Scaling Bitcoin Gears up for Hong Kong

The Scaling Bitcoin workshops are gearing up for their second phase. After the initial conference in Montreal in September, Bitcoin's engineering and academic community will gather in Hong Kong later this week to discuss how best to scale up the network to allow for more than a handful of transactions per second.

To get a feel for what to expect from the workshop, Bitcoin Magazine spoke with Pindar Wong, co-founder of Hong Kong's first licensed ISP and the Scaling Bitcoin Hong Kong planning committee chair, and MIT Digital Currency Initiative's Neha Narula, Scaling Bitcoin Hong Kong program chair .

Anyone know if Gavin and his gang is going to pitch up there? They surely put a hand out to all the developers from all sides. The previous event, was backed by the merchants and this one seems to be more about the mining side of things.

It would be nice to have all parties included in these discussions and to not have a one-sided debate. Hong Kong is the perfect venue for this kind of event.  8)
