quoting nevent1q…ph9kTanja, this is a great idea, because it's needed and because it's what I've been working on since Prague. I just wish you weren't misrepresenting you're involvement in what I built and produced at BTC Prague.
Because of this, I am completely turned off by your actions and proposal. It's why I don't talk to you about it or respond to your emails. I'll be honest. I'm pissed off. Not because it's a replication of what I did. Not because it's taking credit for my idea and running with it too. Nostr is open and anyone can do this. (This is why I'm stoked on the booth initiative for Amsterdam. Those guys are killing it.) It's because of the representation of your involvement. Your proposals said you were involved in BTC Prague. This just wasn't the case at all. You were at the booth with your friends, taking selfies and chatting with one another. You didn't organize Dev Hack Day speakers and panels. You didn't work on the schedule for the booth or talks and panels. You didn't work with vendors. You didnt work with volunteers and developers to ensure attendance and that they had a place to speak to their customers and sell their goods. All of it. You just didn't. You know you didn't. You say you helped organize it, so what am I missing here? You didn't talk to people visiting the booth until the third day when I asked you to do so. Then you worked. Then you talked to people. Mostly about Satlantis, but that's fine. Maybe it started to click then? As you began to talk to visitors? Again, this all would sit right with me if you didn't portray yourself as organizing or working at the booth in the capacity that you did. You weren't part of the process at all.
I feel like my good nature is being taken advantage of here, I'm not impressed.
I'm glad you saw an opportunity and ran with it as I can't attend every single conference and do this at every single conference. Though, I'm going to try my best, I don't have the time or the funds right now to do this.
Good luck on replication of what I built. Truly. We need more of it. I hope you're successful and are able to join me on this endeavor. You may end up being better than I am at this since you have more experience organizing events as an event coordinator in your fiat job. Just please for the love of God be honest with your proposals. Proof of Work is all we have.
The full post for those going through this thread.
Damn did not like this comment section at all, this got toxic. I get it, sometimes comments can get under your skin. My wife's Latina, and I've seen this rage before 😂. I think her main point was that someone was talking behind her back while acting friendly to her face, but somehow it got sidetracked to accusations of only using sex appeal and name calling. Derek from my interactions with him has always been stand up dude. However no one is perfect. I get mad at dumb things all the time that people from the outside wouldn't understand either. From the outside looking in something triggered him about the whole thing. It probably wouldn't be something that bothered me but everyone is different. Nostr is for all, he at least wished success. Best we can do is move forward and do the best we can to push Nostr and freedom tech forward. Nostr for all, to each their own on how they go about it. I am glad people are learning the apps and willing to show up to conferences to show others. The more the better. The apps and tools keep getting better too 💜.
