Jack/#startsmall β†’ OpenSats: $31M Explicitly earmarked for Nostr: $10M Separate Jack β†’ fiatjaf Nostr fund: 14.17 BTC Original OpenSats Nostr LTS cohort: 13 people Still there the following year: 12 of 13 92.3% retention At least 10 of those 13 were already tied to earlier OpenSats-funded work. 76.9% At least 6 of 13 also show up in the earlier Jack-funded fiatjaf grant/bounty ledger. OpenSats says roughly 35% of its Nostr allocation went to long-term support. Public counters for just 15 Nostr projects total: 4,910,934,862 sats 49.109 BTC In that visible sample: Top 5 projects = 69.4% Top 10 = 94% And those aren’t 15 completely independent technical roots. Some of the money funds NDK, Applesauce, rust-nostr, Quartz and other shared infrastructure that sits underneath multiple apps. Then you start seeing the same humans through: project grants renewals LTS direct BTC grants HRF grants LLCs shared libraries evaluator roles Does that prove corruption? No. Does it prove Jack controls Nostr? No. Does it prove the funding layer deserves to be measured separately from the protocol? Absolutely. Keep it classy

For nearly a century, the U.S. military has selectively assisted entertainment that can portray military institutions in ways compatible with its public-affairs goals, while withholding assistance from some portrayals it considers unrealistic, damaging, or inconsistent with policy. Over millions of viewings, that helps shape the cultural vocabulary #Americans use to imagine war, heroism, threats, technology, and military service. So friends : do you know those movies? 🍿 cause … whoa boy rabbit 🐰 hole πŸ•³οΈ

On today’s episode of why I hate the state … let’s talk about USA Pentagon to Hollywood pipeline βœ… Pentagon-Hollywood liaison offices exist. βœ… Scripts are reviewed. βœ… Changes can be suggested. βœ… Full support requires approval. βœ… Rough cuts can be reviewed. βœ… Recruiting/retention is an official consideration. βœ… Access can include extraordinary military assets. ❌ This does not prove the Pentagon controls all Hollywood content.
