retroactive grants are cool but they require builders take on all the risk (build it and you *might* get *some* funding) an alternative ✨proactive✨ approach:

I think there is a mistake in your thinking. I make vastly more money hourly than with Kiwi News and so my risk-free rate is incredibly high. But consider, in 99% or my freelance work, I do not retain ownership in my work, so I cannot gain from it after the fact. You have to factor this in.

sorry where’s the mistake? what i’m proposing gives you the same amount of money per hour worked *and* ownership if you voluntarily work for a lower hourly rate then that’s on you

Nobody will pay for my „risk-free“-level freelance work rate to build @kiwi while I retain full ownership. This is not a hypothetical argument, it is reality. When you freelance, the client takes on 99% of project risk and ownership, hence the high pay. When you retain ownership, that‘s part of your compensation.

btw @nonlinear.eth I already did this and here are 1y of accounting statements: https://github.com/rugpullindex/documents/tree/master/statements/accounting I took 10k€/m and it was great. I retained ownership but the project was entirely vendor locked on their protocol (no ownership) (1/x)

There were tons of issues with this, mostly that people excessively LARPed to also get funding but then never delivered. This also had detrimental efffects, e.g. that it got harder to cut through the bullshit as a legit project, by having to spent days just on writing the proposals etc (2/x)
