Would people come if I help organize a nostrconf in Nosara Costa Rica?
Closest name to nostr I can think of. We’d need to have virtual access for nyms…

Saw that too
Open to it. Have to look at ease of getting there for folks. Nosara has a little more infrastructure for folks new to CR (and the name)
I know a lot who have been there but not sure who lives there
I would love to try. This would be highly motivational. I've always wanted to go there. This gives me a great reason.
I already have my ticket for Miami. Count me in for the Nostr meetup or whatever.
✅
This should absolutely be the name of the conference if it's in Costa Rica.
Me too! 😆
Make it not more than 1hr from the international airport or ppl waste too much time on travel.
Nosara is a 25m prop plane flight from San Jose, the international airport. Then like 15m drive into town.
I love a prop plane, but will increase cost for ppl
It’s about $160 round trip. Other option is rent car and drive but I imagine that’s around same price. Not sure about busses (long drive)

That’s cheap!
CR optimizes for tourism
Prob floater is even more fun
Smart
Would love to help with branding & storytelling. English & Español.
🤙🏼
yeah it doubles the cost lol. it went from $600 to $1200 for me. definitely can't do $1200.
there can be a pleb fund to help with transport?
The “Kind0” conference? I got the domains 😂
i love how all of the right people are showing up at the right time to get this going.
Love it!
Should be $160 round trip for prop from San Jose. Can look into shared charters too to minimize cost.
think bigger 😂
Can do private shuttle busses for <$100 round-trip per person.
ok. i was just looking at google flights. maybe there's a better option for local arrangements.
💯
this is more my speed. 🤝
epic, save $ and meet fellow nostristas 🤟
Costa Rica domestic airline. Scheduled and charter flights
Sansa airlines offers scheduled and charter flights in Costa Rica to main tourism destinations. Daily flights to Tambor‚ Puerto Jimenez and Quepo...
Yeah and the scenery is beautiful. You don’t want to be within 1 hour of the airport anyway, that’s the tourist traps. If you want to understand the pura vida vibe, you have to go deeper.
I’m from Costa Rica, I will organize plebs from San Jose to be there too
I’m sure the Bitcoin Cyclist (Eugenio) would help out, too!
That sounds awesome
Bitcoin early confs we’re very small and cozy, mostly because ppl thought we were insane
Bitcoin Jungle Map
Use this map to find businesses in Costa Rica that accept Bitcoin as payment.
StarLink + Cam, but maybe unconference style is better. No organized talks or workshops. More free flow.
I was just talking to my wife about both of us going and used the excuse that I could spend bitcoin there, reducing the amount of fiat we'd need to save to both go. 😅
🤙
you can fly via el salvador and cash out a bit via chivo atms (heresy I know, using atms to get fiat) 😆
a kind conference about notes and other stuff transmitted by relays
🤙
How many nostr related domains are you up to? Round down please.
I am just but a little pleb, but mid-March works for me. I'm unable to take off work at all in April and half of May. Then, we have the Bitcoin Conference in Miami in May. March seems like a nice lag time. 2 months to plan, conference, 2 months until the next conference.

noshoes 🦶🏼
🙋♂️
Ok. I’ll get to work on this. I’ll get a shared doc going so we can start organizing.
One or two
🤙 Nostr comes together.
Def happy to help
What’s a good name for the nostr conference?
Nostr Rica 2023?
Other ideas?
Thanks Jack! 💟
NostRica 2023!
Something tells me Norway - this place will be a rough one
Nice way of bringing both words together
nostrica
but plz sir, what about visas?
Costa Rica is heavily optimized for tourism. It’s > 10% of GDP.
What country are you from? CR is pretty open…
CostaRica.Org
Costa Rica Visa
A lot of Citizen the world over are very fortunate to have a passport that allows them into many countries but what about Costa Rica. You may need ...
oh no, I dont need one, but getting into the EU for many, is not easy (was responding to Norway bit)
Love it
🤙🏼
That would be awesome! What is the closest airport to fly to, to get to Nosara? Libera?
Perfect
Visas are one thing, travel expences another.
*NostraVida* 🤙🏽
Fly to San Jose. Bus to Punta Arenas, stay the night. Ferry to Paquera. Bus to Montezuma bc it’s Montezuma! Head to Nosara from there.

We will be in bitcoin jungle
I know right
feels like everything is happening simultaneously
🫂
Y’all… tomorrow kicks off @nostrica month! A lot is happening between 1/19 and 3/19! #[0] …Possibly most proud of getting two passports renewed in this time frame 😮💨
zap ⚡️ thanks for all your hard work on this #[2]
Where's the registration?
I can help with event design 🔥
Nostrarica is way digestible 😉
Is this only for entry into US or does it work if you are going into other countries?
How about scholarships, sliding scales, and volunteer options or were you thinking just cost of getting there? NostraRica meetup?
I can set you up with the absolute best/nicest local team. Done several epic intimate interaction design + biodiversity events there with some of the worlds brightest. See

I think it would be a great thing to do. My first instinct was to suggest something more centralized in the US but, of-course, all blockchain tools need to be leaving the US as soon as possible so in reality somewhere like Costa Rica is good. What about El Salvador? They are friendly to our movement. Costa Rica seems neutral at best.
think we need a Londstr event! when was the last time you were in the UK?
Call it Nostrara Conference!
People will come.
Sure!
I love Costa Rica. But, no time to go there now.
do you provide accomodation? uvita is very expensive

Thank you for choosing Pura Vida's inception land 🤙
Can't wait for #nostrica #[2]
✌️ 🕊️
I will ! 💯⚡️
hi jack@cash.app! How many people ended up attending this?
I am sad I came late to the party and didn't get to be involved in this co-creative process. ;)
Just digging through the archives here, about to write copy for the next unconference.
