Feedback wanted: a site to find all Bitcoin conferences in one place

2334 sats \ 47 comments \ @alexz 10 Sep bitcoin

I recently launched a website that might be useful for anyone interested in Bitcoin events: bconf.org. It's a simple tool that brings together all the Bitcoin conferences happening around the world in one place.

A few things you can do on the site:

Find all upcoming Bitcoin conferences on a global map.
Filter by continent or location to see what's happening near you.
Submit a conference to be added to the site and help others discover new events.
Subscribe to a monthly newsletter to get new and upcoming conferences straight to your inbox, plus potential discounts.

I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions you might have! Feel free to check it out if you're into Bitcoin events. 😊

hmmm, this should've happened recently as I added it just a few weeks ago. Thanks for letting me know!

Wow I was thinking how great something like this would be just a few weeks ago! I only find out about conferences if come across their live stream on YouTube or if someone mentions so there are many im unaware of, I’m sure other people have the experience so this is very useful! Thank you for building this!

Exactly @ACwithAD! Appreciate your input.

This is the BitcoinMap of conferences.

Great idea. It increases the chances of accessing planned conferences. Also, knowing that a certain conference will be held on a certain date, we can plan our attendance if we can.

Thanks for this tool. Congratulations

That sounds amazing! Anything that connects people and brings them together, especially around something like Bitcoin, is so cool. I'm sure a lot of people will find it super helpful

India's events should also be listed here.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @alexz OP 11 Sep

Absolutely, @Athena! Just tell me what is missed or use https://bconf.org/submit

Great initiative!

Few thoughts:

Could this be a Nostr client? Users could submit conferences using their Nostr keys and earn zaps? Then the conference info would be available all over Nostr?

A bit like what Satlantis is doing, but conference-specific

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @alexz OP 12 Sep

Satlantis

are you talking about https://www.satlantis.io ? I registered and seems that I can post to location and add an event. Is it the functionality you're referring to?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @teemupleb 12 Sep

Yes. Every city has its own Events page.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @alexz OP 11 Sep

hi @teemupleb I will research Nostr integration as this is what people say quite often. Thank you for the valuable input!

Looks awesome! I'm sure these are already on your radar but if they aren't:

zoom in/out of the map
when I click on a conference on the map, show me the conference and detail about it
more info about the conferences

In general, I love how spartan it is. You can't go wrong with NOT overwhelming people, so I would try to maintain that while adding a more info, pictures, and color strategically.

I suspect this will be a nice cashflow business if you keep at it.

I love your feedback @k00b

Map improvements is something I was thinking about, appreciate the details.

Talking about minimalistic style – I couldn't agree more. Keeping things clean and simple not only enhances the user experience but also helps users focus on the key information without any unnecessary distractions. It's definitely a design approach I value and aim to maintain.

Thank you for the input!

It's a good idea.

Just wanna confirm.

This one is only for Bitcoin Conferences? Not for meetups, or it is for meetups as well?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @alexz OP 11 Sep

hi @Coinsreporter. At this moment in time, this is correct, however, I'm open to feature requests and willing to add the functionality people need. If meetups are something you'd like to see, please let me know!

This one is Bitcoin only not including bLoCKcHaIn, you should add a filter for bitcoin only.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @alexz OP 11 Sep

Hi @Car. The filter is not needed (at least for now) as all listed conferences are Bitcoin-only. If I accidentally made a mistake, could you please let me know? Also, thank you for the link!

Looks like a good idea! Will try to add from India if I find one.

Just some feedback, I'm on an Android phone. The text on the left top corner is not showed right.

And I was not able to apply any filters.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @alexz OP 11 Sep

talking about the filters - could you clarify what do you mean?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Bitcoiner1 11 Sep

I did not find a way to organize the data by location. It is arranged by default by date.

If I put my phone horizontally, I can see all the text.

I did not find a way to organize the data by location. It is arranged by default by date.

Just touch any continent and it will filter the table to show the data only for that location.

If I put my phone horizontally, I can see all the text.

Yep, the table is scrollable though, you can just scroll it horizontally even in default phone orientation.

wow, never seen it on Android but I tested it on the phones with wider screens and bigger pixel density. Thank you for reporting this one!

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @alexz OP 11 Sep

@Bitcoiner1 this should be fixed, could you check one more time, please?

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bitcoiner1 12 Sep

Yes. Now it shows the full text.

Instantly useful. 👀 Just found an event that I am booking local to me. This is getting bookmarked. Two suggestions:

When submitting a conference, require some sats to cover your costs and to keep low value spammy submissions away, not that I have seen any - but if this gains (more) traction, it will get hammered.
In addition to email alerts, offer nostr alerts.

added it to my to-do list. makes total sense to me 👍

awesome! I'm more interest in local meetups as i travel. Currently meetup .com is where I look for Satoshi Socials, bitcoin walks, etc. Any plans for adding smaller bitcoin events? pleb events
