NEXT WEEK [2/2] Nostr Nights #1 RSVP Link: This is the first of many quarterly meetups focused building, growing, and exploring decentralized social technology. Each session features conversations with people building real projects on Nostr, hands-on onboarding for newcomers, educational deep dives into how the protocol works, and open discussions about emerging tools, use cases, and best practices. It's an opportunity to ask questions, share what you're working on, and collaborate with others pushing the ecosystem forward. This month we're excited to welcome two special guests: @jb55 , founder of @Damus , a popular, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social network client built on Nostr. Casarin is a key figure in the Bitcoin and Lightning Network community, and co-authored NIP-57 to enable Bitcoin Zaps (tips) directly within the Nostr ecosystem. We'll also be joined by @npub1u5nj...ldq3 , founder of @nosfabrica , who is building open-source, scalable Web of Trust engines that turn raw network activity into clear, reliable signals. Thank you to @Derek Ross @OpenMike @Shawn @Soapbox @tunestr for making it happen.

Bitcoin provides a technological escape valve, and the power of next generation credit tools. See the orange path laid out by Marty and Andrew:
