Edmonton Bitcoin Meetup - Mining w/ Stranded Natural Gas

This month, our featured presenter is Steve Barbour, founder of Upstream Data https://upstreamdata.ca/ which is based in Lloydminster, Alberta.

Upstream Data is solving a problem in the upstream oil and gas industry by harnessing the energy of low-quality and otherwise-flared or vented natural gas for profit in providing security in the Bitcoin network.

Steve was recently a guest on the Stephan Livera podcast, which was a fantastic episode discussing the huge potential and value-proposition of Bitcoin mining in oil and gas production. It is a must-listen for any Albertan interested in the future of Bitcoin technology: https://stephanlivera.com/2018/10/20/slp27-turning-stranded-natural-gas-into-bitcoin-mining-hashes-with-steve-barbour-of-upstream-data/

The Edmonton Bitcoin Meetup is a group of enthusiasts that enjoy hanging out and talking about all the aspects of this technology and advance our understanding. We meet regularly on the third Wednesday of every month.

We generally present a recap of the last month of events and host presentations on some intermediate/advanced topics. We also have a Q&A session, group discussion and leave time for networking and mingling. Many of us have first-hand experience in building on, using, trading, mining and many other things. We hope like-minded people can meet each other and have great discussions.

Everyone is welcome, but if you are new to the topic, we also host the Bitcoin Beginners Meetup which is caters to helping people get started, get them answers to all questions and help them meet people on a similar path. The Bitcoin Beginners Meetup occurs on the second Tuesday of every month.
