 the nostr booth at  @BTCPrague had a lot of successes

for example, i spoke with a team of German journalists that recognized the importance of decentralized and censorship resistant content. they want to build and/or use an existing platform that uses nostr for their articles. 

they had a lot of questions.

i informed them on highlighter, habla, and said that they can use these existing applications, contribute to them, fork them, or build their own.

 Our girl @Tanja  did a great job at connecting with Germans in *their language* at the Nostr booth 🙏🏽 
 sadly she was not there when this group came by 😟 i have the one guy's phone number though 🤣 
 @Tanja 👀 maybe you can reach out? 
 Yes sure! @Derek Ross please DM me 🙏 
 That's why I believe integrating Nostr in existing publishing software (like a CMS) can really make a change for them. With Nostr the content can syndicate in both directions. 

In case you didn't know: that's what I'm trying to build in Drupal and have already demonstrated it with some proof of concepts. 🤓 Your content not only lives on your server in your own database, but is also distributed with Nostr to several relays (long-form content is a really good fit for this). Looking forward: imagine what happens if your current website will also act as a Nostr relay.. 
 i think that local relays are great for speed and distributing or broadcasting that content to other relays helps with decentralization. it's a good mix. no one wants a slow website. 
 I know nostr.band is alreadyacts like a client requesting new events from all known relays.
When I post an event to my personal/development relay, it's getting requested and indexed within seconds 😆

So broadcasting content already works in a neat way I must admit even I just broadcast it to one relay.   
 The outbox model helps here too. I publish to my private relay and it's discovered right away. 
 Goodmorning Derek ☀️
We could use some help for the Nostr days, suggestions for speakers, have a booth for you guys and we have a Nostr Beach festival on day 3, expecting 1500+ people on @SurinameDecentralized organized by @DragonBitcoin @gabrielsantos 
 Good morning, Maya! I'd love to attend, but I don't believe that I can make it. It's just too much for me to continue taking time off from my normal job. I need to find a way to quit and do this nostr growth hacking full time 😉 I can absolutely help find speakers and raise awareness/support for your Nostr events though. Let's chat. 
 Sent you a DM! 
 Will there be a similar booth at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville? 👀

I'll be there, would love to swing by and support if so!
