**The Prague FrontEnd Meetup is back in 2026!** Join us on **the last** **Wednesday in February, 25th, at 5:00 PM** in the **Ataccama offices in Karlín** for another evening full of inspiration, great talks, and friendly networking. ✨ The lineup: Tomas Belada will be talking about OpenCode - a great open source AI agent. But the real power shows up once you sprinkle a bit of Greek mythology on top. In this talk, I’ll demo a plugin that turns OpenCode into a superpower, an end-to-end coding workflow. Pavel Kepka is experimenting with how the technology stack affects the LLMs - Pavel designed an experiment to evaluate the LLM's architecture decision based on the required technology stack. He'll share his findings and learnings with us at the upcoming Ataccama Meetup. Michal Kopecky will be talking about his MCP-FE library. Michal's annotation says this: Most AI agents are "blind" to your application's internal logic, often relying on messy DOM scraping or raw HTML snapshots. In this talk, I will demonstrate how to bridge React and LLMs natively using the Model Context Protocol. We’ll explore how to give agents direct access to clean component state—such as data grids, active filters, and selections—and enable them to execute actions within the browser. Join me to see how we can transform a simple chatbot into a truly context-aware co-pilot. As always, expect: Snacks & drinks Friendly community vibes Space to learn, share, and connect **RSVP here to save your spot**

Bitcoin Knots a podobné implementace se snaží vynucovat content policy na úrovni mempoolu a odmítají transakce považované za nežádoucí (označované za spam). Lukáš, náš expert na Rust a bitcoin, vám osvětlí tento problém v teorii i v praxi. ** 18:00 - 19:00: PREZENTACE** Tato přednáška vysvětluje, proč je filtrování transakcí na základě obsahu neúčinné v jakékoli vrstvě bitcoinového protokolového stacku. Představí dva vzájemně se doplňující argumenty. 1. Z pohledu topologie sítě: v gossip síti, kde i malá menšina uzlů zůstává permisivní, transakce s vysokou pravděpodobností obejdou filtrované uzly. 2. Z pohledu informační teorie: každý protokol, který je dostatečně expresivní, aby byl užitečný, nutně umožňuje steganografické kódování. Prostor platných transakcí je natolik velký, že do něj lze vložit libovolná data způsobem nerozlišitelným od běžné ekonomické aktivity. Filtrování na základě obsahu tak čelí protivníkovi s větším počtem stupňů volnosti než má samotný filtr. ** 19:00 - 19:30: LIVE DEMO + Q&A** Součástí prezentace bude živá ukázka agresivního relay uzlu napsaného v Rustu, běžícího na mainnetu, která v reálném čase ukáže tok transakcí napříč různými implementacemi uzlů. ** 19:30** **\- 22:00: NETWORKING** Po přibližně 60minutové prezentaci a Q&A zůstáváme na networking u piva, zhruba do 22:00. * **Vstup s registrací zdarma.** * **Pivo zdarma** pro prvních 50 hostů. * **Odměny** za nejlepší otázky. * **Knihy** od Braiins **zdarma**. ** PŘEDNÁŠEJÍCÍ** Lukáš Hozda je expert na Rust, autor knihy Building Bitcoin in Rust a lektor Rust kurzů na Univerzitě Karlově. Přes den pracuje v pražské bitcoinové softwarové společnosti Braiins, kde jeho oficiální pracovní titul zní Braiins Superman. * Stáhněte si jeho eBook [Building Bitcoin in Rust zdarma](https://braiins.com/books/building-bitcoin-in-rust). * Sledujte Lukáše na X: [https://x.com/LukasHozda](https://x.com/LukasHozda) Pokud vás zajímá seriózní Rust engineering, přidejte se k nám. https://braiins.com

This session turns to the epicenter of Milton’s poem: temptation, choice, and consequence. In Books IX and X, the Fall finally unfolds, and with it the unraveling of innocence, intimacy, and cosmic order. We’ll read closely and ask difficult questions. What actually changes in Adam and Eve? Is the Fall a tragedy, a liberation, or something more complicated? Where does responsibility truly lie? And how does Milton want us to judge - or not judge - what happens? As always, this is a shared inquiry discussion. No lectures, no summaries. Just careful reading, real questions, and collective thinking around the table. Come ready to wrestle with the text.

(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Columbus-in-person-chapter-meeting-Your-2026-Buy-Box-Successful-Rentals-101-14-3-3-2026)**.) Let’s be honest. In 2026, you can’t use 2023 strategies and “hope” a deal works out. Demand for rentals, wholesale deals, retail deals, and even loans has changed, and that means that the most active, experienced investors have changed the way they do deals (and maybe even the kinds of deals they’ll do). Here at COREE, our job is to shortcut your learning curve by introducing you to the people and concepts you need to take the shortest path from here to financial freedom, and we think you’ll agree that this meeting is a no-brainer, if you’re serious about making wealth-building deals this year. Here’s the detailed agenda: From 6:00–7:00 p.m., From 7:30–9:00 p.m., Agenda: 5:00–6:00 p.m. Complimentary Light Dinner & Networking 6:00–7:00 p.m\*\*. New Investor Meeting: Basics of Making Money in Rentals with Vena Jones-Cox\*\*. If you’re planning to buy rentals today, you have to know how to evaluate the REAL income and expenses before you make an offer. If you’re new, you’ll finally understand how rentals really produce profit. If you’ve been around a while, you’ll see how today’s numbers change the math. 7:00 –7:30 **Buy-Sell-Trade (Members Only)** Bring your deals, money, buyer lists, referrals, and requests. Fast-moving. Bring flyers or business cards. Guests get a quick orientation with Executive Director Vena Jones-Cox. 7:30–9:00 p.m. **Main Meeting: Your 2026 Buy Box: What Experienced Investors are Buying in 2026 (and what they won’t touch).** Our panel of active, experienced investors will lay out their 2026 buy boxes. Not hypotheticals. Not “in theory.” What they are actually buying—and what they won’t touch. They’ll share: * What property types investors are actively pursuing * What strategies they’ve stopped using * The exact numbers they require before they say yes * How insurance, taxes, and rates have tightened the buy box * What instantly disqualifies a deal in today’s market * How to define your own 2026 buy box based on capital and risk tolerance Members and non-members at any level of knowledge and experience are welcome—as long as you’re serious about real estate, value experience-based, no B.S. education, and want to give as much as you get.

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** ** Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) ** Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.
