Well, I would crowdsource volunteers to handle specific tasks. That's how the convention I work with does it, abd it's rather effective. (granted, yes also a registered educational non-profit, so there's a lot of legal and accounting stuff to worry about, but not needing that makes it much simpler since you'd just be throwing a big party.)

Oh, I certainly didn't mean to imply that you don't care, but you can leave details to delegates that you trust. For example, I could easily handle coordinating documentation, but you would absolutely NOT want me in charge of decorating decisions. Finding people who can work to their strengths is a sign of a good leader.

Hiring an event planner sure is the easy button... LOL!

Honestly, it would depend on the cost. 5 years is pretty much on my timeline for acquiring my 5+ wooded acres. I might be very land-broke (no house yet to be house-broke! LOL), and therefore not able to spend the coin to attend. Would I like to? Yes.

You would be much too busy to spend your time with a wallflower like myself, but as long as there was a comfy couch or something like a comfy overstuffed arm chair to lounge on, I'd be perfectly amenable to chatting with whomever. I. Will. Not. Dance. (Seriously.)

I'm not *that* bad a gatherings. In fact, it's fun as long as I don't have to do it for many days in a row. I used to be in charge of departments at the convention that dealt directly with 100s of attendees daily for 3 days in a row. I do that well, but after, I would rather not talk to anyone for a week. LOL! So, you don't need to worry about me. I'd be more concerned with actively avoiding cameras.

A quiet room is still a good thing to have. There are several set up around the convention hall. They are pleasant if one needs a break from the press of a crowd, but, for my sake, not necessary, though, it embarrasses me to think that you'd take that into account when planning.

5 years seems like a long time, but, depending on scale, that's good, or, just enough time. Who knows what the world will like like then, but, it us good to hold hope for a better future while working towards it.

How big do you envision a thing like this? If it's big, then it's best to start now while the hype of the 15th anniversary is still buzzing.

My goodness, having it be a big event that starts on publishing day and ends on the 5th of November with a Guy Fawkes masquerade ball would be pretty effing sweet!

And I'm going to have sushi later 😂 Good morning 🌄

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🤙🏻🫂

Happy Halloween 🎃👻

Happy birthday #Bitcoin whitepaper!

Happy #Nostrasia starts in 12 hours!

SimpleX is based around queues. Instead of pushing everything to a relay and have it stay there forever, you push messages into a queue that eventually gets consumed by the person you’re sending the messages to. They exist on the relay temporarily and they are encrypted. Cool part is that there are no long-term “addresses” or “pubkeys” to send the message to, so spam is much harder.

I think nostr could learn a lot from this protocol, I believe we can use something like this to strengthen use cases on the nostr side. I am building a SimpleX rust library to learn the protocol further, and will be looking into how we can leverage it in our apps.

And also, 5 years is a lot of time to plan!

Winter in Switzerland.

Once you get over a dozen people, it's not much harder to plan for up to a few thousand as long as the place abd budget allow for it. I have some experience with conventions that run from 30-45k people, and that's a lot more work.

Basically, you care a LOT if you know everyone. You CAN'T care quite as much if you don't know everyone, and then if you can't handle the planning on your own, delegation to trusted people lowers the burden further.

You're the only one I know who could pull that off. Make it so? Maybe for the 20th? (Yeah, I know that's a lot of work.)

A fancy bitcoin ball suits you, Duchess! I could totally see you putting together a fancy dress event like that! LOL

Happy birthday #bitcoin.

Gn! 🌒⚡️🤙
