TLDR;
Love yβall β€οΈ Great to meet IRL I help where I can, give more than u receive, expect nothing. Til we meet again π
ππ»π₯π Beyond grateful for the experience with my fellow #Nostr & #Bitcoin Plebs in Miami π the past week. I wasnβt suppose to attend, but many sponsored me to join last minute; saying it wouldnβt be the same without me.
The nightly π parties became my personal highlight, as it was a perfect place for all to end up at after other places & bars closed. I just showed up and helped where I could, that is all. Thank you to everyone who stayed until π dawn & made the beach cleaner than we found it π
Thank @yegorpetrov @rockstar @mads @roya & others for hosting & such a blessing to meet IRL @sersleepy @sai @derekross @jb55 @island & so many others (missing more npubs who attended than I can count)
Iβm quiet online; Iβm in the #NostrNests when I can be, but Iβm at many confβs and events so if & when you meet me in person Iβll be very thankful & blessed by your presence ππ»
Make it a point to meet each other IRL on the physical plane; the human connection via spirit with each other is above all other things, especially this material world.
Always Give more than you receive, expecting nothing.
Keep Treasures in Heaven not here on earth. βπΌUntil our paths cross as time progresses π
Β‘Pura Vida!
PS
My π€π» is fine just part of life π₯°
*will add many npubs in quoted note to this π
Still traveling and writing my thank you msg to all you Nostriches in Miami ππ
Such joy to be with all you Nostriches thank you for your Peaceful & Loving presence ππ₯°
Recently, @npub12s5jvjpmulyx3csf87rszp3udjkcnvgh40trv3ywlu737sq4xj9q07t6jr held a number of interviews to connect @npub1lmn3z6en8fjge8dluypcfeh6l8ja4qdwa7kg23p4anw8gnnewdcs0ysc9n community members with #Bitcoin #FOSS projects.
There were a number of insights that are inspiring a new BPC project π₯
___
The tl;dr
- FOSS projects and contributors have difficulty match making
- We interviewed both sides to this hypothesis β¬οΈ
- We worked to find the βspecial sauceβ
- Next step is to create an MVP for Bitcoin FOSS + contributor match making
___
The problem?
In our experience, weβve found that #Bitcoin ers want to contribute to the ecosystem, but donβt know how.
And FOSS projects need help, but often donβt know where to find high quality contributors.

___
We set out to learn what both sides are looking for.
For FOSS projects, they typically want someone to commit 2-6 hours a week to contributing.
And, the main areas which needed assistance are marketing, translations, and project & product management.
___
When interviewing members of our community, we saw that most people wanted to commit 5 hours a week. Roughly an hour a day before, or after, their day job.
Most members came from a project management background, but some product-focused and marketing professionals were interviewed as well.
___
Likely the biggest insight when interviewing community members was their motivation to contribute.
We saw an even split between three categories (value alignment, impact, and career), and people also had multiple reasons for wanting to contribute.

___
During this interview process, we struck up some connections between the Bitcoin Product Community members and #Bitcoin FOSS projects.

- @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl - PM
- BDK - Marketing
- BDK - PM
- Hello Bitcoin - PM
- Hello Bitcoin - Educator
- Accessibility - PM
- Bitcoin Optech - Maintainer
- Two other connections by being part of BPC
Weβre super stoked to see more people getting an opportunity to contribute to the broader ecosystem π
___
Our next step is to build out an MVP that connects builders to open-source projects in the #Bitcoin ecosystem.
Weβll be building out a FOSS opportunity board in our GitHub repo, where projects can post what areas they need support with.
Follow the repo for updates: https://github.com/Bitcoin-Product-Community
___
Weβre excited to get this out to the community π
And if youβre interested in contributing to #Bitcoin, but donβt know where to startβ¦
