Bitcoin Forum

What is the largest meeting of bitcion users or traders in person?

past, present or future planned

Probably the 2011 NY Bitcoin Conference had the most in a single location ..., there were maybe 50 or so people, I believe?

The 2011 Prague one might have been of similar size.

The planned 2012 London conference has higher ticket sales .

There are online communities with several hundreds online at a time.

thanks!

So is there bigger sites than this one? there's 500 active at once today it says on here

This is the largest community I know of. There is activity 24/7 here, something very rare among community websites that deal primarily with Bitcoin.

IRC, like #bitcoin-otc, #bitcoin-dev have had over a thousand connected at a single moment.  Not sure of current levels.

I've been idling in OTC the last few days and there never seem to be more than 5 online at a time. And they are never there for trading they just talk about random shit. Most incredibly immature. It sucked, I spent all that time learning IRC and how to register an account/items and then everyone chatting is like a 13 year old and nobody is there to do business. I've listed 3-4 items on there as well (and 3 BTC sales) and never even got a single response. I must be doing something wrong or something..but I swear its not nearly as popular as it once was. Even just months ago.

Has -otc really gone downhill that much? What of all the controlled evaporation gmaxwell was doing?

Yes, it did.
A stolen porn website operator like you, pretends to have OTC ratings after exchanging 20 BTC, then starts lecturing about the importance of OTC ratings.
