Tanja, this is a great idea, because it's needed and because it's what I've been working on since Prague. I just wish you weren't misrepresenting you're involvement in what I built and produced at BTC Prague. Because of this, I am completely turned off by your actions and proposal. It's why I don't talk to you about it or respond to your emails. I'll be honest. I'm pissed off. Not because it's a replication of what I did. Not because it's taking credit for my idea and running with it too. Nostr is open and anyone can do this. (This is why I'm stoked on the booth initiative for Amsterdam. Those guys are killing it.) It's because of the representation of your involvement. Your proposals said you were involved in BTC Prague. This just wasn't the case at all. You were at the booth with your friends, taking selfies and chatting with one another. You didn't organize Dev Hack Day speakers and panels. You didn't work on the schedule for the booth or talks and panels. You didn't work with vendors. You didnt work with volunteers and developers to ensure attendance and that they had a place to speak to their customers and sell their goods. All of it. You just didn't. You know you didn't. You say you helped organize it, so what am I missing here? You didn't talk to people visiting the booth until the third day when I asked you to do so. Then you worked. Then you talked to people. Mostly about Satlantis, but that's fine. Maybe it started to click then? As you began to talk to visitors? Again, this all would sit right with me if you didn't portray yourself as organizing or working at the booth in the capacity that you did. You weren't part of the process at all. I feel like my good nature is being taken advantage of here, I'm not impressed. I'm glad you saw an opportunity and ran with it as I can't attend every single conference and do this at every single conference. Though, I'm going to try my best, I don't have the time or the funds right now to do this. Good luck on replication of what I built. Truly. We need more of it. I hope you're successful and are able to join me on this endeavor. You may end up being better than I am at this since you have more experience organizing events as an event coordinator in your fiat job. Just please for the love of God be honest with your proposals. Proof of Work is all we have.

Hi Derek, Appreciate your response here. Something must've been lost in translation. I'm new here, and trying to learn. Sorry if you feel like I've stepped on your toes. You're right that I didn't help organise Hackday or anything like that (I've not mentioned it anywhere), but I can assure you I did my best to help out during the days of the booth, as a volunteer, while learning about it all at the same time, and organise one of the Nostr satellite events Sure - I was invited by Satlantis, and that was the product I was most familiar with, but as you see, I posted this on Highlighter and I'm using Primal, so I clearly learned about it. I'm not sure how to feel about your response. I'm not here to "steal your idea". I never said that I "came up with it" and have given you credit every time I posted about it. It feels super weird to me that you would say that. Anyway, I've had nothing but support from other people, and I was hoping to have your support on this, since a lot of work needs to go into arranging it for the many conferences going on. You of all people should know that. I've volunteered to go and do it, not for some "personal gain" or because I want to "steal your idea" - but because this is the first time I've encountered a community like this and I feel compelled to be involved. Really sorry you feel that way!

This is a weird flex dude. Miljan and I also organised a bunch on the back end, but I’m not complaining about not having my name on it. Who cares. (I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen her credit you like 5 times already). Let the girl do her thing, and try help where she can. We’re supposed to be welcoming to new people. I love you dude and all the work you do for Nostr, but you sound like a sorority girl with her knickers in a twist 😂😂😂 Chill out. Relax. Pura Vida. It’s gonna be ok 😆

Damn did not like this comment section at all, this got toxic. I get it, sometimes comments can get under your skin. My wife's Latina, and I've seen this rage before 😂. I think her main point was that someone was talking behind her back while acting friendly to her face, but somehow it got sidetracked to accusations of only using sex appeal and name calling. Derek from my interactions with him has always been stand up dude. However no one is perfect. I get mad at dumb things all the time that people from the outside wouldn't understand either. From the outside looking in something triggered him about the whole thing. It probably wouldn't be something that bothered me but everyone is different. Nostr is for all, he at least wished success. Best we can do is move forward and do the best we can to push Nostr and freedom tech forward. Nostr for all, to each their own on how they go about it. I am glad people are learning the apps and willing to show up to conferences to show others. The more the better. The apps and tools keep getting better too 💜.
