Nostr Web Client

Gm #Nostr ⚡️

Starting today, we're publishing the entire Orange Pill App Bitcoin Events database to the Nostr network using NIP-52 (Calendar Events).

Over the past 2 years, we've curated what we believe is the most comprehensive list of Bitcoin-only events worldwide: with 500+ meetups, conferences, and grassroots gatherings active on any given day.

These events are now available as kind: 31923 notes, formatted per NIP-52, and published to the open Nostr network. Anyone can index, mirror, or display them, no permission needed.

Let’s build the Orange Future together. 🧡

Awesome, I've heard great things about events on orange pill app and now I can build my own calendar view :)

I notice an issue with the events structure though. Its not mentioned in the NIP (for some reason) but commonly there are multiple "g" tags. one for each level of the geohash. that way its possible to lookup events by a wider area

For example a geohash of "dntp5s" would be 6 tags:

- ["g", "d"]

- ["g", "dn"]

- ["g", "dnt"]

- etc...

Its an annoying side effect of how relays index tags and events and I'm not sure why its not mentioned in the NIP

It’s not mentioned in NIP-52 because I didn’t think of it and there’s relatively few clients that support that functionality, but it looks like there’s some exciting momentum to be able to improve things!

yeah, like most NIPs it was just waiting for someone to put content out there to motivate developers to show it

What if we make relays just a bit smarter?

What could help, but I'm just a lowly client dev :)

Would love your take on this and whether I’m out in left field or onto something with this NIP-G0 proposal.

See my NIP-G0 proposal on github, meant to address this for events and news and geo-centric event kinds.
