Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

I'm in the USA, but have a development office in Ahmedabad.  I'm there several times a year and am working on getting around the country more when I visit.  I'd like to have a network where we could grab dinner and talk bitcoin (and other things) when I'm sightseeing.

(Psst, if you're an awesome dev, we could meet at my office :-))

This may come as a shock to you, but I'm one of the few members here that's actually visited Ahmedabad. Without going into greater detail as to why I toured India, I do have wedding photos where a red dot is clearly visible on my forehead. Feel free to deduce the rest, for I believe your assessment will be correct.

PS: In case you do need a hint, her last name was Patel.

EDIT: WTF, I thought this was in the India section and not in Meta. Stumbled upon it via another direction. I request a do-over.

English helps us Indians to communicate not only outside India, But also helps us to share our views with other Indians.
We won't throw out our own mothers, if some other women shows the same kindness & love
We welcome the love from other also & share it to our mothers.
Love all.

Now that we have an Indian subforum, what are the rules? Are people allowed to post only in English, or Hindi, or can they use any of the many Indian languages?

No need for rules until it gets bigger.

So as of right now, you can post in any language. That sounds fair to begin with. I guess if it actually gets used alot there could be child boards designated for various languages.

Altho i'm not against it i'm not sure if a separation would be wise.
With india i would susspect that bicoin may at some point become popular as a real currency.
When that happens a lot of naive and uneducated people will enter the scene.
I'm not sure they should be left to be eaten by the wolfs.
Because of the language barrier that would most definitely emerge i fear that the subforum would quickly become a safe place for scammers to seek out their prey, much more so than this forum in general.
At least untill it has sufficient ammounts of experienced people that can guide the rest.
But im not from India and i wonder what you Indian people think of this.


I'm a firm believer in appointing one or two local moderators who are from the localisation country and speak both languages well. (that language, and english)

Only have to use English, even though its not a Indian language.
Coz every state people uses their own language.
Even though Hindi is official language, other languages also official to use, like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam.......

If have to use ONE language to connect all Indians , then only English can do that.
English also official language in India.

I am from Tamilnadu, India & I encourage to have a sub forum.
The reason for not much coordination on Bitcoin awareness is due to different language people living in different part of India.

The uniqueness of India "Unity in diversity", some what restricts coordination due to different languages.
So, it will take some time. 

How would people from India communicate in an India section? English?

Are the local subforum based on location or language?

Perhaps you could start a thread in the "Meetups" subforum about people in India?

India has a huge pool of freelancers, programmers, designers, translators etc, they use Paypal a lot to get their payments, why can't they use Bitcoin instead?

I personally would love to see a more countries added to the local sub forums. I feel that providing this will help to enable more promotion, local trade and local discussion in countries where bitcoin isn't as well known. Aren't those the reasons why forum communities should exist?

I requested Greek because of the financial crisis there and I got a lot of +1's but the request was ignored. Mods?

Good luck.

Being from India, I would love this.

I know a couple of people in India who are on the fence when it comes to bitcoins just because they don't know how they would sell it when they wanted to. Not a lot of avenues to sell bitcoins in India. A dedicated subforum would help build a better community and boost transactions.
