The White Rose
The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

Hi 👋 as always: you’re free to do your own research.

2026-09-28 18:26:43 UTC

Yep, agreed on the fixed window and separate ledgers. I was already tracking both.
One correction though:
Soapbox, Ditto, Mostr, Nostrify and Shakespeare were not five of my 15 rows. Soapbox was one row. The others were listed under Alex Gleason’s broader project family.
The actual 15-row sample totals:
4,910,934,862 sats = 49.10934862 BTC
I already canonicalized the project rows to humans/teams:
15 project rows
→ 14 canonical human/team nodes
because Amber + Citrine both resolve to Greenart7c3.
That collapse does not change the Top 5 share because those duplicate rows are below the Top 10.
Top 5
Soapbox
NDK
Damus
Coracle
ngit
= 34.07264325 BTC
= 69.381% of the 15-project public-counter sample
And yes, sats and dollars have always been separate ledgers in my audit.
The remaining job is the fixed-window reconciliation against OpenSats’ own payout records, not rebuilding the accounting method from scratch.
One reason I’m waiting before updating again: the public project counters are currently moving.
So I’m snapshotting values + dates and letting that activity settle before I recalculate.
Otherwise I’d be comparing a moving target to an old snapshot. 😂

🟪 RECEIPT:
2025 Nostr LTS roster:
13 people.
12 / 13 were returning LTS recipients.
= 92.3%
But I went back another layer.
How many had already received OpenSats support BEFORE becoming LTS?
13 / 13.
100%.
SnowCait was new to LTS.
SnowCait was NOT new to OpenSats funding.
So the 2025 roster was:
92.3% returning to LTS
100% previously supported by OpenSats
0% entering LTS without prior OpenSats support.
That is why I follow funding histories instead of counting names.

🔴 GOVERNANCE / STRUCTURE QUESTIONS
Not accusations.
Questions.
Who funds whom repeatedly?
Who becomes LTS?
Who reviews grants?
Who approves grants?
Who is both recipient + infrastructure maintainer?
Who authors standards?
Who controls default relays?
Which apps rely on the same SDKs?
Which projects survive?
Which projects merge or die?
How replaceable are shared technical roots?
How many different project names map back to the same humans?
⬜ THINGS WE STILL DO NOT KNOW PERFECTLY
├── every unique human recipient
├── every recipient-level payment date
├── every private donor
├── every zap / community payment
├── exact personal compensation
├── exact amounts for many LTS awards
├── full ecosystem human-level HHI
├── complete technical dependency HHI
├── full hosting concentration
└── every grant transaction ID
RULES OF THE AUDIT
Funding ≠ control.
Project funding ≠ personal income.
Project count ≠ unique human count.
Concentration ≠ corruption.
Unknown ≠ zero.
Announcement ≠ allocation.
Allocation ≠ payable.
Payable ≠ paid.
Project counter ≠ payment ledger.
Role overlap ≠ wrongdoing.
THE QUESTION
Not:
“Is Nostr decentralized?”
Too easy.
The questions are:
Who funded it?
Who got funded?
Who got funded repeatedly?
What did they build?
Who depends on what they built?
Where did the money concentrate?
Where did the infrastructure concentrate?
And is that changing over time?
Follow the sats.
Follow the humans.
Follow the code.
Follow the dependencies.

Before I start dropping receipts: 🧾
🟩 = verified money / amount
🟦 = project / recipient / output
🟪 = repeat funding / renewal / LTS
🟧 = concentration / structure / math
⬜ = limits / unknowns / what the evidence does NOT prove
Receipts first. Conclusions second.
