We had our first New Hampshire Bitcoin meetup yesterday and it was great! Ten people showed up and we had a boisterous two hours talking about all aspects of Bitcoin. From how to get them and how to store them to predicting the future of the coin. We exchanged Bitcoins for cash and, per custom, asked the waitress if she accepted Bitcoin. This going to be a weekly event, and anybody's who's in the area is cordially invited to join.

New Hampshire is a pretty good place to be right now if you're into Bitcoins:

Wow, weekly? You really think the level of enthusiasm is enough to support such frequency? If so I'm pleasantly surprised, and glad to see Bitcoin making such inroads into the community.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.

ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)

The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

The consensus at the meetup was that it should be a weekly event, especially for currency exchange purposes. I expect the meetup to grow way beyond 10 people.

Looks great!
