I mistook Justus Ranvier for Davi Barker entirely too frequently. Although I'm certain that the two are the exact same persoon with a split personality.

Damnit Goat! Your godamn Lamborghini distracted me when I saw it in the window in the middle of my presentation. And it was my first time speaking, too. If the video ever comes out, and you see me suddenly stare off into the distance and trail off while mumbling something about a Lamborghini, that's all your fault!

I think I saw that in real time.

Just out of wondering if we paid for our tickets already i take it there will be a list or something at the door to get it?

The registration & payment web site told me to print out my ticket (or quit being a Luddite & download it to my to be acquired smartphone)

Surprised there isn't a blockchain based ticket app by now.

what a day 1  Shocked Grin

I cannot believe that BFL was there.... and so was Josh. Undecided



Too bad we can't tell who's who in person. Look for me tomorrow DM, I'll be sitting on the merchant's panel and I've been hanging out with one of the Bees Brothers and their dad.

where is everyone staying as far as in lodging?

Way the hell down in San Marcos, because Austin is stupid expensive. Saved about $200 flying into San Antonio instead of Austin, too.

Also! HOLY CRAP! Am I going to finally meet Emperor Goat in person?

Ha, You will be disappointed to find out I'm just a normal computer nerd and not the god like troll I pretend to be on the internet Smiley

Look forward to meeting you all:)



We're prepared

But that computer nerd has a lambo. Shocked

I wasn't able to get my toy finished to drive up there. So the regular daily driver will be in use.  Cry

*NOTE* For those that are driving in please be careful. The roads will be slick.

I'm going to be there 3/6 (when I made travel arrangements, only the hackathon was scheduled for 3/5).

Looking forward to networking with some miners and remittance-focused developers. Also going to see as much of Cointerra as I can. See you all there!

Oh.. duh. I should of known that I suppose. Admittedly I haven't been to a concert in a while.. I do love music though. I was in a band for a long time in my younger years and used to make monthly trips trips to Austin to go see bands perform. I need to start doing more of that.. it's no fun getting old and having responsibilities. Smiley

I love how I talk like I'm an old man to someone that's twice my age...  anyways lol...  Roll Eyes

I'm going to try to make it perhaps I'll see ya'll there.

Why is this in the middle of the week?

I'm going to try and get off work, but I'm not sure if I can make it.  Sad



Because SXSW is a major event, and satellite events such as this are scheduled immediately before.

Here is info on renting the track.  We've done this a few times at various venues around the world...great fun indeed.  Was at the inaugural F1 USGP two years ago and I can attest that this is one of the absolute most spectacular layouts Hermann Tilke ever created.

Will we have access to the track if we bring race cars?

Either way im going to try and make it.
No idea, but if you're serious I can try to find out.

You'd probably have to set that up with the track directly and pay for a pace car.

Now we've got a Twitter account, with some information about the speakers and sponsors: https://twitter.com/TexasBitcoin

It's hard to keep the website up to date with the speed with all the new developments but here's a preview of some of them that will be formally announced soon:

A distributed applications hackathon featuring over $1 million worth of prizes and contracts from the sponsoring organizations.

A Bitcoin-only concert after the conference.

Texas Bitcoin Association is hosting a Bitcoin conference on March 6th, 2014 in Austin, Texas.

This is the Thursday before SXSW, so it's a great opportunity to catch both events in the same weekend.
