- 00:00 SPEAKER_01 So hello, proud to be here.
- 00:04 SPEAKER_01 First of all, let me ask you something.
- 00:07 SPEAKER_01 Kai, you are you are developer in Bitcoin ecosystem, right?
- 00:13 SPEAKER_01 Do you code mini script?
- 00:16 SPEAKER_01 No.
- 00:17 SPEAKER_01 Would you like to call mini script like today?
- 00:19 SPEAKER_01 Absolutely.
- 00:20 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, so who calls MiniScript here?
- 00:24 SPEAKER_01 Who would like to today know how to call the miniScript?
- 00:29 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, so this is what we do.
- 00:32 SPEAKER_01 We have a big problem that it's hard to understand Bitcoin script.
- 00:38 SPEAKER_01 MiniScript makes it simpler but still some thing difficult.
- 00:43 SPEAKER_01 And uh we have right now uh three uh13,000 uh bitcoin developers who are given so more or less.
- 00:53 SPEAKER_01 And also it's really hard to develop stuff, who codes know that debugging is like50% at least of the time you spend coding.
- 01:02 SPEAKER_01 So uh having a tool that you can easily code and debug and assist and explain the code that you have is something that uh every every uh programmer is having is using right now, but we don't have it in Bitcoin yet.
- 01:20 SPEAKER_01 We don't have this for mini script or anything.
- 01:24 SPEAKER_01 So we built it uh machine learning uh LM language learning uh language model that can uh do this.
- 01:35 SPEAKER_01 Uh can we can prompt it to give us uh mini script code, we can uh give mini script code and explains it code for us, it can you can give uh buggy code and it shows what is wrong in the code.
- 01:51 SPEAKER_01 And uh there's also uh an extension uh for for GoPilot.
- 01:56 SPEAKER_01 Like a GoPilot in uh so we can have you can it can complete the code for you.
- 02:05 SPEAKER_01 So yeah, and this is the beginning.
- 02:08 SPEAKER_01 This is the the road.
- 02:10 SPEAKER_01 What we intend to do after this is working because this is like the the low hanging route.
- 02:16 SPEAKER_01 After this we can go to to the actual script as well, and understand uh you can copy and paste the script directly from the blockchain to the block explorer and understand and tell us what what's happening there.
- 02:32 SPEAKER_01 And also not only this, we have also uh a pull program that we can uh understand how the code works.
- 02:41 SPEAKER_01 So when when you output the code, everybody could think okay, what if it's a hallucination.
- 02:48 SPEAKER_01 I don't want to to it's a loss.
- 02:51 SPEAKER_01 So we use the compiler to so to see if the code makes sense, and then uh a full program where you can use your finger like okay from here to here to here to here, okay it works, it makes sense.
- 03:05 SPEAKER_01 So and this is not only it's uh this this this uh the I just output the code and we can check in uh deterministic save, not uh code to check everything.
- 03:22 SPEAKER_01 So this is our group, our way for and Victor, unfortunately we couldn't be here.
- 03:29 SPEAKER_01 And so this is what we have we I'll show a little bit uh like one minute.
- 03:36 SPEAKER_01 So let me show you just a little bit.
- 03:41 SPEAKER_01 This is uh demo.
- 03:45 SPEAKER_01 So somebody has uh to write bitcoin code.
- 03:52 SPEAKER_01 It's a mini script, three out of three, the terms, uh two out of the case.
- 04:02 SPEAKER_01 Okay, let's go.
- 04:03 SPEAKER_01 So it's there the the first line is the code and there's an explanation of each part of the code for the mini script and there's a flow chart where you can you can uh go there and understand okay this is the key so check if it's being more than something some time of days it's another uh... uh you I can pause the video here.
- 04:30 SPEAKER_01 So you can if you have three keys check if three out of three, if it's more than ninety days then check two out of three.
- 04:40 SPEAKER_01 If yes you can spend, if not it does nothing.
- 04:43 SPEAKER_01 So you can get uh a code and uh like a flow chart that everyone can read and understand.
- 04:51 SPEAKER_01 So it's basically it.

- 00:27 SPEAKER_01 Welcome, Breno.
- 00:28 SPEAKER_01 So we're so happy to have you.
- 00:33 SPEAKER_02 How are you?
- 00:36 SPEAKER_02 Thank you very much.
- 00:37 SPEAKER_02 I'm honored to be here.
- 00:38 SPEAKER_01 Well, we're very excited to learn more about Minimaxy and yourself and your background.
- 00:44 SPEAKER_01 So we want to start right uh in the beginning, a little bit about your background, what you studied, uh, and tell us about mini maxi, your how did you start building it.com
- 00:58 SPEAKER_02 and the hackathon, and that that was kind of the journey to building this particular project.
- 01:54 SPEAKER_02 And when I when it came to2016, I went, I see it rising again. and I say okay, I won't miss the boat again.
- 02:02 SPEAKER_02 I I will take my time to study, and I I started studying, I created a company, uh, it was a crypto company at the time.
- 02:11 SPEAKER_02 And uh yeah, this is this is uh2017,2018.
- 02:17 SPEAKER_02 There Jimmy Song when came to Brazil, I could be uh a scholarship uh student of his.
- 02:23 SPEAKER_02 So I started uh learning, learning, learning, learning.
- 02:28 SPEAKER_01 And of course, right?
- 02:30 SPEAKER_01 You got a scholarship to to his courses, that's how it happened.
- 02:34 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 02:36 SPEAKER_02 Uh he um mercado bitcoin uh brought him brought him to Brazil to teach uh their employees, and uh and I saw his message on uh on Twitter saying, Oh, I I usually I gave one free seat, so I applied and I won, and I went there.
- 02:58 SPEAKER_02 Uh I flew to São Paulo and uh and I studied, and it was amazing.
- 03:03 SPEAKER_02 It it Jimmy Song helped me helped me shape my understanding of Bitcoin a lot.
- 03:09 SPEAKER_01 Incredible.
- 03:10 SPEAKER_01 Uh I we talked about this with Toragos, so I remember us speaking about that that that possibility for El Salvador as well.
- 03:17 SPEAKER_01 Breno, tell us what is Mercado Bitcoin, and also subsequently, what is Bpa?
- 03:24 SPEAKER_01 I know that both companies are pretty strong in Brazil.
- 03:27 SPEAKER_01 So if you can just tell us a little bit about that and how it relates to your story, that would be great.
- 03:32 SPEAKER_02 Sure.
- 03:32 SPEAKER_02 Uh Mercado Bitcoin is the oldest, uh, one of the oldest.
- 03:37 SPEAKER_02 I I think it is the oldest.
- 03:38 SPEAKER_02 It started in2013.
- 03:41 SPEAKER_02 It's uh the the oldest exchange uh in Brazil, and also the biggest of Latin America.
- 03:46 SPEAKER_02 They have some some other they have a company in Portugal as well.
- 03:50 SPEAKER_02 They are they are thinking about expanding.
- 03:53 SPEAKER_02 So this uh they my my my history with them is that. I I had an account when they they they they they they they they they they they brought me song here and I I went to the course I applied and I I got the scholarship so I've I've been closer to it and uh and some years later they hired me uh uh uh for unrelated reasons.
- 04:15 SPEAKER_02 I I I found out uh... uh company another exchange was falsifying wash trading.
- 04:22 SPEAKER_02 I did an analysis and they like me my data science skills, so they hired me for to do data science there.
- 04:30 SPEAKER_02 And uh Bipa is another Brazilian exchange, which uh I also really really really like fewer, no.
- 04:38 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, it's really it's uh it's it's uh newer.
- 04:42 SPEAKER_02 Uh I don't remember it's like just a few years old, and um, but Bipa is it was the first exchange to implement Lightning Network here in Brazil.
- 04:52 SPEAKER_02 Oh it was a really small company and it already implemented Lightning Network, so everyone got really really really excited, like wow, it's that this big exchanges cannot implement it, and they did it like this.
- 05:06 SPEAKER_02 So it was amazing, and uh now they they they they they they they they said that they are going to build uh uh wallet, a non-custodial wallet, especially for Brazilians, and so it's going to be everything in Portuguese, and they're going to use the seed words, the Bib39 seed words in Portuguese, which I'm proud to say that I was the one that with other people, but um, I I wrote them.
- 05:29 SPEAKER_02 Uh I chose the words and the rules for for the the Portuguese words.
- 05:34 SPEAKER_01 Can you explain what is BIP39 and and how it relates to why you would need to translate it to the people that don't know?
- 05:42 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, so when you when you have a uh... uh private key, a private key is just a random number, but when you have uh such such a big random number, it's really hard to remember uh... uh if you if you write it down and it it it erased some words some some some some some some some some some some some letters you you kind of uh uh can lose your funds it's really hard to to to back up so they created BIP39 which is uh a way that you instead of uh writing it down lots of uh numbers you write down uh uh12 words so you have12 words out of2048 and this is if you choose them at random which uh some the wallets usually do uh uh if you choose them at at random it can uh you can choose these these uh words and it can create uh private key so it's much easier for you to store to back up you can also even remember you can you can just like remember the words and don't have it written every anywhere and just go from one country to another without having any issue with people saying uh I I want to see what's in this pen drive or in this paper that you have it written so so so it's uh it's an amazing technology uh for us to to store our private keys and uh but they are in English like uh almost all uh wallets use the it it in English so if you are a Brazilian and you don't know English it will be much harder for you to yeah so so so we there is a uh... uh in bip39 there's uh some people that did uh lists of words in other languages in Japanese in French in Portuguese in Spanish so I was the one that wrote uh with other people it we wrote in Portuguese and uh and it works for all portuguese not only Brazilian Portuguese it works it's uh it's the same words for for Portugal Angola Mozambique and country that speaks portuguese and so bipa is gonna implement the version that you wrote so that it can be a completely Portuguese version at wallet is that the goal yeah that's it so exciting wait so I also understand you've been translating several other uh... uh materials to Portuguese tell us a little bit about that too.
- 08:10 SPEAKER_02 Yeah um I for the first one that I translated was um um was uh the Little Bitcoin book uh uh I trans I when Jimmy Song wrote it with the with the other authors in the in his alumni group hey I I think I'm thinking about translating it so I I knew someone and I I get it to translate to translate it and uh after that there's also um um um the the the Bitcoin standard which is arguably the... the best bitcoin book like everyone talks about it so I I I need I I I knew that I I wanted to be involved so I I was one of the two people that was uh translating and reviewing the translation they did in the book so I did this and uhtuguese and yeah with the author's approval yeah exactly they they they they they they they they they they they were all of them were were were were were were were were were were the were were done with the author's approval they are the official versions and you you can find all of them in Portuguese in Amazon so you can find the pequeno livre do bitcoin or padrão bitcoin and padrão fiduciário which is also from Seifadin nice Breno tell me now um a little bit about your experience with SATSCON and how you built the team what you were thinking like how did you decide on mini maxi like how that thought process came about with your team because I understand75% of the team uh members had never heard of bitcoin but they were programmers before like what what what what what what what what what what what was the breakdown of responsibilities and and how the team worked um
- 09:50 SPEAKER_01 And how the team worked.
- 09:51 SPEAKER_01 Um, it would be really cool to understand that particular angle.
- 09:56 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, um I I had I had some ideas.
- 10:00 SPEAKER_02 I I've been brainstorming, I like AI, I want it to be uh uh uh to build more projects using large language models.
- 10:07 SPEAKER_02 So I was thinking, oh, what can I do with large language models and bitcoin for this hackathon.
- 10:13 SPEAKER_02 And uh I was thinking about it, and then uh there was a price for for mini script, and I said okay, it's uh it's it's the lowest hanging fruit, and it's quite uh and I tried in in other I tried in chat EPT in Yama and other models, and and no... no one of those uh uh they they understood uh mini scripts.
- 10:35 SPEAKER_02 So okay, this is a this is a good thing to do because uh we like code assistance for people who code is they are very important, like people use it all the time, and uh we don't have this for bitcoin related code right now, especially for uh... uh these these new languages.
- 10:54 SPEAKER_02 Uh it's it's easier when you're working with a library in Rust or in Python or in C, because it they're languages that the the already the models already know, they don't know usually the the the libraries, the specific library, but they they understand the code, but uh mini script they don't understand, so they don't understand mini script, they don't understand simplicity, they don't understand contracting, they don't understand uh languages that we are building for smart contract in in bitcoin.
- 11:24 SPEAKER_02 So I I decided to do that.
- 11:26 SPEAKER_02 And uh our and the the the way that I met the people uh I I I never knew them before.
- 11:33 SPEAKER_02 I just sent a message there in the Discord app and said, Oh, I have this idea, and uh I I try to talk with people and to see what uh if I got some some some some some some some some some some some people to do and and and beloo, which is uh... uh which was one of my team. members he he just asked me back say hey uh I won lots of different hackathons I'll make you win let's go and uh so yeah I I don't have team members so let's go and uh and the will find the other people and and brought it together and no one of them knew almost anything about bitcoin so I I was mentoring everyone met each other all there or you had met Bellu before no... no all everyone there he sent me a message on Discord the day before and then on the day on the day I I've met them in in person and so two days of hacking you had mentors I remember there were some pretty outstanding people that traveled to Brazil for the hackathon and for to be speakers how was that experience with them also uh helping with the project or answering questions well it they they were crucial because I had no idea how to code in mini script so I need to I... I needed to understand how how how mini script work just to build the examples for for training the AI and to see if it worked or not and uh and all of this stuff so so I learned mini script like really really quickly and I uh they they they they they they they they they they they the mentors were fundamental for for this and then okay I... I learned this and I I I taught the the the my team members that they didn't know almost anything about bitcoin but they they they knew mini script before bitcoin before they knew bitcoin and and and uh and it was uh it was uh really fun and different uh it was uh a real challenge but it was really cool uh I think you are muted I cannot hear you
- 13:48 SPEAKER_01 John's behari are very very fabulous.
- 13:51 SPEAKER_01 Uh main idea and creator behind both pun has a question for you if you can see it on the screen.
- 13:59 SPEAKER_02 Yeah.
- 14:00 SPEAKER_02 So um smart contract for Bitcoin, they are in a way easier than uh than other altcoins, uh smart contracts, because they are not Turing complete, so you're limited in a way that you can you use.
- 14:18 SPEAKER_02 But the problem is that when you have when you write it, you write in a low level language.
- 14:24 SPEAKER_02 It's like you're writing for a computer.
- 14:27 SPEAKER_02 So it's this is this is hard for people to understand.
- 14:31 SPEAKER_02 So in Solana and Ethereum or other altcoins, you have um you you have solidity that you can write them in a higher level language, which is similar to Python or JavaScript.
- 14:45 SPEAKER_02 So for coders, there they're it's easier for them to to write and and change.
- 14:51 SPEAKER_02 Of course, there's lots of bugs, there's lots of problems with this approach, but they there's it's since it's similar to to popular languages, people can write it more easily.
- 15:03 SPEAKER_02 In Bitcoin, it's similar to assembly, which is a very low level language, which no one writes about.
- 15:10 SPEAKER_02 Like when you write in in when you write something in in Python, it translates python to assembly that the computer uses.
- 15:19 SPEAKER_02 So it's it's uh in mini script, it's a way so so you can uh create smart contracts in a higher level uh language, which is much easier to write and and use, but still it's still a little bit difficult, it's still complicated.
- 15:35 SPEAKER_02 Uh for someone that doesn't understand uh... uh scripts, mini scripts.
- 15:42 SPEAKER_02 It's it's uh although it's easier, it's still a little bit more.
- 15:44 SPEAKER_02 It's easier, it's still a little bit complicated, so that's why I build mini maxis.
- 15:49 Nice.
- 15:50 SPEAKER_01 We have a question from Lucas, our friend in right there.
- 15:57 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, uh, what did I learn on onboarding new developers on to Bitcoin?
- 16:02 SPEAKER_02 Oh, this is kind of uh difficult.
- 16:05 SPEAKER_02 There is uh there's a quite a lot of questions that arise, and uh most of them uh are like oh but uh so bitcoin is just like uh Ethereum, but a little bit different, right?
- 16:19 SPEAKER_02 So and and I I have to know though, it's they it kind of is, but not and uh so there's lots of nuance when when we're talking about um developers, uh especially developers.
- 16:34 SPEAKER_02 So I I believe that um what I'm what I'm trying to do with mini maxes.
- 16:39 SPEAKER_02 We of course we started with mini script because it's easier uh for only two days to build something, but um, what I'm trying to do for the long term is to have something so we can onboard really quite easily everyone.
- 16:55 SPEAKER_02 So you instead of uh uh okay, I I don't know, I don't even know how to start, you can write it down.
- 17:01 SPEAKER_02 I can even know how to start.
- 17:03 SPEAKER_02 Teach me mini script, and it teaches you right now.
- 17:06 SPEAKER_02 It already works if you say if you go to mini maxis.com
- 17:10 SPEAKER_02 and ask them teach me mini script.
- 17:13 SPEAKER_02 I don't know anything about mini script.
- 17:15 SPEAKER_02 It they it it gives you uh... uh onboarding uh a general idea and give gives you the the uh... uh the the basic functions so so you can start uh pretty easily.
- 17:27 SPEAKER_02 And uh when I when I was trying to to learn mini script, there was even the the the documentation is not bad, it's really good, but um I I still was very confused, even being such a long time in in uh in bitcoin ecosystem. there was lots of difficult uh things so I hope that uh when people start using uh this these these these these these these these these these these code assistance I can record some of their questions and uh and to use it to train it and make it better to understand all of different nuances and questions to for onboarding and and making really easy and making everyone productive I remember uh from your pitch that you said how can I trust in mini maxi if AI can hallucinate can you explain that yeah sure uh when you're when like when you're using uh... uh large language model uh there is one guy that said they are dream machines so so they uh they they they all everything they do is hallucinating this is the their purpose to hallucinate so so so they are kind of predicting the next token they are ellucinating you you you ask for for a question and they invent something so uh so but we try to make these hallucinations these dreams uh more close to reality and close to what we really want so uh uh uh since they are like predicting and like just like your auto correct you can just tap the... the center one and generate a whole sentence yeah it generates something and uh but this for when you're coding it's okay because you run in your tests and you see if it works or not but if you're dealing with money it's much more complicated you can you... you don't want at all to make uh contract yeah a mistake in your in your with your money so uh to fix this I had this idea is a little bit older but uh I I this is I... I learned this with uh tech
- 19:40 SPEAKER_02 I i i learned this with uh taproot in taproot you can you can encode a contract in a tree in a Mercury tree.
- 19:48 SPEAKER_02 So if you can encode in America tree, it can be a flowchart.
- 19:51 SPEAKER_02 And uh and I had this okay, I can use I can build a flowchart uh code that transforms this in a flowchart.
- 19:59 SPEAKER_02 So it's really easy and simple for anyone like using your finger and say okay, I need three keys and check just two of them, and so it you can you can see what it generated, and it's not AI made, so you know that it's not hallucinating, you know it's true.
- 20:18 SPEAKER_02 What do you what you put there.
- 20:21 SPEAKER_01 So this is why you have a B5 award, right?
- 20:25 SPEAKER_01 Because it is smart contracts, but it's about your money, so it's so important to make sure that we have these tools.
- 20:31 SPEAKER_01 Um also asked, can you say what you see is smart contract tooling for bitcoin scripts in five years?
- 20:39 SPEAKER_01 Like if you had a magic one and you could uh figure out what's next.
- 20:43 SPEAKER_01 What do you think you would say?
- 20:45 SPEAKER_02 Well, it's uh it's a little bit hard to predict this kind of stuff, but uh since we... we even have Bit VM right now, I I think like we... we are we we we have we'll have some things that we cannot even imagine like uh... uh I I'm working right now I'm continue working with mini maxis to make it uh make it really simple for anyone to code, not only in mini script, but also in regular script or... or any other bitcoin related languages, be it RGB or uh taproot assets or whatever.
- 21:24 SPEAKER_02 So I believe that in in five years, uh it will be very easy.
- 21:30 SPEAKER_02 We you just have like uh a uh uh screen where you can talk or you can type and you say okay, I want to do uh a wall.
- 21:38 SPEAKER_02 Okay, I want to do uh a wallet.
- 21:40 SPEAKER_02 I want to do I want to create something like this, and it creates uh the the a scratch of your idea, and you can uh edit it with just simple English without needing uh uh so so of course there is uh there you need to be careful uh and I want also I hope so I hope I can do it to uh... uh to have the the the disclaimers and uh to to bring the the the awareness and responsibility on the security of what they're coding, but uh I think that it will like they they they they they they they they they they can okay from I I work in I don't know I work in finance and I want to do this in in a smart contract in Bitcoin I don't know how to code he put there and he gets what he wants uh I think it in five years we'll have that Breno tell us a little bit about spirit of Satoshi, how does your project fit into that, and then I also saw that you had a roadmap uh of like what you want mini maxi to look like in a few years, like what is your roadmap, and I wanted to ask you uh do you think like I know you had two days to code in SATSCONF, but how did participating in the tournament which was longer and had different requirements, how did that help you, your team kind of think ahead and think about what's next for you guys?
- 23:06 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, um the roadmap, uh the the the roadmap is really it was really close to the one that I presented in SatsConf, and actually uh most of it was was was thought about with Bruno.
- 23:20 SPEAKER_02 Bruno, which was one of our team members, he he thought yeah, Bruno is one of your team members.
- 23:27 SPEAKER_01 Bruno, yeah, the one that's a bitcoin core developer.
- 23:32 SPEAKER_02 No... no.
- 23:33 SPEAKER_02 He's not a Bitcoin core developer.
- 23:35 SPEAKER_02 No, no, no.
- 23:36 SPEAKER_02 Bruno works uh
- 23:36 SPEAKER_02 so Bruno works uh he sells insurance he... he doesn't know he he he he knew almost nothing about bitcoin until until sat confirmed but he's a really clever guy for for business so I I told him okay this is what we do this is some of the things that we can do later on and also Belo and Victor also had uh good ideas for for example uh instead of having just a chat uh we can build an extension for VS Code and like a co-pilot and other stuff like this so it was a uh a uh a uh a uh a uh a really team effort and uh Bruno said okay uh he wrote it down and I just check it like okay uh the just cross no solana no etherea no and lightning yes so so it was mostly his ideas uh of what to do next I wasn't I was uh at the hackathon I was not thinking about roadmaps at all and uh it it it's uh it's great they uh... uh we... we want like the... the logical step after mini script is script so after uh... uh after uh considering like complete the mini script one uh we... we just we... we have this MVP alpha version in minimaxis.com
- 25:05 SPEAKER_02 uh uh soon we will release in spirit of satoshi which is the company I'm working now Spirit of Satoshi is a company that um we are building AI uh uh uh for bitcoin AI for bitcoin so uh spirit of satoshi is also the name of the first product the first uh which we were working so we have uh spirit of satoshi ai you go there and you can ask anything about bitcoin and it will answer and uh we... we created also uh custom gpt which is called satoshi gpt you can if you have a premium account and oh in open ai you can use it uh uh uh this uh custom this satoshi gpt you can ask a lot of stuff it's it's amazing you can you can ask uh uh how many transactions were in the block number blah you you can you can ask i i i have this transaction is it confirmed it's not confirmed you can uh you can ask i i i live in brazilia where can i buy bit something using bitcoin around me and it looks in bitcoin map.org
- 26:13 SPEAKER_02 and brings the the the it so it's it's just recommend by white you got cut off for a second i live in brazilia where can i buy where can i buy launch using bitcoin got it so it searches uh bitcoin map.org
- 26:29 SPEAKER_02 and it uh and uh and it brings it back okay you live in brasilia so this is the... the top places in brazilia that you have there you can but you can buy there using bitcoin so it it can you... you can ask almost anything uh from from from from from from from from from from from on chain data to to where can i buy stuff to uh... uh explain this this this this concept of uh economics or of bitcoin or whatever it's uh it's an amazing product that we did and uh right now and after the the the hackathon which was uh one my idea i i i told him okay i did this people loved it and i think it's really useful so you can uh uh you can use we... we can get it inside uh spirit of satoshi and uh we can target uh uh like bitcoin companies who who who use develop every bitcoin companies have developers and they most of them they need to to to deal with bitcoin code with bitcoin contracts so this it would be awesome and i... i but learned yeah so now I'm leading this project inside spiritual Satoshi got it and so we have a hub up so that people can see um can I ask you uh what regarding the the the hackathon in the tournament that you participated are there any projects that you uh really liked admired thought they could integrate with your app or not um tell us a little bit about what you felt uh and how you valued uh the experience of building in public with other teams like the ones that you saw yeah uh well it was great it was amazing uh like to have so many people rooting for us it was uh really uh a really cool experience like every like people helping us mentoring us and uh generally rooting for us and supporting our project it was really cool um uh uh there was so many cool projects there uh... uh one of them the1010 one I've been watching them for more more more more more more more more more more more than a week a year year already so I was uh really excited I knew he they they they were going to be in the top three because they their their project is amazing and uh they told me that uh they they they they they they they they they they they did it in mini script so our uh mini maxes would be very useful for them so I hope I can talk to them uh a little bit I remember the ceremony he filip told you right yes yes exactly so there's also the uh there's a oh will will we there was also very other lots of others like ebbot which were an AI for for for telegram so maybe we can uh speak with Abbott and use our... our like overpowered uh... uh AI to... to connect with them
- 29:30 SPEAKER_02 A AI to connect with them so they can have like really the top notch answers for for community questions.
- 29:37 SPEAKER_02 And uh I I believe that there's uh so many too much lots of space to integrate with lots of people.
- 29:45 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, play BI also.
- 29:50 SPEAKER_01 They're doing amazing things.
- 29:52 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, they're doing amazing things.
- 29:53 SPEAKER_02 Yeah, play BI, as I remember, is uh it's kind of a marketplace.
- 29:58 SPEAKER_02 So we could put uh mini maxis there, that we could could put spiritual Satoshi there.
- 30:03 SPEAKER_02 So it's um I I think there's lots of room to collaborate.
- 30:08 SPEAKER_02 I need to watch everything again because it's so many information, so many cool things.
- 30:13 SPEAKER_02 Uh but yeah.
- 30:15 SPEAKER_01 Well, just it's really cool that you mentioned10101 because they actually were born thanks to bold fun.
- 30:22 SPEAKER_01 They participated in a hackathon a couple of years back and did well, but didn't win um any prize that was uh like uh and so uh then because they liked building in public and had a very good experience because uh testing their ideas while they were building versus you know when you do it all alone in your cave in your hole, and you don't have input, you don't get user feedback.
- 30:47 SPEAKER_01 I think that's one of the things that Philip mentioned made a big difference for their experience, and that's why they came back to hack with us again because they realized the value of hacking in public, building in public, and they got into the wolf um accelerator, and now they have this new product, which is what obviously, as you know, there's rules to participate in our hackathons, and one of them is that whatever you build has to be a new product that's built during the hackathon.
- 31:13 SPEAKER_01 We don't judge you on the past, we only judge you on the new product that you're presenting um through the hackathon.
- 31:19 SPEAKER_01 So it's kind of cool to see how they've evolved that they were from Bold Fun, grow grew and came back.
- 31:26 SPEAKER_01 So hopefully we can see the mini maxi team next year. as well and get an even bigger, better, cooler award.
- 31:33 SPEAKER_01 Um we really uh appreciate you being here.
- 31:37 SPEAKER_01 If there's anything that you want to ask our audience to do, like what is your last thought to say, hey, can you please help us this way, or can you please support the project XYZ, maybe writing or commenting on GitHub.
- 31:51 SPEAKER_01 What would you like for us to ask the audience to help you with?
- 31:54 SPEAKER_01 And how can people find you online to tag you or comment or ask you questions?
- 32:01 SPEAKER_02 Okay, um, I'm mainly on Twitter, so you can uh see me on Twitter at at Breno RB.
- 32:09 SPEAKER_02 So anyone can uh see me there can send me my DMs are open, so anyone who wants to chat and uh say anything.
- 32:21 SPEAKER_02 Um also um uh I'd like for for those who are excited about the project to take a look on the flowchart generator.
- 32:31 SPEAKER_02 Uh it's in our GitHub, Mini Maxis GitHub.
- 32:35 SPEAKER_02 It's all open source, and please use it.
- 32:39 SPEAKER_02 Uh see if it uh see look for bugs, uh if you want to improve it, let's let's do it.
- 32:47 SPEAKER_02 I I want to continue supporting it.
- 32:50 SPEAKER_02 And uh also um uh spirits of Satoshi, I think it's better it will be great if everyone could take a look.
- 32:59 SPEAKER_02 There's uh lots of stuff, cool, really cool stuff in spirits of Satoshi, which you can uh collaborate, answering questions there.
- 33:07 SPEAKER_02 There's a there's a space where you can uh collaborate and you get Satoshi's back for collaborating.
- 33:15 SPEAKER_02 So it will be it's it's uh it's a really good thing to to learn.
- 33:20 SPEAKER_02 You you learn a lot by teaching, so you you can help us train the model which will uh be better. for the community in general, and uh you you'll be learning a little bit better, you get some sets in return.
- 33:34 SPEAKER_02 So yeah, and uh right soon for for those who are in Brazil.
- 33:39 SPEAKER_02 Um I'm finishing a book, it's a basic big bitcoin book.
- 33:44 SPEAKER_02 We will be101 questions and answers about Bitcoin.
- 33:49 SPEAKER_02 It's kind of simple, but I try to bring new perspectives on on Bitcoin.
- 33:53 SPEAKER_02 So um if it will be launched only in Portuguese, but um if you know Portuguese, uh luckily people like it, and uh I can translate it to English as well.
- 34:08 SPEAKER_01 So yeah, well, thank you so much, and we just want to finish this conversation letting you know that through January we're gonna be offering a few free hours to all the finalists of um Legends of Lightning.
- 34:24 SPEAKER_01 So please hit up uh uh John's and I and our team, because we can try to help you out with whatever you're doing, UXUI, even uh the future of where you want this to go.
- 34:35 SPEAKER_01 We're happy to support.
- 34:36 SPEAKER_01 We actually just did an AI hackathon with Feddy Mint and Replit a few months back, so we can definitely connect you with a few people that can help as well.
- 34:45 SPEAKER_01 Uh, thank you again so much, Breno, for being here.
- 34:49 SPEAKER_01 Muito obrigada, uh, and we really look forward to seeing how your project grows and how the team uh continues to shine for next year.
- 34:58 SPEAKER_02 We hope to see you next year.
- 35:01 SPEAKER_02 Uh adorate, it was amazing.
- 35:05 SPEAKER_02 All this experience, it was like we learned so much.

- 00:26 SPEAKER_01 Hello, hello everyone.
- 00:29 SPEAKER_01 How are you guys.
- 00:33 SPEAKER_01 Do great.
- 00:34 SPEAKER_01 That was a bit anticlimatic.
- 00:36 SPEAKER_01 We can do this again.
- 00:37 SPEAKER_01 I don't know.
- 00:38 SPEAKER_01 Um, I think everyone's kind of like uh... uh exhausted now from the two weeks uh two months, not two weeks, two uh wish of it was two weeks.
- 00:47 SPEAKER_01 Um two months of um... um of hacking, building, ideating, sharing their knowledge, uh designing, developing, all of that.
- 00:56 SPEAKER_01 And um, we're finally here, coming to a close of the tournament, our second um legends of lightning.
- 01:04 SPEAKER_01 Uh we started this last year as um uh uh as a platform to um um help uh founders, uh makers from all over the world be able to launch uh their ideas and make it real uh... uh make it into a reality.
- 01:21 SPEAKER_01 We've seen some amazing success um from projects which won, which didn't win, which just you know used it as uh... uh a way to, you know, um uh push the development of their uh project forward.
- 01:37 SPEAKER_01 And um, yo, Philip, you know what I'm talking about.
- 01:42 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, yeah.
- 01:43 SPEAKER_01 Um but um but we're here again, and thankfully um, to uh Fulga Ventures, which was quite gracious to drop two point five bitcoin um on um on the price pool um for us again this year.
- 01:59 SPEAKER_01 Um
- 01:58 SPEAKER_01 For us again this year, um, we were able to set up this amazing event, and um we are with uh the10 uh finalists now, right?
- 02:08 SPEAKER_01 And uh we're gonna be doing some quick pitches.
- 02:11 SPEAKER_01 Um keep trying to keep it short on the five minute.
- 02:14 SPEAKER_01 Um, just want everyone uh in the community to see uh what amazing work uh these guys have been doing.
- 02:20 SPEAKER_01 We'll also be reaching out to some of you individually.
- 02:23 SPEAKER_01 You probably have been hearing from Dalio already for being on the Meet the Makers um uh uh series that we have where we'll do kind of like more one on one and kind of longer um um uh uh episode with you guys.
- 02:36 SPEAKER_01 Uh but for now, it's just quickfire to give people a flavor of the amazing stuff that uh you guys have been doing at Legends of Lightning.
- 02:44 SPEAKER_01 We're gonna be starting off with Bitcoin Connect.
- 02:47 SPEAKER_01 So I'm gonna get everyone else on um off of stage right now, and we will see we will start the the presentation.
- 02:56 SPEAKER_01 Uh let us go to see this there's no button if there's a button I could press the just like that.
- 03:04 SPEAKER_01 But now this is kind of like okay, okay, almost there.
- 03:08 There we go.
- 03:10 There we go.
- 03:11 SPEAKER_01 Bitcoin connect your first up.
- 03:14 SPEAKER_02 Bitcoin.
- 03:15 SPEAKER_02 No, something different, right?
- 03:19 SPEAKER_02 Hopefully, all right.
- 03:23 SPEAKER_01 Can you can you guys uh uh see my screen?
- 03:26 SPEAKER_01 Can you put it up, Chance?
- 03:29 SPEAKER_01 Awesome, amazing.
- 03:30 SPEAKER_01 So welcome everybody.
- 03:32 SPEAKER_01 Um just going to give you a quick rundown about what Bitcoin Connect is.
- 03:38 SPEAKER_01 So big with Bitcoin Connect, we're trying to foster Bitcoin adoption by providing the easiest and most seamless way for you to add big payments to your uh... uh web application.
- 03:51 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, um, we want to provide best in class payment.
- 03:56 SPEAKER_01 My best in class payment experiences, but we also want to support a wide range of wallet connectors, make it easy for users to bring their own wallets to web applications, and especially make it easier for developers because they are like the ones who need to integrate this stuff into their apps, right?
- 04:23 SPEAKER_01 How does this work?
- 04:25 SPEAKER_01 Bitcoin Connect is basically a library of web components that you can use with any front end framework there is.
- 04:36 SPEAKER_01 You can even integrate it into plain JavaScript and HTML websites.
- 04:41 SPEAKER_01 And you can use it to provide seamless payments for users in your app by literally just adding a few lines of code.
- 04:50 SPEAKER_01 All you need to do is fetch an invoice and uh call the launch model uh API, which will fire up this model on the right.
- 05:01 SPEAKER_01 And Bitcoin Connect handles all the complexity for you, basically.
- 05:07 SPEAKER_01 Um, so we take care of all the different connectors there are, whether you are connecting with an extension like I'll be uh Cyberd or others, uh whether you want to connect to uh with your own node uh using Nostor wallet connect, or even if you want to connect with OAuth APIs or mobile wallets, um, you as a developer have like one standard way of presenting uh payments to your users, and they can just yeah, simply um very in a very simple way pay them.
- 05:44 SPEAKER_01 So let's do a quick demo of of how this would look like in practice.
- 05:50 SPEAKER_01 Um, we just integrated all of these awesome things into the website.
- 05:54 SPEAKER_01 Some things into the website.
- 05:56 SPEAKER_01 So the website isn't just like presentation, but it's also using this library.
- 06:01 SPEAKER_01 And what you as a user do first is you connect your wallet, you will be presented with a wide range of options.
- 06:12 SPEAKER_01 We've uh recently launched mutiny integration.
- 06:17 SPEAKER_01 I'm gonna just use um an extension for now.
- 06:20 SPEAKER_01 Um you'll see this prompt.
- 06:23 SPEAKER_01 Um it will ask me to to fetch the balance, and within a second, you have connected your your uh... uh wallet to the to this website, and what you can do now is um with with a click of a button basically you can do payments, and all you need to do is click confirm.
- 06:44 SPEAKER_01 It will ask you again, depending on which connector you use.
- 06:48 SPEAKER_01 And the awesome thing about this is that it's also um working on mobile, so also in places where you don't have um the option to install a browser extension.
- 07:00 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, it's basically a super easy way, especially for new people, I think, um, to to add lightning payments without needing to care about all the complexity.
- 07:13 SPEAKER_01 We've also done mobile design, so it will work flawlessly also on on uh small screens where you maybe want to connect with your mobile wallet, um and we've also seen quite some integrations.
- 07:29 SPEAKER_01 Um, we've been very lucky um like working with these guys um just to name a few integrations.
- 07:36 SPEAKER_01 Um it's been integrated on sep.stream
- 07:39 SPEAKER_01 on hardware.news,
- 07:40 SPEAKER_01 septic, and no strudel, just to name a few.
- 07:43 SPEAKER_01 Um, we've received awesome feedback, and what like um made me most happy about it is that they told us hey, I
- 07:52 SPEAKER_01 But they told us hey, I I am uh surprised how easy it was to integrate this.
- 07:58 SPEAKER_01 So it doesn't matter whether you want to build an AI app, uh like some prompt based uh thing, whether you want to uh uh play a game uh create the game or even an e-commerce store or whatever, um it's just a few lines of code to add, and you can simply equip any website with with lightning payments.
- 08:21 SPEAKER_01 Um words about our further plans.
- 08:26 SPEAKER_01 Um we obviously want to push uh further wallet and app integrations, of course, but we also see this as kind of a blueprint for completely other platforms.
- 08:38 SPEAKER_01 So we're already thinking about like um native apps, how how you we... we could uh uh yeah leverage them to to integrate these things, game engines, um, and so on, and to make it even easier for you to get started um with this library.
- 08:55 SPEAKER_01 Uh we're currently um in the process of publishing some template libraries on Raphit, where you can simply fork projects um and have some cool startup projects, basically.
- 09:09 SPEAKER_01 Yeah.
- 09:10 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, that's that's about it, I think.
- 09:14 SPEAKER_01 Um if you want to learn a more uh more about Bitcoin Connect, check out our website.
- 09:19 SPEAKER_01 We have some docs up there, and if you have questions, like feel free to hit us up.
- 09:25 SPEAKER_01 Um we're we're more than happy to help and would love to get your feedback.
- 09:29 Thanks.
- 09:31 SPEAKER_01 Awesome, awesome.
- 09:33 SPEAKER_01 Our next um project is going to be um uh... uh Cascadier.
- 09:38 SPEAKER_01 I hope hopefully I'm saying that correct.
- 09:41 SPEAKER_01 Um uh Renee uh... uh Jacob uh Roland, that's amazing work.
- 09:46 SPEAKER_01 Umcle Jim, do you got uh you got any comments on on that presentation just before we
- 09:52 SPEAKER_01 I think it's great.
- 09:53 SPEAKER_02 I think it's great.
- 09:54 SPEAKER_02 I'll probably try to integrate it with my uh um I think better tooling for this type of stuff is very much needed.
- 10:02 SPEAKER_02 Um I think as big coiners, you know, we're so advanced technologically, we forget that we need to help you know new people get in easily, and I think this application this uh project is great for that.
- 10:13 SPEAKER_02 So thanks for your work, guys.
- 10:15 SPEAKER_01 It's we're definitely seeing kind of like uh like over the past couple of years, we've definitely seen this transition of like you know, um, some of the tools the developer um tooling were like really lacking, and now we have like so many different abstractions, lightning address, um web ln.
- 10:31 SPEAKER_01 Um, you know, like not now this um uh... uh Bitcoin Connect uh... uh thing that the that will allow developers uh uh to integrate um uh uh lightning into their apps and maybe you know I don't other hackathons, it's uh you know, like some junior high school hackathon or something, and we get like these devs just you know copying and pasteing web components because you know they're just learning HTML or something.
- 10:57 SPEAKER_01 So yeah, I really like this kind of uh stuff for the expansion of the field.
- 11:02 SPEAKER_01 Awesome work, awesome work.
- 11:04 SPEAKER_01 Um, um thank you so much, uh Roland and team.
- 11:08 SPEAKER_01 Um can you guys uh exit the studio?
- 11:13 SPEAKER_01 Uh you know, still everyone should, you know, these people have been working uh incredibly hard for the past two months.
- 11:20 SPEAKER_01 Um show them some love.
- 11:21 SPEAKER_01 Um check out their pictures on Bold Fun, and you know, share, share, share the stream so you know other people can see you know what the awesome stuff uh is happening in Bitcoin.
- 11:31 SPEAKER_01 They see Bitcoin is forward, but I don't think so.
- 11:35 SPEAKER_01 All right, I'm fantastic.
- 11:37 SPEAKER_01 How's it going?
- 11:39 SPEAKER_01 I'm good, man.
- 11:40 SPEAKER_01 I'm good.
- 11:40 SPEAKER_01 Stage is yours, buddy.
- 11:42 SPEAKER_01 Okay, can you see my screen?
- 11:44 SPEAKER_02 We can see it.
- 11:45 SPEAKER_02 Okay, fantastic.
- 11:47 SPEAKER_02 Hi everyone, I'm presenting on behalf of the Cascade.
- 11:48 SPEAKER_02 I'm presenting on behalf of the Cascader Data Buffets team.
- 11:51 SPEAKER_02 I am Uncle Jim21.
- 11:53 SPEAKER_02 Our team is myself, CM Druid on GitHub, and Coach Chuck FF on GitHub.
- 11:59 SPEAKER_02 We are based out of Pleb Lab in Austin, Texas.
- 12:04 SPEAKER_02 So I'm going to start off with an image.
- 12:07 SPEAKER_02 This is an unsettling image, which is a depiction from a novel written in1920 Soviet Russia about life in the future.
- 12:14 SPEAKER_02 It depicts a future in which all citizens live in a totally transparent housing and are fit forbidden from concealing anything from each other or from the authorities.
- 12:23 SPEAKER_02 The book is actually the first dystopian novel.
- 12:25 SPEAKER_02 It's called We by Yevgeny Zamiyatin, and it was heavily influenced both Orwell and Huxley's dystopian works.
- 12:32 SPEAKER_02 Now look around you in2023.
- 12:35 SPEAKER_02 The surveillance apparatus and development of AI.
- 12:38 SPEAKER_02 Can we really say confidently that we're not much better off?
- 12:40 SPEAKER_02 Can we really say that we're on a better path?
- 12:42 SPEAKER_02 It's arguable that we're worse off.
- 12:45 SPEAKER_02 Just a little bit about me, real quick.
- 12:47 SPEAKER_02 I'm an American libertarian, strong advocate for civil liberties.
- 12:51 SPEAKER_02 I've left many projects, including my fiat job over violations uh on ethical grounds, which were laid bare in both2020 and2021.
- 12:59 SPEAKER_02 I left and didn't look back, and now I'm focused on Bitcoin Lightning and other projects that align with my values.
- 13:07 SPEAKER_02 So let's cut into the problem.2023
- 13:11 SPEAKER_02 could be described as the year of AI.
- 13:12 SPEAKER_02 The AI revolution has been celebrated because of the many productivity gains that it presents, but also presents numerous problems.
- 13:19 SPEAKER_02 A perfect template of where I think we could head is just looking at Google.
- 13:23 SPEAKER_02 They went from a high quality product with a lot of promise in the2000s to an ossified general giant that is a centerpiece of corporate state swap partnership and surveillance.
- 13:32 SPEAKER_02 These are the corrosive effects of centralization, and I predict the same will play out with AI if we allow the tools to centralize and do not act to build parallel systems that are decentralized.
- 13:42 SPEAKER_02 We've seen this movie before.
- 13:44 SPEAKER_02 We'll face issues with privacy, censorship, denial of service. and monopolistic red seeking that will deprive us of the true potential to improve the human condition with AI.
- 13:55 SPEAKER_02 So what can we do?
- 13:57 SPEAKER_02 I say we need to build.
- 13:59 SPEAKER_02 But I think we need to not just be on par with centralized tech.
- 14:02 SPEAKER_02 We need to be better with our decentralized networks.
- 14:05 SPEAKER_02 The only way to do that is to take advantage uh of the and maximized the advantages from Bitcoin, Lightning, Noster, and other tools to provide uncensored, high quality, lower lower cost uh applications that truly tap into the free markets.
- 14:21 SPEAKER_02 We've engineered a new NIP called NIP105 or data buffets, and our our flagship client cascader around these goals with some great success.
- 14:29 SPEAKER_02 Nip105 AK data buff phase phase phase phase is a spec for users to discover, consume, and review API paid API services through Lightning.
- 14:38 SPEAKER_02 It's a simple, scalable, and decentralized in a way that removes rent seeking from as many stages of the process as possible.
- 14:44 SPEAKER_02 It uses NOSTR as the order book and lightning as the payment rails where clients can transact with service providers around the globe without revealing any any any unnecessary personal information.
- 14:55 SPEAKER_02 It creates an opportunity to decentralize and due to due to its decentralized nature creates tons of surface area for entrepreneurship to flourish.
- 15:05 SPEAKER_02 Let's cut into our flagship application Cascader.
- 15:08 SPEAKER_02 Cascader creates a decentralized marketplace.
- 15:11 SPEAKER_02 It is a client for consuming NIP105 data buffet paid lightning APIs.
- 15:16 SPEAKER_02 You can think of it like a Lego set for L402 or paid APIs.
- 15:20 SPEAKER_02 We offer numerous services, each of which is discovered on Noster and paid for anonymously with Lightning.
- 15:25 SPEAKER_02 You can get all the benefits of the AI revolution without surrounding your privacy from day one.
- 15:30 SPEAKER_02 We offer six wrapped L402 API services, which we packaged and built during the hackathon.
- 15:35 SPEAKER_02 These include a general purpose LLM, in this case it's chat GPT, AI image analysis, text to image generation, AI voice to text transcription, YouTube video extract.
- 15:44 SPEAKER_02 Description, YouTube video extraction, and data storage.
- 15:47 SPEAKER_02 There are two ways to consume services on Cascader.
- 15:50 SPEAKER_02 One is one at a time, as shown uh as I'll show later in our chat GBT demo.
- 15:56 SPEAKER_02 The other is with preset and user defined workflows that allows users to daisy chain work uh... uh L402s together in order to accomplish a specific goal.
- 16:05 SPEAKER_02 So let me just cut into a real quick demo.
- 16:07 SPEAKER_02 This is the application.
- 16:09 SPEAKER_02 I'm gonna do it kind of like a cooking show and show you uh the finished finished product, but um, this is one example that uses an LLM in order to generate a higher quality text to image prompt.
- 16:20 SPEAKER_02 And this was the result.
- 16:21 SPEAKER_02 So I asked I put in a very lazy prompt, just give me a landscape of Austin, Texas, and it came out with this.
- 16:27 SPEAKER_02 It filled in a lot of the gaps around the history and the landscape that result in a very high quality image.
- 16:34 SPEAKER_02 Likewise, I did another one, another workflow, which is uh where I take a YouTube video.
- 16:39 SPEAKER_02 I took this BTC sessions video and I plugged it in and wound up with this comprehensive transcription.
- 16:45 SPEAKER_02 So the way it works is that you just type in the YouTube video.
- 16:49 SPEAKER_02 We have a service that collects the data and then forwards it to the Whisper transcription API.
- 16:54 SPEAKER_02 We also have other services.
- 16:56 SPEAKER_02 Next, I'd like to demonstrate the individual consumption.
- 16:59 SPEAKER_02 So in this case, you can actually uh come in, use chat GPT uh anonymously and just um just use them one at a time.
- 17:08 SPEAKER_02 So right now I press the enter button and that will automatically prompt my Albi wallet to uh pay from a budget that I had already preset, and now it's calling the API endpoint.
- 17:19 SPEAKER_02 I asked that what is the lightning network and it came out with a pretty good and descriptive uh... uh response that helps educate me.
- 17:29 SPEAKER_02 So yeah.
- 17:31 SPEAKER_02 So so next I want to go over the roadmap real quick.
- 17:34 SPEAKER_02 So really I see it as three stages.
- 17:36 SPEAKER_02 The first stage is focusing on bringing more services online.
- 17:40 SPEAKER_02 We want to make a simple client for sellers to bring proxies for centralized. services, just like what you've seen previously.
- 17:46 SPEAKER_02 This knocks out a low hanging fruit by increasing the anonymity set of centralized services that are already pretty high quality.
- 17:52 SPEAKER_02 So what does it look like?
- 17:53 SPEAKER_02 We think it's something like an application you can run from start nine or voltage dashboard that connects to your node and lets you put in your API keys, set your price, and forget it.
- 18:01 SPEAKER_02 So you can stack sats for contributing to the anonymity set, helping your peers achieve privacy.
- 18:07 SPEAKER_02 The second stage, we will do major upgrades to Cascader to make it a great workbench for experimentation, building, learning, and shipping L402 endpoints and workflows.
- 18:18 SPEAKER_02 We'll have numerous UX improvements.
- 18:20 SPEAKER_02 Uh, we'll have new ways to discover new services, save workflows, and share workflows.
- 18:26 SPEAKER_02 We'll also have more ways to pay beyond web LN, maybe maybe even Bitcoin Connect.
- 18:31 SPEAKER_02 As much as we love Albion, we love Moritz, uh, we think there's some other ways that this UX could be improved.
- 18:37 SPEAKER_02 And we we're also going to ship custom workflows.
- 18:39 SPEAKER_02 We're going to make it so that instead of just having a static workflow like shown, we will you will be able to construct them and we laid the groundwork for that for an open source library that we'll be releasing for that as well.
- 18:50 SPEAKER_02 Lastly, and possibly most importantly, we want to help people bring custom LLMs and other tools to market.
- 18:56 SPEAKER_02 We want we see a huge opportunity for creating custom LLMs with domain expertise, and we want to give builders the services and resources they need to collect, store, and process data for training and fine-tuning of models, and most importantly, give them marketplace where they can reap the benefits of their hard work.
- 19:13 SPEAKER_01 Hey there, Uncle Jim.
- 19:14 SPEAKER_01 Uncle Jim.
- 19:15 SPEAKER_01 I'm gonna have to cut you off there.
- 19:16 SPEAKER_01 We have seven minutes now.
- 19:19 SPEAKER_01 But um, very very very awesome work.
- 19:22 SPEAKER_01 And um, you know, one thing that really stands out with this project, um is flowcharts.
- 19:29 SPEAKER_01 The the um uh... uh is that what you call it?
- 19:31 SPEAKER_01 The one where you connect the different yeah, because the next project that we have, meaning Max's that also has a very similar uh... uh kind of US.
- 19:42 SPEAKER_01 What did you think of the one minimaxes, Bruno?
- 19:45 Bruno.
- 19:47 SPEAKER_01 You're muted.
- 19:47 SPEAKER_01 You're muted.
- 19:50 Yeah, sorry.
- 19:51 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, super cool.
- 19:53 SPEAKER_03 I'm looking at I'm astonished.
- 19:55 SPEAKER_03 It's really cool.
- 19:56 SPEAKER_01 Project.
- 19:59 SPEAKER_01 Let's get your stuff up here.
- 20:00 SPEAKER_01 Let me see.
- 20:04 SPEAKER_01 We have your screen here.
- 20:05 SPEAKER_01 Do you want your screen or your slides?
- 20:07 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, the slides first.
- 20:10 SPEAKER_01 Okay, cool, no problem.
- 20:12 SPEAKER_03 Yeah.
- 20:12 SPEAKER_03 So hello everyone.
- 20:14 SPEAKER_03 First of all, I'm really really really really really proud to be here.
- 20:17 SPEAKER_03 It's like amazing to see all these crazy amazing, great awesome projects.
- 20:23 SPEAKER_03 And uh I'm really honored to be among every great one of them.
- 20:29 SPEAKER_03 Uh we are mini maxis, uh, we build uh this AI.
- 20:35 SPEAKER_03 And uh first of all, like uh let me ask you people who are watching us, like do you do every everyone like really like cypherpunks write code, right?
- 20:48 SPEAKER_03 Cypherpunks write code, but do you know how to write scripts?
- 20:54 SPEAKER_03 Um do you know how to write mini scripts?
- 20:56 SPEAKER_03 Most of people don't.
- 20:58 SPEAKER_03 So it's uh scripts are really hard to to write, and uh even mini scripts who are supposed to be easier, they are still not that easy.
- 21:07 SPEAKER_03 It's uh most of people don't know how to do it, even like experienced bitcoiners don't know how to how to code mini scripts.
- 21:15 SPEAKER_03 So this is what we do.
- 21:17 SPEAKER_03 Uh this is a way for us to support developers, uh Bitcoin developers.
- 21:23 SPEAKER_03 So we built this AI who is an expert on mini script.
- 21:28 SPEAKER_03 So if you go to any uh any AI over there, chat GPT or any other, and you try to learn a script, it will allucinate, we'll write an all.
- 21:38 SPEAKER_03 Hallucinate, we'll write nonsense code, and uh so we wrote something some bitcoin specific AI for for to support developers, but also to help people who are who just don't know uh uh uh they are not developers, but they want to learn.
- 21:55 SPEAKER_03 So they can go there and ask uh how how do I learn what are the basics?
- 22:01 SPEAKER_03 So it will uh uh teach you how to do it, it will teach from the basics, it can uh write uh mini script code that will do this and it will write for you.
- 22:11 SPEAKER_03 It will assist, it will correct the code as well.
- 22:15 SPEAKER_03 If you write something and you think it's wrong, so this is this is what we did.
- 22:20 SPEAKER_03 There's a uh really soon we're going to also make it as a need IDA IDE extension for for VS Code and something more like this, uh for co-pilots, just like co-pilots.
- 22:36 SPEAKER_03 And uh, but okay, um, how can I trust my money in mini script?
- 22:41 SPEAKER_03 How can I trust my money with this?
- 22:44 SPEAKER_03 So uh what if it hallucinates?
- 22:46 SPEAKER_03 So I we created these flow charts.
- 22:49 SPEAKER_03 Uh so every every bitcoin script can be it can be encoded as a Merkle tree in tap roots.
- 22:57 SPEAKER_03 So if it can be encoded in a Mirkle tree, it also can be shown as a flowchart.
- 23:02 SPEAKER_03 So I we... we can translate the mini script code directly to a flowchart, but also we can um we can simplify it.
- 23:10 SPEAKER_03 So this this code right here, it can be simplified to this other one, which is much simpler.
- 23:15 SPEAKER_03 It's exactly the same thing, but it's really easier to to check everything.
- 23:20 SPEAKER_03 So we'll look at the difference.
- 23:22 SPEAKER_03 It's uh much much much much easier to understand what what the code is doing.
- 23:26 SPEAKER_03 This is a lightning uh HTLC, so it's it's uh it's complex, but when you see here it's just like check this and that, it becomes much simpler.
- 23:36 SPEAKER_03 You can do it like running with your
- 23:36 SPEAKER_03 simpler you can do it like running with your finger through the skin screen so after this we can uh like right now it's uh it's ready uh alpha version of course we have to improve a little bit more but um and but it's already live in our in our website and then we can uh go further to um um make an expert in bitcoin script regular script uh also we can uh start including like lightning development kiting libraries uh bitcoin core uh libraries and implementations also rgb and other layer two solutions like tap root assets nostalgia and uh i i want to show you a little bit on uh how it's in our can can can can you show my screen now so this is uh if you if you can see right here uh you just input the input the code here there's uh there's another uh website here which I can share it right here is the it's just like chat GPT you can write you can ask here write uh... uh multi-sig and it will generate a multi-sig it it takes a while so I won't be waiting here for it for for it to show and uh but it's already showing hey teach me mini script basics so it's already teaching us how to do it uh in this screen if you can see it here it's already teaching how to write the basics of mini script and then when you get uh when you when you get the code you want you can put it here it's uh on the same website and it can plot the... the flowchart so with this you can uh you can check uh for sure it's if it's not allucination it's if it's not hallucinating and uh yeah so can you go back to my slides again, please?
- 25:38 SPEAKER_01 Sure, sure.
- 25:38 SPEAKER_01 Just uh just say we're on the five minute mark, but uh I'll give you a couple more seconds.
- 25:43 SPEAKER_03 Okay, so yeah, this is uh should I democratize this for everyone?
- 25:48 SPEAKER_03 It it will reduce the barriers to writing bitcoin related calls.
- 25:53 SPEAKER_03 Uh this is our team.
- 25:54 SPEAKER_03 I'm I'm the only one who actually uh uh uh knows uh uh every other one was an open coiner, so this year they're learning bitcoin for me.
- 26:03 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, they they they they they they they they they're they're really they're they're they're they're they're great, like they are learning so much, and uh it was amazing.
- 26:10 SPEAKER_03 Everyone learned a lot in this hackathon, and thank you so much for it.
- 26:15 SPEAKER_01 Thanks so much for participating, you know.
- 26:18 SPEAKER_01 Like I really appreciate it.
- 26:19 SPEAKER_01 Um, you know, that's uh... uh you onboarding like those devs who don't really know about Bitcoin is kind of like something that we really set out for in the beginning when we designed these tournaments and stuff.
- 26:32 SPEAKER_01 So it's really great to see like actually the new generation of developers coming in through a very practical route, you know.
- 26:39 SPEAKER_01 Um, let's build something together, you'll learn about bitcoin as you build.
- 26:44 SPEAKER_01 So really awesome job with the mentoring and um uh uh awesome work to your team as well.
- 26:49 SPEAKER_01 Uh Philip, how's it going, man?
- 26:52 SPEAKER_01 Hey man, hey Johns, how do you think about it?
- 26:55 SPEAKER_02 There, that is pretty cool.
- 26:57 SPEAKER_02 We've been using mini script for quite a while, and yes, it is really really hard.
- 27:02 SPEAKER_02 Like we were using it from the very beginning, and we were not sure whether it's our fault or whether it's just the library's broken or just give us some random error.
- 27:11 SPEAKER_02 So really appreciate the work on that.
- 27:14 SPEAKER_01 I think uh there's a collaboration that could work out here.
- 27:17 SPEAKER_01 Uh Bruno, like if you like if uh10101 uh needs like visualization for mini scripts and stuff like that, maybe you uh uh you... you know you can do some user testing on like new products that you're creating.
- 27:28 SPEAKER_01 Uh yeah, exactly, exactly.
- 27:32 SPEAKER_01 But uh check it out.
- 27:32 SPEAKER_01 Exactly, but uh check it out.
- 27:34 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, collaboration.
- 27:35 SPEAKER_01 All right, thank you so much, uh Bruno.
- 27:40 Thank you, Philip.
- 27:42 SPEAKER_02 What's up?
- 27:43 SPEAKER_02 All right, then I'll share my screen.
- 27:50 SPEAKER_02 Um entire screen.
- 27:57 SPEAKER_02 Here we go.
- 27:59 SPEAKER_02 All right, and there we go.
- 28:03 SPEAKER_02 Where are my slides?
- 28:04 SPEAKER_02 Can you see the slides?
- 28:06 SPEAKER_01 Yep, yep.
- 28:07 SPEAKER_01 Uh awesome.
- 28:08 SPEAKER_01 Yep, I feel sorry.
- 28:10 SPEAKER_01 Um, Breno, I'm really sorry you back to um.
- 28:13 SPEAKER_01 Could you like close the browser so then we can get some more people to come in?
- 28:17 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, you can you can watch on the YouTube.
- 28:21 SPEAKER_02 All right, let's go.
- 28:23 SPEAKER_02 Cool.
- 28:23 SPEAKER_02 Um it's an honor for me to represent the10101 team.
- 28:27 SPEAKER_02 Uh we've been building USDP, the first non-custodial USD on Lightning.
- 28:33 SPEAKER_02 Uh, we are a team of four four and a half spread over the whole world.
- 28:39 SPEAKER_02 Uh we are from South Africa to Australia to Austria, and I still don't know where SXPT69 is from.
- 28:47 SPEAKER_02 I think he's the rumor is he's just another AI, but we share the same core ideas, the same principles, they share the say we share the same vision.
- 28:56 SPEAKER_02 We believe that every user should be in control of their own keys.
- 29:02 SPEAKER_02 And oops, sorry, I didn't want to jump forward.
- 29:05 SPEAKER_02 And we believe that everyone should be able to manage their own risk, they should not be subject to counterparty risk.
- 29:14 SPEAKER_02 And that's why we are bitcoiners and we believe in Bitcoin, but the problem with Bitcoin is that bitcoin is so volatile that hinders its adoption, and in particular in certain countries like El Salvador, where you can pay with Bitcoin, people fall back to altcoins and use stablecoin.
- 29:30 SPEAKER_02 Altcoins and use stablecoins or custodial solutions, or they swap really fast back to Fiat because they cannot live with the volatility of Bitcoin.
- 29:41 SPEAKER_02 The problem is that there is no other solutions out there.
- 29:44 SPEAKER_02 And that's why we made it our mission to bring a USD stablecoin to Lightning.
- 29:51 SPEAKER_02 In fact, it's the first non-custodial USD or Lightning where there is no issue or there is no token, it's just sats and a little bit of cryptography.
- 30:02 And how does it work?
- 30:03 SPEAKER_02 A user holds sets in this10101 wallet, which is a lightning wallet, a fully non-custodial lightning wallet running on the phone.
- 30:12 SPEAKER_02 And then they swap into USDP, and while doing so, they engage in a CFD, which is a contract for difference.
- 30:20 SPEAKER_02 That's a or differently called a perpetual future.
- 30:23 SPEAKER_02 He basically sells a BTC USD future.
- 30:27 SPEAKER_02 Sounds complex.
- 30:29 SPEAKER_02 We made it very simple and very easy in the app.
- 30:32 SPEAKER_02 And in fact, he now is just stable in US dollar while only holding sats.
- 30:39 SPEAKER_02 And we made this position divisible and transferable so that now it feels like he has a stablecoin, but he can transact on the lightning network and pay invoices in a stablecoin, but it's transferred as sats over Lightning.
- 30:55 SPEAKER_02 And in the Legend of Lightning hackathon, we went from zero to hero.
- 30:58 SPEAKER_02 We started with just the concept and a quite basic ugly UI.
- 31:03 SPEAKER_02 We had two awesome calls with the Bitcoin design community who really showed us which direction we should go and really helped us to build the right product.
- 31:13 SPEAKER_02 We launched publicly, and I'm pretty sure some of our users are currently watching this.
- 31:28 SPEAKER_02 We had over thousands of non-custodial USB transfers over the over lightning.
- 31:35 SPEAKER_02 This is how our UI looked before the tournament.
- 31:40 SPEAKER_02 And now I want to give you a quick showcase on how it currently looks like.
- 31:47 SPEAKER_02 All right.
- 31:48 SPEAKER_02 You should now see two phones next to each other.
- 31:53 SPEAKER_02 On the left side we see a10101 wallet with has a bit of a history already, and on the right side we see a10101 wallet, which was just funded with900,000 sets.
- 32:11 SPEAKER_02 So he wants to be stable in US dollars.
- 32:18 SPEAKER_02 And on the left side, he has a lightning wallet with some lightning sets, but just four dollars of USDP.
- 32:25 SPEAKER_02 So first he wants to swap it to USDP.
- 32:29 SPEAKER_02 Let's say he swaps$10.
- 32:31 SPEAKER_02 And what happens now is he engages in a contract with a counterparty over the internet overall lightning channel, and now has$14 in his uh in his wallet.
- 32:46 SPEAKER_02 And he can then set it over lightning.
- 32:50 SPEAKER_02 So wait, let's have a quick look here first.
- 32:52 SPEAKER_02 He only has990,000 sets in uh in sats and no USDP balance, and we want to receive10.
- 33:05 SPEAKER_02 And what's happening is this is a just a normal lightning invoice, meaning the amount is set in uh sets, just the normal sets, and the user the sender says he wants to send it in USDP.
- 33:21 SPEAKER_02 We send it over lightning, the sats will arrive at the user's wallet, and then will be immediately.
- 33:26 SPEAKER_02 Wallet, and that will be immediately transformed into USDP, and bam, he received USDP.
- 33:35 SPEAKER_02 That's awesome.
- 33:36 SPEAKER_02 And we have the USDP in the wallet.
- 33:39 SPEAKER_02 Amazing, amazing.
- 33:40 SPEAKER_01 And the best way over the five minutes, so you were.
- 33:45 SPEAKER_01 But um the best part about this presentation is confetti.
- 33:49 SPEAKER_01 Roy, one of the judges from um Brief, he said users love confetti.
- 33:54 SPEAKER_01 So that's why we have confetti when you um upvote for a project on both one.
- 33:59 SPEAKER_01 We did confetti, so hopefully, yeah.
- 34:02 SPEAKER_01 Every lightning app needs confetti.
- 34:06 SPEAKER_01 Actually, we were planning on working on um a peak ship reply working on a library where instead of confetti, it's like bitcoin's just like never.
- 34:16 SPEAKER_01 That's a that's a hackathon project for somebody else.
- 34:19 SPEAKER_01 Um thank you so much.
- 34:21 SPEAKER_01 And um, you know, we have another wallet that's uh doing some really cool things, it is Coolie Coomely pocket.
- 34:28 SPEAKER_03 How are you doing?
- 34:30 SPEAKER_03 Great, great, really great.
- 34:31 SPEAKER_03 Thank you, yeah.
- 34:33 SPEAKER_03 Um, do you have another team member uh... uh on her or just yeah?
- 34:36 SPEAKER_03 Um yeah, it's just me.
- 34:38 SPEAKER_03 We have uh there's a lot of team members probably watching, so okay, just watching hey there.
- 34:42 SPEAKER_01 Uh what did you think about Phil's presentation?
- 34:45 SPEAKER_01 Uh we checked out the project.
- 34:46 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, it's pretty I I'm one of the users also, yeah.
- 34:50 SPEAKER_03 That I'm testing it out, of course, and it's yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 34:53 SPEAKER_03 Lightning magic, and I like uh like the I'm pretty excited about the DLC contract and everything that we can where we can eliminate some trust uh uh in certain use case, so it's very very great job, very nice.
- 35:07 SPEAKER_01 Maybe there's something that uh you know some kind of collaboration between wallets, you know, like uh with what you guys are doing, and like uh users uh store USDP or something, I don't know.
- 35:17 SPEAKER_01 But you know, I'm I'm just here to build links.
- 35:19 SPEAKER_01 I'm like the blockchain, you know, just making links, making links, who knows?
- 35:23 SPEAKER_01 You know, cool things might come up from it.
- 35:26 SPEAKER_01 Would you like to uh uh show us what you've been building?
- 35:29 SPEAKER_01 Yes, I will share my screen.
- 35:47 SPEAKER_03 Can you can you see the screen?
- 35:49 SPEAKER_03 Oh there we go.
- 35:50 SPEAKER_03 Okay, great.
- 35:52 SPEAKER_03 So yeah, so um I'm Brown from Cumoli Pocket.
- 35:56 SPEAKER_03 Um, together with Joseph who did an amazing job on the UX uh design and research.
- 36:02 SPEAKER_03 We have been building uh Coomoli Pocket for the last eight weeks of the hackathon.
- 36:07 SPEAKER_03 Um, and basically what you want to do with cumully pocket is to eliminate friction in the use of bitcoin for day to day transactions and spending a circular economy.
- 36:16 SPEAKER_03 I know this may sound very cliche and it isn't uh like a fancy new use case for bitcoin, but uh actually I need it myself since BTC map is pretty empty in my town, sadly, but also we did some research, so we called out uh both uh fun community and other some other bitcoin communities, and we found out that it's still not that conveniently to to live completely on the bitcoin standard.
- 36:41 SPEAKER_03 So uh we presented the some some some parts of the survey also on bold.phone,
- 36:45 SPEAKER_03 so if you want to to check it out.
- 36:47 SPEAKER_03 Um in the in that research, we identified some problems and needs that bitcoiners have uh when trying to live on the bitcoin standards, and we set out three uh initial uh uh uh needs or problems to focus on.
- 37:01 SPEAKER_03 So uh with cumuly pocket, we wanted to create an app that has an easy non-custodial setup.
- 37:08 SPEAKER_03 So we believe that uh onboarding can even be more can even be easier with a non custodian wallet than uh with a custodian wallet, because you can just manage uh the lightning uh login, uh neural authentication or any of those uh protocols. that use the the note and keys to to authenticate.
- 37:28 SPEAKER_03 So we don't believe that uh custodial wallet has better or uh... uh has better user experience or should have better user experience.
- 37:36 SPEAKER_03 And also we uh found out that uh bitcoiners mostly uh send or want to send Bitcoin to their close contacts load, so family, friends, colleagues.
- 37:47 SPEAKER_03 Um of course that they find it very difficult now to find products and merchants and directly paying sats.
- 37:56 SPEAKER_03 Um uh factor in this is of course that we need to get uh the merchants on board, and we think that's more important than just telling them to receive bitcoin.
- 38:07 SPEAKER_03 Um we need to keep them engaged and uh help them to get uh their great products or even great deals to bitcoiners.
- 38:16 SPEAKER_03 So uh for them we are uh creating this app in a way that it can be more of a promotional tool than just uh a bitcoin wallet to receive uh bitcoin.
- 38:27 SPEAKER_03 Um so in these uh eight weeks we have been uh creating like this this vision um to our through a prototype, and we also build uh a mobile application uh in Flutter, so it works uh already for iOS and... And Android, and so uh we try to keep uh yeah, so we put a lot of effort in the user experience, make it very easy to navigate, easy to understand, and uh put some yeah familiar touches that people that don't know Bitcoin will recognize from other uh app experiences.
- 39:04 SPEAKER_03 So basically uh we have the pocket uh tab here in the navigation, and this makes clear that this is uh a spending wallet.
- 39:14 SPEAKER_03 So we have the main functionalities for a spending wallet to send, receive, replace SATS uh, or send stats to uh call storage if you
- 39:20 SPEAKER_03 starts to uh call storage if you configure uh an extended key or something like that um um then because bitcoiners want to send and want to onboard the people uh that their close relatives so instead of always having to uh uh copy paste an invoice we try to make a more chat like experience so you can easily uh send bitcoin to your contacts you can also uh request so without having to send an invoice to another channel uh you can just request the funds and then in the case you get uh fund request you can just easily confirm it and send the stats to your contact and for to help bitcoiners uh find uh uh product to... to spend their stats on um... um we um... um first focus on um... um showing them promotions promotions from from from merchants we on board um... um so they can filter them they can they can look at them they can uh filter them by their destination because we know bitcoiners want to support their local local uh economy local merchants um and we do not want to collect personal data and make recommendations based on data we collect so we made it very easy for the user itself to configure what he wants to see which services he's interested in he can uh get a merchant map from the state the the his region um and so we have thoughts about uh later adding more uh product and services like transportation tickets stuff like that but for now for the first release we will uh focus on... on promos um um and then if you yourself are a merchant um and here we focus on on on small or in individual merchants so we made it very easy for them to to to start selling their products and to onboard them so um they don't need a separate account they can just register their merchant or if they already are registered they can just uh switch to store mode here they can see the... the balance of all the promotions they sold they can see some sales numbers they can uh easily generate uh invoices continuously like some kind of point of sales application um they can uh scan promo codes from uh person that bought their promos and they can manage their the the the post they so the promo they made create new promos and see the their stats so for the working app actually everything is working and that's mainly uh thanks to uh the use of of breed sdk as the yeah some kind of embedded lightning notes so in this way we could offer uh non custodial lightning to uh to users without the need for them to set it up um so yeah yeah yeah sorry we um we're we're we're going a little uh time but one thing that you mentioned um um I think it's like super important to highlight it's uh you know you you just can't tell merchants like oh yeah accept bitcoin accept bitcoin yeah important to like you know like why go through all the training and overhead if like like no one's coming and paying in bitcoin you know yeah exactly so we want to keep them engaged and make them uh send po uh... uh both and really see bitcoiners get to their to their business and also they can get creative so they can just I don't know sell a uh... uh give a promotion for a cocktail but then the person still has to buy the main dish and then they are still free to choose Fiat Fiat Fiat Fiat Fiat Fiat or something but just so they can attract bitcoiners exactly exactly really awesome I'm so sorry to cut you off there.
- 43:14 SPEAKER_01 No fellow work and stuff uh thank you so much
- 43:16 SPEAKER_01 Work and stuff.
- 43:17 SPEAKER_01 Thank you so much for participating.
- 43:19 SPEAKER_01 And um, you know, um, something that uh I've been you know singing the tunes of forever is contactless in bitcoin applications, and I'm so happy that we're finally starting to see it.
- 43:30 SPEAKER_01 And another project that is also has it had this contactless uh... uh concept is uh um split sets.
- 43:39 SPEAKER_01 Split sets uh uh guys everyone is on with that there you go, that yeah.
- 43:47 SPEAKER_01 Hey hey guys, what did you think of the presentation?
- 43:52 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, it was quite quite quite quite quite quite good.
- 43:53 SPEAKER_03 Everyone's project for yeah, yeah, you can't several of the guys that we want to integrate with, so yeah, we find really interesting the US CP from Panthem One to integrate with us because later we we show that let's go, let's go.
- 44:14 SPEAKER_01 You know, like collaboration, I'm making the change right now.
- 44:17 SPEAKER_01 Let's go.
- 44:23 SPEAKER_01 You want to present?
- 44:24 SPEAKER_01 You want to present.
- 44:25 SPEAKER_01 Thank you so much, uh Brad.
- 44:26 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, to you really thank you.
- 44:33 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, why not yes?
- 44:36 SPEAKER_05 Yeah, I will share my screen.
- 44:40 SPEAKER_03 So I was just saying that's borrowing from a collaboration.
- 44:46 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, exactly.
- 44:48 SPEAKER_03 From Hub21 probably go, yeah, yeah.
- 44:52 SPEAKER_01 That had that in the first stages.
- 44:56 SPEAKER_01 Sorry to bring wrong.
- 45:06 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, that was a powerful uh powerful pitch.
- 45:09 SPEAKER_01 Uh I tell you that.
- 45:12 SPEAKER_05 I guess I get passionate about certain tablets.
- 45:14 SPEAKER_05 About certain subjects.
- 45:16 SPEAKER_05 This is one of them.
- 45:17 SPEAKER_05 And I can also tell you that we've done a lot of interviews with people from different parts of the world.
- 45:23 SPEAKER_05 And it's also something that we experience in our own skin.
- 45:28 SPEAKER_05 So it's we definitely wanted to address an existing problem and give people the tools that they can use in the everyday.
- 45:37 SPEAKER_05 But let me go to the page.
- 45:39 SPEAKER_05 So please make split sacks, groups, split bills, settle up in Bitcoin.
- 45:46 SPEAKER_05 What is our purpose?
- 45:47 SPEAKER_05 Well, our purpose is to unleash Bitcoin's potential to solve real challenges related to social and financial coordination.
- 45:55 SPEAKER_05 We focus on Bitcoiners and the friends to help Bitcoiners unboard more people into the space.
- 46:01 SPEAKER_05 We focus on BTC builders and teams to manage their team expenses and reimbursements.
- 46:06 SPEAKER_05 We also focus on the underbanked and remote communities to help them with peer to peer remittences, loans on ramp and off-ramp tracking.
- 46:14 SPEAKER_05 And we focus on digital innovative because we will use and give them a chance to earn greater perks and cashback rewards in BTC.
- 46:25 SPEAKER_05 So now let's talk about the problems.
- 46:29 SPEAKER_05 Different parts of the world have different financial needs and problems, and that is evident if you ever traveled in the global north.
- 46:38 SPEAKER_05 If you have friends from all over the world, so the global sales face is hyperinflation, crippling fees, including fans of restrictive transactions, underbank persons, big predatory black market economies where cash is king, regulatory limitations and transition.
- 46:55 SPEAKER_05 The global north faces inflation, high fees due to multi-currency friction, and regulatory limitation and censorship.
- 47:03 SPEAKER_05 So what is the solution that unites them all?
- 47:06 SPEAKER_05 Well, it's split sats.
- 47:08 SPEAKER_05 It's an open source peer to peer financial coordination layer built on some social master.
- 47:12 SPEAKER_05 So push on NOSTA.
- 47:14 SPEAKER_05 Split set uses Bitcoin as a common denominator to solve to address these challenges and to serve these diverse communities.
- 47:22 SPEAKER_05 We solve problems related to currency friction, inflation, costly services, and we set up the underback.
- 47:28 SPEAKER_05 What is SplitSets?
- 47:30 SPEAKER_05 Well, we have a built-in accounting functionality, AI powered scanning of invoices, and of course manual entry, ability to lock BTC exchange rate, a let it fluctuate based on your risk appetite, and of course an alert to group members if invoices have not been paid.
- 47:48 SPEAKER_05 But also integrate with voluntary choice.
- 47:51 So how does it work?
- 47:53 SPEAKER_05 Well, if you're already on Nostar, just download SplitSat and paste your and ready to go.
- 47:58 SPEAKER_05 If you're not on Nostar, we will generate a link that you can send to your friends and find them where you're where they are, whether it's by Facebook, Instagram, or whatever that might be, and you will earn rewards the more you use the app and the more friends you're on board.
- 48:14 SPEAKER_05 You connect with your wallet, add your expenses, you add context to the group, and then you track and settle payments instantly within the app.
- 48:24 SPEAKER_05 But on boarding, as you can see, can find your friends, unboard them, simple links, add friends, send them via WhatsApp, Telegram, ever they are.
- 48:34 SPEAKER_05 We will find users where they are.
- 48:36 SPEAKER_05 Open the message, click the link, and you're ready to split.
- 48:41 SPEAKER_05 Product sign in and account creation, sign in with your NOSTA account, create a new Nostar account if you don't have it in a few easy steps.
- 48:50 SPEAKER_05 Your keys, your account, use Nostar private key, and you're ready to go.
- 48:57 SPEAKER_05 Of course, NOSTA wallet connect.
- 49:03 Groups.
- 49:04 SPEAKER_05 Find your contact easy and fast, create groups with friends and colleagues and family, address manually scan them.
- 49:11 SPEAKER_05 Hey everyone lightning fast.
- 49:16 SPEAKER_05 Why now, will you ask?
- 49:17 SPEAKER_05 Well, firstly, going to adoption.
- 49:20 SPEAKER_05 We capitalize on this momentum that we see right now.
- 49:24 SPEAKER_05 The needs are greater than at any other times, and the adoption is ramping up.
- 49:30 SPEAKER_05 There's also a need for streamlined tools.
- 49:32 SPEAKER_05 So we address several pain points by aggregating different tools in one app.
- 49:37 SPEAKER_05 We enhance user experience and by this promote accessibility.
- 49:41 SPEAKER_05 We cater for BTC Teams.
- 49:43 SPEAKER_05 We discovered that BTC teams struggle and face challenges with global expenses coverage and financial operations.
- 49:50 SPEAKER_05 And we focus on the infrastructure that's keeping.
- 49:55 SPEAKER_05 So we aim to integrate and provide a cheap and user friendly app that can be used for everyday transactions.
- 50:04 SPEAKER_05 Partnerships as set, we will not build everything from scratch, we will integrate.
- 50:09 SPEAKER_05 We are powerful accounting functionality with exchange rate, payment tracking on top of not the chat feature.
- 50:16 SPEAKER_05 User privacy security, enter and decrypt encryption, decentralized storage.
- 50:21 SPEAKER_05 This is what we're about.
- 50:22 SPEAKER_05 Future partnerships are planning with bold spit wage, breeze DK, whole punch, and pay join.
- 50:30 SPEAKER_05 This model, we will charge a microfixed paper settle transaction through the app.
- 50:35 SPEAKER_05 You will never actually mind because it's so small compared to the value add.
- 50:41 SPEAKER_05 We'll experiment with partnership models, eliminate user fees as much as possible, we'll have premium features to serve the white needs to make it successful through the pay pay used by microtransaction, and we will gamify for users.
- 50:54 SPEAKER_05 The more you use the app, the greater perks you get.
- 50:57 SPEAKER_05 So the rewards program is at the core.
- 50:59 SPEAKER_05 If you invite your friends, you will get additional sets for each transaction you you make through split set, you will get additional perks and rewards.
- 51:09 SPEAKER_05 And competitive positioning as you see we are competitive positioning.
- 51:17 SPEAKER_05 How we are we compare to Revolute, of course they do a lot of things, but they're not peer to peer.
- 51:24 SPEAKER_05 They do not give you that decentralization, they do not give you that privacy that we offer.
- 51:30 SPEAKER_05 Strike is offering something, but not everything.
- 51:35 SPEAKER_05 Rawama, who is also in the competition offered some features, but not everything.
- 51:40 SPEAKER_05 Our financials, as you will see, we want to target countries that already have great BTC adoption.
- 51:47 SPEAKER_05 We will want to target people under the age of34 that are digitally native and want to participate in a more democratized and decentral economy to solve some of the current challenges.
- 51:59 SPEAKER_05 I will not bore you with financial, but we're calculated.
- 52:03 SPEAKER_05 And as you can see, our business plan is solid.
- 52:07 SPEAKER_05 And now to the team, Jean Luca, Walter, Shah Hart and Francesca, decentralized team.
- 52:13 SPEAKER_05 And uh by skills and geography.
- 52:16 SPEAKER_05 Thank you very much.
- 52:17 SPEAKER_05 I'll stop here.
- 52:19 SPEAKER_01 Amazing work, amazing work.
- 52:21 SPEAKER_01 Um Starbucks, what do you think about that?
- 52:24 SPEAKER_01 Do you have the need to split your bills and uh in your business or uh oh yeah, absolutely.
- 52:32 SPEAKER_04 I think the more and more um apps we we get to um uh make it easier for the users to use is when we're gonna get more users into it.
- 52:43 SPEAKER_01 Exactly, yeah.
- 52:44 SPEAKER_01 Um at the hub in Belgrade, we um we... we religiously use split waves actually um one of the um one of the teams that are coming up next uh from Atlanta uh Steven Steven DeWarm from Atlanta, he's the one who introduced me to the split waves a few years ago, but um, you know, all this is uh quite interesting, and um you know. like as you mentioned about like the user adoption with these kind of like use cases and stuff, is definitely these are the kind of things that you know like we see outside in the world that like normal regular people use and that like existing uh products like don't fill the market aren't able to do because they haven't integrated Bitcoin or for whatever reason.
- 53:28 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, so yeah, yeah, very interesting project, very interesting project.
- 53:32 SPEAKER_01 Amazing work, guys.
- 53:34 SPEAKER_01 Um great to see where you guys came from to where you guys are now.
- 53:37 SPEAKER_01 Keep it up, keep it up.
- 53:39 Thank you, guys.
- 53:40 SPEAKER_01 Thank you, guys.
- 53:42 SPEAKER_01 Starbuilder.
- 53:43 SPEAKER_01 I think we should.
- 53:44 SPEAKER_04 John, uh I also have uh... uh my co-founder uh uh Edge should be joining us well.
- 53:51 SPEAKER_01 Edge, you know, I always pronounce his name as Egggy.
- 54:01 SPEAKER_01 It is it is egg.
- 54:03 SPEAKER_01 I'm from Germany, but people don't how you doing, Egg.
- 54:10 SPEAKER_01 I'm great, thanks.
- 54:11 SPEAKER_01 How are you?
- 54:12 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, you guys have just been like added at our tournaments, added uh tournaments.
- 54:17 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, really.
- 54:18 SPEAKER_04 Yeah, this is the third one.
- 54:20 SPEAKER_04 Yeah, so we've been kind of like going at it, and... and the good thing is we keep building um alongside so we can see the um the updates uh that we post on both fun and the progress, and it's been an amazing journey.
- 54:34 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, I think I think that's um you know, like looking back, you know, when you guys are multi-billion dollar businesses, you know, using coins and stuff and be like, oh, you remember that little bull fun thing that we used to post on this still around.
- 54:48 All right, go for it.
- 54:50 SPEAKER_04 All right, thank you.
- 54:52 SPEAKER_04 Uh hi, um uh I'm uh Starbuilder.
- 54:55 SPEAKER_04 Uh um my co-founder uh uh uh Edge uh we built Play AI.
- 54:59 SPEAKER_04 Uh we started uh back in I think AI for all hackathon back in June.
- 55:07 SPEAKER_04 So every uh10 to15 years there is a platform shift on the technology side.
- 55:12 SPEAKER_04 We saw this from PC to web to mobile.
- 55:16 SPEAKER_04 And if you're uh following this tech this year, um you know another major uh platform shift uh is happening with the AI.
- 55:25 SPEAKER_04 And what's cool about this is um both Naster and Lightning are going to play a major role in this next shift.
- 55:34 SPEAKER_04 Creating an AI app is super easy.
- 55:38 SPEAKER_04 There are a million uh domain with the.ai
- 55:41 SPEAKER_04 sites, and10,000 of them are operational.
- 55:44 SPEAKER_04 Um simply you know build a UI, get the API from OpenAI and a couple of others, and then you know make it a product.
- 55:53 SPEAKER_04 However, uh Plate AI is very different because uh every other uh the10,000 uh AI sites that uh you might have seen all have uh email us login and then credit card as payment.
- 56:07 SPEAKER_04 Whereas here uh we built it um without any uh... uh logging, just a single user interface, and then uh you pay by uh SATS as you go through.
- 56:19 SPEAKER_04 Now you can see here uh why um there are this many AA agents, right?
- 56:26 SPEAKER_04 So uh when you come from the web to the app store to the AI world, uh you actually bring kind of like the same mental model where uh each of these agents have a specific uh skill and a knowledge so that you don't have to go in and start with the prompt and then kind of like start to um you know you know put in all the information needed.
- 56:48 SPEAKER_04 So uh in here um we when we started, we started I think with10.
- 56:53 SPEAKER_04 Um the community actually started building this um uh uh and I think right now we are over200 agents.
- 57:00 SPEAKER_04 It is so simple to create an agent.
- 57:02 SPEAKER_04 Uh anyone can do it.
- 57:03 SPEAKER_04 You can just
- 57:02 SPEAKER_04 Anyone can do it.
- 57:03 SPEAKER_04 You can just click the create agent, put in the information.
- 57:08 SPEAKER_04 And then another cool thing about using Lightning here is you can simply put in your lightning address.
- 57:16 SPEAKER_04 And then once you do that, then whenever we get SATS for this agent, we do a commission split directly to your lightning address.
- 57:26 SPEAKER_04 So anyone person sitting in Lagos, Nigeria or Manila Philippines can actually make money by just building an agent with some knowledge and with some information.
- 57:40 SPEAKER_04 All these agents, as I said, they have specific skills.
- 57:44 SPEAKER_04 If you look at, for example, like the image generation, each one, like if you get journey, you may have to build up your own prompt to build up your own set of skills to kind of like get the right image you want.
- 58:00 SPEAKER_04 Whereas here, you can pretty much pick the one that you want to do, and then you can just simply uh click the prompt.
- 58:07 SPEAKER_04 Even better, uh, you can actually view the sample messages or sample images that others create so that you can say you want to kind of like you know use the uh this the prompt from this image right away, uh you can actually see the prompt, and then if you want to change it, you can change it and you can run.
- 58:25 SPEAKER_04 Um so we want to kind of make it easy, make it community based so that everyone can kind of start um uh uh using this.
- 58:32 SPEAKER_04 And then also another major major difference is that uh we use open source models.
- 58:37 SPEAKER_04 Uh we do not use the open AI or the anthropic or all these uh closed source uh... uh models that are from Silicon Valley.
- 58:46 SPEAKER_04 We use like MSR, Lama2, uh and over the last few months, I have seen so many uh open source models that come in that are much much much better than the uh... uh closed source ones.
- 58:59 SPEAKER_04 Uh and then um uh you can also create a
- 59:00 SPEAKER_04 You can also create private agents just for your own.
- 59:04 SPEAKER_04 For example, I created my own.
- 59:06 SPEAKER_04 And then the cool thing about here is you can actually attach PDF documents like knowledge to this agent.
- 59:13 SPEAKER_04 In this case, I just attached like a rental document.
- 59:16 SPEAKER_04 Once you do that, then pretty much you can ask questions about the document and can use that to provide an inference.
- 59:27 SPEAKER_04 Again, you know, we want to make it uh easy, simple, uh, and then you know, you know, build as uh we... we go through, and then people can of like um start to uh uh use it.
- 59:39 SPEAKER_04 And and the cool thing that what we have seen is I've been building in Lightning for the past three years.
- 59:44 SPEAKER_04 Um this is one place where uh people are paying in SATS, like we are already writing in uh SATS as uh each agent, and then of course we are paying some the hosting and the API providers and in uh Dowdas, but um uh the the SATS writing in actually more than what we pay for.
- 01:00:02 SPEAKER_04 So let me uh generate a quick image here.
- 01:00:11 SPEAKER_04 There you go.
- 01:00:12 SPEAKER_04 Okay, all right.
- 01:00:13 SPEAKER_04 So I'm gonna just pick any image here.
- 01:00:15 SPEAKER_04 I'm gonna pick um, for example, like you know, oh that's like a like a like a big one.
- 01:00:22 SPEAKER_04 So you can literally create any image here using the uh the agents.
- 01:00:28 SPEAKER_04 Uh we also started expanding this.
- 01:00:30 SPEAKER_04 So all these agents that you see, they have a NASCAR profile.
- 01:00:33 SPEAKER_04 So uh they are actually um uh uh a Naster user, so you don't have to actually come to play by I to use it, you can directly use it um with uh... uh you know directly going into Naster, and then uh uh they will respond to you can create images uh directly from there.
- 01:00:52 SPEAKER_04 You want to uh uh uh you want to kind of like you know just talk about the roadmap.
- 01:00:58 SPEAKER_02 I think we're I think we're heading.
- 01:00:58 SPEAKER_02 I think we're I think we're hitting our limit here.
- 01:01:00 SPEAKER_02 Uh something that I just wanted to quickly emphasize on is uh just like Uin mentioned just now, these are actually profiles running on us, so you're not you're you're not confined by our user interface, you're not confined by our service at all.
- 01:01:14 SPEAKER_02 Uh you can actually use other other uh clients, uh other interfaces to interface with these agents.
- 01:01:20 SPEAKER_02 And this is something that we've been actively working on during the Sackathon as well to build out an SDK so that you can on your own website it the SDK wraps all the functionality that you need, it wraps the lightning payment that it wraps the NASCAR connection.
- 01:01:34 SPEAKER_01 So it's like10 lines of code JavaScript that you have to put on on your website, and you can now have an interface with any of these agents through the NASCAR protocol, not actually connecting through any of our services.
- 01:01:45 SPEAKER_02 Um just like putting it up here on the screen, uh we're quickly we build a demo for the LB website uh where you now actually connect through the NASCAR network to LBGPT, which is a platy agent.
- 01:01:57 SPEAKER_02 Um yeah, but I know we're at the limit.
- 01:02:01 SPEAKER_02 So much for the stage.
- 01:02:03 SPEAKER_02 Um it was an awesome journey uh building this during the hackathon.
- 01:02:07 SPEAKER_01 Over the hackathon, you mean like you.
- 01:02:13 SPEAKER_01 I hope that well, I guess you guys are getting value or at least having fun with it.
- 01:02:17 SPEAKER_01 So um really you'll be I'm honored to be having you like consistently and to be able to um create these events uh that uh yeah that you keep joining so I really really appreciate it.
- 01:02:31 SPEAKER_01 Very um Brian, you're also working on project as well.
- 01:02:38 What's up?
- 01:02:39 Yes, I am.
- 01:02:40 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, tell us about it.
- 01:02:41 SPEAKER_01 What do you think about uh play AI?
- 01:02:43 SPEAKER_02 I I think it's interesting, I like it.
- 01:02:45 SPEAKER_02 I um in the list of in the email, I remember my eyes going directly to it and being like, ooh, competition.
- 01:02:54 SPEAKER_01 No, no, collaborative, collaboration, yeah, for sure.
- 01:02:58 SPEAKER_02 It's very cool.
- 01:02:59 SPEAKER_02 I played around with it, I had a lot of fun.
- 01:03:00 SPEAKER_02 So great job, you guys.
- 01:03:02 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, and it's just getting so great.
- 01:03:05 SPEAKER_01 But you have a different right.
- 01:03:07 SPEAKER_01 I do.
- 01:03:07 SPEAKER_01 I do.
- 01:03:08 SPEAKER_01 I've always, you know, let's make the pie bigger and let's not just think that we have to eat from the same small pie.
- 01:03:15 SPEAKER_01 Absolutely.
- 01:03:18 SPEAKER_02 All right, cool.
- 01:03:19 SPEAKER_02 Well, thanks, Johns.
- 01:03:20 SPEAKER_02 Thanks, everybody.
- 01:03:21 SPEAKER_02 So my name's Brian.
- 01:03:23 SPEAKER_02 I'm from Atlanta, ATL Bit Lab.
- 01:03:25 SPEAKER_02 And um, this is Abbott.
- 01:03:27 SPEAKER_02 So it's short.
- 01:03:28 SPEAKER_02 Abbott is actually short for ATL Bit Lab Bot, and he is your friendly neighborhood Bitcoin bot.
- 01:03:34 SPEAKER_02 So Bitcoin communities.
- 01:03:36 SPEAKER_02 So these communities are all around the world.
- 01:03:38 SPEAKER_02 Um, they're local, and people from the local community go there to learn about Bitcoin, how to buy it, how to secure it, um, how to code it, things like that, how to spend it.
- 01:03:49 SPEAKER_02 What is the problem, right?
- 01:03:50 SPEAKER_02 The problem is that organizing it means you have a lot of overhead, right?
- 01:03:56 SPEAKER_02 A lot of things to do.
- 01:03:57 SPEAKER_02 You have to help people where find where you are, like how to park, lots of frequently asked questions that are redundant, and then most importantly, I think you have to keep things fun and interesting by having events and and also keep the chat going, but like most human beings, um, organizers are uh which organizers are human beings, um, their time is scarce, right?
- 01:04:18 SPEAKER_02 So how can we give them a hand?
- 01:04:20 SPEAKER_02 How can we help them out with all these problems?
- 01:04:23 SPEAKER_02 So enter Abbott, right?
- 01:04:26 SPEAKER_02 That's the solution here.
- 01:04:27 SPEAKER_02 Abbott is a lightning powered AI bot, um, who helps Bitcoin community organizers by telling people how to find your meetup, answering those frequently frequently asked questions, but also frequently asked Bitcoin questions, and most importantly, keeps things fun and interesting for the community.
- 01:04:46 SPEAKER_02 So how does he work, right?
- 01:04:47 SPEAKER_02 So you add him to your telegram chat, um, enjoy his responses and uh his witty dialogue and banter, and he does. charge a small fee.
- 01:04:57 SPEAKER_02 Right now we're doing with the launch of it and the launch of the hackathon, we're doing a50k cred credit to start.
- 01:05:05 SPEAKER_02 So everybody that adds into a group chat will get50,000 sats for free.
- 01:05:09 SPEAKER_02 Um, and then if you ever want to top that up, you just simply pay him over lightning, right?
- 01:05:13 SPEAKER_02 And anybody can pay that invoice um from any wallet, you know, any time any at any moment uh within the chat.
- 01:05:22 SPEAKER_02 So let's stop talking about it and go see it.
- 01:05:27 SPEAKER_02 So if you go to abbot.atl
- 01:05:28 SPEAKER_02 bitlablab.com,
- 01:05:29 SPEAKER_02 you'll get this page, and you can click use telegram, and you can click group chat.
- 01:05:35 SPEAKER_02 We try to streamline this a little bit.
- 01:05:38 SPEAKER_02 So um the telegram UI can be a little wonky, but basically you have two options.
- 01:05:43 SPEAKER_02 Let's say you're um on your computer and you have a phone and you'd rather do it on your phone, you can scan this, or if you're like me right now on the computer, you could click add.
- 01:05:52 SPEAKER_02 And that's gonna prompt you to open telegram, and then it's gonna give you a drop down to say add to group.
- 01:05:58 SPEAKER_02 So let's add him to this group.
- 01:06:04 SPEAKER_02 So right now we're unplugging him from the matrix, getting him going, you know, bringing him up to speed about what's going on in the world.
- 01:06:11 SPEAKER_02 And so there you go.
- 01:06:12 SPEAKER_02 So he's introduced himself.
- 01:06:13 SPEAKER_02 Hey, um, I'm Abbott.
- 01:06:16 SPEAKER_02 This is how you interact with me.
- 01:06:17 SPEAKER_02 So in a group chat, um, you can tag him with his handle and ask a question or say a comment, he'll come running and answering.
- 01:06:26 SPEAKER_02 Um, or you can reply to one of his messages, and um, that will also um prompt him to to answer you.
- 01:06:35 SPEAKER_02 So it's a go.
- 01:06:44 SPEAKER_02 So you know, just kind of just chilling, keeping it100 with the bitcoin knowledge.
- 01:06:49 SPEAKER_02 Um Bitcoin's just doing its thing, keeping the digital street secure. price wise, it's always on the roller coaster.
- 01:06:56 SPEAKER_02 So there's a little more of a um kind of fun chill aspect to it in the sense that he's got a personality, you want him to feel like we want him to feel like he's part of your community, like it's just another person that you hang out with, right?
- 01:07:09 SPEAKER_02 On a regular basis.
- 01:07:11 SPEAKER_02 Um, and so let's say you want to go ahead and say, um, I want to top him up.
- 01:07:15 SPEAKER_02 I want to add a little bit of uh uh oops, well, uh... uh let's re-try that.
- 01:07:21 SPEAKER_02 There you go.
- 01:07:22 SPEAKER_02 So actually that was a good part of the demo.
- 01:07:24 SPEAKER_02 I didn't even plan to do that, and it worked out.
- 01:07:26 SPEAKER_02 So if you mess up, he'll give you a little direction there.
- 01:07:28 SPEAKER_02 Like, hey, what are you doing?
- 01:07:29 SPEAKER_02 You gotta uh... uh tell me what you want.
- 01:07:33 SPEAKER_02 All right, cool.
- 01:07:34 SPEAKER_02 So now he's creating an invoice, right?
- 01:07:36 SPEAKER_02 And so he's kind of dumped uh a QR code and this long string.
- 01:07:40 SPEAKER_02 If you happen to be on your phone, you could copy that.
- 01:07:43 SPEAKER_02 And now anybody in the chat can pay this, and I want to highlight this because I think this kind of adds like a fun gamification.
- 01:07:50 SPEAKER_02 Bam.
- 01:07:51 SPEAKER_02 So I didn't pay that.
- 01:07:51 SPEAKER_02 Somebody in the group paid that.
- 01:07:53 SPEAKER_02 Um there you go, Steven One.
- 01:07:54 SPEAKER_02 Good job, thank you.
- 01:07:55 SPEAKER_02 I'll uh I'll I'll double your stats and send them back to you.
- 01:07:59 SPEAKER_02 So um, so yeah, so I love this.
- 01:08:00 SPEAKER_02 I love this idea.
- 01:08:01 SPEAKER_02 At first, I thought I towed around with making this an admin feature, um, but I really think it adds like a fun, kind of cool way of gamifying your chat, but also kind of just like brings the community together, like everybody can share the burden of paying bills, right?
- 01:08:15 SPEAKER_02 And so um, so with that, you know, want to talk about and I'll leave this at least up a little bit that way.
- 01:08:21 SPEAKER_02 Um, we can have people can watch the show a little bit.
- 01:08:25 SPEAKER_02 But with that, I go back to so oops, skip the slide.
- 01:08:30 SPEAKER_02 So the tech stack, right?
- 01:08:31 SPEAKER_02 So P... P Python the back end, next JS on the front end, Telegram API.
- 01:08:35 SPEAKER_02 We are using open AI, um, and so of course there is a bill associated with that.
- 01:08:39 SPEAKER_02 Um, and so that's kind of what I was uh uh getting at with the the community sharing, right?
- 01:08:45 SPEAKER_02 Community organizers also buy pizza, they buy beer, right?
- 01:08:48 SPEAKER_02 There this could help you kind of monetize part of that. to cover some of your costs potentially.
- 01:08:54 SPEAKER_02 But also it's you know a resource that can be funded by the whole community.
- 01:08:59 SPEAKER_02 So it's not just like the organizers' responsibility to pay for this the bill on this thing.
- 01:09:04 SPEAKER_02 And so on that note, something that Hub AI mentioned that I I want to also highlight with ours.
- 01:09:10 SPEAKER_02 I love that theirs is using open source models.
- 01:09:13 SPEAKER_02 That is definitely on our roadmap in the near future.
- 01:09:15 SPEAKER_02 We want to try and put in alternate LOMs and make it more open source on that back end side, but also um, you know, we onboarded him to Nostar during Australia.
- 01:09:25 SPEAKER_02 Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to launch that, um, but that is also on the roadmap.
- 01:09:30 SPEAKER_02 Another um a key thing that I think would be fun is having like a global chat, kind of like NosterChat.com.io
- 01:09:36 SPEAKER_02 has, where um you can go to abit.atlbitlab.com
- 01:09:39 SPEAKER_02 one day, not yet, you know, dot com slash chat, maybe, and then we use decentralized identifiers to simply create a loginless experience.
- 01:09:48 SPEAKER_02 So you can just start chatting with them, right?
- 01:09:50 SPEAKER_02 Um, or in a DM or in like uh you know in a global chat, and then better customization, right?
- 01:09:56 SPEAKER_02 So if like you add Abbott and you're in let's say Miami, um, he might talk a lot about Atlanta.
- 01:10:01 SPEAKER_02 So maybe we don't want that happening.
- 01:10:03 SPEAKER_02 Maybe we want to give organizers the ability to kind of tune that.
- 01:10:05 SPEAKER_02 So that's also on the roadmap.
- 01:10:07 SPEAKER_02 Um this is the team.
- 01:10:12 SPEAKER_02 So myself, we've got Jordan, Ida, Annie, Brandon, we're robot, um, Annie.
- 01:10:17 SPEAKER_02 That this was her first hackathon ever.
- 01:10:19 SPEAKER_02 So very, very happy for her.
- 01:10:21 SPEAKER_02 Um, and um, yeah, so we team effort very much.
- 01:10:25 SPEAKER_02 Love all these guys, very happy that we got here.
- 01:10:28 SPEAKER_02 Um, honored to be here, and that's it.
- 01:10:30 SPEAKER_02 So check us out, Abbott.atlbitlab.com,
- 01:10:33 SPEAKER_02 or you can go to our github.com
- 01:10:35 SPEAKER_02 ATL built slash atl bitlab slash abbot.
- 01:10:38 SPEAKER_02 It's open source, you can clone it, fork it, run your own, um, you know, all that good stuff.
- 01:10:43 SPEAKER_02 So that's it.
- 01:10:46 SPEAKER_01 Thank you so much.
- 01:10:47 SPEAKER_01 Um, Johns.
- 01:10:48 SPEAKER_01 And I do our time, Johns.
- 01:10:51 SPEAKER_01 You did well.
- 01:10:51 SPEAKER_01 You did well.
- 01:10:53 SPEAKER_01 Went over a little bit.
- 01:10:55 SPEAKER_01 Okay, sorry.
- 01:10:57 SPEAKER_01 Yeah.
- 01:10:58 SPEAKER_01 What I would say is that we have this hub in Belgrade, and we're also kind of like going through a lot of those uh... uh kind of issues of like, you know, how do you get the community engage the our cost uh... uh that we're covering for certain things.
- 01:11:12 SPEAKER_01 So yeah, I really like that you made it not an admin feature.
- 01:11:16 SPEAKER_01 Darius, what did you think about that?
- 01:11:22 SPEAKER_06 Yes, you have a huge community today, and I guess you could make good use of that to add a lot of vibrantcy and lifeliness to the entire community.
- 01:11:32 SPEAKER_06 Definitely yeah, Glua variant, you yeah.
- 01:11:35 SPEAKER_01 Uh by the way, I'm sorry for smoking on um on the actually I'm not uh I've been working for years.
- 01:11:45 SPEAKER_01 Do you brother it's after10 here come on.
- 01:11:50 SPEAKER_01 You need to give me a break.
- 01:11:52 SPEAKER_01 Um thank you so much, Brian.
- 01:11:54 SPEAKER_01 Thank you.
- 01:11:55 SPEAKER_01 Um thank you for showing up, you guys uh... uh ATL bit lab.
- 01:11:59 SPEAKER_01 Um you guys have shown up uh... uh for for the last two hackathons like in a really big way.
- 01:12:04 SPEAKER_01 Really appreciate it.
- 01:12:06 SPEAKER_01 Thanks for having us.
- 01:12:06 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely.
- 01:12:09 SPEAKER_01 There is you're up next.
- 01:12:13 Um all right.
- 01:12:15 SPEAKER_06 Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, everyone, depending on where you are.
- 01:12:20 SPEAKER_06 I'm Darius from Hat Labs.
- 01:12:22 SPEAKER_06 So today we are here to talk about more than technology.
- 01:12:26 SPEAKER_06 We are here to empower the trustless future with Master assets.
- 01:12:31 SPEAKER_06 Um we have combined a batch or three words to develop Nostal assets where by instant settlement is possible with Lightning Network, business logic can be integrated with monster to coordinate users to achieve their desirable results. and issuance of multi-assets is achievable with tab root assets, leveraging the and security of the coin.
- 01:12:57 SPEAKER_06 The key proposition of the entire stack is that all the technical complexities such as its underlying cryptography has been extracted away.
- 01:13:07 SPEAKER_06 And this delivers a simple powerful last mile solution that can be easily employed or deployed by users and developers.
- 01:13:17 SPEAKER_06 So now let's take a look at the first application that we have built on top of NOSFER assets, a marketplace for trading tab reassets.
- 01:13:28 SPEAKER_06 You can easily access via your computer or mobile phones.
- 01:13:32 SPEAKER_06 Now let's connect to our Nostal wallet that we have installed as a browser extension.
- 01:13:41 SPEAKER_06 It's just a critical connect.
- 01:13:43 SPEAKER_06 And now under our portfolio, you you will see Satoshi's, which is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, and also token A B C, which are tablet assets.
- 01:13:54 SPEAKER_06 In the middle, it shows the amount and the equivalent value in both Satoshi's and US dollar.
- 01:14:00 SPEAKER_06 On the right and above the portfolio summary, you get your quick buttons to help you to transfer, deposit, redraw, and import assets.
- 01:14:09 SPEAKER_06 Now let's head to the marketplace to buy some token A.
- 01:14:15 SPEAKER_06 Alright, I'm just going to take a buy order from the market itself.
- 01:14:21 SPEAKER_06 And then a prom will pop out seeking your confirmation, and you need to approve and confirm it.
- 01:14:30 Okay.
- 01:14:31 SPEAKER_06 The transaction is successful.
- 01:14:33 SPEAKER_06 Let me go back to the asset balance or portfolio page to check out if the transition is indeed successful.
- 01:14:39 SPEAKER_06 Yes, it is.
- 01:14:40 SPEAKER_06 I have successful transfer uh... uh exchange some Satoshi for token A.
- 01:14:44 SPEAKER_06 She's for token A.
- 01:14:46 SPEAKER_06 So most importantly, what our protocol also conforms to the highest level of data integrity.
- 01:14:53 SPEAKER_06 All users execute executed actions are observable on our explorer, is fully trackable, transparent, and temporary resistance.
- 01:15:02 SPEAKER_06 And these three key attributes are crucial for digital assets sovereignty.
- 01:15:07 SPEAKER_06 What's more amazing, instead of interacting with the front end, users can actually execute by sending natural language commands to Nostal assets.
- 01:15:15 SPEAKER_06 This is much, much faster and more convenient than interacting with the web.
- 01:15:20 SPEAKER_06 Here's the scenario.
- 01:15:21 SPEAKER_06 I'm Alice, and Bob has requested me to send him some Bitcoin and ask for his MP.
- 01:15:28 SPEAKER_06 On the right, with natural language commands, I am able to save his MP on my address book.
- 01:15:35 SPEAKER_06 Also I'm able to check my balance and transfer10 Satoshi to Bob.
- 01:15:40 SPEAKER_06 We call this chat to trade.
- 01:15:42 SPEAKER_06 It works in any Nostal client today, and any that will be built in the future.
- 01:15:46 SPEAKER_06 It's not just for users, but also developers.
- 01:15:50 SPEAKER_06 For example, our marketplace is actually built and empowered by Chad to Trade.
- 01:15:56 SPEAKER_06 So a couple of days ago, we also launched a new product.
- 01:15:59 SPEAKER_06 It's called the Lightning Starter.
- 01:16:01 SPEAKER_06 We we uh it seeks to provide a fair and transparent taboo assets minting process by introducing like a unique combination of rules based on both the Bitcoin block hash and launch pool.
- 01:16:15 SPEAKER_06 On the left, it shows the participation phase whereby there is12 zone that pools with has decimals characters assigned to each pool, and each character may state tokens to participate in those pools and be ranked by the amount of the token that they have um deposited.
- 01:16:34 SPEAKER_06 On the right, it shows the lottery draw phase whereby users are being drawn from each bitcoin brought when the last character of the broad. hash is matched with the ones assigned to the launch pool as shown on the right on the left.
- 01:16:50 SPEAKER_06 So our launch, our lightning starter is designed to be fair, transparent, and bought me digan.
- 01:16:56 SPEAKER_06 So we have just concluded our phase one this early morning with more than26,000 Nostal addresses.
- 01:17:04 SPEAKER_06 So what we have showcased is excellent examples of how our web application works and how WebChat to trade seamlessly integrated with it.
- 01:17:14 SPEAKER_06 So we have built this ground out from a highly extensible platform that developers can plug into not just us, but anyone can build on it.
- 01:17:22 SPEAKER_06 So everyone can build on it, anyone can build on it.
- 01:17:26 SPEAKER_06 Users will only take30 seconds to learn to use developers will only take30 minutes to learn to deploy.
- 01:17:31 SPEAKER_06 It's incredibly easy.
- 01:17:34 SPEAKER_06 So we are not just talking about doing it.
- 01:17:36 SPEAKER_06 We already have astonishing results.
- 01:17:38 SPEAKER_06 We launched on Mainnet on the30th of October, just12 days after the initiation of the typewriter assets.
- 01:17:46 SPEAKER_06 We did a Halloween team airdrop, to more than8,000 Nostal addresses, we achieved trading volumes of eight Bitcoins on the very first day, our community growth has since then exploded, and we established ourselves as one of the largest Lightning node operators today with more than60 DTCs in total capacity.
- 01:18:06 SPEAKER_06 And most important of all, all this happened in less than one and a half months.
- 01:18:10 SPEAKER_06 This is extraordinary.
- 01:18:12 SPEAKER_06 So what we have done has also led to a paradigm shift to the entire Lightning Network.
- 01:18:17 SPEAKER_06 On the very first day, we onboarded like8,000 new users to Lightning Network, and today we have more than75,000 Active addresses.
- 01:18:24 SPEAKER_06 And most important of all, our launch has brought in unprecedented deposit volumes of more than500 bitcoins to Lightning Network, with each deposit sizing1,100 on average.
- 01:18:38 SPEAKER_06 These game changes prior to our launch, Lightning Network. has only been primarily used for microtransactions, for example, to pay for a cup of coffee.
- 01:18:48 SPEAKER_06 So to date, we have received we have also achieved trading volume of more than500 bitcoins and generate a good amount of revenue.
- 01:18:56 SPEAKER_06 And most important of all that's it, this all happens in less than two months.
- 01:19:01 SPEAKER_06 So we are yeah, we are a dynamic theme of um, so each of us is deeply rooted in the blockchain industry for more than five years.
- 01:19:09 SPEAKER_06 We have very real in exchanges, defy systematic trading.
- 01:19:12 SPEAKER_06 We have experience in building robust high performance trading infrastructure.
- 01:19:16 SPEAKER_06 So yeah, so we have a custodial solution today, and we are looking to support our type of assets on on Lightning Network on day one.
- 01:19:24 SPEAKER_06 So we'll be launching like an audible boot exchange and analytics tools on a later date.
- 01:19:28 SPEAKER_06 Yep, so we will provide like a non-customer solution on the in the future to enable self-custody of funds.
- 01:19:35 Yep.
- 01:19:36 SPEAKER_06 So it's a unique layer.
- 01:19:37 SPEAKER_06 So if you believe me, our decentralized vision, please join us.
- 01:19:40 SPEAKER_06 Thank you.
- 01:19:41 SPEAKER_01 Amazing work, amazing work.
- 01:19:43 SPEAKER_01 And like just to be clear there, because this is like uh... uh quite quite an amount of work to do it um from a hackathon.
- 01:19:52 SPEAKER_01 You... you guys focus on like the growth part, um launch during the during the tournament, right?
- 01:20:00 SPEAKER_06 Um we did build part of it, and but at the same time we were trying to build out the lightning starter, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 01:20:09 SPEAKER_06 The lightning starter was not was actually before it, yeah.
- 01:20:12 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, um, it's amazing that you guys um uh oh god the same amount in revenue as the price pool as well.
- 01:20:21 SPEAKER_01 No, no, that is that is fantastic.
- 01:20:23 SPEAKER_01 Congratulations on that.
- 01:20:25 SPEAKER_01 Um guys, what do you guys think of um uh type root assets?
- 01:20:29 SPEAKER_01 Have you been able to try it out there?
- 01:20:30 SPEAKER_01 Have you been able to open up for us as well?
- 01:20:33 SPEAKER_03 Uh I haven't, but I will.
- 01:20:34 SPEAKER_03 There is that's that's amazing, and uh I love all the traction there, and that's the sort of connective tissue and capability gains we need.
- 01:20:43 SPEAKER_03 So cool.
- 01:20:45 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, awesome job.
- 01:20:47 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, I think one of our um future tournaments and stuff, it might be just focus on traction and like uh trying to get to revenue and stuff like that, because um, you know, uh like maybe it's like for uh uh uh projects that like you know, like playb who started it like uh uh three hackathons ago, um, they there's an important part of like you need to launch it out, you need to make that launch big, and you need to like get people using using it, and it's not that easy um um at the end of the day, you know.
- 01:21:17 SPEAKER_01 So um uh like amazing job um on the tractors on and what you guys have done um on your launch.
- 01:21:23 SPEAKER_01 Um thank you so much, Davius.
- 01:21:24 SPEAKER_01 We're gonna be um um uh uh going into resolver now.
- 01:21:28 SPEAKER_01 A really cool project.
- 01:21:30 Thank you guys.
- 01:21:31 Chao.
- 01:21:35 All right, great.
- 01:21:36 We got it queued up.
- 01:21:37 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, it looks good.
- 01:21:38 SPEAKER_03 It looks like uh Aaron, you're able to join us here, too.
- 01:21:41 SPEAKER_03 So welcome.
- 01:21:42 SPEAKER_03 Um just a quick meet the team.
- 01:21:44 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, before I dive into it, obviously, Aaron uh and myself.
- 01:21:48 SPEAKER_03 Aaron is really the uh... uh the genesis of this project.
- 01:21:52 SPEAKER_03 Um practicing appellate attorney authors the bitcoin brief, uh has pieces in Bitcoin magazine just all around uh uh Bitcoin legal guru, and then yeah, the rest of the team, it's it's an eclectic mix.
- 01:22:05 SPEAKER_03 Uh a lot of bitcoiners, some non-bitcoiners, um, everything from the legal system to the bitcoin ecosystem to open source hackers, um, you know, just just an awesome group.
- 01:22:18 SPEAKER_03 Um and then yeah, it before I get into it again, uh just thanks to the community, um to Bolt Fun and everybody who's presenting here today, and all the other teams, um, we can't thank the community enough.
- 01:22:31 SPEAKER_03 Um some of the people from the community have actually become essential members of our team during the course of the project.
- 01:22:36 SPEAKER_03 So you know, we've benefited.
- 01:22:36 SPEAKER_03 During the course of the project.
- 01:22:37 SPEAKER_03 So we've benefited tremendously from it.
- 01:22:39 SPEAKER_03 So just big thank you.
- 01:22:40 SPEAKER_03 And let's get into uh resolver's final pitch here.
- 01:22:45 SPEAKER_03 So what's the problem?
- 01:22:47 SPEAKER_03 There's a need for open and decentralized justice.
- 01:22:52 SPEAKER_03 And it doesn't exist today.
- 01:22:54 SPEAKER_03 Today it's flawed, failing, and it's the most fiat thing you could ever imagine.
- 01:23:00 SPEAKER_03 So if anybody's ever had the distinct pleasure of taking part in the state court run system, you know that it's it's comically dysfunctional, yet it's the least bad solution that we have.
- 01:23:11 SPEAKER_03 Um, in fact, there are four billion people all over the world who would love to have this dysfunctional system who currently live outside the bounds of reliable justice uh today without the protection of the law, and54% of those are living under an authoritarian regime.
- 01:23:29 SPEAKER_03 So you know, forget about justice.
- 01:23:31 SPEAKER_03 It's a struggle uh just to even do simple transactional things or to start a run a business.
- 01:23:37 SPEAKER_03 Um, and of course, there's the justice gap, uh very well documented between the haves and the have nots.
- 01:23:43 SPEAKER_03 Uh and it's an extremely expensive lengthy process, just a simple uh contract law dispute can run easily into the high six figures and take over a year to resolve.
- 01:23:56 SPEAKER_03 So this is the environment that we're looking at.
- 01:23:58 SPEAKER_03 And if we're trying to scale uh Bitcoin into widespread adoption, you know, that this is the system of law that we have to work with, and we do not think that is good enough.
- 01:24:08 SPEAKER_03 Um, let's move into that future with a better solution and to resolver.
- 01:24:14 SPEAKER_03 We're Bitcoin native, we use P2P technology to solve disputes quickly, uh with fair and enforceable resolutions at orders of magnitude less cost.
- 01:24:24 SPEAKER_03 All you have to do is connect, send a dispute, and resolver will generate a decision via an open source adjudication model.
- 01:24:32 SPEAKER_03 And that model is agreed to by all the parties before entering. into an agreement.
- 01:24:37 SPEAKER_03 So we read render that decision, we issue it through our oracle, and then that releases the bitcoin one direction or the other.
- 01:24:45 SPEAKER_03 Pretty cool.
- 01:24:46 SPEAKER_03 And we're hoping with this thing to create a flywheel of justice.
- 01:24:51 SPEAKER_03 The more types of disputes that we can solve, the more just types of defeats that will attract, and we'll just increase and snowball that value.
- 01:25:00 SPEAKER_03 So what why bounties, you know, I think a lot of people here probably know us as the bounty website.
- 01:25:10 SPEAKER_03 The Bitcoin community needs it, the Foss community needs it.
- 01:25:15 SPEAKER_03 There's been some pretty harsh rugs in that industry in the recent past, which we have in our uh our final pitch deck from you know earlier in the submission process.
- 01:25:25 SPEAKER_03 It's it gets pretty ugly.
- 01:25:27 SPEAKER_03 Uh, but also we want to use the solution ourselves to help build out the resolver protocol and and drive that community participation.
- 01:25:34 SPEAKER_03 So again, that community that's that's helped us so much and helped us get started.
- 01:25:38 SPEAKER_03 We want to turn the solution back over to the community to build out additional adjudication protocols and and to use that as a service.
- 01:25:48 SPEAKER_03 So in terms of what we built for Legends of Lightning, I mean, we didn't have anything before entering into uh into the hackathon, which um you know is good and bad.
- 01:26:00 SPEAKER_03 Um, you know, it's good because we can really you know start from the beginning and greenfielding and go through that process bad because you know now we're we're wanting to do more scaling and things like that.
- 01:26:12 SPEAKER_03 Uh regardless, um, we did manage to launch our alpha, so it's live right now at resolver.io.
- 01:26:20 SPEAKER_03 We have our P2P uh bounty board uh for free and open source.
- 01:26:24 SPEAKER_03 It's decentralized, center side resistant, uh it's built on Noster, it issues P2P lightning payouts through zaps.
- 01:26:33 SPEAKER_03 We also have.
- 01:26:32 SPEAKER_03 Layouts through zaps.
- 01:26:33 SPEAKER_03 We also have non-custodial DLC escrow that's released according to the results of uh you know our adjudication mechanism.
- 01:26:41 SPEAKER_03 And uh for that mechanism, we're actually using noster polling as the adjudication module, uh, which is of course the first of many modules.
- 01:26:49 SPEAKER_03 And just to note some cool achievements that we had during the hackathon, we authored uh NIP42, specifically Chris from our team.
- 01:26:57 SPEAKER_03 Uh, we have new use cases for other NIPs, and uh, you know, again, there's a lot of really cool stuff, and even more that's that's already underway since the the close of the hack.
- 01:27:06 SPEAKER_07 Chris was Chris was updating the uh the nip right before we went on, actually.
- 01:27:11 SPEAKER_07 So he's he's still grinding as as we speak.
- 01:27:13 SPEAKER_07 Uh and he was one of those team members that we added.
- 01:27:16 SPEAKER_07 You know, we came in with three three members at the start, um, and and we just built momentum and built team members um as we went along.
- 01:27:24 SPEAKER_07 So that's it's that's been the coolest part of this process.
- 01:27:28 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, it's been amazing and different than any other hackathon that I've ever participated in.
- 01:27:33 SPEAKER_03 Um, we're looking forward to doing more with the community.
- 01:27:36 SPEAKER_03 And speaking of the community, what's next for resolver, we want to empower communities to peacefully and voluntarily resolve their own disputes.
- 01:27:45 SPEAKER_03 Uh, we're building out bounty board enhancements, including creating spaces for specific communities and organizations to post their own bounties.
- 01:27:52 SPEAKER_03 Uh, and again, lots behind the scenes going on, including a fetting and frost component that we've uh uh at least executed in in practice on the test net.
- 01:28:00 SPEAKER_03 Uh, but lots of exciting things come uh uh coming, and uh we're building out this structure for bounties, and that architecture will be used to address further use cases and adjudication modules, and you see a lot of those exciting use cases here.
- 01:28:14 SPEAKER_03 Um, so I will just wrap it with this.
- 01:28:16 SPEAKER_03 Um, this quote from John Locke.
- 01:28:19 SPEAKER_03 Wherever law ends, tyranny begins, and Bitcoin is deeply rooted in you know the enlightenment and Lockean philosophy, which is grounded to you know our natural rights being like life, liberty, and property.
- 01:28:31 SPEAKER_03 Bitcoin.
- 01:28:30 SPEAKER_03 Life, liberty, and property.
- 01:28:31 SPEAKER_03 Bitcoin definitely addresses property, but how do we secure our liberty in our lives?
- 01:28:37 SPEAKER_03 It's only through voluntary social contract where we give our own consent so that the laws can protect these natural rights.
- 01:28:44 SPEAKER_03 Right now the modern social contract system is broken with increasing legal oversteps.
- 01:28:50 SPEAKER_03 Something called that tyranny is Bitcoiners.
- 01:28:52 SPEAKER_03 We're building a better way to resolve her.
- 01:28:54 SPEAKER_03 We're doing it for the future of Bitcoin for the world to gain access to restorative justice, and we're doing it for future generations to inherit a better world.
- 01:29:03 SPEAKER_03 And again, just like to thank everybody and uh keep building.
- 01:29:09 SPEAKER_01 Thank you so much, Dave.
- 01:29:11 SPEAKER_01 Um, I also want to tell uh everyone to check out the uh... uh last last week meet the makers episode that we did.
- 01:29:18 SPEAKER_01 It's on our YouTube.
- 01:29:19 SPEAKER_01 Um uh uh we had like a really long uh... uh discussion about all sorts of things, including philosophy and tech uh relating to um um what uh the resolver team is working on.
- 01:29:31 SPEAKER_01 Really, really cool.
- 01:29:32 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, and I I saw your bounty up there today, John.
- 01:29:36 SPEAKER_01 Yes, yes, yes.

- 01:29:38 SPEAKER_01 This is the connections that I'm trying to make.
- 01:29:41 SPEAKER_01 We have a bounty up on resolver, which is a hackathon project for the integration of Bitcoin Connect, which is another hackathon project.
- 01:29:48 SPEAKER_01 So yeah, that's really awesome.
- 01:29:52 SPEAKER_01 Let's see if anyone can do it.
- 01:29:54 SPEAKER_01 Project inception all the way down.
- 01:29:56 SPEAKER_01 This is this is very important.
- 01:29:58 SPEAKER_01 This is how we support one another and stuff, you know.
- 01:30:00 SPEAKER_01 So we build those connections.
- 01:30:02 SPEAKER_01 Um all right, guys.

- 01:30:13 SPEAKER_01 Um, we've gone quite a bit over.
- 01:30:16 SPEAKER_01 Uh uh I I underestimated how excited everyone was to show off their projects and stuff.
- 01:30:22 SPEAKER_01 So um really really appreciate that.
- 01:30:24 SPEAKER_01 Um, but uh yeah, I need to uh uh take a quick break and uh we'll be able to do it.
- 01:30:28 SPEAKER_01 Quick break, and uh we'll be back on and do the prize giving ceremony.
- 01:30:35 SPEAKER_01 Um I think I I'm able to put like some like chill music in the background in the meantime.
- 01:30:41 SPEAKER_01 So you guys can decide Acoustic cinematic, dance pop, daydreaming, or into space.
- 01:30:57 SPEAKER_01 We'll be back soon.
- 01:51:49 SPEAKER_01 All right, all right.
- 01:51:51 SPEAKER_01 We are back again.
- 01:51:54 SPEAKER_01 We are back again.
- 01:51:56 SPEAKER_01 Uh, I'm calling in from the cupboard, and it is time.
- 01:52:01 SPEAKER_01 It is time to announce the legend. and the runners up.
- 01:52:12 SPEAKER_01 It's been it's been a long night.
- 01:52:14 SPEAKER_01 It's been a long um judging process.
- 01:52:19 SPEAKER_01 And uh the judges have put in quite a bit of work here.
- 01:52:23 SPEAKER_01 Um I'm really proud and happy for all the contributions and stuff that we've gotten.
- 01:52:28 SPEAKER_01 I have to thank everyone again.
- 01:52:30 SPEAKER_01 Unfortunately, I'm usually here joined by uh uh someone, um uh... uh Marina isn't feeling well today.
- 01:52:38 SPEAKER_01 Um, a lot of our team isn't feeling so well.
- 01:52:41 SPEAKER_01 So um uh uh I'm a bit under the weather, but hey, we gotta keep going.
- 01:52:47 SPEAKER_01 Bitcoin doesn't sleep, right?
- 01:52:49 All right.
- 01:52:50 SPEAKER_01 So Legends of Lightning.
- 01:52:52 SPEAKER_01 This is a tournament that started in October, um, and it is uh... uh it got finalized.
- 01:53:00 SPEAKER_01 Um uh uh at least pictures pictures were due on the13th.
- 01:53:05 SPEAKER_01 And uh since then we've been going through the whole judging process and stuff like that.
- 01:53:10 SPEAKER_01 And you know, we started this to um... um one, bring the community together.
- 01:53:15 SPEAKER_01 Um uh when I say community, the whole entire Bitcoin community um to come together.
- 01:53:21 SPEAKER_01 We partnered um um since the beginning, we partnered with um different conferences and hackathons.
- 01:53:27 SPEAKER_01 Um the first one was Building for Africa.
- 01:53:29 SPEAKER_01 Um we um we we managed that uh... uh hackathon last year.
- 01:53:34 SPEAKER_01 It was a track on the first legends of lightning.
- 01:53:37 SPEAKER_01 Some really cool projects came out of that.
- 01:53:40 SPEAKER_01 Um uh uh it was really great to see people from all over the world hacking, having events and stuff like that, and that energy definitely showed up uh uh um again uh this year.
- 01:53:53 SPEAKER_01 Um I was looking at uh... uh the adopting bitcoin um videos um uh... uh because there were some pictures um uh happening there, and it was just like so cool to see that you know um I'm not there uh... uh on the ground, but there's like in some way completely different, you know, legends of lightning things are happening, and you know, projects are presenting live on stage, and um you kind of feel disconnected uh from it when you're uh uh uh you know behind the computer managing the the like everything um uh uh virtually.
- 01:54:30 SPEAKER_01 You guys are all amazing.
- 01:54:33 SPEAKER_01 Um where bold fun has come um uh in the past uh... uh two years.
- 01:54:39 SPEAKER_01 It's uh it's been incredible.
- 01:54:40 SPEAKER_01 I think we've had some uh big impact um in the ecosystem as well.
- 01:54:45 SPEAKER_01 Um that's a pat on my back.
- 01:54:48 SPEAKER_01 And the teams as well, of course.
- 01:54:50 SPEAKER_01 Teamwork makes the dream work.
- 01:54:52 SPEAKER_01 But a lot of this would not have been possible without the continued um support uh from Fogger.
- 01:55:00 SPEAKER_01 Um you know, uh they've always uh sponsored our prizes and um and uh supported um us uh uh in advice and stuff like that for what we're doing.
- 01:55:12 SPEAKER_01 Um just put it out there, we're not a funded company, you know.
- 01:55:16 SPEAKER_01 We... we um um we we typically just look for sponsors from um... um different um uh companies or VCs or whatever that want to put on hackathons and stuff for us.
- 01:55:27 SPEAKER_01 Um and uh the space is small um and it's difficult to run a bitcoin business, um, actually, um, or even uh figure out how to create a sustainable community.
- 01:55:39 SPEAKER_01 And um any kind of support we get, it's super appreciated, but especially for the um kind of trust um uh uh that Fulga has put on us, um, I I can't thank um Ola and Michaela and Filippo and the whole team over there um enough.
- 01:55:55 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, so if you guys are looking uh for you know turning your hackathon project into uh
- 01:56:02 SPEAKER_01 Fun project into uh startup like officially and stuff like that.
- 01:56:06 SPEAKER_01 Definitely reach out to Fulger Ventures, um, that's Fulga.vent
- 01:56:10 SPEAKER_01 Ventures, and um, yeah, reach out to them.
- 01:56:13 SPEAKER_01 Uh I think we have a widget on the website for the office hours and stuff like that.
- 01:56:17 SPEAKER_01 Um, yeah, check them out.
- 01:56:19 SPEAKER_01 Uh they funded some of them, you know, most critical projects in the space.
- 01:56:25 SPEAKER_01 And um and yeah, yeah, yeah, just again, um uh check them out and um thanks so much, guys for the support.
- 01:56:32 SPEAKER_01 We are bold fun, you know.
- 01:56:34 SPEAKER_01 We help people build on Bitcoin, we help people launch their dreams, and um and bold fun in itself is is you know was a dream of mine to create this kind of like fun, exciting um kind of uh... uh what they call it, uh experience, right?
- 01:56:52 SPEAKER_01 Uh... uh burst uh uh uh innovation into the um into the bitcoin into the bitcoin ecosystem.
- 01:57:01 SPEAKER_01 And um, yeah, that's just our slide.
- 01:57:05 SPEAKER_01 Um so as I mentioned, we started on the5th of October, um, from the9th um to the15th, actually a little after that, I think we had educational programs.
- 01:57:17 SPEAKER_01 We typically for all our tournaments, uh we want to encourage people who have not built um a bitcoin product or project before.
- 01:57:26 SPEAKER_01 Um we want to encourage them and uh enable them to be able to participate.
- 01:57:30 SPEAKER_01 Uh smaller um smaller time frames for hackathons and stuff.
- 01:57:35 SPEAKER_01 Um do not allow you know people to learn as much.
- 01:57:38 SPEAKER_01 So we elongated the time um and always have educational programs mixed in with like the hacking.
- 01:57:45 SPEAKER_01 You can start on the5th of October, or you can start on the15th after you kind of like um uh uh understand some of the key components and stuff that we from the curriculum.
- 01:57:57 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, uh what else?
- 01:58:00 SPEAKER_01 What else?
- 01:58:00 SPEAKER_01 What else?
- 01:58:01 SPEAKER_01 In numbers.
- 01:58:00 SPEAKER_01 What else?
- 01:58:00 SPEAKER_01 What else?
- 01:58:01 SPEAKER_01 What else?
- 01:58:01 SPEAKER_01 In numbers, we had230.
- 01:58:04 SPEAKER_01 Actually, it's a bit more than this, but our calculations were off.
- 01:58:07 SPEAKER_01 But um237 makers, um, according to uh the widget.
- 01:58:12 SPEAKER_01 Um69 different projects, uh20 different workshops.
- 01:58:17 SPEAKER_01 Um we're giving out uh2.5
- 01:58:19 SPEAKER_01 bitcoin, all that sponsored by Fogger.
- 01:58:22 SPEAKER_01 It's about110k in fiat, um right now.
- 01:58:26 SPEAKER_01 Uh amazing.
- 01:58:27 SPEAKER_01 We had about five partner conferences.
- 01:58:30 SPEAKER_01 That was um uh uh yeah, TabCon, Thunderbelt, Adopting Bitcoin, um Fascon.
- 01:58:37 SPEAKER_01 Um, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing one more.
- 01:58:40 SPEAKER_01 Damn it.
- 01:58:41 SPEAKER_01 But anyway, oh uh and the Indonesia Bitcoin Conference as well.
- 01:58:45 SPEAKER_01 We also um uh uh have kind of like relationships and stuff with different hubs and communities around the world.
- 01:58:53 SPEAKER_01 Um we had about three of them.
- 01:58:54 SPEAKER_01 Atlanta showed up in a big way, did some super amazing um uh... uh hacking and events, uh social events and and various different events um uh during the course of the last two months.
- 01:59:07 SPEAKER_01 Um uh... uh also uh um there were teams coming out of Pleblab, and um, and you know, we... we uh... uh were working out of um um hub21 in Belgrade.
- 01:59:21 SPEAKER_01 What we always say is fun is mandatory, um uh... uh and there was an infinite amount of fun there, um, you know, uh a testament to um um you know uh creating a experience and environment that allows people to share their knowledge and innovate, you know.
- 01:59:40 SPEAKER_01 Um I guess it can be stressful with the amount of time and the kind of like you know you want to get the price and compete, but I keep hearing a lot of people say, you know, like I've learned so much from um like like during the past two months.
- 01:59:53 SPEAKER_01 So um uh and they're coming back uh... uh to participate in our tournaments, so
- 01:59:58 SPEAKER_01 To participate in our tournaments.
- 01:59:59 SPEAKER_01 So I think that's an infinite amount of fun.
- 02:00:03 SPEAKER_01 The first prize for the legend is gonna be one Bitcoin.
- 02:00:08 SPEAKER_01 Now we don't have um uh uh second and like yeah, second and third, uh really.
- 02:00:14 SPEAKER_01 We we we just have like two runners up, the slides are wrong, but that's gonna be0.5
- 02:00:18 SPEAKER_01 bitcoin each for the runners up.
- 02:00:23 SPEAKER_01 We are also going to have a separate award ceremony later this week um for0.125
- 02:00:30 SPEAKER_01 BTC.
- 02:00:31 SPEAKER_01 Um I will give more information on that a bit later.
- 02:00:36 SPEAKER_01 Today we are only going to be announcing the legend and the um the runners up, all right.
- 02:00:43 SPEAKER_01 And uh without further ado, who's ready for it?
- 02:00:49 Everyone ready.
- 02:00:51 SPEAKER_01 Oh shout out to Bitcoin Miami Girls.
- 02:00:53 SPEAKER_01 Sorry about that, Dave.
- 02:00:55 SPEAKER_01 I uh uh I apologize, I apologize.
- 02:00:57 SPEAKER_01 Okay, so that that should be four different communities then.
- 02:01:01 SPEAKER_01 Um it's difficult to keep track.
- 02:01:03 SPEAKER_01 You guys need to like tell me and post it, but come on.
- 02:01:06 SPEAKER_01 All right, um, but yeah, all right, let's go into it.
- 02:01:13 SPEAKER_01 I think the next slide is one of the runners up.
- 02:01:16 SPEAKER_01 Let's see if I'm correct.
- 02:01:18 SPEAKER_01 Oh no, we're going for judges first.
- 02:01:20 SPEAKER_01 Hey, you know, you gotta you gotta keep people on their toes, right?
- 02:01:25 SPEAKER_01 Um, yes, this is important.
- 02:01:27 SPEAKER_01 Um, so our judging process, what does that look like?
- 02:01:31 SPEAKER_01 Um, you know, judges uh... uh you know score the various projects, they look at the demos, um, they look at the pictures, uh, they try to test out the uh the projects.
- 02:01:43 SPEAKER_01 Of course, not every time your project's gonna be working in production.
- 02:01:47 SPEAKER_01 We understand that that's why your pitch video is super important for us as well, and like uh like what you write up and say about your project.
- 02:01:54 SPEAKER_01 Um, we had Oleg from Fulga Ventures.
- 02:01:56 SPEAKER_01 And Oleg from Fulga Ventures, Morris from Alby, um Roy from Breeze, John Carvalho from Cinem, Lisa from Base58, Jack Amo from Plan B, Max Webster, Christopher, Christoph O'Neill from Bitcoin Design, Alice from Stillmark, Mike from Lightning Ventures, and of course, yes, truly from Peak Shift.
- 02:02:22 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, and yeah, so the judges score um uh on a scale from uh one to ten all of the projects, and we um uh kind of like tally um um tally things up.
- 02:02:34 SPEAKER_01 Not all projects uh... uh have to be um uh uh scored, not all seven, not all seven of the criteria, which are there, um have to be scored by each judge.
- 02:02:46 SPEAKER_01 So we have like an opt-out kind of system, right?
- 02:02:49 SPEAKER_01 And um and yeah, so it's a um that's just to say it's a very long process um uh uh to do the judging.
- 02:02:57 SPEAKER_01 Um uh it's it's quite critical.
- 02:02:59 SPEAKER_01 A lot of people have put a lot of work into what they're doing.
- 02:03:02 SPEAKER_01 Um, we're trying to, you know, fairly um uh... uh distribute the funds.
- 02:03:08 SPEAKER_01 Um, you know, we have relationships with people in the ecosystem, so you know, um like like like like like like like like like like like these like Fulga, for example, they have capital.
- 02:03:17 SPEAKER_01 We um create the environment uh to enable people to build and then you know get to distribute that capital um uh... uh to projects and teams that uh want to build sustainable things, right?
- 02:03:29 SPEAKER_01 So um, yeah, that's sustainability is a really big part of what we do.
- 02:03:34 SPEAKER_01 We want to see things that are lasting in the ecosystem, not just like uh built and then throw thrown away because as cool as it is, it doesn't provide that much value um in the long run.
- 02:03:48 SPEAKER_01 Um it's good to have something that you just like experiment with, which is like perfectly great.
- 02:03:56 SPEAKER_01 But for led and we have smaller um hackathons and stuff for just for learning and experimenting, but Legends of Lightning specifically is especially for building sustainable things, and we really want to see you never know where it can go, though, right?
- 02:04:11 SPEAKER_01 That's the risk, you know.
- 02:04:13 SPEAKER_01 But at least if you're better on yourself, um, you know, we want to bet on you, basically.
- 02:04:19 SPEAKER_01 All right, I think the next one is the runner up.
- 02:04:22 SPEAKER_01 So drumroll, everyone.
- 02:04:25 SPEAKER_01 The first runners up are resolver, a P2P bounty marketplace integrated uh with integrated dispute resolution.
- 02:04:36 SPEAKER_01 Um, this was a very interesting project.
- 02:04:39 SPEAKER_01 Um you are the winner of uh uh0.5
- 02:04:43 SPEAKER_01 bitcoin and the runner up for the legend of lightning.
- 02:04:47 SPEAKER_01 I don't know if uh Dave or any of the team members are there if you guys want to hop on um in the um stream yard uh come on in and uh... uh I'll get you up on here.
- 02:05:02 SPEAKER_01 The next runner up for the Legend Prize, the legendary prize is Drumroll.
- 02:05:12 SPEAKER_01 USDP by10101, another very very incredible project.
- 02:05:18 SPEAKER_01 Um, I think this is quite um significant, uh, especially with um you know all what's happening in uh... uh the custodial space in the Bitcoin um ecosystem right now.
- 02:05:32 SPEAKER_01 And um, you know, uh... uh we do need to invest more in non-custodial tools, and this team is doing some really amazing work pushing that non custodial um uh uh tooling and... and user experience.
- 02:05:48 SPEAKER_01 Um so yeah, really, really fantastic.
- 02:05:51 SPEAKER_01 And also um, you know.
- 02:05:52 SPEAKER_01 So you know, uh it's kind of funny, and... and I think this is uh... uh a good lesson for for everyone here.1011
- 02:06:04 SPEAKER_01 didn't um uh uh participated uh... uh with the base of their application and the first legends of lightning.
- 02:06:11 SPEAKER_01 Um uh uh they didn't make it to uh... uh to uh... uh they didn't win a prize at that point.
- 02:06:18 SPEAKER_01 Um, but the team kept on, they kept on, they kept on building.
- 02:06:22 SPEAKER_01 It's a year later, and they're truly you know, like the UX for what they've done, um, the polish of what they've done, um, and everything else around uh forming a business is just um it's just something to really um really be proud of um and... and admire.
- 02:06:39 SPEAKER_01 So um this tournament isn't just about winning the money, I hope, you know, although we do the biggest hackathons and the biggest prices and the most participation and stuff like that.
- 02:06:50 SPEAKER_01 It's not just about that, it's about sustainability and building something big and lasting.
- 02:06:56 SPEAKER_01 It's not gonna just like happen like straight away, and you're not gonna necessarily see success straight away, you know.
- 02:07:03 SPEAKER_01 You gotta keep keep with it.
- 02:07:05 SPEAKER_01 So we got Dave from Resolver and Aaron as well.

- 02:09:48 SPEAKER_01 for uh... uh for you you know usdp uh uh uh denominated uh uh disputes non custodial it is so critical so so so very critical you know um... um again like the the the environment now is not very friendly um um to custodial ship and stuff like that so it's very important that we you know especially when you're building in a hackathon and stuff like that for you know uh let's try to win the prize it's easy to just say let's put it in a database and stuff like this you know um... um so people who are working on non-custodial thing I think that this is this this was a special round round of applause so amazing work amazing work uh you guys can stay tuned for finding out who the legend is oh yeah all right how do I do this how do I do this all right so the legend of lightning for this year is that's a run up I'm really bad at like building it's late guys I'm sorry you know it's late the legend is Bitcoin Connect so the Bitcoin connect team they worked on this open source um developer tool uh... uh that pretty much anyone knowing a bit of HTML hey well that's cool you see I need to do that goddamn your production value is way higher than mine um this is uh something else that is going to I believe have like some big impact in the space for just like um allowing people to integrate um uh lightning functionality into their websites and stuff um uh uh one of I don't know if he's around here Renee uh... uh if you're if you're around or anyone on the team please hop hop in on the stream um um but when we started uh... uh bold fun we wanted uh uh our first hackathon was called shop the web, it lasted for a week.
- 02:11:56 SPEAKER_01 Um we had the same educational kind of like things going on, um, but it was focused on getting people to not just build wallets alone.
- 02:12:07 SPEAKER_01 I'm sorry for that.
- 02:12:07 SPEAKER_01 You're building a different kind of wallet, relax.
- 02:12:09 SPEAKER_01 Okay, it's different wallets, it's a different wallet.
- 02:12:11 SPEAKER_01 You just need to add contact there, and then we'll talk about that, though.
- 02:12:15 SPEAKER_01 Right, but but you know, people were just like um in the bitcoin design, just uh uh building wallets, wallets, wallets, wall as well as all the time, right?
- 02:12:23 SPEAKER_01 And I'm like Bitcoin can do so much more.
- 02:12:26 SPEAKER_01 We need to kind of like if you didn't have to think about the wallet, think about all the other stuff that you can do.
- 02:12:32 SPEAKER_01 So we were promoting kind of like web Ln and stuff like that, because if you have the extension, then you just get to work on the use case, right?
- 02:12:40 SPEAKER_01 And you're not having to build out the whole accounting system and all that, that takes a lot of time, and we see from other things happening in the ecosystem how rolling accounting systems ain't that easy, you know, um, balance checks and all.
- 02:12:54 SPEAKER_01 So um uh what we saw on that first legends or um um that first shock the web hackathon was that we had people who did never built on bitcoin before, right?
- 02:13:07 SPEAKER_01 Never built a lightning app before, didn't even know like about bitcoin or whatever, they were you know able to use some JavaScript libraries and build a small hackathon project, right?
- 02:13:21 SPEAKER_01 And some of these people uh gonna say it, Rene.
- 02:13:27 SPEAKER_01 Congratulations, guys everyone, thanks very much.
- 02:13:35 SPEAKER_01 Renee, I like I hope you don't mind if I tell the story, but um, you guys uh like you got into the... the industry like like like like like like like like like like like working in the industry through um that first hackathon was
- 02:13:44 SPEAKER_01 Um the first hackathon, wasn't it?
- 02:13:47 SPEAKER_01 Exactly, yeah.
- 02:13:48 SPEAKER_01 It's quite some some some some some some some some some some some time back already, but uh yeah back then I was like building I think the first hackathon is it was this like stupid little Richard, right?
- 02:14:00 SPEAKER_02 Yeah.
- 02:14:02 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, and it's amazing.
- 02:14:04 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
- 02:14:06 SPEAKER_01 I mean all these hackathons, all these projects.
- 02:14:09 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, I feel humbled to be here.
- 02:14:13 SPEAKER_01 Amazing.
- 02:14:13 SPEAKER_01 And yeah, your journey has also been um uh quite amazing, Roland as well.
- 02:14:18 SPEAKER_01 Yeah, like I don't know if we you should have some disqualifiers because Roland was on the team last year that won.
- 02:14:25 SPEAKER_01 So I don't know if we'll see.
- 02:14:36 SPEAKER_01 Uh uh what are you gonna say?
- 02:14:37 SPEAKER_01 You gotta do your acceptance speech now.
- 02:14:41 SPEAKER_07 I I guess I could start um yeah, both both fun uh uh brought me into working in coin full time.
- 02:14:49 SPEAKER_07 So um this is a really amazing opportunity, and I think with Bitcoin Connect, uh we can bring this to the masses, you know, bring it to more developers.
- 02:14:59 SPEAKER_07 Um you know, expand to different platforms, uh native apps, game engines, all these things where right now only these web3 uh you know APIs and web three projects exist, and that's why some developers uh go to those tools rather than using Bitcoin.
- 02:15:20 SPEAKER_07 So uh I think we have an amazing opportunity here with Bitcoin Connect that can be the blueprint for uh uh for the development going forward.
- 02:15:30 SPEAKER_01 Amazing, amazing work, guys.
- 02:15:33 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, I'm very excited to see how at future hackathons and stuff uh people start using Bitcoin Connect and stuff.
- 02:15:41 SPEAKER_01 You know, every every now and then I uh... uh Renna.
- 02:15:44 SPEAKER_01 You said stupid widget, every now and then I'm browsing some Bitcoin blog or whatever, and I see this donation button on the this donation widget, and I'm like, how is it here?
- 02:15:55 SPEAKER_03 Like I just wanted to say exactly the same.
- 02:15:59 SPEAKER_03 Like I I found it unlike some because I'm active on PTC map as well, tagging you know merchants on the maps, and I found like a some very obscure website that probably no one lands on, and there was a there was a renness we did there.
- 02:16:13 SPEAKER_03 Yeah, it's not the stupid widget.
- 02:16:16 SPEAKER_01 Exactly.
- 02:16:16 SPEAKER_01 It's not it's not and by the way, guys.
- 02:16:18 SPEAKER_01 This widget is it's just like uh you know this HTML widget that you put your lightning address in, and it allows people to um donate.
- 02:16:26 SPEAKER_01 And that's how simple our initial hackathon projects were at Shop the Web, you know.
- 02:16:32 SPEAKER_01 Um this was two years ago, uh yeah, I think two years ago now, and you know, people weren't as much like understanding like the crazy stuff that Resolver is doing in the web and stuff like that, you know, with Nasta and all that.
- 02:16:44 SPEAKER_01 People weren't doing that two years ago, like that that that wasn't being done, you know.
- 02:16:50 SPEAKER_01 Um, so to see where like you know USDP uh dispute resolution DLC blah blah blah is happening.
- 02:16:59 SPEAKER_01 Um yeah, it's uh it's it's it's it's it's it's quite amazing.
