    An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It by Kwinten

    Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is the simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.
    It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, and therefore it works. Oh and obviously it does not use a blockchain at all.
    This talk will give an overview of the features, the philosophy, the history of the protocol, and a live coding session to demonstrate how it works.

    Speaker: I’m Kwinten, born in 1994, physicist-turned-software-engineer from Ghent, Belgium. I develop backend software and infrastructure. I quite like writing things in Go and YAML, although I have worked with many languages, frameworks and technologies. I enjoy working with managed Kubernetes, Lightning Network nodes, and automating cloud infrastructure integration and deployment.

    I am a founding engineer of Alby, a wallet and platform for Bitcoin Lightning Payments on the web. My main area of expertise is the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
    In my free time I enjoy reading, participating in quizzes and bouldering.
