It&#39;s unlike any other software grant org.  It funds mostly &#34;ideas&#34;, not foundational things.  Is this because nostr has no foundation?  It has no, long running projects or software?&#xA;&#xA;The apache project, was bootstrapped from nothing with no funds, for 2 YEARS before the apache foundation was created to fund APACHE.  Not to fund, whatever people&#39;s ideas were about apache and web serving.&#xA;&#xA;Same for other free software foundations, there was always a central thing to fund, a single piece of software.&#xA;&#xA;So anyway, that just means, OpenSats is the first non-profit of it&#39;s kind that I&#39;ve seen, that is an incubator of *potential software.  And to make matters more weird, it specifically will NOT fund projects that are long running..&#xA;&#xA;If this plan had worked, nostr would not have churned it&#39;s entire user base multiple times, and yet, it feels like we&#39;re just starting out like it&#39;s 2023 again.  This is largely in part to grants finally expiring, IMHO.  So, we get to try again, and I&#39;m here for it!&#xA;&#xA;Decentralized funding (but NOT new non-profits), non-orgs, die-hard fans, internet-refugees, services that stubbornly refuse to die.  That&#39;s what we have to bootstrap this next era of nostr.&#xA;&#xA;SHOUTOUT to https://www.grantless.org/about nostr:npub19ma2w9dmk3kat0nt0k5dwuqzvmg3va9ezwup0zkakhpwv0vcwvcsg8axkl &#xA;&#xA;This ^^^ is gentlemen.&#xA;&#xA;nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqlxr9zsgmke2lhuln0nhhml5eq6gnluhjuscyltz3f2z7v4zglqwqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgmwaehxw309a6xsetxdaex2um59ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsqg9rjydqet4pph4wt4nsmd0tk596u9n6qalu8naqryxmvcl07r0d4cyw9prg</html></oembed>
