I have not found a single open source toC application case. ToC applications lack a positive incentive mechanism for open source. Zuckerberg open sourced Llama because Meta missed the best time. He was forced to open source by competition and surpass OpenAI by imitating Android. The other reasons are all high-sounding. He is not an open source advocate. These vested interests who advocate open source are also unwilling to open source their current successful applications. The successful open source companies I have seen are toB companies. Most of the successful open source software companies open source some common tools in some emerging industries. For example, the big data and AI industries. After more companies use this tool on github, they provide value-added services around the tool. For example, Databricks.
Starting a business is difficult. You have to face team salary and product revenue issues every day. Lightning wallets also need to face legal risks. I understand Tony's pressure, but this is the price of creating new things. You can take a break if you feel you can't stand it. This is a rare opportunity to reflect and grow. It is common for startups to fail, and failure is a way to find the right path. But Tony needs to consider his future direction. "I've fallen out of love for Bitcoin and the industry."
Some thoughts as a mutiny angel investor. Open source wallets are hard. They’re even harder to monetize. The samourai/wasabi shit made that monetization even harder. Having seen some of the financials, I feel confident stating the team isn’t/wasn’t “pocketing money”. They are a small scrappy startup team working with limited resources. I believe they are doing their best / did their best with the wallet. I don’t believe anything nefarious is going on. Startups are just fucking hard.
