Good morning Berlin, slowly recovering here. Not sure what kind of virus I got… but I wanted to share a this with you all here.
The last two months have been really busy.
I’ve been working with a few amazing people to put together a Nostr booth for THREE back-to-back conferences in LatAm.
What started as a simple “let’s do a booth and a few panels” has turned into something way bigger than I expected: full Nostr days packed with workshops, onboarding, dev sessions, merch, local events, content creation, and so much more. 😅
I won’t lie, it’s been a lot, and I’m still figuring things out… but I’m working hard to get there.
The support from the community has meant so much to me, and I’m deeply grateful, especially as I’m still new here and have a lot to learn. Some incredible people have already gotten behind the initiative, and I hope they can speak to the effort happening behind the scenes. 🙏 It also means the world when people share and talk about this, as it helps build awareness and keep the momentum going.
Massive thanks to the organizers too—we’ve scored amazing booth spaces and seriously, after seeing how much booths usually cost, their generosity is next level!
The local communities have been incredibly supportive, helping me organize dedicated Nostr Days after each conference. They’re always eager to listen to my questions and brainstorm solutions whenever I come to them with a new idea. We’ve secured some amazing venues in each city, including the Community Center at La Crypta and the iconic Bitcoin Mansion at Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador.
Here's what’s being planned for each Nostr Day, in each city:
➡️Nostr 101 Workshop (Morning): Introduction to Nostr and its key concepts
➡️Technical Workshop (After lunch): A deeper dive into the technology
➡️Onboarding Workshop (Afternoon): Hands-on sessions with Nostr apps
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what people might like to see or experience, or any ideas on what we could showcase. Your feedback will help shape these events!
And let’s not forget the amazing podcasters who have trusted me and invited me onto their shows.
That being said, we could still use some extra hands, voices, and support. This has been organized on a tight budget, with everything being offered at cost, but there are still expenses that need to be covered.
We’ve come such a long way, with so much work already put in. Any help—whether it’s sharing this or contributing, even just a small amount—will go a long way towards making these events as meaningful as possible. 💜
Even if it’s $1, or $21 or $100. Every Sat will go towards making these events as impactful as possible. 💜

Also I’m putting every Sat I receive on Nostr towards this!
Thanks to everyone who’s been with me on this journey so far, and helped out.
It means the world!
Well done
Well by this logic, it means we’re likely to have the opposite (ie; worst) October in history
If we're going to change the way music is streamed, discovered, and paid for, we're going to need a lot more ideas being tested out in the wild. To encourage this, we want to evenly share rewards with the builders of these ideas. https://zine.wavlake.com/rewarding-builders/ 
Are you guys coming to latam ?
Would love to get you involved in the Nostr Days and all the workshops.
You can establish the city on Satlantis, as an ambassador. DM and nostr:npub1693220pmp0a4c04a0p7hkz874vsxkyfrvtk2yk4zjyj3e4c0ugjs3r4j0c will help
Just after Lugano, there is a grassroots movement, a non-conference with a Bitcoin-only approach in London.
It is a multi-venue approach across five days with only one event being ticket-gated - THE BITCOIN WHITEPAPER / HOLLOWEEN PARTY
October 29th - November 2nd
On the November 2nd there is NOSTRLDN meetup featuring NOSTR projects - join us to push NOSTR to a new level in the UK

When Geyser contribution ser ?
🫶🏼
Satlantis 1.0 is coming along.
Bloody thing turned out 10x larger and harder to build than we anticipated.
I’m looking forward to seeing how broken the first version is when it goes live in November, so we can get in there and fix things, on the fly, in the trenches. 
This is the way

I guess it will depends on the dates.

My problem with geyser:

Can I just support the nostr booth by zapping nostr:nprofile1qqst32wlsgvqsnjfpkygxs4f6jyt0nc0kg935xdevwlv668dd26uh0gprfmhxue69uhkummnw3e8qatz9euk2emgwfhjuumfw3jsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumrpwaskcmr9wshxzusncjj8x or some nostr-native way?
I don't know how the crowd-sourcing stuff works on nostr but should have a way to do this here.

Hmm. Damn.
I guess you could just zap Tanja, and she can then allocate it. Go hard!!
I’m really happy to see this coming together and the community get behind it.
Derek & nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s with the support of myself & nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr put in a huge effort to get the first “Nostr Booth” done nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r earlier this year and it was a huge success.
This is chapter 2, and it’s an entire initiative involving:
- 3 conferences in 3 cities over 3 weeks
- 3 full “Nostr days” on the day after each event
- Getting the actual organisers onto Nostr, and have them use it to post updates & activity + encouraging attendees to get on to stay up to date.
- A bunch of cool merch
- Loads of material for nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz's new Nostr Film
This is going to be absolutely EPIC, and if you’re reading this, please support. This is a community initiative, which many have contributing to so far, but AFAIK, it’s only 40% of the way there.
I’ve put up personally, and also from nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 considering it’s a Nostr business.

nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs - this is what I DM’s you about. Your support would go a long way. Look into it when you have 5min
Thats a bit too fast for me. First nostr:npub1h5ewqujs336m0kdez46l03jttnaqp3yrvf7evertw0ec52q3qulq4kcdg7 next week and then I heading East (Asia) but when there are interesting events in 2025 I can see where to go. Only when it’s related to #Nostr ✍️🙏
The guys have done an awesome job setting up nostr:npub1h5ewqujs336m0kdez46l03jttnaqp3yrvf7evertw0ec52q3qulq4kcdg7
Reach out to Tanja and Derek. I’m sure one of them would love to help. This is not my think. I’m too busy with nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 - we just contributed.

Come to these!
There are THREE happening back to back
We will have two big conferences in Brazil in November : satsconf (which is bitcoin only, so I’m not sure they’d accept a Nostr booth), and bitconf, which is broader.
nostr:npub1pumdyz7qfu0suamv4nrl0vcg574dtl5mwazva6nyjxhpwc4ccxxqca3ane nostr:npub13u20998frqs538lqf4kvhfrq9t69mk9e3aczfxc9pljze290yr4q86gkaz what do you think about a Nostr booth in satsconf?
I don’t think the organizers of bitconf are here, but I’ll forward that to them, see if they are interested.
That’s part of THIS initiative.
There is a booth at SatsConf.
So help the project get some donations, in order to make it happen. I’ve personally contributed $500
Let’s get this going!
True. There’s only one way through hell though - and that’s the keep going.
Nostr UX sucks in comparison to what else is out there. I’m certain nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 1.0 will also suck. But that’s the only way, with limited resources, that we’ll get anywhere. Gotta keep building, iterating, refining.
That being said, I 100% agree that nowhere near enough focus is placed on the user. Right now, it’s all on development. Which may be warranted. I just wonder when the shift begins to happen…
