Title: Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Post by: mcdett on July 01, 2013, 02:36:39 PM Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA
Looking for interest or ideas for the Twin Cities area. I understand that there was a meet up back in April. If someone could post some meeting minutes from that (or general experience) that would be great. Here is the site for that meet up --> http://www.meetup.com/Everything-Bitcoin/events/110608472/ I'd like to organize another meet up. I have access to large meeting rooms in downtown Minneapolis, or could be responsible for organizing something in a Twin Cities bar. Please post if you're interested. Thanks!

Title: Re: Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Post by: dkuhlman on August 13, 2013, 02:33:07 AM The meeting in April was a little soft on attendance due to the weather, but last month it was awesome. We had around 20 people show up, several of whom brought beer. There was a range of people, as you'd expect, from those who had just heard about it to a merchant that has transacted hundreds of Bitcoins for his business; and everyone in between.
We're having another meeting this Sunday August 18th in Edina. This is our first meeting on the south side of town but it should be a great one. We're meeting in a state of the art classroom at video conferencing company. You can find the specifics here: http://www.meetup.com/Everything-Bitcoin/events/133765512/ We'll be having another Meetup in September, probably in Columbia Heights if that's more convenient. Either way, we'd love to see you there. Title: Re: Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Post by: Stephen Gornick on August 13, 2013, 03:28:54 PM We're having another meeting this Sunday August 18th in Edina. Hah, awesome! I'm in the Twin Cities visiting so I'll be able to make it! Title: Re: Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Post by: dkuhlman on September 19, 2013, 05:35:00 AM We have another meetup coming up next week if anyone is interested. Clubhouse Jager on Wednesday September 25th at 7pm.

Silver was being accepted as well. I had some silver dimes with me and used them to pay for dinner and later drinks. That as the first time I had ever used junk silver in trade (rather than simply buying or selling a precious metal for investment purposes). What was interesting was that even these little silver dimes were not of fine enough granularity. For instance, in paying for a beer. One silver dime was too little. Two silver dimes was a little high. If the merchant accepted DYM (a silver dime-backed voucher issued through Ripple), I could have paid with the precise amount (e.g. 1.6419 DYM). I think that Ripple (and DYM) is something with great potential. Anyways, I'll still be in the Twin Cities this week Wednesday so will be at the meetup at Club Jager.
