SKY IS THE LIMIT - Uncle Rockstar
summary
A developer traces a path from forum poster to building real code and community: opening PRs, recording short demo videos, and shipping features in BTC Pay Server, which the talk claims helped make a $60 million-funded competitor obsolete. That work leads to backend contributions at Strike and organizing around Nostr, plus conference meetups in Miami and Riga. The core claim is concrete: find a team, deliver reproducible code and outreach materials, and the project and network actually grow.
