Strong opinion, loosely held

For an open source protocol that aims to be credibly neutral, paid bounties work for small tasks but something like an open source client is better if organically built (as a labor of love) and then receives a retroactive public goods type funding.

Purple is a DAO whose goal is to proliferate and expand the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem.

Not sure how strongly I agree with the retroactive public goods type funding bit. That path limits where the open source client can come from. Sometimes the labor of love needs support earlier in the journey. Kinda like @purple, no?

Very much agree that it can’t be born out of a bounty though.
