‼️🚨 From our embedded NostReporter #[0] 🚨‼️
Day One is on, and so is the heat! 🔥 The first wave of attendees arrived at the Awake Center early to register and get their amazing lanyards. What a vibe! It definitely has an early adopters feel all over this unconference.
Let me take this first unconference day report to give thanks! 🫶
First, we want to thank Govinda for letting us use his fantastic home at Awake as our own for these three days. He even handcrafted the beautiful wooden podium on our main stage. Please look at it and admire the art and thought put into it. (see attached pictures) 🎭
Keeping the Pura Vida mentality with every single one of her designs, we are thankful for #[1] Her artwork is all over Nostrica, and it appears on the gorgeous swag that pays homage to all the devs and nostr supporters. (Pic below) 🎨
The sweetest person I've met since I got here, Nikki #[2] , put together a gorgeous play area for the kids at Nostrica. Let's thank her and her baby for living under the Nostr principles and sharing with the community. 🙏👶
We could thank many people, but these are the ones for today. We will continue thanking everyone. I'll probably miss some, but this couldn't happen without all of you plebs that make Nostr the coolest place on the internet, and now in Costa Rica. 🇨🇷
Back to what most of you are waiting to hear about, what's happening at the stages. I've spent most of my day at the Workshop, where privacy and development have been the main topics. Nostr OGs have been on fire.🔥🔥🔥 Actually, I guess every speaker and attendee here is an OG. Something really hot is happening here, and is not just the temperature!
On the main stage, #[3] and #[4] have taken the lead. They need no introduction. Having them moderate and improve how they do is art on its own. Am I thanking people again? Can't help myself...
Day one also featured #[5] #[6] #[7] #[8] and an impressive Nostr Client panel after the lunch break that included #[9] from #[10] , Chris David (building a Telegram like chat client https://thearcapp.com/ ), #[11] , #[12] from Nuestr, #[13] from Akawin, and a great presentation from #[14] of #[15]
And the conference continues!!!

Seriously, Nostrica Day One has been packed with excellent content by top-of-the-line devs and supporters. I'll be back tomorrow with more news and pictures, and yes, expect to find me thanking more people!
Friendly reminder to check the Livestream for those at home and to stay hydrated for those on the ground!

🚨🚨From our special NostReporter🚨🚨 #[0]
🇨🇷🫶Nostrica Day 2!🫶🇨🇷
Say hello to your favorite med school dropout turned on-site correspondent!🫡 Here at #Nostrica, we have spent the day watching some of the most brilliant minds in our time share their thoughts, and I mean, wow! What a blast!
The day started on the main stage with a talk from #[2] , founder of #[3] . I never cease to be amazed by how eloquent John always is. He is a reporter at heart, and it shows. John explained how MPB started teaching in 2021 with one student, my beloved #[4] . Today they have over 10,000 graduated students, mind-blowing!
Education is crucial, and Mi Primer Bitcoin is doing a kick-ass job. If those numbers aren't proof, enough rumor has it that, thanks to his words, no coiners became whole coiners after his talk was over.
Thanks, John! Education is a pillar for adoption, and we appreciate that you took the lead.
Day two also brought #[5] onto the stage after a few days of not knowing if his voice would come back, Nostrica magic did its thing, and we heard him give a history class that if you were a newcomer to nostr, you would think this has been going on for years, please listen to this cool voice note I got from him (taking this reporter job very seriously, I am even walking around recording the thoughts of plebs).
Commercial break in this report to thank all Damus Devs today! They met for the first time, and we got a little proof-of-picture for all of you! (check it out! Photo via #[6] ) Thank you, guys. All of us iPhone users are grateful for your work.
To close my day, I was at the workshop stage, Nostr for Non-Devs, by #[7] . Here I go again; thanks! You crushed it. As a Non-Dev, Non-Tech, and now thanks to the NostReport, I am apparently a content creator. You helped clear my doubts. I am sure I wasn't the only one, and to quote you, "Nostr is not social media."
And to wrap it up, I want to thank all the volunteers at the gate yesterday and today. I know it is a time-depleting job, but all of you nailed it and kept the flow on point; please DM me if you've been at the gate these past few days. I want to come back tomorrow and give you a proper shout-out!
I hope all of you are having fun, wether you are watching the live stream or with us on-site. We truly appreciate having your company and can't wait to see you again tomorrow!

Pura Vida!

🎙️Quote of the Day🎙️

“I’ve attended countless technology and industry conferences in my career. Nostrica is different. This is something special and unique. It’s simultaneously optimistic, authentic, forward thinking, and at the same time pragmatic and humble.
It’s refreshing to be in a space with builders and not have the conversation frowned out by corporations and VCs.
What an awesome community.”

🌴Florida🌴 Gov. Desantis announces legislation that would ban CBDCs in the state. The proposed legislation includes:
- Expressly prohibiting the use of a federally adopted Central Bank Digital Currency as money within Florida’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
- Instituting protections against a central global currency by prohibiting any CBDC issued by a foreign reserve or foreign sanctioned central bank.
- Calling on like-minded states to join Florida in adopting similar prohibitions within their respective Commercial Codes to fight back against this concept nationwide.

Uvita, Costa Rica - #Nostrica Day 3 Recap
By
#[1]
If anyone has seen my voice, please tell it I am in San José, and I need it.
With that small cry for help, let's get this recap started. First, I apologize for being late with this report. I promise it will be super juicy!
Let me begin by sharing a bit of myself with all of you, as I said yesterday during NIPs IRL. I've always felt like no one wants to hear what I have to say, but #[2] , who is THE MOST AMAZING videographer I've ever met, opened my mind a lot last night with her words. Therefore, I am here to share.
I grew up in a small town called Liberia, in the northern part of Costa Rica. opportunities don’t reach those of us outside the Central Valley as easily. Being allowed to be opinionated is frowned upon. Therefore, I never imagined having the chance to impact so many lives.
I do not lie when I say I pinch myself daily to ensure this is real. Watching all of you Nostriches come to my home, enjoy it, pack it up with such good vibes, and being able to talk to all of you is a blessing.
Having someone approach me and thank me for my work is not normal. It's even less normal to have gorgeous supermodels like #[3] ask me for my picture for their memories.
And after my chat with Nela, I will try to look less scared when things like this happen and embrace them. Thank you all for giving me a safe space to be myself.
And that was my short but sweet romantic “about me” section..
I've been spending the last few days taking mental and physical notes on what you guys would love to hear. Yesterday was a lot, but to me, a big shout out goes to those fish tacos. They had such a delicious green tomato sauce, ufff... please send the recipe.
Yesterday started with a big punch. You would think that on the last day, everyone would be tired and ready to call it a day; but #[4] was our moderator, and he just opened our closing day with all the feel-good energy needed to have a blast.
Meanwhile, on the workshop stage, we had Richard and Lee from #[5] talk about this beautiful creation of theirs we all got to experience. Let this inspire all of us to orange pill, EVERYONE. Tell them even in the jungle, bitcoin is the answer.
The day went by, and out of the blue, helicopter rider and bitcoiner of the world #[6] came to Nostrica. He and #[7] rocked the stage with a talk about the importance of Bitcoin and Nostr to keep citizens free and protected from CBDCs.
After that, lunch came, and for the first time ever, this girl was on a panel at a conference. NIPs IRL, an all women-powered discussion that covered several topics, from the importance of having a safe space to speak our minds as women, confidence, and even onboarding new content creators by telling them how easy it is to get value for value.
Everyone I had the opportunity to share that stage with, and all the questions we received from the audience, got me thinking of what else we can do and what is next to empower each other more. Thanks, #[8] , #[9] , #[10] , #[11] , #[12] , and #[13] . You are an inspiration and joy to be with.
#[14] , #[15] , #[16] , and #[17] did an audience Q&A and retrospective to close the day. A nice moment to come up with plans for Nostr and get to know each other even more. And after a tiny short break, NVK, McShane, Mads, Elidy, #[18] (remotely), and I had the honor of joining Jack on stage and doing a conference recap.
We were so happy to thank you all for your participation and to hear your suggestions for upcoming Nostrica's (maybe Nostril???) The following location is TBD. But inviting all of you to hold your own Nostr meet-ups and conferences. We appreciate your suggestions and will discuss all the notes and other stuff you gave us!
Again, thank you to everyone who made this possible. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to all the other organizers, Jack, the volunteers, and all the attendees (onsite and online)! As I said, we are all OGs it is our mission to bring more people on board and secure our freedom!
