₿🛠️ Bitcoin at the remote Chaos Communication Congress 2021
Details
The annual Chaos Communication Congress, organized by the Chaos Computer Club and other volunteers, is one of the largest hacker conferences in the world.
Not only are there great talks and lectures on the main stages, what makes the event especially alive are the hackerspaces and other communities who build so-called "assemblies". This is where they present what they're tinkering on, collaborate, offer workshops, and much more.
The "402 Payment Required" aka Bitcoin assembly is present each year as well.
This year, of course, it has to be (largely) an online event again, but that enables us to reach out for an audience here on the meetup platform as well.
The tickets (this year again for free, or for a donation) are probably limited. The video streams of the main talks don't require a ticket though, and a lot of online workshops and sessions won't require one either. The tickets are largely only necessary to join the massive-multiplayer-game-like 2D environment that connects all the different virtual locations like the main stages and assemblies in a visual way, and where you can meet and hang-out with other participants.
RSVP here on meetup if you want to let people know you'll be around, or to receive notifications about Bitcoin-related sessions that you might be interested in and want to join. We'll post the ones we organize ourselves as well as additional selected picks and how to join them in the comment section below in time for each day.
There'll be technical workshops, likely also discussions and debates about societal aspects and the "difficult" sides of Bitcoin, and probably hang-out sessions where we'll watch relevant talks from the main stages and comment on them from a Bitcoiner's perspective.
So, join our virtual "Bitcoin sofa" to participate in our sessions or just hang out and chat with us about anything. It is usually staffed each day from noon until late at night.
When: Monday 27th December to Thursday 30th December, noon until late at night each day
Format: Many presentations, workshops, sessions, and opportunities to just hang out too
Language: Bitcoin-related workshops will almost exclusively be in English, maybe some occasional German session. Sofa chat might sometimes be in German. (The main stages have many German talks.)
Target Audience: Mostly technical and advanced, depending on the session. During hang-out time newcomers can approach and ask questions, but it might be assumed you have a hacker/tech background.
Streaming/Recording: tbd/tba/depending (Main stages will be streamed of course.)
Location: Online, various Free and Open Source video conferencing tools and other environments hosted non-commercially, respecting and preserving privacy.
