Ha! Irony indeed ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

(It's a post from over the Mostr bridge to the Fediverse, maybe you or your client have it blocked?)

Trying out the new video filter feature on nostr:npub10qdp2fc9ta6vraczxrcs8prqnv69fru2k6s2dj48gqjcylulmtjsg9arpj. Who needs #tiktok anyway?? ๐Ÿ˜

Try using 'video:true' in the search bar, and 'protocol:nostr' to filter out bridge content.

This whole process has really surprised me, but itโ€™s good news, so excited to share!

In the summer of 2023, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) launched a Bitcoin Bounty program aimed at funding software developers to create new tools and features for Bitcoin tailored to the needs of dissidents and human rights advocates challenging authoritarianism worldwide. These bounties ranged from UX improvements to privacy upgrades and open-sourcing closed and permissioned systems.

There were 11 bounties in total, each with specific objectives. The deadline was Dec. 31, 2024.

We are excited to announce that every single bounty was claimed and that the resulting tools and upgrades are now empowering human rights activists daily across popular apps such as Blue Wallet, Zeus, Stack Wallet, Iris, Coracle, Keeper, Bull Bitcoin, Cake Wallet, and more.

This program highlights the impact of collaboration between human rights activists and software developers to create better tools for freedom. HRF is proud to have played a role in this effort and looks forward to continuing similar programs in the future. Special credit goes to the Oslo Freedom Forum, where much of the critical interaction between developers and activists occurred.

This wave of bounties was inspired by a successful pilot project in 2021, executed in partnership with Strike and Jack Mallers, which supported developers like Will Cassarin and Calle. Their innovations later gave rise to important advancements such as zaps in Nostr and the Cashu ecash protocol.

We learned a lot through this process and look forward to doing similar things in the future.

Thereโ€™s so so much to be gained from mixing political dissidents with developers!

This is great! Nice work to all involved. ๐Ÿš€

Yep. This is why I, an admin of a 20k+ Fediverse server, have moved primarily to Nostr. Your freedom should not be in someone else's hands, and I don't want to control others speech any more than I want my own controlled.
