I'm hoping to come down from SF for a few hours. Does anyone know if there will be a "more reasonable" one day fee at the door or if entrance is closed now?

Another piece of fun advice: Laptop thefts happen with some regularity at tech conferences ... at a Bitcoin conference if the thieves don't STEAL ALL THE LAPTOPS, they're sleeping on the job.
Prepare for theft by having a good backup and either not leaving coins on your laptop or at least using full disk encryption and wallet encryption. Be prepared to keep your laptop with you at all times. Consider bringing a lock for it. Let's hope Marriott and the rest of the major hotels are done changing all the guest room locks: - http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/12/fix-for-hotels-electronic-door-lock-hack-slow-to-roll-out/I'm coming and I'm not bringing any coins with me. Fuck that. |

The $300 entrance fee actually makes it more of a Bitcoin elite/high society club. Why don't we "commoners" get together at Singlebarrel on San Salvador st Saturday night? If the lords & ladies of Bitcoin Abbey want to come too that's fine. |

I'm in San Francisco! Where can I spend bitcoins? Is there a list somewhere? I'm only aware of Cups and Cakes, the sushi restaurant, and the grocery store that were listed in that reporter's article about trying to live on bitcoin.
Note that San Francisco is very, very far from the conference. Hope you got a hotel room closer. Troll... San Jose is under an hours drive from sf. Many people commute that daily in ca. |

Yeah the pre-conference meetup was like a conference itself! Standing room only, very high energy. Everybody was so excited to be there and meet people they've seen online for so long. The camaraderie was palpable.
Really excited to be here with all you guys!

Has the BTC foundation planned to live-stream the event for those of us who can't make it? You just need to rent a decent camera, a computer with Flash Media Live Encoder and a UStream/LiveStream account. Please guys do us a favor... looks like it is going to be epic. The best part will be the networking tho. Plenty of awesome people there!!!

This thing had better be good - I had to wake up at an extraordinarily uncivilized hour in order to get up in time to make my flight.
