Hi,

Sorry for the late late late reply. The Meetup went really well but the venue sucked as the owners watched a news item on Bitcoin. However we have a new venue

Maybe set future ones for mid afternoon weekends Thursday mid week many people working. If this is going to happen on a regular basis then I am sure to come to one providing it is done on a Sat afternoon sometime

OOooh a midlands meet-up, I might be tempted, but previuse poster is right, Thursday nights is not good for me.

Would love afternoon tea or something (most meet-ups involve pubs, I am not a drinker really (honestly)

The last meeting (23/07/15) was very productive in the sense that everyone got on and ideas were bouncing around the room like a tennis ball on steroids.

The ones that seemed like a goer were.

1. A bitcoin workshop to be had at Birmingham University around the subject of security etc on 18th September. 2015. This will be in the day time/early evening and could be very interesting in a social setting.

2. A possible live music event in which bitcoin will be the primary unit of exchange.

3. The general taxation issues about bitcoin still under discussion within the UK government.

4. Block chain technology as a means of security.

5. The future of altcoins.

Obviously there were more stuff discussed and next time I will get some sort of proper minuting of the meeting.
