#Nostrica Day 3 Recap
It’s been an incredible 3 days of #Nostrica, even for the virtual attendees. Thank you to the virtual conference team that helped make it so seamless! Be sure to check our note at the end about the nym badges that helped protect nym identities from the video streams.
On the final day, we got to hear from nostr.build (npub1nxy…avr7) who discussed Content and Moderation on Nostr. He shared impressive metrics including ~2,500 unique visitors per day, ~100 video uploads per day, +110k total unique uploads, +100 accounts sold with ~2,300 uploads. He also discussed interesting content moderation decisions, and brought up a community content review process. Finally, Nostr.Build previewed the new Nostr.Build website, which looks incredible!
Next up NVK (npub1az9…m8y8) , ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg) , PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) , and “Future Paul” (npub unknown) gave us recent updates on clients, relays, and the Nostr protocol. Nostr bounties were discussed and can be found at https://bountsr.org/ or nostrbounties.com (nostr native). Nostr integrations are now available on orangepillapp (npub1ve8…9ka6) , Fountain, Cashu, and Alby (npub1get…0nfm) . Projects such as Primal.net, Nostore, were also discussed.
Next up max (npub18lz…ugm3) got on stage to discuss funding of projects on Nostr, venture capital, and different business models.
PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) discussed non social media use cases for Nostr, which he thinks are an accelerator for bitcoin adoption.
Next Excellion (npub1exc…n72a) and ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg) discussed the importance of Nostr on nation state adoption.
After the lunch break, arshmolu (npub1wlk…qwhy) , from the Human Rights Foundation’s Bitcoin Development Fund, discussed how bitcoin and open protocols can be used to help the oppressed in countries with authoritarian regimes and closed societies.
Next up was “NIPS IRL”, a panel of women of Nostr including elidy (npub1a7n…vfnu) , Susiebdds (npub1jt0…6q3n) , mads (npub1rpe…2et2) , nobody (npub1csa…z4x9) , vrod (npub1h50…rqev) , and NostReport’s very own Marce (npub1y67…q62h) . Some important topics discussed include how do we onboard more women to Nostr, how do we make Nostr more accessible to everyone, orange-pilling through Nostr and Roya’s orange-pill moment, the difference between using Nostr versus Twitter, and the future of Nostr.
mplorentz (npub16zs…92l7) and daniel (npub1pez…xdvg) from https://www.nos.social/ got onstage and discussed their concept of “Decent Nostr”, as well as building a client to protect the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, as well as protecting journalists and citizens of authoritarian regimes.
PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) , ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg) , and KeithMukai (npub1tv8…7wn2) took the stage for a discussion panel on NIPs in general, including quite a bit of talk about Delegated Event Signing, defined in NIP-26.
jack (npub1sg6…f63m) led a panel for audience Q&A, along with NVK (npub1az9…m8y8) , jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) , Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) , Kieran (npub1v0l…qj49) .
The final panel of the day, and of this year’s conference, was titled Nostrica Retrospective & Planning the Next Nostr Unconference, and discussed highlights of this conference and possibilities for future conferences. This panel featured NVK (npub1az9…m8y8) , jack (npub1sg6…f63m) , mcshane (npub16vr…p2va) , ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg) , Marce (npub1y67…q62h) , mads (npub1rpe…2et2) , elidy (npub1a7n…vfnu) , BitcoinJungle (npub14f2…v7lu) , and angela (npub19vv…t562) .
Keep an eye out for a final report from onsite NostReporter, Marce (npub1y67…q62h) , as this year’s conference comes to a close. In the meantime, here are a couple of interesting facts we learned today:
elidy (npub1a7n…vfnu) Amazing work from the #nostrica AV team to protect those who want to remain anon. These badges, when worn, will protect you from the video stream, blurring your face, because of their unique color combination. (works most of the time).

mcshane (npub16vr…p2va) shared that there were over 310k website visits to https://nostrica.com during the conference!

Call it coincidence, serendipity, or fate, but the timing of the #Nostrica 2023 Unconference was certainly poetic as it coincided with the 17th anniversary of when Twitter was founded. Nostr is an idea whose time has come, and we’ve chosen this screenshot shared by Rabble as today’s Meme of the Day, as a symbolic passing of the baton from centralized platforms to decentralization. Information wants to be free.

Thanks to AV team.
Hence, the design was inspired by an evil eye amulet 🧿
The lanyard carries a design inspired in hardware, relays, and human connection.
🙏 Thank you Marce

WhiteRabbit (npub1xw8…pukx) Are banks starting to limit inter-bank transfers? WhiteRabbit notices transfer limits and additional time to clear funds. 🏦💸
quoting nevent1q…kr4sFWIW I also bank with Wells Fargo as well as other institutions with my business. We have noticed just this week reduced transfer limits as well as additional days to clear funds. Keep in mind this is a business account and now our 30 day maximum limit from Wells Fargo to Chase is capped at 15k which is bonkers for a business. Our daily transfer limit has also been capped at 10k. There are severe controls in place at WF to reduce the risk of capital flight.
