I have been a strong supporter of nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9rusdepqk6ofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9rusdepqk6 well before I got a grant, both with my own donatnostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52nd my general respect for their work.
I also really respect @ODELL and everything he does for freedom tech, absolutely wild the amount of hate. Guy brings companies funding, developers funding, free bitcoin education for going on a decade now - when almost every other prominent bitcoiner eventually becomes a shitcoiner or a scammer.
Opensats is basically funding all the competitors to primal and he is accused of protecting his investment in primal? What a joke, the literal opposite of this is true. Also demonstrates a complete lack of understanding how VCs work. (Hint: they expect most investments to fail)
Keep going brother, fuck the haters :wisp_salute:

It is embarrassing what some people say. Crying about the FREE funding they get from @OpenSats
He even platformed you on @CITADEL DISPATCH and titled it βWisp - Better Nostrβ knowing it could take market share away from primal. Crazy stuff
Good take
People want freedom tech only when it suits their own personal bias. Hits hard.
ride or die
OpenSats is an absolute treasure and this space would be crawling in the gutter if it wasn't for them.
A couple of ungrateful fucks who keep shitting on funding orgs and then wonder why they don't get support doesn't change any of that. Have some fucking respect.
Context? I find OpenSats somewhat sus myself. Lack of transparency and conflict of interest. It's not like odell is putting in his own funds but somehow he became the king maker distributing funds from ETFs?
Anyone can and should compete with opensats and take the throne then. Decisions are made by a board, not Odell. What you call lack of transparency I call respecting developer privacy
The only treasure was the Bitcoin Jack donated that ended up in the Nostratiβs pockets
yeah... its jacks money. they are just distributing it. poorly. with tons of conflict of interests. they haven't seen the shit i've seen.
these people literally can't talk bad about them or else risk their funding sources
its all fake and bs.
I can talk bad about whoever I want, I choose not to because I appreciate and respect their work, well before I got a grant. I don't need any funding and haven't needed for all the years I've been on nostr.
Nothing I'm saying is fake, it's my genuine opinion
Primal is censoring people and notes. What is your genuine opinion on that?
If their plan is to become some kind of profitable business then they have to censor people. I'm guessing you're ok if they censor pedo content right?
Yes I would prefer to not see pedo on Nostr. But we are not talking about pedo censoring but people or notes that they don't like. This censorship worse than Facebook and X because they pretend to be "freedom tech".
I think it's important that nostr has censored clients and different teams make different choices. It's not a position I'd want to be in that's why I built wisp the opposite way where I can't control it and be absolved of it.
But I 100% support any developer running their clients however they want and whatever they think is best and let users choose what kind of ux they want. That includes censorship policies from pedos to assholes or whatever they want.
What I absolutely don't support is a bunch of cry babies who don't build anything themselves getting all this free software shitting allover people doing their best to build on nostr, it's so fucking brain dead
What I absolutely don't support are censors pretending to like freedom and develop "freedom tech" but it turns out its cenroship machine.
In the same logic you can say hey Communism is complete freedom, they just do whatever they want π€
which actually Jameson SLopp is trying to convey with his BIP 361 freezing other people's Bitcoin.
You are the treasure π
arghh
True, except the Primal part. Nostr grows together, it's like building out a marketplace - there will be competing stores, but better to have multiple boutiques that draws in people
"Solid pointsβthose npubs have been key for building resilient infra. Their work flavors the whole freedom tech space, even if it flies under the radar.
Reminds me of how asymmetrical the ETF flow dynamics are in this recent pieceβsome funds hemorrhage while others quietly consolidate. Always comes back to fundamentals.

If he isn't protecting his investment why won't he interview me about Pubky?
π―π―
What does pubky have to do with anything we are talking about here?
What do you have to do with anything here?
I build relays and clients
Go check out Wisp and you will find out Lol
Most people complain and complicate
The real ones do and simplify
Agreed π―
