It looks like you need to receive a verification before you give one out. #[4] and #[5] are "progenitors" who can give out infinite verifications. Did you happen to meet either of them at Nostrica? (Is there a full list of progenitors somewhere?)

😂😂😭 the bar is so low folks. Let's build.

"Twitter identified 4 different user groups to track & compare how often their tweets are being impressed to users:

◆ Power users

◆ Democrat users

◆ Republican users

◆ @elonmusk"

So I misunderstood a little how notabot.net verification works. I don't need to find 5 people that I exchange verifications with. The idea is to find 10 people - 5 that I verify and 5 others that verify me. It's a tall order which is why Jason calls it "social proof of work". I'm very interested in where this goes though because it's the first verification service I've seen on Nostr using *trust* not money.

So if we met at #nostrica and you have a verification to give, I am still looking for three more!

We haven't talked about gif support yet but will definitely take a look when it's time!

I didn’t get it when they announced it on stage last year. But I’ve found myself using it during coding pomodoros to focus on just a handful of screens. I can’t really code in full screen or split screen because I’m usually switching between IDE, browser, Figma, and command line, so stage manager helps at that scale of 3-5 apps.

I’ve unlocked another notabot.net verification slot to give. Looking for someone I met at Nostrica who would like to get verified! The website now fully supports signing extensions so no need to trust it with your private key!

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.

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

wss://relay.nostr.band

Less than 24 hours to vote for the #nostropical hackathon winners! You do not have to have attended the hackathon to vote. Just browse the replies to this message and like the ones you think should win the prize of 25 million sats! Some very cool stuff in there. #[0]

I can’t find the Nostore author on Nostr. Does anyone know their npub? https://github.com/ursuscamp/nostore

Idk, but someone at Nostrica though it was associated with https://nos.social, which it isn’t. I’ve been using nos.lol and e.nos.lol and never made the association until they said it 🤦‍♂️

Actually I think #[3]​ recommended e.nos.lol at one point because it was aggregating events from other relays or something. Do you know, Andrew?

Just touched down at home in Indianapolis. #nostrica was everything I wanted and then some. Thank you to everyone I met and everyone who made it possible. I’m excited for a few days of rest and then getting back to building a healthier social network for all of humanity with you all. Pura vida 🤙🏻
