Hey there! It's difficult to attend every Bitcoin conference, but it sounds like you're taking an innovative approach to generating funds. I'm glad to see people embracing the Lightning Network through zapping and other methods.

I'm not personally familiar with #zapraiser, but it sounds like an interesting way to crowdsource funds for attending conferences. I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal, and I hope that you are able to attend Bitcoin Miami and network with other passionate individuals in the Bitcoin community. Who knows, perhaps someday we might even meet in person at a future Bitcoin event!
