Live Streaming Topics

This time last year we were on the road to creating a cool conference on crypto currency and block chain technology.

Now, due to unsure markets, venue gazumping and other unfortunate circumstances we are scrambling to organise anything remotely equivalent to last years #BitBrum. However, there is an alternative way of doing a mass meeting by using technology and keeping it free. - Live Streaming.

At the next meetup there will be a list of venues that could fit the bill but obviously the most important element would be content. It is something we have done before, so we need ideas and preferably fresh ideas.

EOS, Tether and Other Blockchain Concepts

There are new ways of getting involved in crypto currency. A lot of it is bewildering and complicated, therefore Alan, a staunch member of the group will be giving a seminar about the latest development. Please be aware that with the latest news the agenda may well be fluid.

There will also be news about #BitBrum.

CoinFest 2018 De-Brief sponsored by Knavecoin

Thursday‎, ‎April‎ ‎19‎, ‎2018
‎7‎:‎00‎ ‎PM to ‎11‎:‎00‎ ‎PM

All the news, tales, deals, trades, video, and gossip from Manchester.

Plus

Updates on the direction of the group since it is patently clear that some members are more interested in trading/investing questions and need room to develop strategies with other interested parties. The idea of another once a month meeting has been floated for some time and finally needs addressing.

Also


Having meetings in other areas and linking up with other groups within the Midlands and beyond as the rush of ideas about the future of crypto currency and blockchain technology grow more fervent.

Free snacks will be available at the meeting as it is Knavecoins 4th Birthday and it has been a rocky road in the great experiment in creating an artistic coin for the masses and not just the few.

Forking Bitcoin - Is It Safe?


Thursday, August 10, 2017
8:00 PM to 10:00 PM


The White Swan

276, Bradford St, Digbeth, West Midlands, B12 0QY, Birmingham.



We will be looking the situation to see if August 1st hoopla was what it was.

Will it be confusing or enlightening, socially acceptable or an economic pariah equivalent to the Lehman's Day 2008?

Also, there will be updates about #BitBrum conference 2017.

Forking Bitcoin - Is This Finally Armageddon?

8:00 PM to 10:00

The White Swan
276, Bradford St, Digbeth, West Midlands, B12 0QY, Birmingham


Segregated Witness has become very controversial. Due to the UASF the 1st of August 2017 will either be the day that makes Bitcoin go over ground or become the spawn of the devil in which a group of investors take over Bitcoin and everything associated.

So this meetup is an analysis by us to find out what may happen and how we as users can legislate for it's impact.

Behind The Irish Centre and Digbeth Coach Station



* A debrief session on the groups recent visit to Coinfest in Manchester which was very good.

* A discussion on creating a Bitcoin conference in Birmingham, which we clearly need.

* A bit of a chat about where bitcoin is going, and what the future might hold - particularly about the block size debate and what effect (if any) this might have on price, protocol and mining. I will be charging for this Meetup but if you want to come without paying that is cool as this is just a technical issue.
