Few hours after discovering Nostr he openly talks about funding it.
Things are rolling really fast for Nostr.
Great work @fiatjaf :)

I cannot help asking myself whether this is out of altruism or repentance? š¤

Probably a bit of both.
I think Jack is truly committed to a make an open social media platform.

"altruism" ... also know as "a load of bullshit" or I don't want to tell you my agenda

Repentance I guess. Which is good, because it pays better.

Nostr has a really good grassroots vibe going on, similar to the early days of bitcoin.
It would be a shame to ruin that with a high profile sponsor with a known record of mismanagement.

Jack is not managing anything in nostr; he already gave the money to Fiatjaf, who is then going to 'drive' things from it. Its totally in his control now. And fiatjaf has contributed well for 2 yrs now to nostr.

Yeah I saw how it played out and I'm happy with it.
I wrote that comment before the funding and planning was carried out and was just afraid of any potential strings attached.

Yes, I've heard that nothing ruins a project faster than getting a boat load of funding too early in it's lifecycle.

You can declare bounties, or donate to devs. There is no actual central project where to send it. Though you can always send to fiatjaf if you want, though he is also just one of the contributors.

It's not a really a project in that way.
It's an open protocol with many different people involved that have their own softwares, ideas and goals.
Fiatjaf is setting up bounties with the money donated by Jack. So you could talk to him if you to add more money to that.

As more of a normie I like the sound of nostr. But I think much like bitcoin wallets it needs someone to come up with a normie friendly client/UX that makes it intuitive to operate.
