EUROPEAN BITCOIN CONFERENCE 2011, PRAGUE NOV 25-27

[Meni Rosenfeld]

Hotel is now unbundled from the package, we won't be offering accommodation at all but will recommend some hotels where participants can book to stay in the same place as others.

I don't understand this. Was it not possible to have the bundle as a default and add an unbundled option for the minority who have other accommodations?

It's the majority of people that want to unbundle it.

We just don't have the numbers to warrant it the bundle option.  We have been taking into account everyone who has registered stating their preference.

It works out better if we recommend a hotel so we get as many people under the one roof that want to be.  Once we confirm the venue we will make a recommendation.

Still open to suggestions if anyone has any ideas.

Hi, I just registered as sponsor (right in time before midnight to join the club at 10 btc) and did not received any btc address nor confirmation via mail. I suppose it's normal and I will wait.

edit: I just noticed the confirmation web message that you'll contact me later. no problem then. keep up the good work!

Would it be possible to arrange live video streaming for people who will be unable to get there (e.g. me )?

I would assume he wants to benefit the attendees, so we don't have to fork over as many bitcoins to cover the hotel cost in Euros.

gauging the numbers of attendees is important, the earlier you can make an estimate on this the better.

He asked about why you're waiting for the exchange rate to increase to collect payment.

And I'm guessing it was tongue-in-cheek.

It was tongue in cheek, we are just waiting on a payment system to be finalised.
