South American Nostr users:
if we held the next Nostr Fest in Uruguay, Argentina or Brazil, what city would you recommend and why?
bonus points for cities where we could rally some users for on-the-ground help. 🙏

Rio ♥
🫡
Also we can host a BJJ rolling party on those days around #Nostraires 🥋
Rio or São Paulo… because I want to go to both and have never been to either
São Paulo and Rio are really overrated- been living here for 2 years and nothing compares to the beauty, safety and calm of Floripa.

Buenos Aires definitely the best by miles
Florianopolis
- BJJ
- Beach (1000x better than Costa Rica)
- Surf (on par with CR)
- Small town Vibe (you’d make a big impact locally, and have a chance of starting a movement).
- it’s a SINGLE flight from 6 major cities (BA, SP, Rio, Montevideo, Asuncion and Santiago)
- perfect weather in the summer
- opposite weather to northern hemisphere
- inexpensive
- EXCELLENT food
- Can help organise (nostr:npub1gscnk7wlcvcruw7scjhwpjrja94gfu369fzkyje6kcc0yn6rqyhscqtpjp & nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m live there & can help organise)
- Nostripa is a cool name
- Have the domain Nostripa.com
- can run it after SatsConf in Nov2025
- if wanting sooner, can do it right after nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy's Bitcoin++ in Jan 2025
Plus Floripa is where everyone wants to visit, and what better opportunity to do so?
I remember nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m giving the Floripa rant (and another rant :) in CR. Sounds like a pretty cool place! 🤙
bjj top of list, great marketing 🫡
I will say that Buenos Aires is just-as-good-a-choice.
I’m just biased toward Floripa because of the beach and bc I’m here and can help get it set up
Only a 17-19 hour drive from me here in Asuncion 🙌🏼🫡 LFG
Visited Floripa in 2006. Wonderful place.
Relatively safe for Brasil terms. Warm in November. Relatively cheap prices. Moveable along the island. Brazilian Forró and Zouk classes and dances available. Good surf, friendly people
Why don't I move there?! Vou chegar mais uma vez, meu Brasil!
I want to visit Floripa! And stay a couple of weeks :)
Up for floripa. Campeche.
What is the sea water temperature at #Florionopolis ? Don;t want to wear neoprene when surfing....
nostr:npub17agje2sh6u9203uaeyd0h2qvth9nn2675pa34wgwtc7zkr7ugj7qv7v7xf may be worth talking to
São Paulo, then R38TÃO and nostr:npub17tvf04z759dsyecdtmk70tevla7vua9e3sr88lgnl7put97764zq708q0m can help organize and rally local activists.
Montevideo
WE SHOULD RIP ARGENTINA OR URUGUAY.
BRAZIL WILL PROBABLY TRY TO BAN NOSTR IN SIX MONTHS.
Argentina is the future
🤝
AGREE
🫡
Wait can Nostr be banned ? 🫢
he said try
Fair point. Ban Nostr how?
Via the apps maybe!
what's the bestlightning wallet to use with nostr... or in general? I use wallet of satoshi but I have to VPN out of usa because they don't work here. I got 90% of the way with my own lnd node but I don't know if I want to do that at the moment.
nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va if Brazil stops the insanity, look into Jericoacoara, where nostr:npub1m3tu3l6y59g2tmackq23v5vgn59u7hu66gxg8xajghz59tqm6xnqk2m888 is located. Circular economy in development since 2021. Many places to spend, and people on the ground. Hell, it's the home of the Bitcoinize POS machine being used for payments at all the conferences ❤️🔥
Montevideo, Uruguay is a great city. Nice conference facility right on the seashore in the middle of the city.
Bring it on. The world is going crazy. Let's get it over with and get back to enjoying ourselves. Fuck the fuckers
We’ve entered the Dawn of Chaos
Let them try…
Montevideo would be great.
Totally. I think that Javier Milei wouldn’t have problem to be in Argentina and spent ours sats
some where with good surf, I'd come.
Peru/Argentina/el salvador/ Nicaragua etc etc … brimming with good waves!
planning a trip to nicaragua this winter. 🤙 it'll be the second time I've been there.
There is an Aussie guy there called Dan he and his wife have the best set up in Popoyo - forget the nabe of it but you can’t miss it .. it’s opposite the general store a big white oasis!
Great food too 💜
Your sats are Welcome in Buenos Aires my Friends! Years after years fighting against devaluations makes Argentina a strong market for BTC since the begining.
I think that’s a reason to actually DO Brazil before that happens. And at least get Nostr activated here and into the wild before these fucking retard maniacs get more retarded
That’ll be fun.
Buenos Aires is the obvious choice
Buenos Aires, hands down. Lots of bitcoiners and nostriches around.
#nostr 
Queria que fosse no Brasil, mas aqui está se levantando uma ditadura, acredito que logo eles começam a perseguir a rede Nostr também, estão proibindo o povo de usar até Serviços de VPN com ameaças de multas diárias de mais de $8.000.
just the prospect of this fills me with excitement............
nostr:note1k86u2c8hkmp9kldy2seg3ag4x0upt2gsdsydrdnxujtyvarvpp8s6pfvzq
Is South America even safe?
Buenos Aires, great city. Or Mendoza, in the mountains 🏔️. Both in Argentina
Buenos Aires, no doubt. You can experiense first hand the foundation of the Milei empire.
plus, for a few sats, Buenos Aires offer the best steak of the world.
Don’t do Brazil!!
I can at least try to be helpful
No Colombia? It’s easier to get too than Uruguay, no shade on Uruguay it’s a great place but Colombia, to me, has more opportunities
Brazil would be ironic since they’re about to ban X across the country
I didn't know much about Uruguay before reading through all this. Punta del Este & Montevideo sound like a neat places 😅
Jose Ignacio, Uruguay
Costa Rica again?
Living in Santos, I would propose Sao Paulo as the place to try. Lots of developers (general) based in Sao Paulo. I recall Jimmy Song did a building Bitcoin course there once.
Why don't do it close to nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy 's BTC++ in Floripa, Brazil?
