I go to mtl once in a while, pm me if you need some help or something.

Just come to meetup when you're in town.
watch the meetup thread.

I looked around but couldn't find it (was probably right in my face too)... could someone link it?

Initially it was a joke, but the more I think about it maybe 'la Bitcoin réserve'  ( or is is 'le' ? ) pretty much bilingual and nicely symbolises a safe preservational environment and then there's the pun on the Fed.  Tongue

I think local trading here would be awesome, too. It's much better in person

Rent the top floor as office space to pay for the cost of maintaining the building.

I guess made up new words are a gray area...
The government is scared that the quebecer culture will be lost if its citizens start speaking english.

I can design a logo for the "embassy," PM me if you need one!  Smiley

we are not sure about the name
it must be french according to the law in quebec
but we would love help with this kind of stuff.

I spoke with Jake, the name has been decided. I'm not sharing it publicly for now because, you know, legal stuff and all. My offer still exist though, PM your email and I'll send you the document about it. I don't want to keep you in the dark.

So you cannot make up new words, etc.?

You can make up new words, it's not a problem (I did it with a previous business project). International trademarks like Wal-Mart or Best Buy are also protected. Name related to culture can also be used (like chinese restaurant). The law is mostly to make french as the default language for any business in Québec, especially for generic terminology, like "embassy".

But like I said, we have a name. We are still interested for your input on other subjects!

1st floor == Museum + Shop*
2nd floor == Free Hackerspace / Entrepreneur space
3rd floor == Office Space**

* The shop would consist of a place to buy and sell bitcoin related goods and services.
** Office space would be for embassy employees, interns and volunteers.

It's a great idea. But the idea of embassy seems contradictory to the essence of bitcoin: decentralized.


the name will change, there is a law in quebec which requires us to have a french name

How about "la maison du bitcoin" ("the bitcoin house"). That's what it kinda reminds me of, and has a very open and public ring to it.

Don't worry, like any other embassies, our goal is to steal and spy for the greater good of our tribe.  Grin

But seriously, see this project as a bridge between Bitcoin and the physical world.

What do you guys think about inviting the ZEITGEIST movement montreal  people to come to our hackerspace
I think these people are very much in tune with the " bitcoin philosophy ", they might not even know about bitcoin.

Yeah why not?
