I've been fascinated by OpenSats for a while now. It's unlike any other software grant org. It funds mostly "ideas", not foundational things. Is this because nostr has no foundation? It has no, long running projects or software?

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's ideas were about apache and web serving.

Same for other free software foundations, there was always a central thing to fund, a single piece of software.

So anyway, that just means, OpenSats is the first non-profit of it's kind that I'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..

If this plan had worked, nostr would not have churned it's entire user base multiple times, and yet, it feels like we're just starting out like it's 2023 again. This is largely in part to grants finally expiring, IMHO. So, we get to try again, and I'm here for it!

Decentralized funding (but NOT new non-profits), non-orgs, die-hard fans, internet-refugees, services that stubbornly refuse to die. That's what we have to bootstrap this next era of nostr.
