I missed seeing DeltaChat on there from past grants, but I'm glad to see new projects I've never seen before.

i have been considering whether i could apply with my project. i am unsure because until now i am working alone and because of financial difficulties work is stagnating since i need to focus on earning money. i posted about the project here if anyone is curious: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42159045

i have difficulty to judge whether this project is suitable for a grant, and i don't know how much effort it takes to apply and whether i can afford to spend that time instead of focusing on finding other paid work.

Maybe you should make a video explaining what you're working on. I spent a few minutes trying to figure it out and didn't get very far. It's a fork of ... looks like Google Docs, but German, and 25 years old?

(Also it looks like most of the repos haven't been touched in a long time. Which repo is relevant?)

apply. you have nothing to lose, and the bureacracy/burden is very small. I'm a big NLNet fan.

A lot of thaler related projects. Nothing wrong with that, but it suggests that something (the EU digital independence drive?) is making people on the board interested in funding digital cash related stuff.

Thaler presumably winds up having to have a clearing house function, which is a public utility question: Maybe NLNet foundation is thinking about the long history of the dutch engagement in fintech, back to the 17th century?

there is a dedicated fund for taler, that alone explains why there are so many projects. now why there is a fund for that is the real question to ask. i guess the people behind the next generation internet initiative giving money to the foundation thought it is an important topic.

Mox not there?

Unlike those commercial FPGA companies that haven't open sourced their FPGA Architecture source code, VitaSetLLC has, available on https://github.com/VitaSetLLC/VitaOS-Libre under a permissive open source license.

Also the Vita FPGA Architecture Logic and Memory Blocks are bug-free.
