Next we have Abhay Raizada on Breaking Out of the Bitcoin & Nostr Bubble
How do you stay true to the principles while making the project work in the real world?
Building an open-source project is one thing. Turning it into something sustainable is another. Abhay shares the realities of balancing community ideals with business practicalities, and the difficult decisions that shape a project as it grows.
Day 2 at the @thebitmela FOSS Stage starts with @_paperpsych
Back for another day of conversations, ideas, and hands-on work from people building in the open.
We're picking up where we left off. More Bitcoin, more open-source development, and more knowledge shared directly by the builders.

What if the unused disk space on your laptop or home computer could become part of a shared storage network?
@itsmanasdash is demoing a Nostr-based storage orchestrator that lets people pool spare storage without running a central server or exposing their public IP address.
The engineering challenge is coordinating storage across independent machines while keeping the system self-hostable and built on open protocols.
Instead of depending entirely on a central cloud provider, this approach explores how existing resources can be combined into distributed infrastructure.
Next up at BOSS Summit: @ajay_sehwal on Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) and its integration into @ZeusLN
NWC (NIP-47) lets apps communicate with Lightning wallets through encrypted messages over Nostr relays, without needing a direct connection to the node.
In ZEUS, connections can use QR codes or connection strings, with per-app permissions and spending limits. ZEUS can also connect to external NWC-compatible wallets.

Closing out the Day 3 sessions at BOSS Summit with @siddhantcookie on Formstr Drive.
Four attendees uploaded their first file to the drive and walked away with 1,000 sats each + @HeyFormstr merch.
Check it out: drive.formstr.app
That wraps up three days of technical sessions, demos, workshops, and builders sharing what they're working on.
But we're not done yet. For the next two days, Bitshala will be at the @thebitmela FOSS Stage. We'll be sharing updates from the stage and posting everything live on X as it happens.
Stay tuned, two exciting days ahead, adios! 🧡
Now on stage at BOSS Summit: @iamthesvn on Monetizing APIs with L402 and ngx_l402
What if an API could charge per request in sats, without API keys, subscriptions, or a central payment processor?
ngx_l402 is an open-source NGINX module that puts a Lightning paywall in front of existing HTTP APIs.
A client requests a protected endpoint. The server responds with 402 Payment Required and a Lightning invoice. After payment, the client provides the L402 credentials, and NGINX verifies them before forwarding the request.
This helps open up new ways to monetize APIs, AI inference, and machine-to-machine services over Lightning.
Code: github.com/ngx-l402/ngx-l402

In our latest article, Abhay breaks down Mailstr, how it works, the trade-offs, and why connecting Nostr to the existing email ecosystem matters.
What happens when we rethink email around open protocols, Nostr identities and user-controlled data?
Introducing Mailstr, read full article below⤵️

The list of companies backed by a16z is long, but none are more interesting than two: Flock and Toka.
Flock is well known for the surveillance cameras across thousands of American towns.
Toka is an Israeli firm that can hack cameras, altering both live and recorded footage.

Running Nostr-VPN.
Amazing experience. The only trouble I had was not being able to pair, then I realized I have proton vpn on.
It's all good, everything works, simple, intuitive, yummy.
Thank you @marttimalmi

Bitspace (@bitshala) has officially turned two!
A couple of days ago I sat down to make a video looking back at these two years and ended up choosing 250+ photos that capture the essence of Bitspace, out of which only 120 made it into this video.
Putting them together had me reliving and feeling so many of those moments so much more deeply, just from the nostalgia of it all.
All of it started with just Bitshala's discord, so many faces that were just PFPs on the cohort calls in the early days, PFPs from those calls who came to Bitspace and then never left.
@bitshala_org built the path for Bitcoin developer education in India and Bitspace kind of became the room at the end of it, but what actually made it Bitspace is you all, the people who kept showing up and kept building and kept making it feel more alive every single time you came by.
So, a massive thanks to the Indian Bitcoiners, for being here, for building in Bitcoin, for doing what you all do, and for turning a space into a home.
Here's to the next two years of @bitshala and @bitshala_org 🥂
And a special, extraaa special thanks to @HRF for their support for Bitspace.
If you've ever been to Bitspace and have a memory or a little story from it, please drop it in the comments, I'd genuinely love to read them all.
P.S. watch the video till the end, there's a teaser in there for what's coming next.

Creators, we’re at @VidCon this week!
At Divine, we're flipping the power dynamic.
We believe:
Creators should own their content.
Creators should own their connection to their audience.
And if someone follows you, they should actually see your posts.

Bitspace is two today.
We set out to build a place to work on Bitcoin but built a space to belong to.
A space woven into nearly every bitcoin story being written in India now.
And we owe it to the strangers that walked in and stayed long enough to call Bitspace home.
Onwards.

Divine 1.0.14 is live on iOS.
Three weeks of work since 1.0.12 — more control, cleaner loops, fewer weird edges. This one’s for the people who notice the details.

How will Divine make money?
We have a different idea of what social media can be, & will be experimenting with models to support creators.
Our founder, @rabble, explains what social media can look like when creators own their domain & have real tools to grow their communities.
