World Famous Bitcoin LARP - Hosted by Britney T-M of Honolulu Bitdevs

Join Bitcoin Sydney to play the Base58 World Famous Bitcoin LARP!
What is a Bitcoin node? What does it do? How do transactions flow through the network and get mined? Come to play and we'll walk through these answers together. Guest host Britney T-M of Honolulu BitDevs (hnlbtc.group) will be facilitating the LARP, and available to answer any questions about the Honolulu Meetup group, as well as how to become a Base58 LARP facilitator.

🌏 The Bitcoin LARP:
Created by Blockstream hacker + Base58 founder @niftynei in 2021, the World Famous Bitcoin LARP (Live Action Role Play) is a fun, hands-on ~2-hour workshop for Bitcoiners of all ages and experience. At the LARP, individuals team up to manually perform the functions that Bitcoin nodes perform - “downloading” Bitcoin core, validating and constructing transactions, sending messages over the network and building their copies of the Bitcoin blockchain. No prior knowledge of Bitcoin or Bitcoin Core is needed to play.

• Prerequisites: basic arithmetic, a general awareness of computers and computer networking, and a desire to play and learn about Bitcoin!
• Come as a team, or an individual. This is also a family-friendly game; players as young as 10 years old have participated (with parental/guardian supervision).
• Whether you’re a seasoned Bitcoiner or new to Bitcoin, there’s always something new that’s realised, learned or experienced!
