Does that bar accept Bitcoin payments yet?

Nope, not yet. We need more people to up the pressure!

Aren't there a lot of FSP people in Manchester? I can't believe they're not all coming to Bitcoin meetups yet.

Yeah, I agree. I'm working on it, but there are a lot of other meetups going on, so it's a challenge. We are seeing new people each week though.

That's very exciting man. Did you move to NH for FSP or were you there for other reasons?

[ben-abuya]

FSP was a big part of why I moved.

I may be doing the same thing in the not too distant future. If so, I look forward to meeting the rest of you guys. Did you choose Manchester because of the FSP population or was it the natural choice for other reasons?

Many of us disagree with the choice of location and do not attend based on that alone.

Awesome, we need more bitcoiners! PM me if you need any more info about FSP, if you want to join Facebook pages or forums, etc. NH was a pretty good choice because of the location, low taxes and lower bureaucracy than most places, but the Libertarian population was probably the biggest factor.

error, are you referring to the Bitcoin Meetup or the FSP?

I signed the FSP commitment statement at least 12 years ago....before the state selection actually. But I haven't been active on the forums for a long time. I do know some people who moved recently.
I meant Manchester, specifically.

Oh, the main reason I moved to Manchester is because I thought it would be the best place to have a brick and mortar store, because of the relatively large population, central location in NH, and proximity to Boston.

We had the best meetup yet! About 25 people came this time and we decided to start a more technically-inclined weekly offshoot in addition to the regular meetup.

Manchester is about an hour away from me (So ME), but maybe I'll shoot down for one of these get-togethers sometime!

Sweet! We'd love to have you. I wouldn't mind doing one in Maine one of these weeks if we can get enough people up there (would be good for the seacoast folks, too). Also, some of us are planning on going to the Montreal meetup. Let me know if you're interested.

Montreal is a bit far, but if you ever did a seacoast one in Portsmouth or somewhere, I'd be there!

Good to know, I'll put out some feelers over there and see if we can set one up. Also, I hear some of the BitInstant guys might go up to Montreal, too. Could be epic

We'll be discussing taking this on the road. We're planning to hit Portsmouth, Nashua and Boston. If you're in the area and you want to make something happen, let me know -- maybe we'll come for a visit.
