I was already playing around with a few different clients when he showed
up and I started following him. A few days later he asked how to fund
the development.
I also understand he contributes despite having some
projects of his
own which potentially overlap.
Yes, indeed. He understood very quickly that nostr is exactly what he
wanted to be the backing protocol of Twitter when they started it. Alas
the business side took control over the project and ended up being the
crap it has became.
I didn't mention it in case it made it look like
this was Dorsey's
project and his stab at Twitter Mk Ⅱ. And I'd then have to explain it
wasn't. :-)
It isn't his project, but he's very enthusiastic about it, as is another
co-founder of Twitter, who also has halted the development he was doing
on a different new distributed project and joined forces with nostr
developers. I can't remember his name, but I saw him on a video
interview a couple of days ago I can try to find back for you if you are
interested in watching it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's
following it and is also on TUHS.
Its potential for moving power away from the silos is significant.
Nostr is so important that we cannot afford not to follow and, to the
extent that we can, contribute to it. :-)
Cheers.
