March - NOSTRavaganza
This month we're focusing on NOSTR, a simple, open protocol that enables a truly censorship resistant and global social network.
Doors open at 6PM, programming starts at 630PM!
Social media has become the primary flow of information all over the world - and it happens to be broken. Censorship, spam, bots, ads, and proprietary algorithms have not only ruined the experience, but threaten freedom of speech and global communication.
NOSTR (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) has been dubbed the decentralized social media network with a chance of actually working. The NOSTR protocol just so happens to pair nicely with the Bitcoin protocol, and we've put together an Austin-based panel who were building and using NOSTR long before it was cool.
Join us and hear what these pioneers have to say about it (so you can be cool too).
As always, food and drink will be provided on a first come, first served basis. Make sure to RSVP so we can better prepare.
Stay connected via Telegram.
We'd like to thank Unchained Capital and Bitcoin Commons for sponsoring Austin Bitcoin Club.
