The Dev Community for Nostr in Nostr #devstr #devstrNews https://devstr.org

Bitcoin 2023 Day 2 Highlights Kennedy announced support (detailed and well-researched) for Bitcoin. Surprisingly, he is not a great speaker. Lightning was a key focus everywhere; in sessions, exhibits, and the food court. Very few mentions of Nostr in general sessions. The one big Nostr session was standing-room only. Cool mini-apps from PABLOF7z. His NDK should be huge. Dave on Damus from Will Casarin sounded interesting, hinting at big opportunities for personal AI bots in Nostr. Saylor also focused on lighting as a big focus for corporate reward programs. Jack Mallers announced the launch of Strike to 6 billion people in 65 countries. And support for Nostr! #devstr https://devstr.org

Looking forward to tomorrow's sessions and to tomorrow as a topic. Maybe some more thoughts and possibly coherent observations tonight after a few drinks. Bitcoin2023 #devstr http://devstr.org Please follow our Live coverage of Bitcoin 2023

Whoever thought an entire afternoon looking back on what happened would be even remotely interesting? It wasn't. Bitcoin should be all about tomorrow. Bitcoin2023 What Happened sessions? #devstr http://devstr.org Please follow our Live coverage of Bitcoin 2023

Not great programming this afternoon for a $10,000 Whale Pass. Plebs to the pool, whales to the beach. Bitcoin2023 #devstr http://devstr.org Please follow our Live coverage of Bitcoin 2023

A bunch of 'What Happened' sessions this afternoon. I think many people will be sitting by the pool this afternoon. Bitcoin2023 #devstr http://devstr.org Please follow our Live coverage of Bitcoin 2023

Up Next: WHAT HAPPENED: CREDIT & LENDING MARKETS Wow. Totally disinterested in a look back. What purpose does it serve? We are taking a break from our live coverage... Going to lunch and then sitting by the pool. Bitcoin2023 #devstr: :http://devstr.org: Please follow our Live coverage of Bitcoin 2023

I watched it, but not much interesting. Sorry Audiences have seemed subdued. And no mention all morning of anything Nostr..... Did anyone hear anything? Best panel comment from Guy Swann.
