There are about twenty or so of us in Brighton; I'll see what the interest of the others is like as most of them are not on this forum.
Brighton seems to me like the sort of place where bitcoin could really catch on. I know a few people down there, some of them are programmers and were mining litecoin a little while ago. Are you guys at uni by any chance?

Are you guys at uni by any chance? I am very proud to have Brighton on my passport, moving back there in a few weeks can't wait! And you're right, Brighton is very much the kind of place that would appreciate Bitcoin edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQzOkcELa5A

Are you guys at uni by any chance? It's already caught on in Leeds. People are ordering 1000's of bitcoins worth of non-descript packages through the post everyday! They just like to keep a low profile though, because, you know...

Try #bitcoin-otc-uk in freenode.
Maybe you can put me down in that list, depending on what comes out of it :-)

the otc-uk meant to be used for trading coins not general UK chitchat but theres nothing stopping us UK lot starting a UK chat hash on IRC,
me and mark lyford have already had some skype chit chat with a couple other like minded UK lot. so skype is another option for those wanting to get businesses set up where anonymity is not going to be an issue to argue about

It's meant for trading but people also chat. After all, it's a chat channel and not always there's trading going on (and even when there is, people chat).

Hi having spoken with mark with skype for a short while, us owning a UK based company offering the services for Avalon Asic chip purchase, with the option of having Avalon Asics embedded onto PCB's we will be also offering services for hosting people's Asic Systems so they do not need to monitor it themselves. We will be working in conjunction with Mark & his website & also with our website known as www.asicgigahash.comat this time we are in early days But we have secured our order for 10,000 Avalon Asics with many more options to be brought to the website. Kind Regards Philr13. www.asicgigahash.com

Sorry mate, London is calling. Even the tramps squatting in abandoned buildings in London are using bitcoin. Seriously, I saw it in the Telegraph(I think it was the Telegraph anyway, anyone else remember this story?).

Sorry mate, London is calling. Even the tramps squatting in abandoned buildings in London are using bitcoin. Seriously, I saw it in the Telegraph(I think it was the Telegraph anyway, anyone else remember this story?). yea that is amir taaki, the guy behind intersango before it went all wrong. and another guy that just writes a few editorials now and again for the bitcoin magazine. amir seems to be more of the "occupy wallstreet/anonymous" clan of bitcoin users, as oppose to the mainstream regular folk they try to act like they are to the same standard as gavin andressen. which i just facepalm at every quote of their expertise. i think they are trying to live their whole life on bitcoin.. to me i just think they dont know how to budget and plan things to cover all the costs to live and function in a normal life. which explains why his exchange failed, due to lack of understanding of basic requirements to function in the world lol atleast i personally can function in a fully rented and council taxed home, paying all the bills and what not via bitcoin. hopefully one day we all will be able to do this without resorting to squatting in vacant office buildings. so the learning experience of this is. don't do a "amir" or ull end up not only having ur bank account closed for simply not having FSA licences. but also squatting.. learn the law, follow it. and realise bitcoin is only freedom when not used in combination with the pound coin. if you handle the pound coin then expect the laws of the pound coin to handle you

I am planning to put a UK specific group together with the aim of helping each other. I am planning to setup a UK based alternative energy mining farm and think it would be a great help for people in the UK to together. UK specific issues can be discussed, mining alternatives and group meetups can be arranged both on and offline.
If you are interested in being part of it please hit me up on here, via email or on skype
Cheers all
Mark
