Free and Open Source ChatGPT with open source Large Language Models
Silicon valley elites are pouring billions of dollars in building closed AI systems that can ingest all of our data. Then scare politicians into creating regulations that install them as overlords. They will not win in that game because of millions of Plebs like us band together, build in public (#buildinpublic), democratize AI access for all and beat them in their own game. All PlebAI agents are Nostr users.
We call this movement PlebAI.

**Welcome FOSS hackers and creatives who care deeply about freedom technology!** Join us & the team behind Jack Dorsey's Nostrasia freedom conference, for a month-long hackathon bridging Bitcoin and [NOSTR (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays)](https://nostr.com/), culminating with a special three day sprint and live event in Tokyo at the [Nostrasia Conference](https://nostr.world). **Be a Part of the Early Days of Nostr** Help build the future of Nostr! Like the early days of Bitcoin or of the Internet, Nostr is nascent open technology shaping new types of social experiences to connect people across the globe. It carries a foundation of principles similar to Bitcoin, like decentralization, simplicity, and censorship-resistance. **Orange-Pill people through the Purple-Nostr-Pill** Bitcoin and Nostr communities are in synergy. What started as a social protocol is quickly transforming into a space for exploration on ways to support content creators through bitcoin lightning micro payments, often referred to as zaps. Bitcoin integration to the nostr protocol strengthens Bitcoin's use case as a currency of exchange. It carves new paths to a culture of [value4value](https://value4value.info/). **Help People HODL their Keys (Social+Monetary)** Nostr exists outside of the rule of platforms and those who seek to control them. HODLing your nostr keys is hodling your identity and social graph, outside of KYC. By helping develop and educate on NOSTR, you are helping people escape walled gardens & gain control and choice over their identities & their money. The Internet, over time, has become centralized, help Nostr stay decentralized by supporting the growth of an ecosystem of apps, websites, microapps, relay services... **Permissionless Building** Opportunities abound in an environment ripe for innovation: * Develop & design new nostr white label clients, middleware, microapps... * Help improve existing Nostr FOSS projects * Contribute directly to protocol development through NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) * Encourage nostr and bitcoin adoption through art, education, and any way you like **Hack in a Supportive Environment** We have a growing list of knowledgeable people with skin-in-the-game to mentor and support your journey. Once your project matures, you may also have 1-on-1 guidance to help you reach your vision and discover ways of growing and funding it. Nostr has a blossoming community open to innovation. It is also a great testing ground, as people in the community are open to giving and receiving feedback. It is an environment encouraging conversation on feature ideas as well as possible solutions to social media issues and product bugs.
## Tournament Details Following the successful first edition of the hacking tournament Legends of Lightning, we decided to continue the series by sponsoring the second edition, Legends of Lightning 2. This edition will see a more ambitious attempt to onboard international developers onto Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, by connecting 5 in-person hackathons worldwide and allowing its participants to iterate over their projects in sight of the final demo day (17th December) **Submissions end on December 10th!** ### Why In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, Bitcoin and the Lightning Network are becoming instrumental in shaping the future of financial transactions. Strengthening and scaling this paradigm shift necessitates not just knowledgeable developers, but also those who can apply this expertise to devise innovative, practical solutions. This hackathon is designed to offer a platform for skilled developers to exhibit their proficiency and creativity in building with Bitcoin. It's a stage to showcase their adeptness in not only navigating the intricacies of the Bitcoin development ecosystem, but also their ability to leverage this knowledge to construct tangible, innovative solutions. ### What is our objective? Our aim is clear and potent: we aspire to enrich the Bitcoin community with a surge of talented, entrepreneurial developers and makers. We are dedicated to showcasing that the Bitcoin ecosystem is primed for substantial innovation, effective collaborations, and sustainable growth. It's a fertile space ready to nurture and bring to life the diverse and impactful ideas from its community. We envisage this hackathon as a beacon, attracting more founders to explore Bitcoin. We intend to immerse them in the essential principles of Bitcoin and Lightning, enlightening them about the critical challenges that need to be surmounted to achieve scalability. However, our ambitions transcend beyond developing technical literacy. We want to catalyse Bitcoin's adoption by endorsing it as a real-world problem-solving tool. We are vested in cultivating a generation of problem-solvers and pioneers who can demonstrate working prototypes of Bitcoin applications, prototypes that are more than concepts - they are ready for investment and primed to contribute to Bitcoin's evolution. In summary, our mission is to cultivate a dynamic, diverse, and inventive community of Bitcoin developers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. We believe in the power of Bitcoin to shape our digital future and are committed to exploring its limitless potential.
