Be cool to Bitcoin crowdfund some of these places!  I can see where people open up Bitcoin embassies all over the world. Very cool idea indeed!

What kind of services do we want to offer? ( BTC / CAD exchange ? )

Absolutely you must offer offshore mining.

Re: Is the title " Bitcoin Embassy " appropriate?

Sounds a little political.

What about Bitcoin Institute or Bitcoin Bureau?  Huh

It might be interesting to offer courses on setting up wallet and other basics of Bitcoins especially in two streams, English and French, would be good.

As for the name, I'm making a document right now to describe the "trademark". If you want, PM your email and I can send you the document. It's in french, but I think you can read it.  Wink

Otherwise, well, I can make a translated version later.

Send it to me either! I'm curious about it

PM me your email.

Hey guys.

I'm looking for physical Bitcoin-related products that could be sold in a store. For example, Casascius coin or something similar, but also everything related. It could be t-shirts, beer glasses, cars, I don't know.

Also, do anyone have a source of physical Bitcoin information? Like pamphlet, posters, anything that can be distributed?

We can't use that. With the law 101, we need a french name or something in french to describe it. If not, we're going to be stuck with something like "Les ambassades Bitcoin Embassy".
But don't worry, I have something for this and I believe this problem is solved. I'll talk about it next time we meet.

law 101 I forgot about that.

I will make a list of Bitcoin-related products we might want to showcase in the store.

Great! That would be helpful. Are you going to post the list here?

Wow, that's pretty awesome! Not to mention Montreal is only an hour and a half away, so visiting isn't really a big deal Cheesy

There are certainly a number of things you could do with 3 floors worth of space...hmm...

We will have a big meetup sometime soon when we have a good plan and something worth showing off

i'll add you to the bitcoin montreal meetup mailing list to keep you updated

How should be organizes the street floor and the 2 other floors?


IMO, Jake's vision is the way to go,

The street floor we have a "bitcoin help desk" ( a place anyone can walk into and ask questions to a professional behind the desk )
  maybe we want to allow customers to buy and sell bitcoin here?
  maybe we want to sell bitcoin related products here?

The second floor is a lounge that is open to all bitcoiners, this is where we kick back and have a few drinks as we talk about the endless possibilities bitcoin offers.
  maybe we want to have some events happen here open to the general public?


The third floor is the office space where bitcoiners come to work!
   I work from home and its a bitch sometimes having the kids constantly distract me, maybe I could be allowed to work 9 to 5, 5 days a week in the building Huh  Cheesy

Would love to do it here in NZ, would require substantial funds though.

I feel so fortunate that its happening in montreal, since I live nearby.  Smiley

goto the Official thread


Coming soon to montreal
The Bitcoin Embassy!



Thanks to a generous person who will remain anonymous for the time being, We have been given a building that we hope to convert into a  " Bitcoin Embassy ". With three floors to do with as we please, we hope to organize the space to make it easy and fun for people from all over the province to come and learn about bitcoin, as well provide an office space for bitcoiners to come do in order to start bitcoin related projects, so they can work closely with other bitcoin entrepreneurs, to develop exciting projects that will utilize bitcoin in new ways! We are still in the early stages of development, but we hope to open our doors ASAP! With that said there is much work to be done in a short time, we welcome any and all ideas from the community at large, if you had to build turn a building into a " Bitcoin Embassy " how would you do it?


Many questions that need to be answered:

Is the title " Bitcoin Embassy " appropriate?
How should be organizes the street floor and the 2 other floors?
What will be our main mission?
What kind of services do we want to offer? ( BTC / CAD exchange ? )
Building policy?
(There is at least 21 million other questions, but this is a start )

We welcome any and all ideas from the community at large, if you had to turn a building into a " Bitcoin Embassy " how would you do it?
