Nostr Web Client

Derek Ross 2y ago

My fellow Nostriches,

I was invited to speak at the Baltic Honeybadger conference in Latvia September 2 - 3, 2023. Plane tickets alone are about 1600 USD. I do not have those kinds of funds in my budget to go as I've already allocated funds for other events later this year. However, I feel that it would be an amazing opportunity for me to attend and speak about Nostr, speak about all of the great things that we've built, and accomplished together. You all know how bullish and passionate I am about Nostr. Anyways, I wanted to try something different and see if it's successful. I would like to crowdfund my travel expenses with Zaps. If the community wants me to attend and talk about Nostr, then Zaps will lead the way. I love you all and thank you for your support.

It would be a shame if Derek could not attend this conference.

Please, contribute if/what you can.

Weird to be a speaker at a conference and not at least get costs covered.

Where is the Value 4 Value?

Is the conference free?

Agree that if an invitation is extended it’s customary to pay attendance costs.

Not in this case, I guess.

If I pay to go to a concert I would expect the bands to have the costs covered 😂

Derek Ross 2y ago

They will pay hotel accommodations, just not travel.

Thanks for the clarification

Zapped! Sounds like a fantastic opportunity and you’re a great speaker.

This is not a donation, this is an investment in spreading #Bitcoin #Nostr 🤷🏻

If you personally cannot be out in the real world educating others and spreading the word about Nostr and Bitcoin, the next best thing is sending an ace nostrich who can do so in your place.

Which airline accepts sats over lightning? 😲😲😲

Derek Ross 2y ago

I don't think any. I can buy a Visa card with Bitrefill or The Bitcoin Company and use that card to pay for the ticket.

It's a big ask. I struggled writing this post the last few days. 🫤

Gfy. Honeynostrich don’t give a fuck, you’re going to Baltic you son of a bitch

Derek Ross 2y ago

The Daniel 🖖 2y ago

For everything you’ve contributed to Nostr I see this as a no-brainer, and there should probably be some sponsorship fund made available for this sort of thing.

Derek Ross 2y ago

Thank you. It would be nice to use this example as a future platform for future Nostriches for other conferences 🫂

If you don't end up going where are you donating the sats?

BITKARROT 2y ago

TRAVEL HACKING is your friend.

This is a bit tight in terms of timelines, but I thought it would be worth mentioning for future business or pleasure travel.

Now if there were only a market for swapping sats with travel points to get that long haul international biz class tix for only a few hundred bucks that'd be totally dope..... anybody? Product idea :)

J'aurais tellement aimé participer aux zappes dans ce type de certaines situations en termes de solidarité mais mon portefeuille est géré par mon bien-aimé plus qu' accro au Bitcoin et doué à la créativité technologique dans votre communauté. M'est avis qu'il sera participant actif à la lecture de votre message . 🍀
