San José, Costa Rica - March 28th 2023

by #[0]

After weeks of planning and days of running around, the #[1] unconference has ended, and I think everyone's perspective on the future and present of nostr has evolved.

Communication is one of the growth factors that continuously marks human evolution. Each time humans need to expand their reach, new ways of sharing messages emerge. And nostr is a clear example of that.

The need for a censorship-resistant protocol that gives us back control of our data and thoughts is now giving birth to a safe place where content creators can freely share their art without becoming some big corporation's product. A grassroots V4V approach became more apparent to me during Nostrica.

Understanding the ins and outs of this protocol seemed like an alien thought. Still, after listening to many brilliant players, I am very bullish on the individual value proposition each of us holds.

How lucky I was to meet so many of these bright characters. Therefore this special Nostr Report highlights the work of one of the content creators who give nostr real-life use cases.

Photographers📸 have a way of seeing the mundane turn into art, which is what #[2] did with this series of #Nostrica pictures. Now that calm has reached my corner, these pictures fill my heart with good nostalgia and a boost to create more spaces for others to meet and people like Nela to create art.

If you did not have the chance to be at Nostrica, let me tell you that the calmness and joy these pictures transmit were precisely what we all felt during those three days.

According to the publication, Marathon had bought the bonds at a reduced price—and made around $30 million within a few days thanks to its well-timed bet on the securities.”

Nostropical Hackathon Winners & Voting

The Nostropical hackathon took place on March 22 and March 23 on the two days following the Nostrica conference. It was organized as an autonomous satellite event by Hard Yaka, Universal Names, and Nos.Social. For two amazing days, participants gathered at the Awake Center in Uvita, Costa Rica and built a dozen projects aimed at forwarding our shared mission of building the nostr ecosystem.

We are grateful and inspired by all of the individuals and teams that participated and the projects that were born out of this shared time together.

We will be judging the projects as follows:

The 100,000,000 Satoshi prize is divided into three pools.

Judges Selection: 25,000,000 Satoshi

Community Voting: 25,000,000 Satoshi

Completed & Presented Project: 5,000,000 Satoshi

The community vote winner will be chosen by the same algorithm we use in nos.social to address spam and highlight relevant content. It’s a friends of friends algorithm. If you’re followed by somebody who is followed by somebody who participated in the hackathon then you can vote. No new followers after this post will be counted. To vote like the reply about the project following this post. It’s approval voting, vote for as many projects as you’d like, but we’ll only count one vote per project per npub. The voting ends at noon UTC Tuesday March 28th.

Watch the presentations here*: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/jSMd7W943vUqyx1iA8AZ45

* Not included in the video is the very secretive privacy focused Incognito project which is cool and fixed the problem of leaking metadata private messages on nostr.

The winning judges choice project is nostr torrent!

A Content Addressable Media NIP for sharing files on nostr.

The project proposed and implemented a system of content addressable networking using hashed content, plus the ability to support both CDN and web torrents for linking to and hosting rich media and files.

https://github.com/lovvtide/nostr-torrent

By #[0] of https://satellite.earth/ & #[1] of https://degenrocket.space/

The other projects open for voting are listed here as comments. You can vote for a project by liking it in the thread, and you can vote for as many as you want (but only once per project). If you vote for everyone, it's the same as voting for none. Only npubs within two hops of a hackathon participant will be eligible, in order to prevent gaming of the system. Votes will be read from the following relays:

wss://nos.lol

wss://relay.damus.io

wss://nostr-pub.wellorder.net

wss://relay.snort.social

Even though its still “March off Twitter”, it’s worth checking out “Skull of Satoshi” artist Von Wong’s thread on the response from the Bitcoin community to his artwork. He seems to have been dosed with a bit of the orange-pill and shared a rather thoughtful thread on Twitter about his experience, what he has learned since the piece went viral, and what he hopes for the future. 💀 We’re not aware of Von Wong 💀 having a Nostr account, so thank you to #[13] for sharing these screenshots.

Uvita, Costa Rica - #Nostrica Day 3 Recap

By

#[1]

If anyone has seen my voice, please tell it I am in San José, and I need it.

With that small cry for help, let's get this recap started. First, I apologize for being late with this report. I promise it will be super juicy!

Let me begin by sharing a bit of myself with all of you, as I said yesterday during NIPs IRL. I've always felt like no one wants to hear what I have to say, but #[2] , who is THE MOST AMAZING videographer I've ever met, opened my mind a lot last night with her words. Therefore, I am here to share.

I grew up in a small town called Liberia, in the northern part of Costa Rica. opportunities don’t reach those of us outside the Central Valley as easily. Being allowed to be opinionated is frowned upon. Therefore, I never imagined having the chance to impact so many lives.

I do not lie when I say I pinch myself daily to ensure this is real. Watching all of you Nostriches come to my home, enjoy it, pack it up with such good vibes, and being able to talk to all of you is a blessing.

Having someone approach me and thank me for my work is not normal. It's even less normal to have gorgeous supermodels like #[3] ask me for my picture for their memories.

And after my chat with Nela, I will try to look less scared when things like this happen and embrace them. Thank you all for giving me a safe space to be myself.

And that was my short but sweet romantic “about me” section..

I've been spending the last few days taking mental and physical notes on what you guys would love to hear. Yesterday was a lot, but to me, a big shout out goes to those fish tacos. They had such a delicious green tomato sauce, ufff... please send the recipe.

Yesterday started with a big punch. You would think that on the last day, everyone would be tired and ready to call it a day; but #[4] was our moderator, and he just opened our closing day with all the feel-good energy needed to have a blast.

Meanwhile, on the workshop stage, we had Richard and Lee from #[5] talk about this beautiful creation of theirs we all got to experience. Let this inspire all of us to orange pill, EVERYONE. Tell them even in the jungle, bitcoin is the answer.

The day went by, and out of the blue, helicopter rider and bitcoiner of the world #[6] came to Nostrica. He and #[7] rocked the stage with a talk about the importance of Bitcoin and Nostr to keep citizens free and protected from CBDCs.

After that, lunch came, and for the first time ever, this girl was on a panel at a conference. NIPs IRL, an all women-powered discussion that covered several topics, from the importance of having a safe space to speak our minds as women, confidence, and even onboarding new content creators by telling them how easy it is to get value for value.

Everyone I had the opportunity to share that stage with, and all the questions we received from the audience, got me thinking of what else we can do and what is next to empower each other more. Thanks, #[8] , #[9] , #[10] , #[11] , #[12] , and #[13] . You are an inspiration and joy to be with.

#[14] , #[15] , #[16] , and #[17] did an audience Q&A and retrospective to close the day. A nice moment to come up with plans for Nostr and get to know each other even more. And after a tiny short break, NVK, McShane, Mads, Elidy, #[18] (remotely), and I had the honor of joining Jack on stage and doing a conference recap.

We were so happy to thank you all for your participation and to hear your suggestions for upcoming Nostrica's (maybe Nostril???) The following location is TBD. But inviting all of you to hold your own Nostr meet-ups and conferences. We appreciate your suggestions and will discuss all the notes and other stuff you gave us!

Again, thank you to everyone who made this possible. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to all the other organizers, Jack, the volunteers, and all the attendees (onsite and online)! As I said, we are all OGs it is our mission to bring more people on board and secure our freedom!

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to #[0] for doing such an amazing job keeping us all updated with her reports and photos throughout #Nostrica. Below are links to her daily Nostrica recaps, in case you missed them or want to read them again.

If you appreciated her work, please visit #[2] profile and send her a zap. We will be doing the same to say thank you! We also highly recommend making her one of your “targets” during today’s #zapathon!
