Bitcoin 101 w/ Airbitz: Setting up a Wallet + Presentation on Security , Privacy
Details
Paul Puey of airbitz (https://airbitz.co/) (a Bitcoin wallet and business directory app) will be giving an introductory talk about Bitcoin explaining the basics of what it is, how to get started sending and receiving Bitcoin, and where to get your first Bitcoin. On that last part, airbitz has generously offered to give new users that try out the airbitz Wallet 10 mBTC. They've also offered to provide free pizza.
After the introductory talk, we'll break to give time for new people to install a Wallet and ask questions.
Finally, we've also asked Paul to give a more advanced presentation on wallet security, privacy, and ease of use. We'll aim to conclude the presentations by 8:30pm, after which people can hang out to ask questions and talk Bitcoin.
