Bitcoin Conference 2012- London 15-16 Sept | ANNOUNCEMENT sponsorship available!

[Nefario]

Now that Matthew has been labelled a scammer, I presume you guys have invited him to speak in London?

Correct, he is listed at https://sites.google.com/a/bitcoin2012.com/homepage/speakers.

I am actually attending this conference, but am feeling increasingly uncomfortable about it.

Matthew N. Wright is a serial entrepreneur living in South Korea, and quit all non-Bitcoin related work to found the Digital Commerce Advancement Organization, the largest Bitcoin business incubator. He co-founded DialCoin, Bitcoin Magazine, BeyondBanks, Safebit, BitcoinMall, ElletSys, and the Bitcoin Association of Korea, offering bi-lingual informational, business integration and translation services. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Bitcoin Magazine.

He's still listed on the page (I'll fix that now) but he's not speaking.

Also I don't know why someone said Zhou was sponsoring, thats not true AFAIK.

So lay off the hyperbole and enjoy this, it's going to be absolutely awesome, turns out there is going to be a lot more press there than we originally thought.

Actually the hackathon starts tomorrow. So it's already kind of begun.

This really is going to be just fantastic, as there isn't just the conference itself, but so many after events as well.

I was also wondering about this.  Given that there are three rooms and several presentations taking place in parallel...many of us would like to see them all...will all presentations be recorded and available for viewing later (for attendees, at least)?

I'm bringing my cam and will set it up in one of the rooms. Anyone got a tripod?

That doesn't add up. 70% of the tickets cannot be so little, even at cheapest prices that wouldn't add up to 30 tickets.

If 70% of the full amount is 932.35 GBP, the whole is ~1332 GBP (1666 euros). At 70 euros each, 23.7 tickets.

for starters the first 100 tickets were sold at 40EUR and secondly, that is obviously not accurate lol.

Who cares I am well looking forward to this. Should be excellent.

Only the first 100 tickets would be 4000 EUR. Just wondering what they meant because it doesn't make any sense.

The austrian population isn't as stupid and lulled in as other populations when it comes to money... they still use their shilling in stores as an alternative to the euro (albeit at fixed exchange rate and the shilling is of course also fiat, but it shows they have a mind more open to monetary issues than most, also, of course, it's AUSTRIAN economics ;-).

[Nefario]

Early arrivers have finally arrived and we've met up, the venue is awesome, already some of the talk that has gone down is IMO ground breaking or going to prove to be groundbreaking.

look at this google maps shot of russell square... I will ask a question afterwards:







Did you see the airplane?

1) Is there any chance to buy "Physical Bitcoins" in London?

There certainly will be. I will be bringing some coins and a lot of other people will be bringing some too.
