Ugh. Super frustrating. @SeedSigner was one of the first hardware I came across as a reputable, DIY project that pulled me into the Bitcoin space. I’m genuinely shocked that @OpenSats doesn’t see it as a viable, long-term investment for the open source & Bitcoin community. Agreed they should modify their statement to: “OpenSats remains committed to funding [a certain niche of] builders who keep Bitcoin's hardware infrastructure open, auditable, and accessible”

On Seedsigner, its the most used foss diy signer, there is no excuse not fund beyond nepotism from some in the opensats team (thats all we can conclude), which is dangerous, not in bitcoins interest. I can see why many are skeptical of opensats impact. Fixed by making the submission process open, its too much power over bitcoin for these decisions to be a blackbox.
