In the short/medium term would some form of relationship with @nprofile…5h0z be beneficial?
OpenSats could recommend #grantless to all applications they were unable to fund. They could even act as an Arbiter for selected projects they are unable to fund, but still wish to succeed.
If @nprofile…5h0z are truly interested in the Nostr ecosystem and growth this would seem like a no brainer, so long as your processes are clear and robust. (Also probably a good idea to clarify some of the questions asked in the comments before making any approach.)

2026-06-01 17:14:18 UTC

It is not possible to implement a growth strategy on a decentralised protocol like nostr.
However well intentioned it may have felt, giving grants to selected projects is an attempt to select the winners, which has the effect of stifling and disincentivising open competition by raising the barriers to entry. Clearly @nprofile…zj6n as a core donor to the @nprofile…5h0z project, was and is aware of this yet it seems to have happened anyway albeit with predictable results. Maybe it felt like a risk worth taking or no risk at all.
Two questions:
What will the representatives of Opensats, who have openly acknowledged that their efforts have not improved adoption, learn from the recent disagreements and will this lead to any change in their strategy?
Will the representatives of Opensats see that their recent online comments have served to damage their professional credibility in respect of the privileged positions they hold and of the organisation they represent?
Final thought:
Disagreement is an important and crucial aspect of determining which apps/services/tools will survive and should be treated as a positive, no matter how fractious. Recent examples are therefore healthy and should be welcomed.
Disagreement >> Heat >> Change

We can disagree about things but that shouldn't stop us focusing on what's important to us, nor should we need to stop others focusing on what is important to them.

Unfortunately a world without empathy is the world the tech bro's are currently building. I say bro's because the dominance of men in the tech industry is exactly the cause of this shift towards the masculine, unempathetic world. Presently the majority of bro's have not twigged the fall into barbarism which follows.
Stay small and be a beacon of hope in your local communities. One day this will pass.

Intimacy is allowing access to your soul
Yet we are caught between seeking and fearing intimacy in our relationships
We seek intimacy because our soul wants to be seen
Our soul want to be seen so that it can experience itself through the other
So that it can connect to other souls and to the world soul
We fear intimacy because we have not learned about souls
We do not know how we should be intimate with them
So our souls get hidden away for fear they will be misunderstood or taken advantage of
Belittled to the point where we forget all about them like they never even existed
Souls! Don't be so foolish child, and our soul withers to nothingness
But if we are lucky some event, person or experience reaches the depths
Where our dormant soul lays and rekindles it's desire to be seen again
And if we are lucky, as we recall this feeling we will realise we can choose
Whether to open the door to the soul
Or to close it shut where at least it will be safe
There is no right or wrong to living with or without soul
We must each act according to our circumstance
But for those who choose to live with soul
We must learn how to be intimate without fear
So that our souls remain open to seeing those souls locked away
