My man just updated me that he doesnβt remember the acorns being so big. Heβs literally tripping on them.

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 arenβt 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.
