Post by: Yankee (BitInstant) on April 30, 2012, 04:56:04 AM
Hey Guys,

http://workattheyard.com/ (http://workattheyard.com/)

http://workattheyard.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_9398.jpg

They will be New York City's first coworking office space to accept Bitcoin

Working with the owner now to get integration, and they will make an announcement to get some good PR going.

Some companies that work there are Uber, Wanderfly, The Hype Machine, F&T Creative, Gander.TV, more workattheyard.com/tenants/ (http://workattheyard.com/tenants/)

Bitcoin payers will get a discount, although not sure what yet.

I may move into this space as well, its an amazing atmosphere to work  :)

Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY

Cool!

I think once these guys accept it, itll make it easier for you to convince UsrLib

LOL... I'll pass as you hold your finger over the "submit bitcoin accepted here logo" button. We'll just have to settle for at least one of them to get it going and hopefully many many more in the near future.

Notice the post said New York City's first.

They will be New York City's first coworking office space to accept Bitcoin

The first ever coworking to accept Bitcoins as payment was, of course, CoinLab, of Seattle.  That is where Nefario was headed when customs stopped him at the airport and after explaining his intention to pay expenses with bitcoins they made him go back home.

Along with "bomb" and "fresh fruit," add "bitcoin" to the list of things you should never say at U.S. Customs.

This makes me sad, you party pooper. 8D  Well at least this means there's almost a 100% chance UsrLib.org will be the first in Nevada.

I am still waiting to hear back from my original inquiry. If I don't hear something in the morning I'll call him. I'm not that tight with him, just had to do some creative calendaring with him in the past for the colo events.
