I felt very lucky to have the chance to speak last week about open source development and Nostr at the Bitcoin Ski Summit in Jackson, WY.

It was such a unique event; combining folks from mining, policy, and finance with developers, builders, and even pro athletes.

Skiing at Jackson Hole has been a bucket list item of mine for many years, but the overwhelming highlight of the week for me was hearing that the conference raised $200,000+ for open source projects to be funded through @OpenSats, Brink, and HRF! 🚀

Thank you @Amanda for organizing and for everything else you do for the space! 🙏

OpenSats is proud to announce long term support for bitcoin core developer @Sjors Provoost.

Sjors has reviewed almost a thousand pull requests since 2017, some of them in-depth reviews across many rebases. He has opened about 160 pull requests over the years in various areas, mostly related to the wallet codebase. His main focus is on thorough code reviews as opposed to writing code himself.

Joining @josie and Marco Falke, we are now providing long term support to three bitcoin core developers.

We will be releasing transparency reports and updates as funds are allocated. Understandable that
