I mean, is it a more effective and/or efficient application of the same amount of funds? If I have €200k sats and I want to give them to devs, is it better to give it to a board or to donate directly? We all assume the board has the most information, which is often the case in a particular case, but is it possible across all donors? I suspect not. The board has one particular set of information, but not necessarily more than the entire group of donors. Each donor has a particular subset of information and can probably make educated guesses within that sphere, that would add up to more accuracy in aggregate. Is central planning really more efficient?

Centralization of resources is more efficient in every measurable way. But measurable efficiency does not always produce “desired” results… esp when what’s “desired” is unknown. “shooting from the hip” to solve problems in a fluid problem space … micro funding from distributed sources may be more effective. I DO think this model of funding can scale to support for larger and longer duration projects. But this nut won’t be easy to crack, and people gotta want it. Nostr has to want it.
