The BitcoinVibecamp at Prospera ZEDE was nothing short of unbelievable. In 4 days we got nearly 20 people to deploy their first Bitcoin+Nostr application. Congratulations to everyone, and to

for best voted app! Thank you

Although I haven't been posting lately on Twitter Clones, I still use Nostr every day.

Normies: nostr is dead

: hold my beer

Ark, three different approaches

Do you like building nostr apps? Maybe you should join the vibecamp

Nostr is a place where everyone has their own app and we share memes

If you haven't tried

v2, do you even like nostr?

Haters gonna hate Builders gonna build

Adoption and awareness are a cornerstone of Bitcoin’s effectiveness as a freedom technology. Bitcoin cannot serve human rights defenders operating in hostile or restrictive environments if people do not understand how to use it safely, confidently, and independently. Tools like

lower the barrier to entry by transforming abstract concepts into lived experience. Education through interaction is often far more effective than documentation or theory, especially in environments where technical literacy, trust, or access may be limited.

The room was packed. Everyone was there for the Nostr talk, to hear from people who truly know what they're talking about:

,

, and many others.

But I was up first. The schedule was already running late.

So I walked onto the stage in the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world and did something nobody else had dared to do yet: I asked everyone to use Nostr. Live.

"Zap me," I said. "Your zap, your Nostr profile, and your message will appear live on the screen next to me."

Nostr can be a little shaky. This demo had every chance to fail.

And the best part?

It did.

My

wallet never received the payments. No zap came through. There I was, on stage, in front of a packed room at the biggest conference in the world, telling people to use Nostr... and it didn't work.

Honestly, it couldn't have been a better demonstration of how much work we still have to do.

Luckily, the room was full of Nostr believers. They didn't laugh at the failure. They understood exactly why it mattered.

AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE

I just beat the TEAM SOVEREIGN challenge on

and got 6,900 sats ⚡

PROBLEM Human rights defenders, journalists, NGOs, and activists in authoritarian environments cannot reliably receive donations. Banks freeze accounts, PayPal and GoFundMe remove campaigns, and donors fear retaliation. Bitcoin’s Lightning Network solves settlement—but most tools still require merchant infrastructure, custodians, or platforms that can be pressured to cut access.

SOLUTION

combines Nostr (permissionless identity + public posts) with Lightning zaps (instant, verifiable payments). A defender publishes a “paynote”—a Nostr note with payment rules—and anyone worldwide can donate via Lightning. Payments are recorded as public zap receipts on relays: transparent, verifiable, and impossible for a single company to erase. Donors can contribute anonymously. No signup wall is required to pay.
