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

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

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. ~0K

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!

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!

Well, I need to go to work (and mining bitcoin is not my main business 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.

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).

Please post model, year, pictures, price, etc. I'm guessing you would get a better price selling it on craigslist (and then using the cash to buy bitcoins), but who knows?

Sorry, busy with church stuff until about 5pm on Sundays. (three church services, then lunch, then a men's accountability group). However, on Sundays when my men's accountability group gets cancelled, I might be able to drop in sometime. Hey, maybe YOU GUYS could fill in for my accountability group on those days. We could talk about bitcoin AND our struggles with temptation. For me, Jesus > Family > Bitcoin (which is why my appearances at any meetups will be rare, no matter when they are). I'm sure that the suggested time and place will work fine for most other people.

I think we have Lacey representin' so Buckley's definitely in. It would probably be more accurate to call this "Shout outs from Puget Sound" or "Shout outs from Western WA" - but nobody knows what that means. Shout outs from Seattle is understood internationally.
