The Pembury Tavern is the venue of our next meet-up on Sunday 23rd June

The meet-ups are always good, but now we have the novelty of being able to buy beer with Bitcoin.

Great stuff.

Wow, 8% Conversion fee! That's a cup of cold water on what should be one of bitcoin's core advantages; (that of avoiding credit card fees). He's more of a business man than a programmer all right!

Good to see the bitcoin economy expanding to bars.

we need to get more people in the US to start doing this with their bars, i would definitely go to them if they existed in Miami, FL.

i have an idea to reduce fee's for UK pub's which is still in development. but at the moment the important thing is that pubs get 100% fiat return + extra.

compared to credit/debit cards which leaves them at a loss.

yes its at a cost of a little extra bitcoin to customers. but then again with bitcoin UK being early days still. its the convenience that matters.

atleast we are not paying 10,000btc for 2 pizza's. so its not that bad. but things will get better

The key to this is getting the pubs' suppliers to accept Bitcoin.


And that is also the hard part

in a few pubs down in the area i reside their supplier is greenkingIPA which is on my contacts list. but for a short term goal making it easier for pubs to get their pound coins is stage one.. world domination takes alot longer
