 Alright! The Free State Project's largest annual event, PorcFest, is occuring June 18-24 at Roger's Campground in New Hampshire. This is basically a large libertarian camping festival - with food, guns, music, panel discussions, drinking, smoking, intellectual discourse, and all manner of subversive anti-state activity. They have integrated Paysius.com, so they are now accepting Bitcoins for registration. This year, I'm setting up a full Bitcoin exchange as a vendor on sight, and will be preaching the good word. Ira Miller, Charlie Shrem, and Roger Ver will also be in attendance, as well as at least one girl from GirlsGoneBitcoin  Bitcoin will be almost as prevalent as conversations about building roads without governments. So, if you're going and haven't registered yet, GO NOW and pay with Bitcoin! Select Bitcoin during checkout: https://freestateproject.org/registration/porcfest/2012 |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Why is it so hard for people to understand the difference between free as in "the absence of coercion" and free as in "a market price of zero." I know they share a name but jeez... |

This is really awesome. If there's a perfect group of people to introduce Bitcoin to it's them.

You serious? Of course. It's very unfortunate that english has the same word for "free as in beer" and "free as in speech". Because that's really not the same thing. This is really awesome. If there's a perfect group of people to introduce Bitcoin to it's them.

Lawyers use "gratis" to mean "free as in beer", and "libre" to mean "free as in speech". |

We should just use the word "liberty" when we want to say "freedom"

I'm sure Bardo will be roasting some of their pigs, but PorcFest is short for the Porcupine Freedom Festival. The Free State Project uses the porcupine as its mascot as it is a friendly creature as long as you don't mess with it, but if you do you'll pay for it. |

In a monetary system, you are only as free as you can afford to be.

That's not money, that's reality. Oh man, house doesn't grow like a plant, cars doesn't fall from the sky ready for you to drive,... All those things comes from men's work. Tha's not slavery that's reality. |

This whole discussion made me think of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVY7qDjrPZk Freedom isn't free. No there's a hefty fuckin' fee  But to kick this back on topic. Nice initiative evoorhees, also smart to make an exchange available. I won't be attending (other continent) but good luck. |

Very interesting! Freedom Festival... Price of admission: not free - totally a meme in the making....
And that's where english fail, same word for two different things that are often related English should start to use different words for free in sense of free speech and free in sense of free beer. |
