## 1) How did you spend your time?
I continued to write and publish more detailed weekly updates here: [https://nostrver.se/blog](https://nostrver.se/blog). These updates are also cross-posted via Nostr as long-form content.
#### Integrated RelayResponse classes
Pull requests:
* [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/59](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/59)
* [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/60](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/60)
Documentation: [https://nostr-php.dev/guides/relay-responses](https://nostr-php.dev/guides/relay-responses)
#### Researched and build a proof of concept of a handling async requests and concurrency
I have published the research outcomes here: [https://nostr-php.dev/references/async-concurrent-requests](https://nostr-php.dev/references/async-concurrent-requests). I also created a page here [https://nostr-php.dev/guides/asynchronous-and-concurrent-requests](https://nostr-php.dev/guides/asynchronous-and-concurrent-requests) with more details and a code snippet. The famous Http/Guzzle client is used for handling the requests in combination with a relative new piece of middleware which enables WebSockets. See [https://github.com/valtzu/guzzle-websocket-middleware/issues/1](https://github.com/valtzu/guzzle-websocket-middleware/issues/1) where I reached out for solving an issue with the middleware.
#### NIP-42 client to relay authentication
Finished, see [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/67](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/67)
#### NIP-19 bech32-encoded entities
Work in progress, see [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68)

* My Telegram bot called Botstix can return my latest note from my personal relay (using PHP Symfony fo this), see [here](https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqpnrnguxe8qszsshvgkvhn6qjzxy7xsvx03rlrtddr62haj4lrm3qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgewaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8xetzv9ehg6tc9ejx2a30qqs8z8ufkgnpejpalpwep7tzu4j53a5skd2tn6vkpeg3qh7h6as23jcx52ufe).
* Fixed the issue that Nostr-PHP was installed as a dev dependency (which it is not) [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/61](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/61)
* Added Matomo for analytics on [https://nostr-php.dev](https://nostr-php.dev) which can be viewed by anyone at [https://matomo.sebastix.nl/](https://matomo.sebastix.nl/)
* Applied for a Nostr stand at FOSDEM 2025 in collaboration with Jurjen and Tanja, see [https://nostrver.se/blog/nostr-stand-submission-fosdem-2025](https://nostrver.se/blog/nostr-stand-submission-fosdem-2025) (fast forward: it got accepted!)
* Tinkered around with a Nostr relay implementation written in PHP: [https://github.com/nostriphant/transpher](https://github.com/nostriphant/transpher)
## 2) What do you plan to work on next quarter?
* Finish the NIP-19 implementation which will support every bech32 entity
* note
* npub
* nsec
* nevent
* naddr
* nprofile
* Research how the [revolt/event-loop package](https://revolt.run/) can be used to serve as a sort of a message bus for handling async and concurrent requests in the library
* Build a final 2.0.x release
* By default and full async concurrent requests support
* Implement NIP-03
* Implement NIP-45
* Implement a firehose demo for requesting Nostr events
* Host the nostr-php.dev website as a static website with Blossom on Nostr. See [https://github.com/lez/nsite](https://github.com/lez/nsite) and [https://github.com/hzrd149/nsite-ts](https://github.com/hzrd149/nsite-ts)
## 3) How did you make use of the money?
* Livings costs
* I attended the Nostriga unconference. A personal recap on this expierence can be read [here](https://nostr.band/note1dphddcfjell49npnjudyztvv7lakj0cs75vr0gk8gq07gypqd5ws8m9jd0).
* I placed a Nostr advertisment on a billboard near the highway here. See this repo with all the assets: [https://gitlab.com/sebastix-group/nostr/nostr-ads](https://gitlab.com/sebastix-group/nostr/nostr-ads)
* I attended Nostrdam and Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024 for organizing and volunteering at the Nostr booth. Here is a post with all my learnings from those days: [https://nostrver.se/note/my-learned-nostr-lessons-nostr-booth-bitcoin-amsterdam-2024](https://nostrver.se/note/my-learned-nostr-lessons-nostr-booth-bitcoin-amsterdam-2024)
## 4) Is there anything we could help with?
I would love to see a (closed/private) digital place with other Nostr OpenSats grantees where we can share our experiences and challenges. We could give feedback to each other as a form of encouragement. For example I'm curious how other grantees are explaining the work they to other which are not familiar with FOSS, Nostr and/or Bitcoin.
