🤦‍♂️ Give it time.
Reneging on a bounty after people have been working so hard seems wrong. Give everyone a chance to showcase their versions.
Everyone knew a bounty would produce competitors… that’s the point. Let the best product emerge from the competition.
I’m working on the problem from another direction.
IMHO, Nostr isn’t the right platform for this because it doesn’t guarantee IP privacy.
I expect devs will be increasingly persecuted in the future. There needs to be a system that devs can use to publish code pseudonymously - with IP privacy by default. Other devs should be able to subscribe and access code privately by default too.
I’m not specifically chasing the bounty so I’m happy others are working on it. I’m hopeful we can learn and improve the options available to protect devs.
Unless you are talking about intellectual property ... nip34 or ngit should work using separate npubs via VPNs or TOR. What am I missing?
Yes, all what's proposed is for brutally transparent development, only but you can hide your ID.
If IP privacy is optional then it doesn’t really exist. Maybe you’ll reuse the same npub in another insecure client. Maybe you’ll forget to reenable the proxy selection after testing. Eventually a opsec mistake will be made and you’ll dox your entire history.
Brutally transparent development is fine. My perspective is that you shouldn’t be responsible for privacy. It should be fundamentally built into the platform — always on.
Nostr is great for random social chat but privacy is an afterthought.
IMHO not suitable for secure private software development.
Yeah, well, it's been some time. Let's all work in the open and pool our brain power. I hope nobody bullshits Jack into giving the bounty to anything but the most deserving people. I would love to see teams to pool forces and then agree on how to split funds instead of one beating the other.
And for the record, I'm not in the race for this bounty. I'm just enthusiastic about seing GitHub dethroned in a much more cypherpunk future where unstoppable code gets developed by shadowy supercoders.
Soon it will all be out in the open. I’m interesting in releasing a finished product. I met with Dan in Japan and learned a lot from our chat. We’ll see if he adapts his frontend to my backend spec, or if he sticks with his own path. I already recruited nostr:npub1u9e887ad8pl49cxgzqkuljxcxy89dtac7jkyuajnukxg6hu2hufqdjdsp7 of the NostrGit project to join forces, and a great developer from South Africa. Our main relay/Merkle Tree coder is from the U.K. We have an international team making this happen.

I’m interested* in releasing a finished product.
