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.

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.

I just can't imagine if Bitcoin would be the same if it had a 200k USD seed grant

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

Jack Dorsey funding Nostr (?!)

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.
