If there's no middlemen involved, what does this mean? It looks like the risk is being shared to people you trust, but to build trust takes time and reputation. I like and trust the team at OpenSats are doing a good enough job, so how does this differentiate from what they already do? It's the same but sold differently, right? The trust mechanism is still there. image

OpenSats is a gatekeeper, centralizing control under guise of trust, mirroring Rothschild tactics.
the teams seeking funding themselves could act as their own arbiter if they want. i should have said "middleman optional". this basically would let a thousand OpenSats bloom. (if there is any appetite for such a thing. it may just be the case that enough people feel the way you do that the couple charity bodies continue to reign unchallenged). so i also could have said "a marketplace for all different varieties of middleman - from 'none' to 'demonic' " maybe someone takes it upon themself to curate only performance improvement tasks across all clients that have a budget less than 100,000 sats - something "beneath" a large charity organization... i don't know how people may use this, but i hope we'll see!
also, the whole point is you don't have to pollute bitcoin and point me at another place on the internet where you can do literally actually trustless anything. yeah, i thought so.
