This appears to be a Stacks-specific fund which is fine, but that ecosystem seems very well capitalized already. I was more excited when I thought this was going to be more generally allocated.
Pretty sure this is also for purely Bitcoin-based projects too. I'll ask Trevor

Just confirmed: it's for any Bitcoin-based projects. It includes Stacks but also any other Bitcoin startups/ventures.

Yeah, the Stacks part makes me worried...

I haven't dove very deep into stacks myself. People seem to be pretty upset by it though. I like that it uses a lisp for its programming language!

I’m a developer working on Stacks myself, but my focus is still very much on Bitcoin. Happy to answer any Qs about design philosophy or anything else!
Maybe I should do a Q&A to clear up any misunderstandings. There are shitcoiners working on Stacks for sure, but not all of us.

Last time when we looked into Stacks in this group, we had to crunch through a lot of marketing BS and we were still not really able to find out what it actually does. That was a big red flag. I think the conclusion was that it's a "buy my shitcoin" scheme with extra steps.
So we would be really interested in you writing a post with technical summary, with Q&A.
I would be interested in
- what are you doing with Stacks specifically?
- how does it work with Bitcoin (how does it actually work...)?
- what does it generally enable and why should we care?
- where are the incentives (how is the token distributed/used...)?
- etc :)

You were right. It was a scam. Left the project in 2021 (this comment is very late) but hey, we all become maximalists in some way XD

Yeah, most of us go through that phase. Welcome back 🫂
