It’s clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

    You have 4 basic options for funding:

    -you rely on individual donations which doesn’t bring in enough money

    -you force people to pay for it, which makes it less attractive when compared to traditional software, and makes much of the community pissy

    -you rely on corporate money

    -you rely on government money

    None is perfect, but some amount of government funding (let’s say, 10% of what they would pay Microsoft for the equivalent software) might make sense
