For the next Triangle Bitcoin Meetup @AU we will be discussing the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network and... a Bitcoin conference is coming to town! Have you wondered how big the network needs to be to sustain itself?

We are also pleased to echo the announcement of the Cryptolina Bitcoin Conference (http://cryptolina.com) which will be taking place August 15 and 16 at the Raleigh Convention Center. Conference organizers will be here to discuss their vision cryptocurrency in our local community.

New to Bitcoin? A Seasoned Expert? Not sure? All are welcome to attend.

While food and beverage will not be provided by hosts for this event, AU@Main has recently installed an automated market kiosk with a selection of snacks and beverages. The self checkout system doesn't accept Bitcoin... yet - but seems like a perfect candidate for this technology. Check it out!
