Shout outs from Seattle

[dacoinminster]

Post in this thread if you are a bitcoiner in the Seattle area!

I'm in Woodinville, and I know of one other guy mining away down in Lacey (near Tacoma) but he doesn't frequent this forum much. Anybody else?

Just in case anybody else is interested in a Seattle meetup, I put a placeholder here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Meetups

[dacoinminster]

I've since talked to two bitcoiners over PMs who turned out to be from Seattle, but nobody is posting here. Anybody? Maybe you are all locked in the newbie section . . .

Hey dacoin*, shoutback to you...I'm mining, here in Seattle.

Hi, I live in Seattle. I don't do the mining thing, since my office is already warm enough I'm more interested in the potential for bitcoin's use in the trade of goods and services.

I'm also a transit geek; anyone want to trade bitcoins for credit on your ORCA card? We can meet in person at any Sound Transit Ticket machine and do the deed there, or I can add value remotely if you have an unregistered card.

Hey, I'm a bitcoin user in Seattle, as well. Just got my first mining rig set up and running (after a week of frustration  ). I'd be interested in some kind of meetup, but the one referenced above wouldn't work for me. Would have to be outside of normal working hours. Cheers!

Mining in Redmond

Does Alaska count as Northern Seattle?

Up on capitol hill here.  Got a buddy over in bellevue mining as well.  I don't think he has an account here.

Not from Seattle, but not too far away. I live in Portland but work for a company based in Lacey and Tacoma, so I am in your area quite often. I might be interested in driving up for a meetup. I missed the Portland Bitcoiners meeting a few weeks ago but I am really interested in trying to create some local buzz about Bitcoin. I am currently willing to accepting Bitcoin for computer services in the Portland area. I have been doing on-site computer, network, and printer service for 11 years, so I know what I'm doing. I really believe in Bitcoin for the long term and want to help it succeed by using it for goods and services, not just treating it like other securities to bought and sold as the price fluctuates. Let's get Bitcoin flowing through our local economies and prove to the world that the Bitcoin community means business!

I know of another Bellevue miner.

I live not too far away from the OP.

I didn't set that time/place, and I've never showed up there at that time, because I too have a day-job.

It's a wiki, so I guess anybody can change it that wants to. I probably wouldn't be able to make a monthly meeting, but I'd try to get to a one-time event, or the first monthly meeting.

mods: Can this thread be moved to the newbie section? Some people would like to post here, and they currently can't.

not to be too segrationalist here but maybe we eastside miners (bel/red/wood/etc) could do a meetup that doesn't involve a tolled or highly trafficked bridge. And we have dozens of Starbucks to choose from (NE 85th FTW) as well as any number of Panera's or common areas at Bellevue Sq, Redmond TC or Crossroads (Chess anyone?). I know I'm much more likely to attend something that doesn't involve finding parking in Queen Anne after crossing 520 to do it (no offense Seattle-ites).
