 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 @david , 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.

On stage at Imagine IF, @Marty Bent and Dr. Andrew Hohns tackled a technical problem with a human response. “Whenever there is a problem in the world, what is needed is moral courage.” The problem for Hohns, is the broken credit system and a trust deficit between the institutions and financial leaders tasked to fix it. Bitcoin provides a technological escape valve, and the power of next generation credit tools. See the orange path laid out by Marty and Andrew:
