Oddbean new post about login | logout South American Nostr users: if we held the next Nostr Fest in Uruguay, Argentina or Brazil, what city would you recommend and why? bonus points for cities where we could rally some users for on-the-ground help. 🙏
Rio ♥
Buenos Aries, Bariloche, Montevideo…. The problem with Brazil is that is huge but the national press would cover Jack showing up. I think Florianopolis, Rio, Porto Alegre, or São Paulo would work for various reasons.
Rio or São Paulo… because I want to go to both and have never been to either
São Paulo and Rio are really overrated- been living here for 2 years and nothing compares to the beauty, safety and calm of Floripa. https://primal.net/e/note1q0hn0xr9w4lllns39elzxav4dyyuttlezhgd8qpkda26rs98vd3q8t7s2l
Montevideo Uruguay 🇺🇾, buena capacidad hotelera y amplia gama de precios , teatros céntricos amplia capacidad sino una Arena con buena comunicación vial desde todos lados . Mucho público del mundo tech / dev ,uno de nuestros productos de exportación principal es software
Paraguay no existe
Florianopolis - BJJ - Beach (1000x better than Costa Rica) - Surf (on par with CR) - Small town Vibe (you’d make a big impact locally, and have a chance of starting a movement). - it’s a SINGLE flight from 6 major cities (BA, SP, Rio, Montevideo, Asuncion and Santiago) - perfect weather in the summer - opposite weather to northern hemisphere - inexpensive - EXCELLENT food - Can help organise (@paloma & @Svetski live there & can help organise) - Nostripa is a cool name - Have the domain Nostripa.com - can run it after SatsConf in Nov2025 - if wanting sooner, can do it right after @niftynei's Bitcoin++ in Jan 2025 Plus Floripa is where everyone wants to visit, and what better opportunity to do so?
fyi: we moved the bitcoin++ event to feb!! the 19-22!!
Relatively safe for Brasil terms. Warm in November. Relatively cheap prices. Moveable along the island. Brazilian Forró and Zouk classes and dances available. Good surf, friendly people Why don't I move there?! Vou chegar mais uma vez, meu Brasil!
forró foreverrrr
I can give some classes! 1 hour Forró for 1 hour NIP explanations
@Pattern may be worth talking to
São Paulo, then R38TÃO and @AlexandreCosta can help organize and rally local activists.
WE SHOULD RIP ARGENTINA OR URUGUAY. BRAZIL WILL PROBABLY TRY TO BAN NOSTR IN SIX MONTHS.
Wait can Nostr be banned ? 🫢
he said try
Via the apps maybe!
what's the bestlightning wallet to use with nostr... or in general? I use wallet of satoshi but I have to VPN out of usa because they don't work here. I got 90% of the way with my own lnd node but I don't know if I want to do that at the moment.
WE'LL GO TO WAR AGAINST MORAES WITH AN ARMY OF OSTRICHES https://blossom.oxtr.dev/6bb6273f2f87cd864be71849e1f4b2ce7110bca466e5f1ccb131eacba864058c.png
@mcshane if Brazil stops the insanity, look into Jericoacoara, where @bitcoinbeachbr is located. Circular economy in development since 2021. Many places to spend, and people on the ground. Hell, it's the home of the Bitcoinize POS machine being used for payments at all the conferences ❤️🔥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvT7W4AyQm8
Montevideo would be great.
Totally. I think that Javier Milei wouldn’t have problem to be in Argentina and spent ours sats
some where with good surf, I'd come.
Australia has amazing surf
ya but with 700 people in the line up.
Oh really now?
sure? 🫣
Peru/Argentina/el salvador/ Nicaragua etc etc … brimming with good waves!
planning a trip to nicaragua this winter. 🤙 it'll be the second time I've been there.
There is an Aussie guy there called Dan he and his wife have the best set up in Popoyo - forget the nabe of it but you can’t miss it .. it’s opposite the general store a big white oasis! Great food too 💜
haha popoyo is where we were last year. Dan? hmmm, doesn't ring a bell. but I'll look for him.
His place is high end but the food is cheap and great value. Popoyo has the best subsets too! https://image.nostr.build/d58bc49d72d55b543c9397aaec1beaddf7bf187b9f90ed12c1d8e59ddc87e9a3.jpg https://image.nostr.build/53af2054101007b29e2158f93656590c1bb35e23ed655151962d6c7531a9d0c3.jpg
This makes me wonder, is/was there any (digital) protocol which not allowed to use by a state? I'm sure they can do this by law, but enforcing it is something else.
Buenos Aires, hands down. Lots of bitcoiners and nostriches around.
just the prospect of this fills me with excitement............ nostr:note1k86u2c8hkmp9kldy2seg3ag4x0upt2gsdsydrdnxujtyvarvpp8s6pfvzq
Is South America even safe?
Buenos Aires, great city. Or Mendoza, in the mountains 🏔️. Both in Argentina
Don’t do Brazil!!
I can at least try to be helpful https://nomadsurfers.com/surfing-in-argentina/
Costa Rica again?
Why don't do it close to @niftynei 's BTC++ in Floripa, Brazil?
The cheapest would be Santa fe or Mendoza, in AR. Montevideo is by far safer and easier to get around than Buenos Aires, but way more expensive. Forget Brazil, censorship here is escalating fast
santa fe has some wild venues
why no nostr event in santa fe :D
