Uh oh
GM. I welcome your groundbreaking initiative.

He's asleep.
I was just being a smart ass with all the drama. We should all give a little to what we use though.
Some of us have a fucking life outside the internet doing important shit. I was sleeping up for my golf game today 😂
Thank you, for feeding my relay admins, kind sir. They work really hard and don't have time to toot their own horns, so I am always grateful to be able to pass on some zaps.
Thank you, @Logen and @utxo the webmaster 🧑💻 , as well.

Done:
I just finished this: https://grantless.org/about
It's a new, permissionless, 100%-nostr-based Open Source Software crowdfunding protocol, based on #catallax, #WoT and #dlists . If you've ever been rejected from a grant application, you might enjoy Grantless :)
It's kind of like OpenSats, in that money goes from donors to software teams, except it's run by you and the people you trust.
Grantless is cypherpunk. There's no middleman, platform or legal entity involved. No KYC nor AML. Anyone can curate, anyone can review work, anyone can handle/escrow funds, anyone can put themselves up for funding (there's no "applying" because you can't be denied a shot at raising money from the plebs). It's crowdfunding done right: where the crowd calls its own shots.
We use decentralized lists for basic curation and spam prevention - but we're just scratching the surface of what we can use dlists for...
Let me know if you have any questions about how it works or if you'd like to have your project show up on #grantless but you don't feel like going through the **permissionless** legwork of getting yourself on there - I can help out with that.
I'll publish a roadmap soon with what I'd like to add to this client in the (near) future.
And I'm probably not looking at notifications tonight, so if you reply here I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Enjoy!
