PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108532

Shhhh..... Bitcoins are illegal in California!  ;D


Southern California Reporting in!



Hey 420 are you going to start a MMJ & Bitcoin club lol....

interesting thought i dont think MMJ users would likely be capable of understanding a cryptocurrency, hashing, & programming...

Are you serious that currencies like this have been outlawed in Cali?

Yes and No

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93649.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93649.0)

They have some really bad laws out here, i swear they can outlaw anything they consider bad.

They passed a law that was very poorly written and can be applied to alot of digital currencies and other digital transactions.

we're safe for now

Yeah, I'm here too.  Always glad to see a few locals.

North or south?

South.

I'll be down in south in a few weeks if anyone wants to trade let me know

Are you selling/buying bitcoins or are you offering to trade other things?

I'm asking about any offers for any of the above

I'll buy some coins off you if I can afford them by then.  If it keeps up like yesterday I probably wont be able to.

well how many do you want to buy, 1? LOL :)

I know quite a few Bitcoiners in SoCal. We want to get a regular meetup going in San Clemente so we can have people from Santa Barbara and San Diego come. Already have a place with a big bitcoin proponent with a 20,000 square foot office to host.

Some people may be interested, I know a certified flight instructor in north San Diego, KCRQ, that will take bitcoins for both the flight instruction and plane rental. Plus, very accomodating and will meet you anywhere in SoCal for lessons, etc. Highly recommend! And no, not me.

That's really close to me!

I'd be down to show up :) Get it organized, make a meetup page.

A little close to Tijuana, i dont want to worry about border patrol

The flight lessons are very tempting

San Clemente is on the north side of the checkpoint on the 5. If you really don't want to worry about border patrol then just fly over their damn checkpoint...

I have been sticking a cattle prod towards the former Liberty Coin guys to make this happen.

Planning on having a meeting in Carlsbad Tuesday at noon with the owner of the building so if any Bitcoiners want to stop by I think it would be good. PM me for details if you want to come along.

too early i'll be down a little after that

I'm in San Diego and would love to meet up. BTW, what happened to this meetup group? http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-SD-OC/
I got an email saying it was going to be shut down.

Perhaps you'd be surprised. ;)
(I live in LA)

I'll be in the Malibu area around Christmas. Let's make it huge!

sure.

i'll be bakersfield friday 24th mid-day

I'm in LA too !

well i dont have much to trade but if anyone wants to hang in SoCal I'll be there by sep 7-9

SoCal Here Too,
MMJ Supporter, I think the percentage of mmj people who would grasp bitcoin is better then general public.
They are starting off with a more open mind which is a plus.

sounds right

You wanna setup a time and place? I'm 99% sure that I would be able to make a meet in SoCal Sep 7-9.

I've only been able to talk to one Bitcoiner in the Wild so far and it was pretty interesting.

IE you all  ;D

My GF lives in corona, so I'm in the IE almost every other weekend.

I'd be down for jumping in on this if you guys want.  What part of california though?  Its a big state and I'm way down in the bottom of it.

420 Travels around california and I was trying to catch him when he is in Southern California. I'm in North Orange County.

Sorry, make her drive to you ;D  IE is home but not the best.  San Diego rocks for a meeting.  Otherwise go for the OC. Just my 2 btc

I'm in SoCal for another month.  Anyone find a place that accepts BTC?

WHERE IS ie?

ALRIGHT guys can email me at 420productionz@live.com

or we could all schedule a time to hit a chat room and talk
such as
http://alfixturedesign.com/420

I received an error. Perhaps IRC is better suited?

i havent got irc to work

I don't know anywhere around here that accepts bitcoin but i am way down to meet up here in north san diego county or orange county. If it was another month from now i would be able to just invite you over to the office.

IE= Inland Empire (San Bernardino and surrounding area out side of LA and Orange County).  The area you go through to get to Vegas. 

Sounds good but I can only meet up on weekends or Friday's after work.  I don't want to drag anyone my way unless you want to go on to Vegas otherwise the areas like San Diego or OC are nice enough to find a nice place to eat or sit out by the beach with a beer.

whoa, can I buy your hat in person?

Yeah for sure. And if you wanted anything else off the site we could arrange that too, but more than anything I would just be stoked to meet some more bitcoiners.

Can you or anyone else make it to Carlsbad? 40min north of Diego

+1

I'm in.

Carlsbad is perfect.

Kickass. I'm leaning more toward the 9th or 10th but still don't rule out the 7th or in between, 9th 10th is sunday monday

I vote for the 9th in Carlsbad, where would be meet?  I say a place we can have a drink and or eat.  I don't know Carlsbad that well but somewhere we can chill by the beach with a beer and I am down for that.  Also (sorry to be so and this and that) can we make it afternoonish?  I's got to work in the morning  ;D.

Sundays are hard for me. I would really prefer any other day. There are some good taco shops right there on 101 by the beach. I am happy to set that up.

Anyone want to debate someone on bitcoins/economy/investments?

youtuber with 30K subscribers


still figuring the best day for me. and im the organizer apparently since my thread :P sucky

Taco shops sound like a cool idea, its going to be hard to get everyone there but I would drive on a Friday afternoon, Sat or Sun but any other day is to hard for me to leave work, drive and make it there without feeling totally drained along with having to drive back that night to go back to work.  Would like to do a meetup but like everyone else only some days are good.  Keep tossing out days, one is bound to hit.

I will. PM me.

Any Updates on this? I can make carlsbad anytime the 7-10th lol

9th is looking best for me, maybe 1PM

can anyone meet tomorrow night? Sep 7

PM me for my number. I might just do multiple meetings.

I might be able to do the 9th at 1pm.  If we hand out a location I will work to see if I can be free to drive down then.

Are you in san diego as well?

Crew and I interviewed sunnankar, will post when up

Did anyone have a meet yesterday?

I just met that guy, we'll have a future meeting, I don't have time now, and time = money

We could try again when we have more time but if we do meet I would need a bit more notice and an address. 

Im down, UCLA student here :)

for now lets do a POLL:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108532

Missing LA County and Orange County on the poll....  ;D

which direction is orange county, south of LA? southeast of diego?

South East of LA
North West of SD

if you going up/down the coast Its right between LA and SD.

Incidentally, there will be some bitcoiners her:

Libertopia 2012 - San Diego - Oct. 11-14, 2012

 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=109389.0

Sounds like a potential date to me. Do I smell an afterparty?

Can someone locate some NEFT vodka? ;)

Post a  WTB in marketplace for Vodka or on bitcoinary.com selling BTC for Vodka

And I hear some will even be speaking!

INTERVIEW UP!

What's up Cali people!

I'm in Hollywood, CA (next to Hollywood/Highland center)
Would love to join you for the meetup, but not sure/when an how.
Unfortunately, my work schedule is very tight, not sure that I'll be able to go anywhere far  :-\
But anywhere close to here (i.e. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Stanta Monica, Downtown, SFV) is fine with me ..

yup just vote in the POLL: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108532

eventually I'll pick a spot and then we'll vote on the date
