I like running and i like bitcoin and ethereum. I’m building Spacemesh.

If I may ask: do you think it is unreasonable to gate access using certain criteria for a limited capacity in person event?

While there are legit concerns perhaps on not being easily able to understand what an active badge is, I am sure community members can help answer if you asked around.

Unlearning. Built @nftsoffc. Full time product manager. Part time builder/tinkerer on farcaster. Working on something.

Events have limited capacity, I get that. I think one issue is not announcing those criteria - if they were announced, I missed that. Another is that I didn't receive any response to my application, not even a polite rejection, a waitlist, a suggestion of alternative events, etc.
