Humans only build solutions when critical, although we are far from it now it'll spin up very quickly when we are squeezed enough.
Even Tim Burners Lee is on the case 🤝. Lots of great minds are quietly grinding.

Yerp, and that will cause another fork, splitting the few who would get behind the paul-fork

I wish it the best, but I fear it'll flop, and be the final nail in the coffin for Drivechains 🙁

Apple silicon/closed architecture primed for agentic, which 95% of ai compute is used for.

You're underestimating the cost of compute. This bubble will pop and likely take the market with it (oracle, coreweave, equinix, nvidia), ai capex is deranged. Margins may make sense eventually, but the infrastructure (chips, energy, data centers) needed for compute will remain a monopoly. Its a dotcom replay, and companies that survive (like Amazon) will dominate. Apple is prob in the best position, having not been duped by manic ai investment.

We all miss airdrops I suppose 🙄

Idk, hopefully opensats improves 🤷‍♂️
The concept makes sense, the implementation is buggy if a project like seedsigner gets no funding due to nepotism.

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.

And may I add, i am personally prob responsible for coordinating the most hardware workshops in bitcoin, and have been driving force inspiring people to build hardware. Ugh, what a shitshow

Nope. All they said was they expected projects to become self-sustainable (not mentioned anywhere in their paraphernalia).
The submission process is a backward blackbox, with no feedback or appeal process. Opensats submission process needs radical improvements, especially considering the impact/power they have over projects and developers.

And you stopped funding us, the free and open source developers that brought you:
* The first nostr hardware signer
* The nostr remote signer
* The cheapest diy bitcoin hardware wallet
* The immensely popular bitcoinswitch (used a lot in education)
* The fossa offline bitcoin atm
* The LNpos
All used a bunch and require maintaining.
