2024-06-04 18:33:55I'm using a Blossom (Nostr) mediaserver (which I'm hosting at https://nosto.re) for the images here
From May 23 till May 25 I was in the Bitcoin capital of The Netherlands: Arnhem. There was a full program around the conference day on Saturday. I and many other bitcoiners gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of #bitcoincity Arnhem.
Playing the Blockhunters board game
It was very honourable to play with one of the first prototypes of the boardgame Blockhunters developed by nostr:npub1w98ems6ryhpv7zvmhwp5sv65p0pwrnvzw4lucn0ch776qan9ntdstscwpx . https://nosto.re/8c7d74c21ad9c11e28603b858ccbd475ab9943f7eeb1e49eed5c2b99c203108a.jpeg https://nosto.re/87dae83210f903e8c2f89b41951c86240a5e3ec50dd236321f8b87401a8863eb.jpeg
Nostr meetup: Nostrdam Arnhem
A nice small present from nostr:npub1l77twp5l02jadkcjn6eeulv2j7y5vmf9tf3hhtq7h7rp0vzhgpzqz0swft and meeting nostr:npub1cn670f663n3ks02jnnlsvd5y88zjnefy8343ykaxs7y3nzzketrsrjwt8a in real life from btcmap.org. A project that deserves some Nostr integration (which he agrees with!). A gift from Bitpopart together with nostr:npub14mge80nm5r0zj0gncxvpunlr28jyku95547q0m82ec475x3yy92skvjgm5 (who organised Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem), nostr:npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 , nostr:npub1gwa27rpgum8mr9d30msg8cv7kwj2lhav2nvmdwh3wqnsa5vnudxqlta2sz in the middle and nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 . I'm on the right ;-) https://nosto.re/8cb4980119cc8e8dbdfe8efa724479489360e60fb4362ef47497279506c128ff.jpeg
Gravel at the Veluwe
On Friday morning I enjoyed a 70km gravel ride on the Veluwe to Radio Kootwijk and back. https://nosto.re/572277c4205928b45fd3fb0791ec9cf52d8ef1c74a2b20f7b72698aae7ee78a8.jpeg https://nosto.re/f5aa2092c9f79ba347925e85e27a0ac612da0193bdd7097d0cde287c8a185007.jpeg https://nosto.re/4202469b0146242f71a6a3bfb5f18884006da9ed84b76abcdfffa2c340d92fd4.jpeg https://nosto.re/513706b6ff1ff6e51db07f8915e3b3fec7f7f115d3ea3ef9a4a5d230b5c738cb.jpeg https://nosto.re/332e6593e2ae6276023645ecb44efdeebe6b8c6bc6ba06612b34d3ec496eec92.jpeg
Bitdevs meetup
In the afternoon I attended the Bitdevs meetup. It was my first time and I expected a lot of technical stuff to be discussed. This wasn't the case, all conversations were led very professionally in an easy, understandable way. Also, the Silent payments (https://silentpayments.xyz/) feature was introduced to me. A very interesting feature integrated in Bitcoin recently which I would like to dive in later.
Meeting the Noderunners community
On Thursday I got a nice pin from a Noderunner community member. The Noderunners are a community with 200+ bitcoin-only minded people. I already knew some of them, but every time I attend a Bitcoin event I always learn to know new people who are often also members of that community. During the Bitcoin Business meetup on Friday night, I also met a new Noderunner who was also camping at the same site as me. He was literally standing beside me with his tent! https://nosto.re/28136548ea576d7f1c4fc6acc195330e4b7f59c51c008b218afa6fc318d58234.jpeg Noderunners on stage https://nosto.re/9620b7cc7389ef01a3d3e69d9f175873ecb9e33b03baeceda92fce9295608bfc.jpeg
