General Suggestions 🫡 and other stuff
🛫 Onboarding structure.

2.1) Have they heard about Nostr ?

Yes / No -> Go over fundamentals.

- Public / Private Key Pair
Since we are at a bitcoin conference the notion of key pairs should be less foreign.

- Notes are signed and transmitted by clients to Relays.
Core Principle: Dumb* relays, Smart Clients

- Unsilo nature of broadcasting to multiple relays and self hosting your own.

2.2) Setting up a client ( damus (npub18m7…q955) , npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0 (npub142g…xrj0) , … )
This is where I think we could do a bit more network effect with #introductions to get new plebs a bit better connected.

2.3) Showcasing client interoperability
So for the fine folks who went through with the installation process of a client or where already setup, i’d show a mini demo of Cypher (npub1nkm…49fn)

💜Community Booth / Funding

A representation of Nostr at (non) bitcoin events can be a costly endeavor but can be highly vital to explain and grow the concept that is Nostr. Since the primary question with onboarding often times results in installing or suggesting a client to get started with, we are somewhat providing a free marketing service for these clients. So a wild funding suggestion 🤠 At some point in time it will make sense for Nostr Clients to self represent at events, but for now it would maybe make sense to bundle the efforts into a Nostr Clients Flyer so that we can highlight the unsiloed data structure & interoperability.

Some Closing Arguments:
