unsurprisingly our last contributor failed to get another OpenSats grant to continue working on damus. so i will be working on nostrdb, damus android, damus ios, notecrumbs and noteguard myself going forward. If you are looking to work on damus via an opensats grant don't bother, as they will reject your application. Contributors are still welcome!

Fiat's inefficiencies exposed: 0% interest rates, 8% inflation, and struggling projects like Damus can't secure grants.
Wait how do they have competition? Who are they supporting? Aren’t they a non for profit?
They might do the funding if you somehow integrate cashu in the app. Cashu related projects have received millions of dollars and continue to get funding in every round.

Switch it to Ed25519 and get some Synonym money. If uncensorability is your driver, this makes the most sense imo.
Can Claude actually handle all those moving parts at once though? Seems like there's limits to what AI can scaffold vs what needs real human judgment. What's your take—do you use it for specific tasks or full features?
