With that being said, I don't think Scuttlebutt has any chance of succeeding. SB network has some fairly serious architectural issues which may or may not have solutions that are achievable with the current design. I ended up uninstalling.
I believe the actual number is 0. Would be pleased to hear otherwise.
The company mentioned to give the money, "Dfinity", has no mention of Scuttlebutt on their Twitter, Medium, or company website. I can only seem to find things related to the Dfinity token presale and airdrop, which I assume is an ICO.
Scuttlebutt would greatly benefit from having a real source of funding. If anyone can provide proof Scuttlebutt is now funded please post it here.
The grants issued this month are for client maintenance/features, hosted pubs, and on-boarding.
FWIW, most SSB talk happens on SSB, and "Funded" has a very different meaning to the VC world.
