Hi,
Can I please get  out of here?  I'd like to contribute to the discussion on the San Francisco Bitcoin Conference, as I'm involved with a group that has been discussing doing a Northern-California Bitcoin Conference in the Napa Valley.

Looking forward to the interview

This forum, and especially the newbie area is a hotbed of people just not understanding what this crazy bitcoin thing is.  It takes a while to "get it", but Bitcoin genuinely has promise and is already working.

I got into bitcoin last year, took some time off and got interested when we broke $5 again.  This authentication system is stupid.
