Oddly unspecific name? Check.
Low contrast? Check.
Generic illustrations like all hipster startups? Check.
Expects me to trust some random website with a root shell? Check.
"Decentralization" & "Governance"? Of course. True crypto bros.
"Whitepaper"? You bet.
And I still have no clue what specifically they plan to do. It's something about paying for open source, but then again we've seen many unsuccessful attempts there recently.
I do wish they put almost that exact sentence at the top.
> The tools that build the Internet have steeped too long. It’s time for a fresh brew.
What tools? The internet as in... HTTP? Servers? Caching? LLVM? DNS? BGP?
> We’re uniquely placed to have tangible impact on all aspects of software development and we intend to.
I'm not sure what this means. Hugely scoped.
If I spend a few minutes reading the copy, trying to gauge intent, and interpret what they're saying I get an idea of the pitch. But, not how it works. Not the product itself. It says it "sets my stack up right". I'm not sure what that means given it demo's placing a binary into ./bin.
The copy is only a story about payment. But nothing else about how that works. Plus, you're more likely to read the highlights, see stuff about a DAO, and write it off as another fad.
This seems to be largely the same pitch that oscoin.io / monadic.xyz / radicle.xyz had back in 2017. They must have burned, what, 10 million dollars by now? I'm really curious what the business model behind an outfit like this is...
