At our second bitcoin meetup, we'll pay for our meals with bitcoin, discuss bitcoin, and -- I hope -- do the following three things:
(1) Start a list of btc-friendly merchants in the Des Moines area who either accept bitcoin as a means of payment or sell bitcoin-related goods and services
(2) Showcase the merchants on our list so as to encourage members of the meetup to support those merchants by shopping at their stores
(3) Discuss ways to increase traffic to those merchants via a bitcoin rewards system and by increasing the number of people at the meetup who hear about those merchants
We'll meet at the Steak n Shake here:
