Yeah, it's such a weird space, here. Completely defies all free market dynamics because it's aflood with charity. Charities are, by definition, not meant to solve the problems they address. They exist to perpetuate themselves by alleviating problems. These aren't real investors. Real investors want a return on investment, and efficient development raises their returns. Why would an investor pay €500k for something that would be built better for €5k? He wouldn't, but they are. The only real investors we have, on Nostr, are the individual people and companies zapping, crowdfunding, and making contracts with suppliers. We're increasingly off in our own economic ecosystem.

yeah, gitcitadel is doing stuff mainly for academic and git-based software collab, i want to focus on discussions, chat and calendaring
Yeah, we aren't really doing anything with that.
It's common... in America. Particularly the West Coast. I'm used to European investors, particularly German ones. They are much more attentive and critical because they are poorer and worry about making a loss. American investors throw gigantic gobs of money at 10 projects. If one turns out, they break even. If two turn out, they turn a big profit. That works because they have such enormous amounts of money, and it means that they don't have to care what the other 8 do.
