I am in New York, thinking I'm definitely attending CoinFest 2016. I recently have begun working from home, so I have the ability to travel freely. I want to help out in some way, and I certainly want to attend with possibly a few friends.
Trying to find the most exciting event near me, to convince the car-full of people I bring with me to begin using Bitcoin for the first time.
Unfortunately, there are not yet any CoinFest events all that close to New York. Maybe you could try to convince the Bitcoin Center there to host one?Trying to find the most exciting event near me, to convince the car-full of people I bring with me to begin using Bitcoin for the first time.
too few places in asia. whereas miners and users in ASIA amount to quite a lot. very unfortunate..
Yeah, it's mostly just Korea so far. This is an open source movement, so people in Asia have to decide to make it happen.I was actually planning on Road-tripping to the largest one "near" me. Meaning I would drive anywhere in USA or Canada for the largest event held within those two countries
So my questions is , which is the biggest/most-exciting event held in U.S.A./Canada? and how can I help out?
CoinFests are planned in Tampa Bay, Orange Country/Los Angeles (exact location undecided), Niagara, Toronto and Vancouver. It's hard to say which one will be biggest at this point, though. It used to be that Vancouver always stole the show, but this stopped being the case at the last CoinFest. Vancouver was still the biggest in North America, but might be less grand this year.TLDR: I suggest waiting a bit before deciding which one you want to attend. You can see the list as it evolves here: http://www.coinfest.org/coinfest-2016/
As for helping out: help spread the word as much as possible so people come and celebrate, and every CoinFest event is bigger. Many of them also require volunteers to operate.
You can do whatever you want, of course, but for listing on
