Now there's an idea!
https://pretalx.bitfest.uk/bitfest-2026/cfp
he new Bitfest 2026 site is live. ⚡
4 days. 7 events. 9 zones across Manchester.
The first speaker wave is up too — builders, creators, artists, educators and Bitcoiners, with plenty more still to come.
This year stretches from Bitflix and Nostrshire through nPub Dub, Bitfest, Pepe.X, New Music Economy and Sunday Socials.
Talks. Workshops. Art. Gaming. Music. Builders. Businesses. Family activities. And plenty of Bitcoin IRL.
Have a scroll:
https://bitfest.uk
And because this is Nostr…
Who, or what, do you want to see at Bitfest this year?
Tag them. Tell us what you'd like to see built, discussed, hacked on or argued about.
First wave. Definitely not the final line-up. 😏

Friday at Bitfest isn’t just another conference day.
@nprofile…3h9g takes over the daytime programme at Pendulum with talks, workshops, exhibition and the Hack Zone.
Then the conversation carries on at NPub Dub at Joshua Brooks.
That’s much closer to how Bitcoin and Nostr communities actually work: people build, argue, teach, experiment, then carry the conversation into the night.
Manchester · 20–22 November

Chocolate making at a Bitcoin festival? 🍫🟠
Roger9000’s family-friendly cacao workshop brought kids, families and attendees together for something hands-on, creative and very different from the usual conference format.

Why has Bitcoin become a worldwide phenomenon? 🌍🟠
We asked people at Bitfest 2025. The answers covered freedom, community, access, technology and the need for an alternative.
There is no single story. That is the point.

🎞️ New Bitfest video just dropped.
@nprofile…a9n5 brought serious energy to the New Music Economy Concert at Bitfest 2025, showing exactly why music deserves a place at every Bitcoin festival. 🎤

It did happen within 24 hours of posting our Nostr blog links. 💯
Apparently they received a “report” and the suspension was placed under their “authenticity” rules. 😑
Turns out on deeper investigation their AI spam/support/complete programmed running off Grok back end staff, is having a meltdown as 000’s of users affected going by the dev forum posts. Oh btw that is the same dev forum that has distanced itself from the issue, citing that the dev forum is only for dev stuff and above the level of dealing with petty requests from peasants highlighting that their coding and AI infrastructure is broken. 😮💨
@npub1s0x…3h9d posted a thread recently on there about it.
And so it begins…🟠
