Building websites and shops on Nostr. I have seen some shops on nostr. I think it is called shopstr. But the shops need to be different if you are helping people by providing online training. Imagine you are a digital coach and trainer like me. You want to: - build a following of people who don’t know you - then let them raise their hands and tast a little bit of your product and service (often raise your hands mean they subscribe by providing their name and email) - then you give them a taste of your services (often by sending only the people who subscribed the invitation to the webinar) - you hold a 45 minute webinar - in that webinar you paste a link to your sales page (often outside the webinar software , like a wordpress site) - when they land on that sales page they can pay (in wordpress it is done by plugins as woocommerce). This payment often goes through a payment provider (they process credit cards so you can receive money that goes to your bank account) - after payment your customers get in a private space where they see your videos of your course or program (this is often videos you have unlisted on youtube and share with them). This is the general flow. To get 50 new customers at 1% conversion you need to engage with 5000 new people at the top of your funnel. This system is used by many coaches, trainers and digital content creators. Nostr should be able to do this. We need a way to let people “raise their hands” for a specific content. The content creator - I - need a way to have the dms of all these people who raised their hands for my content. Say if I say AI and Automation is my content I need a way to simply dm all those people, say 5000 people on nostr that are interested in #aiandautomation. So on top of this primal user interface or maybe through python I need to create code that can dm all these people who maybe liked my content, I posted, specifically on this topic. Is that already available? Then I need a way to stream my content with OBS or Ecamm software (I use Ecamm) easily to my Nostr page. I have used Zapstream in the past. But I see I have to keep paying for zapstream to keep my videos up. What if I host my videos myself? How can I ensure my videos stay visible on Nostr? There needs to be a way so I can pull up a server that is up constantly. Next I have the webinars. I should be able to invite all those 5000 people who raised their hands a dm. I don’t need their emails. They only thing I need is sending them some content so they show up. They need to be able to unsubscribe from my content. So Nostr needs a way to send mass content to a list of people. It needs to directly end up in their dms. Is this already available? Then there is a private page on Nostr where I can hold my webinar. Only the people who got invited, because they raised their hands and were subscribed need to see that page. I don’t want to stream to a general page. So the url needs to be hidden. In that webinar on Nostr I would deliver my content about the program. All people clicking on that link to my sales page need to go to a sales page on nostr where they can buy my program. They should be able to zap say 997 usd and get access to the program. If they cannot zap they should be bale to pay with lightning wallets. After payment they get inside a secret room where they see my course say 6 modules during 6 weeks. Each module has more videos. This is private content. Hosted on nostr. During those 6 weeks we have coaching and training calls. There I can share my screen and people can talk. Something like Hivetalk (opensource) but on Nostr. The videos need to be recorded and available for the customers. THIS is a flow that will add value to digital content creators like me. This will be powerful and let us create outside the Youtube, Linkedin, Facebook social media channels. How do you start creating this? How do you build this on Nostr? Should I create NIPS for each feature? Should I design the protocol first? Should I start coding a new client on Nostr in Python, javascript, html and css and nodejs on nostr? Let me know your thoughts. Runy Island Wealth
How can we offer our products and services on Nostr? Instead of promoting on Youtube I would like to build a community on Nostr. Bout on Youtube you can create ads and more people see your content! How can you promote your content on Nostr. Runy Island Wealth
The economics of oil say that it is going to take a lot of time to put Venezuela’s oil on the market. Curaçao has a refinery that needs 0.5 -1 billion usd of investments to upgrade. After watching this episode I tend to conclude that: - the business case of oil refinery on Curaçao is not going to be positive. - oil storage from Venezuela probably is not something feasible as the oil will not be soon drilled in Venezuela. What else can we do with the huge polluted terrain on Curaçao? Is it feasible to put solar power and batteries and mine Bitcoin there? The solar irradiation on Curaçao is high. Has anybody done the math regarding to minimg on solar power on different locations in the world? Is that business case more feasible than refining heavy crude oil on Curaçao? Let me know your thoughts below. Runy Island Wealth
Today we show the Bitcoinize machine and all the ways to accept lightning payments during lesson 8 of the My First Bitcoin on Curacao at the BTC Curacao Institute at Eden Mall.

Proof of Work can be simple. Just move some stones from the red dot to a green dot on a piece of paper. This is what we did in Lesson 6 of the My First Bitcoin certificate. #Proof of Work. BTC Curaçao Institute
Attack at Dawn Byzantine Generals #ProofOfWork #MiPrimerBitcoin #MyFirstBitcoin #Lesson6
The Byzantine Generals dillema I did not understand it, until I had to do it. With my students of the My First Bitcoin we did an exercise of attacking a Castle last Saturday. We attached and we failed. Because there were "traitors". Messages were passed to NOT attack, while, I, the King of Kura Piedra (this is Stone Fence) have said we should attack together at dawn. I created this exercise for Lesson 6 of the My First Bitcoin certificate. I consulted with my mentor Huxley and with my AI, Ava. Here you will see the whole script and the whole activity, that you can play with your family and with your children. 📝.docx Because My First Bitcoin is open source. We try to share our knowledge amongst all the educational nodes in the world. So BTC Curacao Institute, the Peter Kroll family, sponsors this event in our beautiful Orange House at Eden Mall. And then, we added Proof of Work. Simply moving 3 stones from a red dot to a green dot. Putting the messages on the ledger so everybody can see them. And the longest chain wins. So we all attacked. Successfully. No trust. No cheating. Consensus. From the rules and the Proof of Work, consensus is born. Now I understood it. Try it yourself. With your family. image Attack at Dawn Runy Calmera BTC Curacao Institute #MyFirstBitcoin #MiPrimerBitcoin @My First Bitcoin @Huxley @Arnold Hubach
Students bidding an a car during lesson 5 of the My First Bitcoin Certificate. They experienced the Cantillon effect: what happens with the price and the money when you give one student 2000 USD in fake money while allother students have only USD 15 to bid on an object. Runy My First Bitcoin
You are now a Cypherpunk I said to one of my students during the lesson 5 of My First Bitcoin certificate. Welcome. If you could code you would now start creating sound money, Bitcoin. He was critical. He was maybe even furious!! He said this is a scam! All emotions. I die not expect this when I prepared the lesson! It was about the problems that Bitcoin solves. By lesson 5 this student learned: - that the USA created 4 trillion USD in kust 1-2 years. 40% more fiat currency - he saw the M2 money supy go steep upwards - he saw how many fiat money is created and the debt as percenatage of income of countries like USA, Japan, UK, Singapore. - the ranking of the most indepted countries in the world And he saw the website of WTF happened in 1971. The question: what is money pondered in his mind. What is hard money? What is cbdc? Are you saying they can link cbdc to my travel? To my social score? Is that why you showed me to use keet.io the peer to peer chat? nostr? But, but? A new Cypherpunk was born. If he could code he would have put all that energy, all that new insight into coding decentralized money. I realized that by lesson 5 of the My First Bitcoin, you can not unsee what you have seen!! He saw that just by adding some monopoly money to my friends - I played the Kura Piedra Bank again - and gave some extra 2000 USD fake money to my friend to show the Cantillion effect, while all other students had only 15 USD, that the bid of the Porsche went to straight 500 USD! Nobody could outbit my friend! My friemd was just one of the students. This exercise showed them, and the new Cypherpunk, that suddenly, the value of the fiat money you have is decreased when there is more fiat money created. This exercise of the My First Bitcoin program show exactly how it works. Thanla to Family Peter Kroll of the BTC Curaçao Institute for sponsoring this program. @myfirstbitcoin @miprimerbitcoin #ProofofWoek @Arnold Hubach @Huxley
