Bitcoin Core dev proposes to convert Core into a walled garden, membership-only repo.
🤷
All because every once in a while there is actual work to be done moderating a PR (btw something, for which already a full-time paid grant by OpenSats (nprofile…uazd) exists)
The more I read such nonsense coming out of Core, the more I think that giving Devs effectively a tenure (through Chaincode, longterm grants Brink, OpenSats etc) is part of the problem, not the solution.
"We want to do our thing, amongst ourselves, not be subject to public scrutiny. But please keep paying us."
Discuss.
