Most developers lose money, working on Nostr stuff. Even the few with grants could often make more money, for longer, elsewhere, and lots of us work completely unpaid or even pay to work (because of running costs exceeding contributions). I doubt this will change, in the near future, but that's why we're almost all keeping other sources of income.

I think this is just an effect of the small market size, tho, and might eventually change, so being "in" early and just suffering the loss might be an investment.

It's massively strangling the pace of development, but maybe that's a bit of a feature, not only a bug, as the solutions slowly arriving are often better than the original ideas. Or maybe I'm just trying to rationalize my 70-hour work week, at dumping wages. 😂🤷‍♀️

Later, gators!
