nice gesture from Polymerbit to connect you with the great notes i would be interested in 2 notes then Thanks! Still deciding (Feedback welcome!) on how to setup the sale of them (Set price / auction etc) |

Sorry, but unless I'm missing something, I don't think that you'll do this in the near future. Not as in that movie. As I see here such a Polymerbit note costs 17.99 GBP if unfunded (i.e. as collectible). So if one also put 0.001 BTC onto it, it should worth twice as much, hence exchanging it like in that movie would be very bad business for the one holding the note. Of course! This was just a gimmick of a video but why not aim for this? Image being able to achieve creating a low-cost Polymerbit note mass printed. |

Firstly we want to say a big thanks to Daniel / PolymerBit for these unbelieve notes and for taking the time to visit us! Stay tuned for some very exciting potential future developments! Daniel suggested we could look at either selling a few of the notes or auctioning them to raise some funds for the hub. We're posting here to showcase the notes and hope to update this page soon for any folk interested in getting a note! Take a look at these!  We have notes ES003/ES004/ES005/ES006 available (We'll have a few one display at the hub aswell!) Lastly, imagine in the future we could do this ---> https://twitter.com/SatoshisPlaceUK/status/1578885029757087745 -  Stay tuned as physical bitcoin note IRL use is in discussion! |

Hey folk, Things are moving nicely with Satoshi's Place, slowly but starting to build good ground and staff are finding their feet. Just a few updates: - We hosted our first weekday workshop, our Monthly Bitcoin News Roundup took place, this will be a monthly event hosted to start discussions on the latest BTC news from around the world. - We had a visit from PolymerBit and look at this for a surprise! Unbelievable! Lots in discussion around the idea of physical notes being used at the hub. We'll be auctioning some of the custom notes off to raise funds for the hub, so stay tuned!  - We now have a Fibre connection so we can push on with the goal to open during the day for hotdesking! We are looking to find a volunteer (or staff member) to help us operate through the desired time slot (10AM to 3PM). - We've got discount codes for the Bitcoin Collective event (21% off with Satoshi21) and the Bitcoin Amsterdam event (10% off with SATOSHISPLACE10) so if you are planning on going to any of them use the codes and get some discount on ticket prices! A few things in planning: - We are planning a Genesis Block (From Twitter.com/@HFSP_Whisky) Whisky tasting night:  - Our next event is "An Introduction to Blockchain Analytics", this is a free workshop and is scheduled for Thursday Oct 13th, 6PM - We are organising everything for a opening day for our Bitcoin/Lightning Gaming Arcade & Art side! - We've got some exciting stuff in the pipe line!

Feel like I've seen your posts before, but I see you guys are doing a lot of Lightning stuff -- there's only one other active merchant-centric group I know of not too far away from where I live, they've been doing Lightning for a while now. Should do a cross-meetup with them, would be cool, now that you're no longer part of the union and it's post Covid Check it out: https://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/#usergroupAwesome stuff! Thanks. Yes still lots of Lightning gadgets and gimmicks to come, stay tuned! |

I saw this thread when meser# present this thread in our local board: Satoshi'nin yeri  You have opened a very nice place and you have made a very good promotion with your website. It's nice to write the features that will be added in the future. If I come to England one day, it has become one of the places I will definitely visit. I hope you will serve for many years. Thank you! (Sorry on the delay in responding!) |

If you have not yet used the information to advertise your establishment, that Satoshi could create Bitcoin while living in London, then it is very in vain. Article (New Research Suggests Satoshi Nakamoto Lived in London Creating Bitcoin) considers the reasons why this might be so. Maybe this is true, but I do not undertake to refute or agree, because there is no direct and hard evidence of this. Why not use the results of this study to attract crypto-tourists to your hub (if possible and acceptable)? For me, it’s a sin not to use it for your own marketing purposes. Well we can all assume, where ever Satoshi may have lived becomes irrelevant when we step back and see what 'they' created! |

Getting a post from a legendary member like this actually feels very inspirational. Although you are showing products of alcohol, this is actually for a laugh moment because if I am able to visit your shop, I can't pay you anything because I don't like to smoke and drink. But yeah, I'm not just thinking about your product, I'm just thinking that you took a step that actually promotes bitcoin to more people. It's obviously an inspiration for those of us who are really crazy Bitcoin believers. and intends to stick with bitcoin indefinitely. All the best for your business and congratulations on becoming some people's inspiration too. Thank you. Hey, we sell food aswell - you are always welcome - even if not to buy but just too talk! Thank you. Nice and attractive idea that might attract people to bitcoin, but I have a question for people who don't know anything about bitcoin and don't have a wallet or an account in an exchange or anything like that how will they be able to pay if they decide to buy something? I mean will it be paid by fiat? I don't think it's a good idea since it's all about spreading bitcoin culture.
Anyway, I wish you success in your unique idea.
Well we still need to pay bills so yes FIAT (Via Cash or Card is accepted) BUT really if want to pay in BTC then we help them get a wallet and have a small OTC exchange so they can buy a small amount of BTC for FIAT They can spend that at our bar |

Awesome idea and execution. The fact that your business is heavily focused on lightening network is also a good initiative, which would show other merchants how they can successfully accept Bitcoin, without worrying too much about huge fees and transaction confirmation time.
Which question; does accepting arts on ETH and XCP network contradict the idea of an"Satoshi place"? And do you see any other altckin based initiative coming up in the future?
Hey, Thanks! Well the goal of "Satoshi's place" is to onboard interested folk into the world of Bitcoin (Teach them about Bitcoin, get them a Wallet, get them a few Sats etc) and a lot of people we talk to have heard more about NFTs than BTC - So it is in a sense a trojan horse way to bring them in, we don't see NFTs (Although we have been offered commission to) just showcase artwork, focus really of NFT will really be on XCP which of course is BTC based! |

Glad that you accomplished this heavy task - a complete bitcoin hub. Was about making a thread about the launch till I found yours. What kind of game did Arc Ben gift to the hub? is it a blockchain based game?
Hey, Thanks! Ben Arc gifted us the arcade unit, which takes Lightning payments for credits and plays a variety of games! It’s 21 Satoshi’s a play! A amazing way to onboard visitors who are interested in the gaming side! |
