I could not picture her ever sitting there. Nor reading a book for that matter. She has a jet to catch, lambos, mansions, and non stop parties to keep her mind busy. No time to read or learn how to sew or knitting either.

I can’t wrap my brain around this…

seriously, what the actual fk was going on in government!?

Frank 1y ago

Well they cheated hard to get all the clowns installed into government.

Now everyone was expecting cheating so much they decided they better not try that again.

Now we have normalcy for a while. I hope Trump can stay safe. He needs the highest security ever now, so we can fix the damage of the last 4 years.

Morning muse:

I know bitcoin is the best but is it just me or does comparing how much more money we would have with Solana vs Bitcoin for the last 2 years.

I started Nostr back in 2023 and Solana was $18 now it is over $200 and climbing.

Way out performing bitcoin. Shakes my damn head.

The percentage gain is insane.

I was shocked. #[0] #[1] #[2] #[3] #[4]

After waiting for a long few months for #[5] 's application for #[6] funding, I received an email from opensats rejecting Freerse's application for development funding.

I didn't expect Freerse would not be funded by opensats. I really want to build a simple and easy-to-use Bitcoin social payment client for Nostr. It is also liked by many Nostr users. I spent 1 and a half years building Freerse and sold my own Bitcoin. Why are so many clients that no one uses or even hears of getting funded? And Freerse can't get funding. There are also some people who participated in Nostr construction for a short time and left after getting funding, while people like us who have been building for Nostr can't get funding. I want to know the reason for not being funded? How can I improve it?

The reply received was:

“The Board noted that there has been very little Github activity on the project, including zero activity in the past few months. Please feel free to reapply in the future if you are actively working on the project.

Building up a substantial amount of proof of work is important for applications.”

I was shocked again.

Before applying for opensats, we had built Freerse for a year and a half. It was my first time to build an open source project. It was only because opensats required open source that we put the Freerse code on GitHub. When applying for opensats funding, my own funds had run out. I built Freerse, but I was just a product designer, not a programmer. I had no way to pay the programmer's salary. During the months of waiting for opensats funding, I could only pay for the maintenance of the server and the usual bug fixes. I have been waiting for the funding review of opensats to get the funds to continue building Freerse. I need to earn money to support myself in these months. After waiting for a few months. What I got was the board's disregard for the work we spent more than a year and money to build Freerse. Ignoring the love of Nostr users for Freerse. Ignoring our efforts to keep the Zap function of Nostr's posts on iOS, and fighting with Apple for two months through the App Store regulations in exchange for the Nostr iOS client being able to keep the Zap function of posts.

Ironically. The OpenSats board said that they want to see the updates to our github as proof of work for the past few months we have been waiting to apply for funding. Isn't our already built client our proof of work? Does the board only look at the surface? Haven't the board members used our client? Can't we apply for OpenSats funding for our already completed client?

Freerse's now completed client function is our proof of work. Freerse is fully qualified to receive funding from OpenSats. Please consider it carefully. We want to continue building for Nostr and create a simple and easy-to-use Bitcoin social payment client. Please fund us and we will continue to build.

I have no skin in the game. So just my opinions:

It seems like you completed something and spent a whole lot of long months on it.

Now you want to get compensated for a completed project. (Even though you mention this is only the first phase) they may think you will see the money as payment for what you already did. And you may slowly or not complete another phase. (Did it catch on? Are people begging for more of your project??)

I think it is immensely challenging to be a developer hoping for funding.

Once your product catches on and you keep adding cool add ons, I would keep reapplying to them again.. Or figure out some sort of pay model that works.. some value that people really want to give you money for because it is so cool, and sought after.

Who is Russ Ulbricht?

No fucking clue. Hear his name everyday. What's his story?
