Anyone else going to PorcFest? Gavin? Grin

I just got a message from PorcFest organizer Sovereign Curtis and thought I'd pass it along:

Hey man: The bitcoin forum popped up on my radar this morning, due to PorcFest mentions.

https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6457.20
https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6150.20

Think you could find me someone knowledgable to speak about bitcoins at PorcFest, and think we could then syphon off some of those convention attendees? The bitcoin crowd should TOTALLY be meeting at PorcFest, natural allies and all.

If you decide to go, use coupon code PORC411 to get 20% off registration. Cool

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I just got back from PorcFest and it was a lot of fun. We are starting to see some Bitcoin action too. All of these photos are from early in the week, as my phone died mid-week and so I missed taking a few pictures of some other Bitcoin people and things. Say something if you see yourself Smiley

(Click for full size)

First, copper for Bitcoins from the Agorist Alchemist (the exchange rate was much lower that day):


Bitcoin Spender, with yet more Visa debit cards for Bitcoins:


Individual Sovereign University accepts Bitcoin among many other things:


Someone (I have forgotten whom) was selling signs, though he said he wouldn't accept Bitcoin "until the hacking situation was resolved":


And some people were sporting their Bitcoin T-shirts (a few others also were, but I couldn't get pics due to my dead phone):

Yes, you did hear me on FTL very briefly. I wonder whatever happened to that liquor commission guy?
