it’s sucky cause it’ll divide the community wether you think it will or it won’t 

not everyone can make it to both, so they’ll have to pick one (this is only accounting for 2 in one year, there can be more) 

99% of nostriches see the conferences held by nostr.world as the “OFFICIAL” nostr conferences, so now you gotta compete against that and their star studded panels, and the money donated to them that you won’t have access to for booking of the venue. Sure we can try to crowdfund it, but since it hasn’t been done n you have no blueprint be prepared to encounter challenges that need new solutions. 

 Exactly 💯
Plus if it’s not funded by JD it’s not going to have any devs attend. 

 How to fund it I think is the biggest challenge. There are plenty of devs working on smaller projects though, even some here in Australia, so while we might not get the “big name” devs coming there could still be plenty of interesting content. 

 Plus could get at other speakers who aren’t strictly talking about Nostr tech but are more aligned with free speech etc. 

 Btc++ is heavily dev focused, nostr could be an add on to that 

 Understandably australia is far away. But it doesn’t mean nostr conferences cant piggy back on existing dev centric conferences such as btc++. If you want devs at a nostr conference then we should hit up @niftynei , don’t have to depend on Odell and crew. 

 Wasn't there a conference in Japan tho :S 

 yup my flight was like 30 hours or so 

 got the t-shirt to prove it 

 😂😂😂 exactly 

 Democracy is big illusion but you can always make a meeting and invite nostriches to it. I can vote for it too if Brazilians are coming 

 Yeah and i ain’t gonna go back to asia anytime soon. So totally over it 

 doesn’t really solve the issue for doing it in Australia though.. was gonna be nice to have Assange be there, but yeah piggy backing off existing conferences is proven to work, wonder if there’s one in Australia that we can piggyback off of. 

 Is there no bitcoin conference in australia? @tigs 

 Personally i’d like to see less dependence on just odell and crew picking/directing nostr conferences but maybe in due time this will happen 

 same, also it isn’t Odell, this was his first attendance to a nostr conference. 

it’s “volunteers” n the JD money we need to seek less dependency on 

but yeah in due time, at the moment it’s a single point of failure. 

 💯 

 Anyone can have their own conference at any time. 

What’s the issue 🫡
