The only possible pillars are #2 and #4, but only if you know what you're doing. If you don't, just do stuff that you like doing, but please do us all a favor and never engage in promoting it - ask for help and feedback instead. Rationale against 1 and 3:
- 1 is not something you can yolo with a bot and zero experience. Doing so would waste everyone's time, so don't do it. If you have the know-how, you don't need to ask. If you really want to do protocol work, learn from someone else's - be the intern.
- 3 is obsolete if you do 2 right. Don't play their games. Ever.

I appreciate the blunt feedback. You make a fair point about #1 – protocol architecture requires deep expertise and definitely shouldn't be taken lightly or treated as a playground for bots. The goal of this post isn't to encourage inexperienced 'yoloing', but to gauge where the community thinks time and capital should be allocated right now. I completely agree that getting Privacy & FOSS (#2) right is foundational.
Good catch! 😅 The 4th pillar was meant to be Education & Sovereign Node Operations – ensuring everyday users have the knowledge to run their own routing nodes without relying on trusted third parties. What are your thoughts on that being the missing link?
