Satsraiser: make the Stacker News community a sponsor of BTC++ Berlin hackathon

bitcoin++ conference is headed to Berlin Oct. 6-7 and is focused on Nix and Bitcoin.

Between our two offices, @niftynei pitched me on SN becoming a sponsor for the hackathon, but I thought it'd be way cooler if the Stacker News community was the sponsor. I can't imagine an online community has satrsaised a hackathon sponsorship before. How cool would that be!

Nifty said typical threshold for this is 7.5m sats. I'm not sure we can hit that threshold, but maybe we can raise enough to sponsor Hot Pockets and Mountain Dew for the bitcoin hackers at the conference.

@niftynei how did all the talks and workshops in Berlin go?

How many attendees got to know about SN?

...plus (far more importantly) how many hungry bellies did SN's satsraiser fill?

130 sats \ 1 reply \ @niftynei fwd 27 Oct 2023

hey! they went really well! we had about 100particpants; but only 3 hackathon entries. short hackathon time tho (just a 1/2 day).

the satsraiser raised about 1.6M sats total, which went to Jonas Nick + Eric Sirion's "niximint" project. They split the prize; Jonas's portion went to the nix-bitcoin "donation fund" from which we pay hosting, DNS, etc; Eric sent his to a Fedimint grant pool that he manages.

Thanks everyone for supporting the conference!

Berlin... beer. I do not see the beer barrels there...

Please install a BeerTap like these, post the QR code on SN and any stacker could send sats to pay for those beers.

Tip: install a webcam so we can see when you get drunk 😂😂😂

just because you say it, will send another megabolt I always do that... send a small amount (just to be the first zapper) then increase gradually the zap So not everybody will notice my zaps you can zap unlimited times a post, each time with a different amount. A beauty this SN!
