Happy Splatterday!
Starting this one late with an intense single-farm Colombian coffee in a kotoisa (cosy) Finnish café. Love the journeying, ✈️
Love the brew. ☕️ #coffeechain
So true.
Nostr lets us reclaim our creativity by offering an alternative to centralized social media, where we waste our creative energy feeding the algos.
GM nostr! Big day for me, I'm taking a language test to decide whether I can get Finnish citizenship.

Global adoption and free speech are fundamental principles. While it’s natural to disagree and engage in intellectual debates over ideas and direction, resorting to hostility is unproductive and reminiscent of schoolyard behavior. If all we seek is a "box of screams", we might as well return to centralized systems.
Finally leaving this amazing city…over the past week, have met so many awesome #nostriches, and deep dived into this rapidly growing #nostr ecosystem.
All. Very. New.
The energy at #nostriga was electric—so many ideas + discussions on how to keep pushing the boundaries of decentralized comms with notes, and other stuff. ⚡️
Massive thanks to nostr:npub1nvfgglea9zlcs58tcqlc6j26rt50ngkgdk7699wfq4txrx37aqcsz4e7zd for nudging me to present at noobday, to nostr:npub14a234n82fqsqp0wvkd9a83fp2k8p7dfhww3u4mvr59rey8pkn6sswh0dfz and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and their teams for making these events possible, to @nas for the awesome artwork that surrounded us all week, and to nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 for my favourite talk that inspired me to get started buidling in this space.💜
Ready to return home, find other #nostr creatives, and leverage/share ai toolkits, to bring more creative content to the space. It’s a new world. How super exciting is it, to be a part of this so early?!

The ‘open’ vs ‘closed’ AI war is playing out in the AI space in parallel to this one. Plenty of open source AI tools and experiments happening that we can leverage to buidl out #nostr. Onwards.
Not your keys, not your…?
Lost + found in Riga.

Last day of exploring Riga for this nostrich.
I’ve got a question for folks here. The definition of unconference I’ve used for a couple decades before getting involved in nostr is something similar to what we see the Wikipedia page.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference
When people arrive at the event they propose sessions and put them on post it notes and then there are many many rooms where discussions happen. There’s no schedule ahead of time, stage, presentations, or big screens. Sometimes there’s a mic and speaker that’s passed around if the groups get too large for every to hear.
It’s something similar but much better organized than what we did the second day at Nostriga in the DIY space.
To me there are things these open space style unconferences are good at, discussions, connections, networking, hashing out issues as a community, forming working groups on specific topics. They’re not great at informing where one person is trying to communicate a topic or project. A talk on a stage can do a better job of that.
I was expecting something more conversational where many people might have come to the event with topics of sessions they’d like to do, but there was no fixed schedule ahead of time.
I’ve heard many people say nostr* is an unconference. So clearly this word has the meaning of an event like nostr* events. But from the communities I’m coming from what we’ve been having in Nostr are conferences with talks, panels, and workshops. And a bit of open spaces discussions.
So my question is what is a conference if Nostriga was an unconference, what’s a conference? How is it different and what makes the one a conference and the other an unconference.
To me, I’d like us to have closer to 50/50 time and space between speakers on stages conference and group discussions unconference. I get a lot out of the talks and panels and enjoy doing them.
So. What’s a conference is Nostriga was an unconference?
Leveraging the strengths of both expert-led presentations and DIY-style unconference spaces would prolly be the best of both worlds.
At our Bitcoin meetups, we have a specialist talk followed by 'lightning talks' (soapboxes) where anyone can speak impromptu on a Bitcoin-adjacent topic for five minutes, followed by a Q&A session, which allows those who might not usually have a platform, to share their ideas. This opportunity encourages discussion and networking, which is good for community building. I’d love to see both formats at the next nostr - an un/conference.
One glorious day, nostr:nprofile1qqszw0ncsrfc6wd8lv3cal8cj4apkke8aqv3y75ys05h2st2p2g035spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ukzcnvv5hx7un89uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0psxmsq will buy this Spacemonkey, paint it orange and make a Spacecat or a SpaceHoneybadger!
