Title: PorcFest: Bitcoin now being used IRL (pics inside) Post by: error on May 25, 2011, 03:54:44 AM Anyone else going to PorcFest? Gavin? ;D
I just got a message from PorcFest organizer Sovereign Curtis and thought I'd pass it along: Quote Hey man: The bitcoin forum popped up on my radar this morning, due to PorcFest mentions. https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6457.20 https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6150.20 Think you could find me someone knowledgable to speak about bitcoins at PorcFest, and think we could then syphon off some of those convention attendees? The bitcoin crowd should TOTALLY be meeting at PorcFest, natural allies and all. If you decide to go, use coupon code PORC411 to get 20% off registration. 8) Title: Re: PorcFest Post by: MemoryDealers on May 25, 2011, 07:55:29 AM See you there!

Title: Re: PorcFest Post by: error on June 27, 2011, 06:35:03 AM I just got back from PorcFest and it was a lot of fun. We are starting to see some Bitcoin action too. All of these photos are from early in the week, as my phone died mid-week and so I missed taking a few pictures of some other Bitcoin people and things. Say something if you see yourself :)
