DIY hackable” and only “source available” 🥲

So what dev in their right mind will write and publish code/firmware for this locked behind a restrictive, source-available license? Do they expect someone else to make actual FOSS firmware?

Someone explain this paradox to me.

“Make it anything you want, you just can’t sell or monetize it in any way, ever”

I just… how is any of this in the spirit of Bitcoin or even simply encouraging proper innovation and a flourishing of ideas.

Pretty sure this is where Coinkite realizes the “find out” part of fucking around with restrictive, “source available” licenses instead of doing the right thing and actually leaning into freedom tech.

What I mean is that apps shouldn't be afraid of displaying cryptographic gibberish, raw JSON or relay URLs to end users.

How can a bitcoin app have your private key?

Does anyone care for design workshops? If there was one, what would it cover?

Personally I am not sure how useful this is because you can’t learn much in one session.

In your opinion, what tools are essential for the acquisition, security, privacy and day to day use of Bitcoin for the average person? Would love to hear the specific apps you think get the job done best, with the least barrier to entry.

Streaming on Nostr may not get you the most viewers (yet) but it is legit the most fun I’ve ever had.

At least it’s not an argument for “bits” 😂

Help get Gossip in the biggest FOSS package manager for macOS. If you have a GitHub account, a simple comment to show demand would do and be appreciated. nostr:note1kwlmp9l6h30ewguzyf48dj8gykfgekc6y62sg7daz5qwy389cj4sajk8r2
