Bitcoin Forum

Hey, everyone going to defcon should meetup one night.  Who else is down?

Better not bring coins lol.

of course, I'm all in.

BTW, if you're doing Deviant's shoot, I'll be a safety officer and selling bullets for bitcoins.

Im in...  

I will also be at the shoot and buying ammo most likely with bitcoin..

Cell reception at shoot site ?   
how do you do offline transactions ?

So many questions.. so little time.. lol :D 

I tested cell reception out at the site. I have tmobile and it worked just fine. I'll be around all week for face-to-face cash exchanges too. If you want to pay for dinner with Bitcoin, just make sure I'm invited to the party lol

Idea Alert...

Is anyone interested in doing a flashcoin event at a stripclub? If so, I'll start actively looking for girls who get it and will be willing to accept bitcoin during defcon. We'd all have to be willing to meet at the same club at the same time and have our bitcoins at the ready. Where just depends on what girls I could attract for the event and where they work.

I would like to exchange some coins for cash at the shoot.. I figure why not..
maybe 200 bucks or so worth to pay for things while im out there..  

If your going to be at Defcon, as a local, and choose a cool place in the area a typical tourist like me wouldnt stumble upon, and its on me..

Then, I believe we'll be having breakfast together on or about Sunday morning! It's a little out of the way, but a great venue off the strip to take in some scenery and talk about Bitcoin. Requires an early start to make it back for the talks.


BTW, anyone going to bsides prior?

Would love too, but the whole wife, kids, job thing :/

Have extra fun for me!

Does this have any relation at all to Pirates get together ?

Directed towards Tuxavant..

I am not connected enough with Defcon to know anything about pirates.

I go, listen to talks, hang out with coworkers and friends from out of town, and now mostly chaperone my kid at the kid events. That's the extent of my social network at defcon.

With that, I'd love to hear what pirates is all about. Arrrr.

LOL... I think I just figured this out... Pirate 40 going to defcon.. did I miss anything else?

So... there is a bitcoin event in the evening... our monthly meet up. If you're interested, here's the details

http://www.hackerish.org/events/65803622/

Thu 26 7pm @ The Beat Coffee House. This is  250 fremont street right next to the Fremont Experience.

This space is Las Vegas' premier coworking facility so come check it out and see how we roll - funded by zappos.com

I never realized this, but me going to the shoot prevents me from getting a real badge thursday..

Is there anyone out there that could secure 2 real badges for me thats not going to shoot ?

Would be willing to pay $20 over spot price..  as in $440 for two.  Each real badge is $200


Anyone willing to help here ?  Thanks..

My wife will be standing in line for me thu morning while I'm out shooting. We can swing it.

OMG!!  seriously ?  :O

Its worth $50 bucks to ya... You freakin rock!

Man, you would totally be my savior!   :)

I cant thank you enough!  And Im serious about a meal out of your choosing   Dont forget..  :)

Dont thank me until she doesn't fuck it up and we're all standing on the outside looking in. LOL...

Yea, looking forward to meeting a bunch new bitcoin faces this year!

So am I, I also have faith! :P

Ok, 1 week away from this..  :)


Im looking forward to meeting some of you peeps, and hopefully this Pirate meet up can be for all to enjoy...


Tux, how many kids do you have into bitcoin ?  I got a very small bitcoin-esque treat for them...

Also how is getting badges looking ? And would you prefer cash at the shoot for them or bitcoins, ontop of my btc to cash exchange we are doing?

Im getting excited, this shall prove to be an epic bitcoin user week for me..  The usefulness of these bitcoins is going to prove its worth  very shortly...

I will be there and will bring Casascius Coins for anyone wanting to do a deal in person.

Awesome!, I was hoping to buy some coins...   

We will meet up for sure..   ok ?

Just one kid. Thanks for the treat!

I think I might be able to pick up some badges on wed night. I'll have to ask around but i'll keep you posted. I can take the cash for bitcoins anytime. If you don't have reception at the shoot, we can do it back at the rio sometime.

Sure... We get in Friday afternoon and are staying at the Rio itself.

Perfect, thanks brother..  Im completely in your debt!

One kid, gotcha..  I was prepared to use a couple of these, so .. might as well give him/her both..  

any extras will go to my next bitcoin presentation at my kid's school!

I'll be there...

Dang!  I almost forgot about the Defcon threads.. :o https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74038.msg819615#msg819615 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74038.msg819615#msg819615)
I'll be there, and at least one other bitcoin nerd from work is attending (although he is lazy and never checks the boards).  I'll skip the shoot this year, so if you meet anywhere on-site at the Rio, shoot me a PM or post it.  I'll look at the schedule and figure out my game plan tomorrow.  Anyone up for a bitcoiners challenge?  Lockpick village?

Bitcoiner challenge?

My kid likes to spend a lot of time in lockpick village - it's just a matter of coordinating all the events and free time. I'll tweet my locations and updates under @Tuxavant for those interested.

I'm local in Vegas / if any defcon bitcoin guys need anything at all, even just small stuff like info on where to eat:

(don't eat at rio - take a 4 minute cab ride to chinatown extremely close proximity to Rio

-- pho kim long
-- Lee's sandwiches
-- DJK korean BBQ (has tofu in the google maps search for some reason, but it's not tofu - it's "meat headshot" as we call it / they cook tons of meat in a table-grill)
-- google search "ramen" - there are a ton of them - new style japan-based awesome soup + noodles
-- thai noodle house 2 - the top thai place - get the potstickers

I just heard about this last night at the shoot, but it sounds amazing. A little farther off the strip, but may be worth it..

Korean/Mexican Fusion.

We should do a quick on-site meet and greet.  A quick chance to put faces to the forum names ant talk as much or as little about Bitcoins as we feel like.

I don't know how many of you are checking the forums--but I'll propose the a quick chat at the Chill Out Lounge today (Sat.) at 2PM. Just look for a T-shirt that says "It's only funny until someone gets hurt...then it's hilarious!". If you see me earlier, say hi.

Great idea! I'll notify my posse in case they miss the post.

I'll be wearing my black/Gold "Ask me about bitcoin" tshirt.
