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!

Is this a growing trend? Open Sats won't fund the "competition"
it has always been like this
Fiat's inefficiencies exposed: 0% interest rates, 8% inflation, and struggling projects like Damus can't secure grants.
damn. why do we even try a beg
When will the matter be resolved ?
it wont be and jack doesn't care. time to exit
Aren't there a dozen different organizations that offer grants for FOSS freedom tech? Why do folks act like OpenSats has a monopoly?
Didn't you want to get a job.
i am getting one, whats your point
Sounds like a lot going on in addition to "real work".
yeah well we have ai now
what other orgs? HRF is already pretty overloaded
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.
Thx
Relying on any grants is the dumbest way to do it! Don’t have money and time don’t contribute at all.
Switch it to Ed25519 and get some Synonym money. If uncensorability is your driver, this makes the most sense imo.
Can't you do everything yourself with Claude Code ?
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?
Thats what im doing now yeah
