did everyone already stop doing the #100pushups challenge? it's only been a week.

Is this purple only?

#introductions

Hello! My name is Azuraye. I like geometry, people, and Nature, especially all together. I run a regenerative farm in Boulder, CO and manage the biomimicry of social, economic, and technological design.

Excited to be here!

Ok, Everybody wants Amethyst Purple now. But hold your horses.

I want to first try a release-based donation model that goes straight to the devs/designers/translators who helped in that specific release. It's similar to what we do today in my release notes where your zap splits go straight to the devs.

The goal of the model is to align the right incentives with the finances: we only get paid when we have something new. If we don't ship, nobody gets anything. That will keep the wheels turning and avoid the usual product stagnation.

On top of that, I don't want to make Amethyst a company. At least not yet. Companies are too centralized and complicated for my current taste. I want to see if we can stay as a humble open-source project while collecting the same amounts a company would but through your direct payments/donations to what would have otherwise been employees.

Basically, an extreme version of value 4 value.

We will see if the idea works. It's still early and we already collect a good amount per month (~$1700/mo combined). So, it should be possible. Fingers crossed.

I'll send 2100 sats to the first person to find where I fucked up and had to glue in a piece of wood to patch over the mistake.

this is right way - not just DEV - for relay admin op cost + app server or full services - depending case by case.

user will have pay-per-use in TIERED way or host facility peering with relays them selves.

Bitcoin will do more for the global south than the IMF / World Bank ever could.

Thank you sir! nostr:note15y28aglu9fszx66cn69pyxd59dgdvxqjmcjwu4pnnuz8wrpsfhfq0vq0tv

Wishing you the best of luck for your recovery! 🙏🏻
