Alright, welcome to our... what hour is this, Tenno? I believe this is like the 10th hour?
Yes. I don't know regardless of the hour that you're gonna say, but yes. Probably?
Yeah, it is the 10th hour. Welcome to the 10th hour of the 24 hour Frog Talk.
Aren't you tired?
Us?
You want to sleep now? Yeah.
No! No, no, not yet.
There's no way.
I'm not gonna sleep. Have I ever slept?
How's it going, CGI Ben?
Yeah, pretty fine. Thanks for having me. It's pretty good, the things you do in there.
And yeah, I hope you could have some sleep at some point.
I hope so too, man. I appreciate you for caring.
Oh man. Yeah, and thank you for being here. I really appreciate you taking the time and hanging out with us.
We love what you're doing, man. I actually... you were recommended by a good friend of ours who says that you've been doing a great and amazing job at onboarding a lot of our French friends here on Nostre.
And he took notice and I did as well. Once he sent me your profile, I took a look and you've been killing it, man. We really, really, really appreciate you.
We need more diversity here on Nostre in terms of like the content, the people, everything.
And we appreciate when people take it into their hands, the role of being a guide per se and helping guide the way for simple plebs.
Just wanting to hop on here on a censorship resistant protocol that's completely decentralized and have a fun time while doing it as well. So thank you.
Yeah, I think you summarized well. It's cool to have Satoshi Tiko here because I think he's coming from the Spanish community.
And yeah, for me, it's very important to bring people on Nostre because I think the paradigm on Nostre is pretty much different than what we could see on protocol and other systems like Twitter or something else.
And yeah, for onboarding people, we still have a Telegram group. So for the French people, it's easy because on Nostre, if you don't know how to handle your private key and share your profile, you will have some trouble or you will just be in the global feeds and you it's only spam and everything else.
So it will be very difficult and you will left. So I just started the group like two weeks ago, I think, and we already have 70 public keys around and to help people to find each other.
I was waiting for the list, NIP 51, I think, but I decided to go with the badge because it's kind of fun to see not all the clients show the badge right now, but they have a pretty easy function that it's to be able to follow everyone who have badges.
So I decided to go this and I think it helped on the onboarding and to connecting people. And we decided to go with the hashtag too. So it's hashtag NostreFR and it's mostly to help people to find French content.
And mostly because I think we need community to come around. And one of my next step would be to create a relay, kind of private relay where only French people could write to, but everyone could read.
It's just an idea, but yeah, something like that. And if I can ask to Satoshi Tiko, because I think every community is different, like French people or Spanish people, and even in Costa Rica, do you have difficulties to bring people in and to onboard some new people on Nostre?
Yeah, hi everybody. Thank you for inviting me to the Frog Talk Marathon. I'm honored to be here and to represent, as you mentioned, the Spanish speaking community and Costa Rica in specific.
Well, I mean, we had an advantage that many countries or many audiences or many communities having got before, you know, because we had the first big Nostre conference, on conference, here about a month ago, we got the Nostrica in Costa Rica.
And we got this huge opportunity to get people aware of the protocol and the goodness we have on it, you know.
And most importantly, we had the opportunity to, you know, exchange firsthand, you know, with all the visitors, all the tourists, and all the Nostriges that came over here, and you know, and just hang around and being proud to show the, you know, the beauties of the country, you know, in person, in real life.
So I think that that is a good head start for the Costa Rican community. Still, I feel that there's a lot of, you know, work to be done here to get people involved and to, you know, just get awareness of the potential the protocol has in general.
But yeah, I mean, what I've been doing is just welcoming people, you know, like with the welcome community on the general, on the global, you know, with the welcome or the pleb chain hashtag that we have around.
And but specifically we have a Spanish community. It's not limited to Costa Rica, but it is called Seguidor Hispano, you know, there's an Oster user called Seguidor Hispano.
So it is meant for, as you mentioned, something similar as you did with the hashtag you use for the French people. It is meant for Spanish speaking plebs to join, you know, and just go in a client like Snork that you have the opportunity to go and see the following and the followers, and just follow everybody, you know, with a single click.
And that has, you know, been very positive because we got the chance to, you know, just connect people easily in that way.
But yeah, I mean, I'm just glad that we have this great tool, you know, which give you free speech and the opportunity to communicate openly without anybody, you know, in a permissionless way.
And the marriage that we have between Nuster and Lightning and Bitcoin, of course, is like the perfect marriage, I think.
So it's just a win-win for everybody. And we are so eagerly that we also have great opportunities for businesses and others.
I couldn't agree more. I was actually going to introduce you at the beginning right after I spoke a little bit about CGI, Ben, that he was going to pass it back to me.
But yes, Satoshi, it's amazing. I fucking love it. But yes, Satoshi, I can't wait to actually meet you down here in Miami, man. It's going to be fucking great.
Yeah, you're doing amazing work, man. Really appreciate everything you're doing. Yeah. Let me tell you, I mean, people used to call me Tico, which I love it. And that's fine.
And let me tell you why that is. People in Costa Rica, we tend to add, you know, some little particles at the end of the words like ito, ita, like, you know, you don't call a car, you call a car in Spanish, carro, or you call it in Costa Rica, carrito.
You know, it's like this little particle at the end, the ito, that adds, you know, like a little, you know, feel of, you know, of love to everything.
Like you get to, it's not a kid, we call it a kid, it's chico, but we call it chiquito, you know. So I call it, you know, Satoshi Tico, like a wordplay there to, you know, just I found it funny.
But yeah, just call me Tico. I mean, I'm not going to be pretentious, I'd be called Satoshi, you know. So, but that's just, I wanted to explain my nickname.
No, no, no, I understand you completely.
Oh, yeah.
You got it.
Yeah, yeah, I absolutely understand it because, yeah, we, I think my family does it a lot as well, in terms of when they're speaking to, but they do it in a different way, not going to lie, because my mom, when she's mad at me, me dice chiquito, like, like, but like, you know, cambia un poquito the accent.
Yeah, like behave chiquito.
Yeah, I got you.
But yeah.
Oh, to now I don't want to forget about you, man.
Jump on here.
Yeah, I'm just really, really curious about the language that you use. So just listen and then join it so you can see it, feel free.
I'm absolutely loving it.
I can absolutely join in regarding the onboarding bill, because I think we were all, we're so, so excited to see the welcome relay that Mazze and Katie made.
Like, this made it so much easier because I remember I was even previously posted about like a potential, like mandatory hashtag, regarding a client potentially like, let's say it's your first ever post so it adds like a hashtag welcome or something to you.
But having the relay has made it so, so easy for me to for me and others to help the people actually get up and running so, so fast that they get their lightning addresses up and running their profile pictures and everything nips.
It's yeah, I'm just so, so grateful and Tico has been doing an amazing job and so many people that I see here.
Ralph Bello.
So many more of you. Tony, you all do such an amazing job at it. I'm so proud of you guys.
The guide, the guide who written by Tony is very good because I think it's, it's very simple and not too difficult to understand. And it's, I started to write like a guide like this but then I was lost in explaining really to people explaining how to start,
how to set the profile and then I've lost I think I've stopped because I lost all the people but with the guide Tony right it.
I think it captured the right way to onboard people and to get the momentum and to keep the people on on Nostrel. And then, when people are on the on the platform like Iris North or Thomas, then the other people can take the lead and help them to start the lightning
address, start the setting the profile helping them, them with the NIP five and everything else. So, yeah, just one entry and one thing to have to just sharing on Twitter, for example, just like, hey, come on Nostrel check this guide and then onboarding is like in five minutes, and then the community on Nostrel can take the lead.
Absolutely, I agree so much, like, I love the guide on how to use.
Yeah, I'm like, right now, I think the initial part of like getting the profile up and running and people familiar to Nostrel has gotten really really good as of late, I have to say, I think the next step might be actually to maybe make an article about like, how people can find what they're interested in like start categorizing different kinds of hashtags that are being used and maybe different kinds of users that are posting it about certain
kinds of content maybe so people can maybe find faster the people and groups of people that they would, I guess, prefer to spend time with and find something to talk about more, because maybe people that join might not be really that much interested in in Bitcoin like they love it as a payment, but they're not really interested enough to just constantly keep on talking about it.
So, maybe they want to talk about sports or maybe they want to talk about photography or whatever so maybe they have a certain group of people and hashtags to start off from.
Yeah. And yeah, I think the list, the one people will be able to create list easily than now, it will help to create some communities and some hashtag around one topic.
I was testing primal.net. It's a new kind of client who's coming there. And then they have some specific feeds and on snort and on Dummies I think I'm an atheist, you can follow the some hashtag.
So it would be totally possible to have a custom feed like around topics and then to share the things with the people and around topics you like.
Because yeah, when I think when when you start on Noster, you only you see a lot of people talking about Bitcoin, but it's not very, it can be, it can pose some problem to people but I think then people will will go and find that there is there was.
Yeah, it can be overwhelming to people to get here and and see all of the laser eyes and, you know, the stack sacks that and and, and, you know, all the jargon that the coin is, we are used to.
Right. So, but yeah definitely getting getting new people involved in, you know, with different backgrounds and different opinions and, you know, and different preferences and hobbies.
Eventually we'll, we'll make the the network fact even more, you know, the story and strong in general, and will make the the protocol grow organically, and I don't know you you've been to to this morning nest with.
I think was Derek or somebody else and I think it was also Fiat Jeff joining, I don't recall if he was him, but he was surprised that the the total number of users now is around half a million active.
You know, plebs or nostrils. And because he he we got the numbers from from that same client you mentioned CGI the the primal net, and they run an estimation, you know, depending on the number of keys that are created and those that are active
and those that interact and you know have this six level of separation with each other. So they come, they came to around number of half a million and pups out there in the wild.
So if you consider the, you know, the age of the protocol. I mean this is, I mean if you compare it with mastodon for instance that my son being around for, I don't know 10 years so I don't know how much, how many years, but my son doesn't even have like
150 activity users now, you know, 50,000 users active so we are on the on the way to an explosive wave, you know, of new users joining just because of the network effect.
So we better be prepared for it, and you, you know, getting the, the, the French speaking audience and and we get in the Spanish, his panel speakers, you know, spinoff is panel say good or his panel as I mentioned on that hashtag.
It is very important and we need that on with, with, you know, with so many other languages you know German, I'm sure that there's lots of
potential users there, you know, in Australia and Germany and Switzerland and so many, you know, German speaking countries. And I don't know if you have done the experiment of adding some Japanese relays.
I have because I'm planning to get there you know to Nostra Aesia. So I've been, I've been doing some kind of, you know, just exploration to, to, to see which
users are more active so I can, you know, network with them and eventually meet there and, you know, just, just out of curiosity to see how it goes and and they are very active.
So, this is guide that Tony made.
I actually he's in the audience he he if he wants to come up I would like him to come up.
This guy this is, is easy and complete enough to be translated to to other languages so I already volunteered to translate it into Spanish.
And that's on the works. So, this kind of, you know, little, little by little efforts.
I think is what in general we, we add to, you know, to the mass adoption eventually.
Yeah, here's Tony's right here with us.
Welcome Tony.
He actually has a 6am slot with us. So,
I'm going to go high and hear your voice because I'm working overnight and I'm about to finish my work and I will get to get some sleep soon so
Yeah, lucky you brother.
Let's have you on Tony. Welcome.
Welcome Tony.
Hey Tony.
I think he's trying. Anyway, so whenever you want to talk just unmute.
And CGI.
Tell me about your, your experience on Nostra over there. I don't know if he already, if Sleepy already asked you about it but how's been your ride here I mean, when did you join and, and how did it go.
Now yeah, we would love to know. CGI.
Yeah, so I discovered Nostra on Twitter, but it was a French person who would talk about new, new concept new protocol new paradigm, and then I joined, it was before Jack. So, it was before the, the, the grant.
So I was using Astral, I was going my way on the Nips reading them a little bit understanding the concept.
It took me some, some time to understand the concept of relays and when when I really understand how it works. I was like blast, because it's it's a, it's totally new concept, the, not only the relays and the decentralization part
but the decentralized identity, and the easiness and the fast, the, the, the not the non complexity of the protocol. It's just text that everybody can read with some example and everything else.
And then, yeah, I was I was playing on Astral, I was trying to bring new people on but it was difficult Astral has had some problem, but the community was there I saw like, yeah, Jeff, or people still developing on it, and then it was good.
And I think the momentum really take when Jack come in and then give the grant. So, this is where I sticked more around Nostral and later, yeah, starting to bring on people.
And, yeah, it's mostly how I discovered Nostral and why I think it's it could make it and it's different that what we could see with like you you see that Mastodon or any federated system.
It's the, it's the decentralized kind decentralized identity and the decentralized infrastructure that Nostral has.
And let me ask you something else sorry if I'm acting like some, as a moderator but I'm just curious. What did you do when you're not posting in Nostral CGI. I mean CGI being sounds to me like, you know, like a, like a techie nickname.
I don't know if you're in into the computer stuff or what do you do in general over there in France. Are you in France or, or, or
near France, so it's easy for me to be there because it's 10am where I'm living. So, it's pretty easy to me to speak right now I'm, I'm up since two hours now, almost.
I'm working in tech, and I'm in mostly in Bitcoin because of the tech and because of what it can bring and then I'm Nostral for the tech. So, yeah, I have a job of computer, I don't know engineer aside as a day job and working part time so I have the time to work on Nostral or to
dive on Bitcoin and everything.
Right.
And, and may I ask something to tunnel PC sleepy and you.
So, what excited you the most on Nostral and how do you see the future of it.
It's, it's a complex question maybe.
I think, I think, like, initially the biggest fact was maybe not understanding anything like it was like so like so strange, or like nothing strange but just so unfamiliar that I had so much to studies, and the challenge of getting to wrap my head around it and getting to
understand all the nips and all that kind of stuff and like, how do I even upload my profile picture, how do I even get my light and address up there and like, what is this is happening and like, how do I find out about all about all the hashtags and everything like
getting all that setup and running was such an interesting challenge, which, which I love so much, which is also why I'm right now like really happy and fascinated to help the new people to onboard as well as it just.
Yeah, it's just, it's just so happy when I see like somebody I greeted and help set their profile out like two weeks into it, and like enjoying enjoying themselves and Nostral and posting their whatever makes them happy and like conversing with people and all that stuff.
Yeah, I agree with you, 100%.
My first day was was incredible to be honest.
I had an amazing first day. When I first got here, and I started posting.
There was a, there was a reaction right there after I posted and I didn't think it was going to get anything. I didn't know how this worked I didn't know how like, if the algorithm would be favorable to a new post or whatever.
I didn't know how to use algorithms. And yeah, everybody can see your shit. As soon as you post it. So, as soon as I posted it I got a reply and you know I went from there.
And then just posting back and forth and trying new things out like I came in basically trying to break things.
I had like 103 relays in the first hour that I was here, and almost fried up my phone and posting about it actually got me found by QW and Avi.
And then they showed me the plebe way so yeah it was it was pretty incredible your.
It really does bring your, your inner self out that you know for me it was that curious kid that just wants to you know just play around and have fun and break everything that he sees you feel me and then try to, you know, fix it back up.
That's just me. And it's worked incredibly well for me because I've gotten to actually experienced some of the first, you know ideas of many people like badges.
And I think initially like the one that first came out and many other things that I've seen when it first comes out like Nasheed Abed, he actually gave me his first account.
The first account, private account for me to try out when, because I needed it because I needed to upload a large video. And there was nothing like that out there and I asked them, can you make this service for me and he actually did it on the spot and I had the
first account and I was able to upload, I believe it was like a four minute video on there, and then post it. So, all these things it's just incredible and then being able to give feedback directly to the developer and then see the progress being made.
And then, you know, hours later, or a day or two later, you see that same implementation that you both talked about right there and then, no matter if they have a you know a day job at home.
This is like a passion project and you're always going to dedicate a significant amount of your time to it because it fulfills you, unlike, you know, your day job does, where you earn Fiat.
You're actually investing in everybody's future, because everyone will benefit from this, whether they, you know, believe it to be true today or not, they will.
So, yeah, I honestly I love it. I'm, I'm staying here because of the people. The people make this place so much fucking fun.
It's fucking incredible. There's nowhere else where I could speak to really intelligent individuals and have my, you know, my words heard and understood by them and actually like they listen and they're like, oh shit, that's a cool feature.
Yeah, we're gonna give that a try. Why the fuck not? And they go ahead and they do it. And yeah, and I love not being censored on here. Because yeah, I want to speak my mind, whatever it is.
It might not be the right thing, but I want to, I want to say what I want to say. And you might, you know, want to say what you want to say.
It might not be the right thing either. But who am I and who was anybody else here to tell you that you can't, you could, you might as well say whatever you want to say, because nobody's here to, you know, just tell you that you can't.
So speak your mind whenever you can speak your mind, because somebody's listening, and you never know that, you know, it might get implemented, like just say whatever features you want to come out. And, you know, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but somebody will do it because at the end of the day, like everybody here has almost the same interest or I believe we all have a lot of the same interest.
We hold a lot of the same things to be true. And we value a lot of the same things. So I think that's why we're all here and why we communicate so well. And Bitcoin is a big part of that.
It definitely is a, is that light at the end of the tunnel. And I believe on purple pilling is going to allow, you know, us to orange pill, much easier.
Yeah, so that's all I wanted to say. Thank you.
Hey buddy. Yeah, that's, that's great you shared that with us and then 10.
So, yeah, my story here on Nostra is kind of different to you I mean CGI you guys. I joined on December, I think, or January, was it January, I don't recall exactly now.
And everything happened when we find when somebody told me that, you know, this call up called demos at the time I didn't even know I had an iPhone.
Back in December. So they don't want to try this dumb stuff. And it's, you know, it's decentralized Twitter, you know, like, each, but then I forgot about it, and I did not install it.
And then on one of my Bitcoin telegram groups, you know, for lining P2P or P2P or Satoshi's, you know, by himself. Somebody mentioned Nostra and demos and that there will be a conference in Costa Rica about it.
And Jack Dorsey sponsoring it, and I thought, it sounds like a major conference, you know, in the horizon so I went up and I made my, my profile and finish it up.
And I realized, you know, like, the very first day as you mentioned that people were using put a Vida every everywhere you know like put a Vida here put a Vida there you know good morning put a Vida good night for a Vida and, and for me put a Vida is you know, daily, daily mantra here you know it's like the nation, national motto from Costa Rica I mean,
it means so many things to us you know like you can say, put a Vida for, you know, when greeting somebody or when you're living Oh, bye put a Vida, or how are you feeling, put a Vida or, you know, like, it's used for mostly for everything.
So I was, you know, a little curious about it, or in the list. And, and then I saw you last time it was Karen, I didn't even know who he was at the time, as asking, you know, like, put a Vida becoming the new GM, you know, the new good morning.
And it turns out that, you know, I felt the obligation to, to explain what put a Vida meant for for people you know for people to know about it.
And I did my second post actually was about what put a Vida meant. And my first post actually put a Vida typo, you know, like, I almost spell a very bad word with with put a Vida like like put a sleeping knows what it means.
But then my second post about it, kind of went a little viral. And it turns out that my first SAP came from Jack, you know, I was very funny because I just went when I signed up.
I just fill up you know all of the, of the required fields on on the on the app. And I saw that they asked for an LN URL lining address you know but I saw some people posting
comments and stuff but I didn't know about SAP at all. So, when I saw that, you know, like, it clicked immediately you know seeing the little bolt, and then seeing the comment and then seeing the transaction immediately appearing on my wallet.
And, and, and that just because they, they so value on the information I shared about something we cherish so much here in Costa Rica, you know.
And after that, I signed up for for the conference itself. And I decided that since people were coming to the country and, and, you know, if it would be me you know visiting, you know, unknown or foreign country.
It would be nice to have some firsthand information about it so I started posting about, you know, what we eat, you know, like, typical food, and, you know, places to go like national parks, and about the
beach about the, the animals we have here about, you know, the fruits. We got so many fruits here with nice colors and stuff so I started wasting a lot of information about Costa Rica and it seems people like that you know like they were just like warming up
for for getting here and, and that's something that helped me out you know meeting a lot of cool people you know like even before and those figure happen I already got, you know, like, many, many friends, you know, many Nostra friends.
And that's something that actually surprised me in a positive way because, you know, it's not easy nowadays to you know to make people, you know, like, make new friends in real life, and even more you know in the virtual world.
And, and as you mentioned I mean we got this, these responses this engagement that you never had anywhere else like I used Twitter since 2009 and I, I think I didn't even have to 200 followers.
That doesn't matter but what I meant is that I never got to to exchange anything with any of them, you know, and in in Nostra, just like the first week with this little story I told you about put a V that and Jack, giving me my welcome sabbath.
And in here and asking what would be the ease and, and everything. I managed to, you know, to just get, you know, like very hooked into into the protocol and everything and and since then, I love that I mean I love the, the way people express here and the way
people talk here and the main masters that we have here in the panel by the way. 50% of the main masters of of Nostra, I would say.
And I think it's, it's something just really cool and as I mentioned at the beginning we have the perfect marriage of of getting, you know, your data, data integrity being respected you know like you own what you post, and you get paid for what you post
as well so you never got a single penny from from years and years and years on and on other platforms and you got it now I mean value for value is a real thing, and actually, because that situation.
I told you, you know, like, I gave tips for for not for just to come here and enjoy the country. I actually started a little project, you know, like, like a little travel agency, you know, for for people to come to Costa Rica and pay with Bitcoin I mean like me getting a full
getaway package tailor made for for for people all paid with Bitcoin and, and they can go and have a, you know, like the perfect vacations here in Costa Rica, and enjoy it with with Bitcoin only you know so that's that the project I have in my hands now.
And I extended a little bit on it. Not only, you know getaways in Costa Rica, but, you know, just follow the, wherever the, the, the next Nostra Conference goes, I will go there and manage, you know, all of all of the needed you know, hotel transportation and, and, and, and
playing tickets for for for whoever, you know, needs it you know, like, like a service. So, yeah, I'm very excited about it and, and I just bought the, the, you know, the, the website today the, the URL now I got it this is called Tico getaways.com.
You know, just, just like that so this is, you know, a prime time here that the first time it goes out to the world is not even with SSL certificate or with any picture yet but Tico getaways.com is out there in the wild now.
Sorry if I extend a little bit.
It was great to have all your, all your input. May I ask you something about Bitcoin in Costa Rica.
Because in, in a accidental media where because I'm living in Europe, we have, we don't have the I think the good idea or the good inputs on how Costa Rica handling Bitcoin and everything else.
So, from merchant perspective, do you have some, some, some idea how they accept it is Bitcoin.
Have a good acceptance there and how do you feel about Bitcoin becoming a real currency.
Do you mean like if, if Bitcoin is legal here or not or you are asking more on the, you know,
more on population, how the population acts, see Bitcoin.
Okay, yeah like the perception or the, the orange peel of people here.
So, you know, like, I will say that the number one, you know, product that Costa Rica sells is, is tourism, you know, tourists.
And because of that, I mean, I've seen at least three major Bitcoin hotspots in the country, one being the Pacific South, exactly on, on Vita where the Nostrica conference took place.
There, there's at least two more towns over there that people just came from vacations and decided to stay, you know, and some of those are Bitcoiners.
So they, you know, the project is called Bitcoin jungle. Those guys settled there and decided that they, you know, were having so many issues getting bank accounts and stuff here in Costa Rica.
So they decided to go Bitcoin only with their project. So in Vita, Dominical and I'm missing another one.
I don't remember the name of the town. There is like, you know, they even asset Bitcoin in the, you know, in the farmers market so you have an idea you can buy potatoes, you can buy eggs, you can buy, you know, anything there that you may need with Bitcoin, with lightning, actually, with the Bitcoin jungle wallet.
Then there is another hub on the Pacific North, again, by the beach in Santa Teresa, and there is a mixed project from some guys from Germany and Costa Rica.
They are working on not Bitcoin only, they have their own token, but they are doing some great work over there getting businesses on board. So they onboard the businesses to asset their currency, but the same wallet that accepts Bitcoin.
So it's kind of, you know, even if it's not Bitcoin only, if it's not ideal, you know, because we know that Bitcoin is, there's no second best, there's just Bitcoin and everything else is shitcoins.
But at least they are doing, you know, awareness, you know, work on getting people to get familiar into asset cryptocurrencies. Then, on the center of the country, you know, like near the capital city here in San Jose, Heredia, and Cartago,
there's another big project with medical tourism, you know, like people coming here to get the TIT fixed and to get, you know, any kind of medical procedures that will be prohibited or not prohibited, but extremely expensive on the US, on the nearby country.
So there's a cluster of businesses accepting Bitcoin over there as well and lightning, and they, you know, get patients, you know, with the need, and they give them, you know, hotel and all of the care they need, and they have kind of a vacation,
but during the vacation time, they have, you know, something medical done on them. So if you consider that, I say that for Costa Rica is tiny, you know, it's a very small country, it's tiny.
I consider that, and something else that worth mentioning is that cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin is legal here, it's not legal tender, but it's legal. So you won't get banned or get any issue with the banks if you use it.
I would say that the acceptance here is pretty positive. Actually, I thought we will accept the Bitcoin standard, the Bitcoin legal tender before El Salvador, but, you know, it happened before there.
That's fine with me. I don't know if that answered your question, but yeah, we are a very, you know, open country to tourists and to Bitcoin, you know.
Thanks, that was perfect. I didn't accept such an answer, but yeah, it's pretty good to see some country.
Yeah, I hate all the time, I'm sorry.
No, it's perfect, I think, because the input I have, it's pretty different when we speak to people directly, not through media or something else. And that's why I think Nostra is necessary.
I think we have some time. Can I maybe ask Canel or Sir Sleepy, let me know if you want to say something else before?
Oh, no, you guys can keep going. It's no problem, don't worry about us.
Yeah, or just, I don't know if anybody in the audience have a question, just raise your hand and...
Oh yeah, anybody in the audience, we want to come up, we'll bring you up.
I don't know if Tony is asleep or he's just shy.
Maybe he was getting a quick nap in before his slot.
That's exactly what I was guessing, last preparation.
Come on, everybody in the audience, feel free.
In the meantime, if you want to think just before we finish this, if you could ask for a nip or function on Nostra, what would it be?
You're asking me or you're asking everybody?
Everybody.
You know, it's difficult to get one out there, but I wish a functionality becomes a release soon in any client, but I would love to see a marketplace.
I think it's a killer application, you know, killer use case, and we got so many shit in their house, you know, laying around just collecting dust that are still valuable and you will get some sweet sats out of it.
So I think that's something I would like to see.
Honestly, there's a lot of things that are already nips that I would like to see.
Well, potential, they're not actually nips yet because they're still being talked about and stuff like that.
But honestly, if it was up to me, I'd want something a little bit different than social media.
I'd be looking for something similar to just like a telegram, you know, just like a where you could have chat rooms and stuff like that.
And you could just create a chat room whenever you'd like, sort of like what we have with a Nostra chat.
But I'd say different because I'd want to do, you know how you have those channels where you could have people subscribe to the channels and you just push out content like that.
And sometimes like have them comment on a single release of your, like, let's say you were to announce something, they could comment on that specific thing, or you could choose who, I don't mean that.
I don't want to get too much into it, but basically just like a telegram for Nostra that doesn't have every single thing that telegram currently has, but maybe mixes up a little bit of what Discord has and what telegram has.
I'd also love to see something like Twitch, where you could have like live video streaming, you know, NewAbro to zap the content creator that's streaming whatever they might be streaming.
And if you're a developer and he's just streaming his open source project that he's coding, and it's a client that you're using, you could, you know, zap them directly.
That'd be pretty fucking cool.
But yeah, that's basically what I like to see something like that, NIPs specific for, you know, those type of features.
And then, you, Tanel, if you're still up.
I was refreshing during the first part of the question because I had some audio problems, so if you could repeat the question, it would be absolutely amazing.
The question was just if you could write a NIP and see it implemented or any function, what would it be in two, three rows, just to finish the...
I'm not going to really answer that. I'm not that much of a tech guy, so I don't want to appear that I know what I'm talking about when I don't.
I'm just going to be honest here.
Not in tech, just as a user, as a contributor of an author, do you see any function that you want to see implemented? Like I don't know if...
I think the current thing that fascinates me the most are the DMs.
Because we're like whenever it comes up, like I still see after weeks a lot of the DMs being leaked by accident.
Because some people may be reacted to them from another client and also the encryptions and like possibly making bots work better in the DMs.
This is really something that I'm looking forward to really.
So yeah, just to see the angle of maybe making the weakness or strength instead.
And there's always a question regarding, like for example, NostraChap.io as well.
Like how much should be in one single client? Should DMs be separate to NostraChap.io?
How much should DMs maybe take over from that? Should we bring group chats over?
How much stuff should there be? And like when is it too much? I guess also.
So that's my two sets.
I like it. Pretty good.
All right, guys. And before the time is up, which is now, I would like to thank you for getting the trucks together.
You know, just getting people organized and willing to, you know, to get here and be a little vulnerable.
You know, like just sharing a little bit about their life and, you know, the philosophy of life in general or just to, you know, hang around and get some jokes and some memes out there is something great.
And that makes Nostra stronger. So thank you for that, guys.
And thank you, CGIBeam, for sharing your slot with me.
Yeah, thanks. Thanks for this. Sorry, go on. Go on. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, Scott. Go ahead.
So, yeah, thank you for this initiative. I really appreciate that you're up 24 hours for this and then you are allowing some spot to people in the community.
And it was really cool to share the slot with you, Satoshi Tico, because I think we have the same challenges and we have the same, not the same community, but we have the same goal in this.
And yes, it was pretty cool to do it. I hope it's not the last one, and I hope it's not the last one for a few times. Yeah, and have a good sleep.
Thank you. Thank you guys so much for being here.
But in the recording right now, I appreciate you guys so much for taking your time to spend it with us and educating us on how you guys are doing your onboarding amongst your communities.
I appreciate you guys so much.
