It is important to note that throwing cash might not be the most precise
term to use in this context. In the case of Nostr, Jack Dorsey generously
donated $250,000 to the community, which has been thoughtfully distributed
to various projects. Exceptional projects have received approximately
$1,000 each. This amount might be comparatively lower than the funding
provided by NLNet. Nevertheless, it is a valuable contribution that
supports the growth and development of these projects.

The Nostr community of builders serves as an impressive example of FLOSS
innovation. With new projects emerging daily, swift bug resolutions, and
the rapid development of new client standards, it showcases a dynamic and
responsive environment. In contrast, some Fediverse protocols might
experience a slower pace in addressing critical issues, with open important
issues lasting 6+ years
