Sorry for any miss understanding on locations some parts were not organised too well, but this is going to be awesome.

Definitely, awesome. More people than last year in Prague. Nice meeting you Nefario, also Michael Parsons (the guy who made the linked pictures, I was sitting right next to him).

Yeah, and there was a bitcoin cake. The cake is most certainly NOT a lie 

They should have hidden a private key in it somewhere.

Hmm, an actual physical key with the private key etched on it.... what could go wrong?

I don't know. Are you going to take pictures of it? Because I certainly hope so.

Of course not!

1) Taking a pic of the private key would....make it not so private
2) The cake is gone (went really fast)

[Timo Y]

Great speech, Amir!

Just to remind everyone BFL will be having a drawing for one of our Bitforce Singles on Sunday as well as an auction for a prototype unreleased SuperSingle and a fully functional Mini-Rig. 

Stop by the BFL table to put your name into the hat for the drawing, but bring your bitcoins if you want to go home with shiny new Minirig or SuperSingle on Sunday!

They really are missing out, really you can't put a price on this, it's not even the talks (which are mostly great) but being able to talk realtime, face to face with others. It's so efficient.

I just got back home (I live 120miles away from London). Head still full of new future ideas and thoughts. This was fantastic conference and definitely I'm going to next one. BTW Friday social night (with Bitcoin cake!:P) in restaurant was the best
Thanks for all of you to be there, it was pleasure to meet you people face to face.

Mindblowing, inspirational and humbling to be in the presence of so many great minds. Thank you everyone!

Slightly offtopic: I asked Stallman if it's still GNU/Linux if I use busybox and uclibc (which are GPL/LGPL but not GNU), like my distro, shurdix. It looked like I managed to annoy him, but I'll remember the moment forever.

Did he rip off and eat skin off his feet again?

[cst]

Third! ;)

I personally had loads of fun during the whole weekend:) Already can't wait for next year.

I sat next to RMS for for several hours and overheard a few of his interactions with people.  I've never seen him before or attended any of his talks, but now I never plan to.  The guy is just a right dick.  Plain and simple, he is rude, obnoxious and so full of himself I wanted to tell him to stuff it up his ass and he wasn't even talking to me.  He has absolutely no social graces at all.

[lenny_]

I don't care if is he rude to people or not. I do care what he did already for our world.

Naw, I didn't know you where there
Otherwise I would have said hi

[Inaba]

Damn, you should have!  I had a great time and met a ton of interesting and awesome people. 

[HDSolar]

Is anyone meeting up tonight?  I would like to meet a few people or whatever.  I've got a few things to take care of before the evening, but I'd definitely like to meet and greet anyone who's come early.

I've just arrived back home but could head out again for a little bit, if you want to meet up for a while thats cool.

Give a small public speaking & presentation about BitForce SC Jalapeno,BitForce SC Single,BitForce SC Mini Rig 

Did they give out sample coins   I hear they taste better then the old ones

Yeah, he behaved quite bad and had bad manners. Didn't like his appearance. But his speech and ideas were great, even though he probably held this speech a thousand times and you could find similar speeches of him in the internet. Even though I wouldn't like to hang out with this arrogant guy, it was good that he held his speech though.

[Nefario]

RMS is getting old though, and judging by that tumor he calls a belly, won't be with us much longer.
