I'll even be in the country this time. I'm not on facebook, so I can't +1/like/hump or whatever fb people do.

I'm in Keene, NH.

Can the few boston-area bitcoiners crash an event of the NH group?

Now that I'm finally not a newbie, I can post here. I'm from south of Boston and well, hi.

... 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.

As a newbie, I can't reply to anything outside this forum yet. 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.

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.

The idea of digital currency is slowing starting to make the rounds, including the potential for Bitcoin, but what many of us don't realize is that's it's here to stay.

So basically this guy is more of a supporter of bitcoin than Ron Paul is.  It's a bit surprising.

Mark Warden, a New Hampshire State Representative, is the first incumbent politician to accept Bitcoin donations as he runs for re-election. A republican from just outside of Manchester, Rep. Warden spoke to PYMNTS.com about how the Bitcoin system appeals to him and the effect it’s had on his campaign.

“The idea behind Bitcoin was to have a currency that competes against the U.S. dollar, or Chinese yuan, or Japanese yen or euro, and gives people a choice. It’s something that ideally will not be subject to inflationary whims,” Warden says.

Exactly. It's ridiculous and shady as hell. I don't know why they're so desperate for attention that they'd want to be involved in issues of national security and terrorism.

 

Many of those offering the bitcoin currency require users to spend less time and efforts registering than more traditional methods. Basically there’s less need for operators to collect so much personal information from the player. This has critics saying there is a better chance of underage players finding access to the gambling web sites. Many think the bitcoin currency is the way of the future and some say it will soon become a thing of the past.

Thanks Crazyates. Yup I know those guys. There's a greater number of visible Bitcoiners in NH than in Boston. I just don't get why. I think the area demands some Bitcoin saturation. Roger Ver seemed to have some success with tech groups in Japan, there are many such groups in Boston. I sent messages to the Bitbills guys but have yet to hear back.

Serious question: What does a US politician do if their campaign receives cash in mail? They can't legally accept it (is it from a US citizen?). The same should apply to returning (or not) invalid btc donations.
