A true P2P marketplace without third party escrow.
Join us for a night where we discuss some of the difficult questions surrounding P2P marketplaces. Skepticism is sure to be high as we are all aware of other bitcoin related marketplaces that have been in the news. You've already been introduced to OpenBazaar (https://openbazaar.org/) early this year through the San Diego Bitcoin Meetup Group. Now we are going to get a very special visit from the Lead Dev at https://voluntary.net and the man with the plan, Steve Dekorte.
Bitmarkets.org got its start after Steve decided to put his thoughts down on paper for a concept of a decentralized market in 2013. After great feedback Steve was joined by a few colleagues to help create the elements that would eventually form Bitmarkets.org (https://voluntary.net/bitmarkets/). Steve is a programmer based out of San Francisco that's best for for authoring the programming language Io.
The public beta version was released Nov. 19th 2014. We will be celebrating the 1 year Anniversary of the release with Steve.

After we wrap up the event, we usually mozey on over to Berkeley Pizza where we are still trying to convince the owner Dan, who've I've also bugged at the NorthPark location, to accept bitcoin. Remind them the Inside Bitcoins Conference is coming to San Diego Dec. 14-16th.
UPDATE
PARKING SITUATION
People will have to find parking on the street where it is free after 6 PM.
After 6pm Yellow Loading Zones are available to park in also.
Alternatively, there are 3 parking structures nearby that are 2-3 blocks away but charge anywhere fro $5 - $12 depending if it also falls on an event (Convention Center events or Stadium events).
Horton Plaza Mall - 3 hour parking free with validation inside the mall.
Here's a map of the parking structures and prices:

Be sure to zoom into Convention Center area and near 4th Ave. There are actually more than 3 and also set the time after 6 PM so it calculates the rates correctly.
Hope that helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with!
See you then. Rain or Shine.
