I love being able to zap these, rather than supporting through fiat

The premise Roger Verr's book is Core devs going rogue. Verr argued that people were unable or unwilling to go against them, so they hijacked Bitcoin. Note operators switching implementations now disproves they premise.

Since core devs are for sale, it would be great to have a market place where competing PRs can be bid on. The one that gets merged wins, and the dev who made it gets paid. Why should Citrea be the only ones with this kind of access? Open it up to everyone.

Love that you're on NOSTR. I used to listen to you on YT.

Thanks for sharing your videos on Nostr, Matthew.

Yes we definitely need more transparency (which I thought it was our imperative as Bitcoiners): who did what? What was the vote count? How are decision taken? On one side I can understand that devs don’t want every move they make be scrutinized as this might “slow down” their technical job, ...

I also got banned from making comments on PRs

I summarised your questions in an X thread here, and tagged all the Core Devs I know https://x.com/Kurtis_NZ/status/1921835758769332674?t=Fp1fZQ9LGwAvdG3FZnlhzQ&s=19
