I'm a developer located in the US that has been contributing to some of the popular Bitcoin open source projects.
My full time non-bitcoiner software engineering job pays me close to $200k and I need that much money for myself and my dependents.
I want to work full time in Bitcoin.
Is there a way to get similar amount of funding so I can fully work on Bitcoin? If so, how?
This can be challenging. The nominal Spiral grant is $100k for 12 months. We also support developers getting additional grants from other funders as long as it is for the same project/work, and HRF, Gemini, and others have done this before.
There also may be full-time opportunities at some companies that allow you to work on FOSS bitcoin, although typically that is in conjunction with working on a commercial product.
