I am glad to announce that november 3rd we have opened a bitcoin embassy in tel-aviv, Ahuzat bayit 1, at street level, right infront of the new israeli stock exchange building.
You can see our landing page
www.bitembassy.orgWe have since been been building the place up, figuring out what an 'embassy' should be doing...
Lot's of people come around every day, and there are 3-5 permenant members of the community that come daily and work from the embassy while manning it, plus there is a gallery floor we rent out to a bitcoin startup, and they also keep the place alive.
We have walkins, satoshi square meetings, wallet instructions, developer nights, and we are working to make a bitcoin innovation lab close by. We sell cafe and stuff for bitcoin only (all going towards donations for the community), also hope to install a lamasu ATM we ordered (and should arrive febuary)
The embassy is a non-profit, i am funding it at the moment, but we have much help from the community including the israeli bitcoin association and we hope to make it sustainable within a year
