Title: Hello from bahston Post by: teamhugs on September 15, 2012, 01:03:59 PM Hello from the environs around bahston in the state of Massachusetts.
Been following, reading, and pondering bitcoins for a long while. According to localbitcoins, there aren't many of us around here. They're all in NH pretending to live in a free state or something. ;) Title: Re: Hello from bahston Post by: Severian on September 15, 2012, 01:09:08 PM A bitcoinah neah Hahvahd? Wicked cool.

They're all in NH pretending to live in a free state or something. ;) Finally, Boston! We've been trying to get something going there for a while and we were also surprised at the lack of interest from one of the world's great technological hubs and populations centers. Any interest in hooking up and trying to get something planned for Boston? Feel free to PM me.

New Englanders are conservative for the most part. They're still catching on to this Internet thing; not sure if it's a fad or not.
I've read there's some sort of Saturday meetups in Harvard Sq. When I'm not traveling, I can probably make them once a month or something.

I don't think that's actually been happening. I'm a member of the associated facebook page, and there's nothing going on there. I'm working with samadamsbeer from the forum to get something started in Boston, so I'd love to hear from you if you've got any ideas or you'd like to help out. If you've got any contacts at the universities, that would be great. Title: Re: Hello from bahston Post by: teamhugs on September 15, 2012, 06:22:07 PM Hmm, where did you read about that?

I'm coming from the south shore, so something on the red line would be great. We could start small and just meet somewhere for drinks, food, and coins.

Ya, that's unusually sparse considering the population level and tech-savviness. Consider checking in on this thread: NH & Boston area Bitcoiners - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104371.0 Title: Re: Hello from bahston Post by: teamhugs on September 16, 2012, 02:30:20 AM NH & Boston area Bitcoiners - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104371.0 I'm subbed to it, I just can't reply as a newbie, yet.

Welcome! Title: Re: Hello from bahston Post by: ben-abuya on September 16, 2012, 04:36:36 PM ... I'm up for a meetup. I'm coming from the south shore, so something on the red line would be great. We could start small and just meet somewhere for drinks, food, and coins. Excellent. I'm going to be out of the country for a couple of weeks, but when I get back, we'll organize a Boston meetup. I'll try to bring some NH guys and we'll see how many people we can draw. Title: Re: Hello from bahston Post by: samadamsbeer on September 16, 2012, 10:04:19 PM Hello Teamhugs, as ben mentioned, been working on trying to get some stuff started in the area. Happy to meet for beverage or something, I am very near the red line. I'll send you a PM.
