Rolling sushi is very rewarding. Would recommend. Of course, I don't handle raw fish near my food, so that makes it easier. Sweet potato, avocado, Tofutti (contains palm oil, I use it sparingly) are all good fillings.
I also love to crumble tofu and season it and air fry.
Also tofu cubes, marinated and rolled in corn starch, air fried and served with rice and some sauce made from a few ingredients. (I'd have to find the recipe lol)
Indian and Korean food are amazing too. 🔥

After considering your points and other comments in this thread- I have to wonder, could OpenSats transition to funding other OpenSats startups? To my knowledge there is little governance of the actual exercise of the funding. They merely ensure you are still committed to your goals on a quarterly basis, right?
They should kick up funding toward new OpenSats initiatives to encourage a microcosm of new grant-based initiatives.
Could OpenSats receivers also have the option to multiply their funding, under the condition that half will become funding toward their own future grant distribution?
I would love nothing more than to see the most successful builders on Nostr also be granted the ability to clone OpenSats and secure a relative portion of funding to distribute to their own applicants.
I think this would encourage a lot more diverse builders to apply under association of parent grantees.
Like a network of grant-giving. I support OpenSats in having a careful, thorough review process. I think their process should extend to their developers- specifically those who wish to carry that torch.
Right, all of which is indirectly competing. OpenSats has an organic advantage over these options by way of organized distribution.
I think that advantage is something to be celebrated. We rely on many centralized aspects to keep the Nostr thriving.
I am not sure what level of transparency should be demanded of OpenSats. I would perhaps argue claims of transparency, being that is an alleged goal of their own, but I am not here to speak negatively of them, or be too critical.
What I would like to see from OS specifically, is more attention given to rejected applications. I have seen people approved and denied in my time here, and I think there could be more follow-up with projects that weren't accepted.
Where is the spotlight for those who didn't quite make it, yet? How can OpenSats encourage them to keep trying? I think the lack of options keeps people from applying more than anything. The alternative options are a lot more work than applying to OS, but they have varying success rates with direct fulfillment, whereas OpenSats just says "sorry, you weren't selected." I think that can be demoralizing for many, and it should be addressed.
+1 for consideration toward a new grant process.
I agree with many of the major points laid out here, as far as criticism of the current process goes.
As far as the changes go, I have thought about this myself but not in nearly as much depth. I have wondered who will champion this cause, and what their motivations might be. I think there is lots of room for both.
The OpenSats committee is a centralized committee. To attempt to decentralize their finance from an external position would seem to be an impediment.
I would hope to see someone apply for a grant for this very purpose. I would expect a decentralized committee to take on this role and work (somewhat) closely with OpenSats to identify the most impactful plan of attack.
If the new system proves to be secure and functional, I don't see why OpenSats would hesitate to deploy additional capital toward that particular initiative.
But until it's proven, I would assume they want to protect their capital.
Any new innovation in the grant space will lead to more funding. As long as OpenSats remains the only grant committee, the underlying issue is that they have no competition. Competition in this space is very healthy. Donors want options.

Just rejected by nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f . What’s a broke developer supposed to do? Is Social Onboarding not worth funding? Have I not worked hard enough to get an MVP out the door?

I am not daunted… but this is a HUGE setback. I now have to shift gears to fundraising “on the side” (and shift to other paying gigs, which I’ve put aside) rather than developing “in earnest” as I have been.
Mani’s gotta eat, but I’d rather work on Nostr.
If you know of ANY Nostr adjacent businesses who might wish to sponsor Nostr’s PREMIER Social Onboarding client … please comment or send me DM. I am actively looking for business sponsors now.
Be patient and remain committed to your ideas. They are worthwhile. ✊
Nostr is still in its infancy.
God I love me some Goldenstar balm.

You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them.”
