Tanja, this is a great idea, because it's needed and because it's what I've been working on since Prague. I just wish you weren't misrepresenting you're involvement in what I built and produced at BTC Prague.

Because of this, I am completely turned off by your actions and proposal. It's why I don't talk to you about it or respond to your emails. I'll be honest. I'm pissed off. Not because it's a replication of what I did. Not because it's taking credit for my idea and running with it too. Nostr is open and anyone can do this. (This is why I'm stoked on the booth initiative for Amsterdam. Those guys are killing it.) It's because of the representation of your involvement. Your proposals said you were involved in BTC Prague. This just wasn't the case at all. You were at the booth with your friends, taking selfies and chatting with one another. You didn't organize Dev Hack Day speakers and panels. You didn't work on the schedule for the booth or talks and panels. You didn't work with vendors. You didnt work with volunteers and developers to ensure attendance and that they had a place to speak to their customers and sell their goods. All of it. You just didn't. You know you didn't. You say you helped organize it, so what am I missing here? You didn't talk to people visiting the booth until the third day when I asked you to do so. Then you worked. Then you talked to people. Mostly about Satlantis, but that's fine. Maybe it started to click then? As you began to talk to visitors? Again, this all would sit right with me if you didn't portray yourself as organizing or working at the booth in the capacity that you did. You weren't part of the process at all.

I feel like my good nature is being taken advantage of here, I'm not impressed.

I'm glad you saw an opportunity and ran with it as I can't attend every single conference and do this at every single conference. Though, I'm going to try my best, I don't have the time or the funds right now to do this.

Good luck on replication of what I built. Truly. We need more of it. I hope you're successful and are able to join me on this endeavor. You may end up being better than I am at this since you have more experience organizing events as an event coordinator in your fiat job. Just please for the love of God be honest with your proposals. Proof of Work is all we have.
