 Hivetalk 100% can do this. Lets connect over DM. 

This is the platform you want to do especially with the screenshare and ability to toggle between broadcast style and interactive jitsi/zoom style. 

RTMP coming soon.  
 It's very cringe when FOSS projects use ® ™ in their branding...  
 on the malware it doesn't. 

But a TM does protect merch that is sold using the brand trademark, that can be used  to raise funds that back to supporting the project. That's where the business value comes in and also bootstrapping to keep it going where it otherwise would have to depend on grants/donations

 I made hivetalk. Have you tried it?

 💯 support means different things though, its not just a female thing its about getting more people to actively participate in development which is the most difficult challenge. 
 Devs should also be designers. 
Art/Design Training should go simultaneously with technical. 

Why aren't more people interdisciplinary?

 its a great control mechanism, to not allow someone to become a subject matter expert in more than one discipline. 

Hence the modern  "goal" to be in a vertical big corporate. 
 Nostr Twitter Feed style clients aren't doing it for me anymore. 

eeeee........................

halp.
 
 time to cut the follow list, its ancient. but i'm lazy 
 actually i just realized i can't. everyone i follow means granting automatic access to the relay. its actually serving a dual purpose here.

 I understand it is proof of work but how many female devs are being funded?  
 Does it only really count if you are funded by a grant? 
 
 I'm a female dev.  I built hivetalk.org , you can also see the other strictly bitcoin/nostr/lightning items I've worked on at https://github.com/bitkarrot/ and other projects at:  https://nostree.me/bitkarrot@nostr.com

Is that proof of work winning or not? You can let me know. ;)

 
 How many don't wanna get doxxed? 
 Female dev here.  🥳  
 if you mean centralized grants like opensats and HRF, not I'm not gonna go there.   @Mallory is going to talk about why at Nostriga. 

if you mean p2p direct funding from plebs, yes I am funded that way and fully intend to keep going that route, because I can and I will.  
 Bitcoin is meant to be p2p digital cash. nostr is the decentralzed social + commerce platform that allows us to conduct txs in this fashion. 

we're already doing p2p funding, don 't need an additional funding layer. 
 run your own company p2p funded. 

people have barely cracked the commerce nut here yet. 

party's just getting started. don't be late to the parhty. 
 Its R&D. If you understand R&D on personal level, not institutional - Always have a smol budget for bleeding edge research. If you don't wanna, that's OK, you can choose to stay with the status quo and be late to the party. E.g. "I'll wait until bitcoin hits 100k and has mainstream endorsement" 
 In my book, that's a very narrow monocular viewpoint. It means you can't see intrinsic value before it happens. 
 No, its way more than that. 

But at this point, its like me asking people understand the potential of amazon or alibaba when its just 1997. 

Everyone laughed at my mom when she was using alibaba in 1999. Now who's laughing at who? 
 The work you do is the intrinsic return. I don’t think its a fail, i think its a win. 

Does an olympic athlete view every missed jump attempt as a fail or as a experience on their learning curve to becoming a champion? For every triple axel landed, there were thousands of misses

 Truly grateful I have never had to use linkedin.com in my life. But, a difficult road in another way that most can’t swallow. 
 some people glorify working for the biggest corp out there, and yes that is worrisome. 
 I wish the developed countries could go back to the way things used to be done or are still done in developing countries where there isn't a resume, there's just proof of work done, like work done by an open source nym online. No holds barred and you're hired, just like that. 

Credential - less. 

Screw the system. We know you're capable and we'll take it; forget the regulatory barriers; they only exist to tax and add middlemen. 
 where is "here"?  yes some places are overregulated. 

the more overregulation the more mentally slow and inefficient, I've observed. How these people are able to make a living soul sucking the system is just sad af

Remember nostr had no funding in the first few years of existence, and yet people were aggressively building on it like the world was gonna end tomorrow.

 Make it. i'll use it. they are canadian and kinda quiet, but kinda under the radar. i used them for a bit to test. i think inbound is okay, outbound has a bit of fees. 
 probably under the radar and too smol to be a target. 
 I've used them before for a shopify integration as a testbed. i think they are okay for ultra smol volume but prob not if you exceed 1M sats. 
 test it with 500k or more sats, and the check the fees.  <1k sats not enough for a litmus test 
 Good point. although for a custodial starter micro merchant wallet, which it seems to be commonly used for, what would you think is a reasonable limit? 250k ? 100k? 
 ok that's reasonable.  It interesting to me, to see the small custodial wallets and their limits before doing self sov or stepping into a higher limit. i think the zbd game wallet has a max of 250k.  Lets say someone starts with nothing and they accumulate, they'd need to get to around 250-500k sats before  they can start opening channels on say, alby hub. or go custodial with a bigger provider.  
 yes of course. good call.

 Unpopular opinion : Devs should also be Designers. 

People should be trained in both Art + Engineering. 

We have a crisis of specialization.  
 I guess I'm  pretty masochistic, i was made to do both from a young age.  Never gave up on it either. 

what i'm saying is you don't need to be an expert at both but some understanding and basic training on the design side would surely make it a lot easier to coordinate with the technical. i keep hearing devs complain about the designers they work with......

and i often think huh, if they only understood the gap. but that only happens when you train both sides.

 I've tried to use, but have trouble using without logging in on nos2x. also they have a ton of tracking so i tend to use habla.news for long form content. my favorite is satellite.earth because its just a calm interface, although missing some features, its just easier to stay on it for long periods of time and it threads relatively well. 
 Lots of people over on keet and holesail.io have been interested in bridging nostr to holepunch for a while.
