At Geyser we do operate a very slim fiat account, and proud of that ;)

Best is subjective!

But for the most funded you can check out our leaderboard: https://geyser.fund/leaderboard

Maybe our founders: @steliosats and @metamick can give their take ;)

You mean we could not fund or, ideas that are just bad?

There are bad ideas, I won't lie, but if you don't try and improve you'll never know :)

We recently had a Grant partnership with Bitcoin Thailand Conference, which was a blast. We had over 20 new project spawn from it, and so many interesting Bitcoin initiatives we'd never heard about!

Check them out: https://geyser.fund/grants/11

We don't operate in sanctioned countries and we recently limited our ability to reach certain countries in sensitive conflict zones. For funding in these areas we recommend using more censorship resistant, self-hosted solutions.

We don't crowdfund, creators do! :) Geyser is an open platform.

If you mean, would we help funded, I'm sure the Bitcoin/Geyser community would love to!

There are a few related project on Geyser: https://geyser.fund/project/runwithbitcoin https://geyser.fund/project/bitcoinetaeu https://geyser.fund/project/theblackmambas

Let us know if you want to chat and get started. You can dm us on X!

We love Nostr. And indeed, lot's of great Nostr initiatives indeed.

One thing I'm excited about is people recognizing that Bitcoin, Nostr and Geyser are open systems and that anyone with a great idea can just go on here and help fund it. All these nostr initiatives arose from spontaneous action from the community, and the community made those ideas happen.

What we'd love to see is this spontaneous continuing to flourish throughout the space and infect newby builders, educators, creatives to know that this is possile!

Thank you for contributing to these great initiatives. They would not be possible without your support! ❤️

We're also really excited about seeing the entire Nostr ecosystem come together and through Geyser fund these great initiatives. It's truly inspiring and we're lucky to be playing this important role.

So many! Probably "Pools"

Pools are a bit like SN Territories, in that anyone can create a Pool and curate their favorite projects on Geyser and projects can apply to be part. This is a cool use case for organizing projects of similar types, and allowing the community to do so. This will help Bitcoin Film Fest, for example, to curate all their certified Bitcoin films or Mi Primer Bitcoin to verify all their NodeNetwork nodes.

Another big one is Credit Card payments. Imagine if you could pay a campaign with credit cards, and the funds are swapped over and sent to a user's lightning address!

Final one is Memberships, which can flip subscriptions on their head. Rather than asking for people to send funds on a monthly basis (who wants to do that, ugh) to get access to a community. Creators on Geyser could create membership plan based on how much each user had sent on Geyser. So they can create exclusive hidden content, give special discounts to those who enter those tiers.

Ok finally, since you ask, one more: Heroes. Heroes are users who are sharing a project and enabling transactions to happen. We use referral codes, so that any Geyser user sharing any project could become a hero. We then create a leaderboard tracking the top Heroes. No monetary benefit just pure signaling and recognition. After all, Heroes help Bitcoin Adoption happen faster! We lov'em!

Lot's to BUIDL.

It would definitely be K00b, if we had ever met him.

Great feedback! I like idea 2, for individual journalists to make polls on areas they are most interested in.

Idea 1 seems to be most related to solving the problem suggested above. Geyser Grants community voting is tried and tested, check out the ones we did for Bitcoin film fest, where community votes for their favorite projects with sats: https://geyser.fund/grants/6

🫡 We'll bring it back for you sir

100% Thank you Tomek! We love the European Halving Party event you put together, hopefully we'll be able to come.

That's a plan!

Our open source community was working on an open source widget. I think it was @sepehr: https://github.com/geyserfund/geyser-app/pull/1282

The peer-to-peer pressure that makes it possible for the potential energy of a community to come together in a beautiful display of water!
