Asher Pembroke
I'm an advocate for Bitcoin privacy, education, and outreach. Previous talks have ranged from intro to elliptic curves, to hashrate accounting for on-chain privacy, and time tracking for lightning invoices. For several years I led the NextGen village at TABConf, creating fun, hands-on family-friendly learning spaces. I'm trained as a plasma physicist (PhD), and I spent six years at NASA building data standards for space weather models and orbit predictions.

NostrMail is a cross-platform, end-to-end encrypted email client that bridges Nostr and traditional email protocols. NostrMail avoids the pitfalls of PGP by using Nostr for key discovery. It works with existing email providers like Gmail and uses wordlist encoding (e.g., BIP39) so signatures and ciphertext remain valid under forwarding and quoting. NostrMail is open source, cross-platform, and available now on the Zapstore.
