London Bitcoin Meetup

Networking evening with Circle and Mike Hearn @ Club Workspace

January 21, 2014 · 6:30 PM
Club Workspace

We're pleased to announce that the team from Circle are going to be in London on Tuesday 21st January and they'd like to get to meet the London bitcoin community.

Join us at Club Workspace in Clerkenwell where we'll host an informal evening with presentations from CEO, Jeremy Allaire, and CTO, Sean Neville.

We're also very pleased to announce that core Bitcoin developer, Mike Hearn, will be joining Jeremy and Sean and will also be taking to the stage. If you're new to bitcoin, be sure to check out some of Mike's previous presentations - fascinating stuff.

This event is weighted towards those of you that are exploring business opportunities in the bitcoin space and will hopefully also provide a platform for you to discuss ideas and connect with investors and business/technical partners.

If you're new to bitcoin and are hoping to learn more about the basics, we'll be holding our next bootcamp at TechHub in February.

Presentations will take up less time on this occasion in order to allow room for an open-mic session where ideas can be pitched and services can be offered.

Many of you will have heard about Circle's well funded launch recently but visit their website if you'd like to know more:

We'll post a schedule for the evening nearer the time.

See you there

Hello guys, I wanna sell some BTC, what should be the best way to do it, Localbitcoins or Bittylicious ?

  Getting set up as a seller on Bittylicious is relatively complicated. Only if you have a lot to sell or are able to sell on a regular basis is it really worth it.]

  Marc, how much is a lot because I can do it on a regular basis, that's not a problem... I think I like Bittylicious more because my rank is zer0 on Localbitcoins...

  I guess three or so per week would be a reasonable minimum. If you're technical, getting set up isn't that hard, but there are things to do like setting up SSL keys and running PHP (all instructions are given).

  Good, let me read the Bittylicious wikiw page, prepare everything and then I will try to contact you.

Hi guys, this is kind of unrelated - and apologies if this is the wrong place to it, but whilst we've got bitcoin enthusiasts on here - I wanted to give a quick plug to my music.

We released this tune a year before #Satoshi released #bitcoin. Makes more sense now than it ever did before, and I'm thinking of writing and recording another verse for this based on cryptocurrency...

The first verse is me rapping, the second is my mate. https://myspace.com/braindamage86/music/song/money-money-money-25402510-25203695

Let me know your thoughts...

Excellent. Particularly interested in Mike Hearn's talk on forthcoming features in bitcoin. Had some great conversations with a range of smart people who are giving cryptocurrency serious thought. Thanks very much to organisers.

Great evening. Well done to all involved. Look forward to seeing the UKDCA launch. Happy to hear from more BitCoin businesses seeking funding. Great start to 2014.

  Hi Thomas. Apologies but we're already up at the limit for now. There may be a handful of additional places released nearer the time depending upon internal subscribers at Club Workspace, our venue sponsors. We will be sending reminders for attendees to update their RSVP's if they can no longer attend. This usually creates some room for those on the waiting list too but is based on a queuing system.

  Paul, Thanks for the information. Any chance there might be a move to a bigger venue? The London Futurists had the issue where too many people wanted to come so they picked a larger place. (That had its downsides, though, as the original meeting place was going to be at Google!)

  Hi Thomas. I'm afraid that, so close to the event, we're not going to be able to move venues. We have made it our policy to try to keep our events free to attend and we have been able to do this with support from our venue sponsors who have provided their event space for free. I think it would be bad form to pull out on Club Workspace at this late stage and as we're keen to work with them again in the future. I'll take responsibility for not gauging demand on this occasion but we had relatively short notice to organise this event. It's a lesson learned but it's not long ago at all that the back room of a pub was all we needed to hold a meetup. I've already been speaking to our partners and exploring other options to make sure we can accommodate as many people as possible going forward. I hope you understand and I will be keeping a note of all of those on the waiting list that don't end up with a place this time and will ensure that they have priority next time.

  Our next networking event will be held on Feb 20th at Google Campus along with a bootcamp on 18th Feb. More details to follow. All of the presentations will be recorded and made available as soon as possible.

  Thanks Paul - I understand & was curious. Here's hoping!

  As it turns out I'll have to travel for work next week so I've taken myself off the waiting list. I'm sorry I won't have a chance to go. Thanks!

Can't wait for this one. Would love to discuss smart contracts, DACs, crypto equity, distributed markets, ethereum, etc. Ping me before the event if you want.

  We'd love to have you speak at future events on such topics if you'd like Stephan:)
