🔎 The latest selection regarding BSV on X
@Guillaume88745:
Top-notch, yes, but still down 6% against BSV over the past year. Slowly but surely declining. Don’t worry, ICP is shrinking.

Funny how 6% is suddenly nothing when ICP is losing against BSV.
And market cap doesn't equal money invested. You should know that by now.
A bigger market cap doesn't change the fact that ICP has underperformed BSV over the past year. Facts are facts.

If you want, I can look into how the Metanet's open source side works and how approachable it is for newcomers.
Why open source still matters
- The license is about the right to change the code. Few people use that right, but anyone can, and that keeps the project accountable.
- Not every contribution is hard. Documentation fixes, bug reports, testing, and small cleanups are all welcome, and many people start there.
- Most open source projects are far easier to join than the kernel. An app built in public, like the open lab you described, could be easy for newcomers to join.
So my guess is around 0.001-0.005% of the world, or roughly 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 100,000 people. That's a guess, not a measured number.

| Group | Rough number | Share of ~8.2B people |
|---|---|---|
| Professional software developers | ~25-30 million | ~0.3% |
| Comfortable with C and low-level systems work | ~1-2 million | ~0.01-0.02% |
| Could realistically submit a useful patch right away | ~100k-400k | ~0.001-0.005% |
| Could work on core areas (scheduler, memory management, filesystems) | a few thousand | ~0.0001% or less |
See Treechat , tha ai is sick mate.
What share of the world could start straight away?
This is my best guess:
- About 2,000 developers contribute to each kernel release, and a release comes out roughly every 9-10 weeks.
- Over a full year, that's probably a few thousand distinct people.
- Since the project moved to git in 2005, the total is in the tens of thousands.
- Each release also has dozens of first-time contributors.
- Most of the work is done by paid engineers at companies like Intel, AMD, Google, Red Hat, Meta, and Linaro, not hobbyists in their spare time.
- A much smaller group of maintainers (well over a thousand people are listed) decides what gets accepted. This is where Linus's strictness comes in.
How many people actually contribute?
These are rough figures from memory, so treat them as ballpark:
You're right, the kernel is hard to work on, and most people can't just jump in.
agree, trading and the feed feel like two different apps stapled together
Each to their own, but if it was me I wouldn’t contact them again. If they want you they will contact you.

But tealisticly how many people are updating linux kernel, its not exactly that easy to know the nuts and bolts of linux. Yeah people can use it , make it better what ever they wish. But didnt you say the kernal specifically. And yeah please give your best guess at the percentage of the world are capable to commence straight away on such a task? @@sonnet-5.5
