You'll be here in time for CoinFest! Tell me more. I hope your not trying to sell something because "coinfest" sounds suspiciously marketing"esk" Can you give me the W5 on CoinFest? On the contrary: CoinFest is completely free, and we give away a beer's worth of BTC to anybody who has never had a wallet, before. We have not copywritten CoinFest, although I do own the domain names. Very soon I will make an announcement regarding the reasoning behind this. See this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332904.0

The Wilder Snail is a popular local grocery store and cafe in Strathcona, and the first grocery store in Vancouver to accept Bitcoin using the Co-op's POS system. The owner, Boyd Thomson, is passionate about environmental and other causes, and the Snail has a quirky kind of charm that keeps people coming back. There are seats with pedal-powered outlets, aisles full of organic and fair-trade products, and a 25-cent fee for biodegradable coffee cops. Come check it out. Living on bitcoins just got a whole lot easier. We're going to browse Boyd's fine selection of produce and other groceries, and mingle and talk about the implications of Bitcoin for grocery shopping. The Wilder Snail also contains a cafe, with a renowned selection of pastries/snacks and beverages that are also available in return for bitcoins! The cafe inside only has 18 seats, however, so seating is reserved for those who purchase something from the cafe. If it gets very crowded, please try not to block the grocery aisles and consider taking your conversation outside, where there are more seats. Meet Up: http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/events/153435512/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/556313141127617/EDIT:Just got informed by Matthew Sansom that this is not the first Bitcoin grocery store in Canada. My sincere apologies to the Roberts Creek Health Food Store (in Sunshine Coast) and their Bitcoiner-friend Austin who first got them into it. If I lived there I would host an event for them, too.

Coinwaves is another physical Bitcoin store, one of three now in Vancouver. They had been operating on LocalBitcoins for some time, and have recently set up shop in Gastown! As you might expect, they take pride in educating people who visit, and are now trying to get the word out about themselves to the community. To that end, the Bitcoin Cooperative and the Simon Fraiser Bitcoin Club are going to help organize Coinwaves' Bitcoin for Good charity event! A few Co-op members will give short talks, and there will be a hands-on demonstration of Bitcoin mining! Wine and beer will be available in return for BTC using the Co-op's POS system, and there will be another live Bitcoin fundraiser! 100% of the proceeds will go to funding medical care for people in less-developed parts of the world.

The Vera's Burger Shack on Main Street has begun accepting Bitcoin using the Bitcoin Cooperative's open source POS system. It is the first venue on Main Street to accept Bitcoin, and the first of its kind. The higher-ups at corporate are watching to see how much publicity and business their decision brings, and if all goes according to plan, soon Canada will have the first burger chain to accept Bitcoin! Waves has yet to fully accept Bitcoin at all locations, so it could become the first franchise, period.With that in mind, we're going to have our first Meet Up at Vera's Burger Shack! Here we can enjoy the kind of food North Americans are known for: fattening and delicious burgers, fries, poutine, fried foods of all kinds, and beer to go with it! They will do pints for $4.25 and burger-pint combos for $10 (or equivalent BTC). This event will also be posted to Facebook, but you must RSVP on Meet Up to be guaranteed a seat. Otherwise, you will have to stand or get take-out.Meet Up: http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/events/155513002/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/236615013179286/

Bitcoin has been moving up in the world, and Bitcoin Networking Time along with it. In case you weren't aware, Francesco's is accepting Bitcoin using the Co-op's POS system! "Vancouver's Finest Italian Restaurant" has won multiple awards, including Zagat, Who's Who and Best Bite for the last 5 years in a row. That makes it the perfect place for job-seekers to meet successful entrepreneurs interested in Bitcoin, and for employers to meet professionals with experience in the field. Feel free to stop by with samples or information about goods or services you buy or sell for cryptocurrency. Those of you without enough satoshis may still order using cash, debit or credit, but the topic of today will definitely be Bitcoin! Do you have any bitcoins? How did you make them? What do you like about Bitcoin, and how far do you see bitcoins spreading further down the road? We can discuss ideas for the future, for both our Meet Up and the currency revolution, and the tech-savvy can share their projects and thoughts. Even if you're new to Bitcoin, you can have a lot of fun meeting all kinds of new people! There will be a gratuity (tip) of 18% added to your bill automatically, so to tip extra or not is up to you. As usual, you must be at least 19 years old or older to attend. Please remember that you need two valid pieces of identification, and that at least one of your IDs must show your photo. For more information or the hosts phone number, RSVP for this event on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/618081191592675/

We're going back to Hawkers Market, where vendors gather to show off their food/wares! Tickets to the event are available for Bitcoin at the door, and the bar will be accepting, as well. Last time we got organic honey with crypto, and we're hoping to spread adoption through the marketplace even further. Come help us out!

The Bitcoin Co-op meetings are now open to the public! Here we gather to discuss our goals, how to achieve them, and the general state of cryptocurrency. New members (for now, anyone can join) and guests introduce themselves, their projects and ambitions, and the directors will proceed to present new ideas for everyone to debate. For now, these meetings occur at the QuadrigaCX exchange headquarters, but this may change if and when attendance grows. Being the first open meeting, areas of focus will include ideal meeting structure, day and time. As a voluntary association of individuals, the Cooperative attempts to form consensus and values the input of all members, and hope you'll join us! For more information, see our website at www.bitcoincoop.org. You can also RSVP on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/1478690092349095/, or G+ at https://plus.google.com/b/107368230395218815049/events/c6ges3gfhg1d1bn0l6srfm8trno

Hi, I am a 17 years old accountancy student from the Netherlands and I am very interested in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin and go on. On the 15th, 16th and 17th of May the Bitcoin Conference will be held in the city where I live, Amsterdam. Many successful CEO’s from all over the world (Coinbase, BTCChina, Bitcoin Foundation, Overstock, Bitpay, Kraken, Coinlab, Mastercoin etc.) will be present as speakers at this event. I really would like to go to but unfortunately my wallet won’t let me. There is a big discount for students, but I still do not have the money for a ticket. Hereby I am asking you whales just to donate a little amount of bitcoin, so I won’t miss this big event. I would really appreciate it. The link to the bitcoin conference: http://bitcoin2014.com/ My BTC wallet address: 15A1jamk4qmzAjCN9KX1n7giLyZbjRKovX

Dude, I can't afford those conferences, myself. Haven't been to a single one, and I've done a lot of things in crypto. Maybe you should give ME a donation.
