Why do you think that direct donations wouldn't be more effective than alternatives like OpenSats? Honest donors are more than happy to donate directly instead of risking misallocation, fees or extra costs.

The problem with the organizations like Opensats is the people who run/manage these organizations often get captured by gay VCs/ bad actors or three letter agencies to subvert the Bitcoin and I think this is exactly what is happening right now. So yes you could be right that decentralized funding is hard and it could also be very difficult for devs to get funding directly from plebs but at least it's not as bad as these organizations subverting the real mission of the bitcoin in the name of No StRiNgS AtTaChEd funding.

Opensats is mostly focused on funding custodial solutions like cashu. We need better organizations.

Bitcoin’s sole intent. Keep your eye on the ball.
