Hey Bas, I kept looking on the forum for a message from you and I've only just seen this one today :/
We happened to be in central that last evening would have been nice to have met you whilst we were there.

Will definitely have to meet next time we are in Amsterdam.

Hi Richard,

OK, unfortunately. Great to hear that your event was also a great succes! The Amsterdam Bitcoin community wanted to visit your event, but you said it wasn't happening (see above). So the Amsterdam Bitcoin community went elsewhere. 

Today the Amsterdam Bitcoin community is meeting again at Beurs van Berlage, Beursplein, Amsterdam.

The Bitcoin Wednesday Team informed everyone about Bitcoin Wednesday.  It was a great success.

Day 2 of the 3-Day free Bitcoin conference continues now, and parts of it will be Live Streamed.  Check Twitter #BTCAmsterdam to follow latest updates.

Cheers.

Hi Ruthie,

Great to hear that Chris's event was smashing! The organiser Richard (Pikapay) said that there was no Bitcoin Wednesday yesterday (see above). If we knew we would have visited it together with the Amsterdam Bitcoin community gathering during the three day event at the Beurs van berlage, Beursplein Amsterdam.

The team setting up the 3-day conference -- Amsterdam Bitcoin Conference Reloaded -- have specifically avoided anything happening in that little cafe or with Bas.  His conflicting announcements disruptive to the team who have worked so hard to put this whole free event together.



The Free 3-Day Conference starts at 12:00 here:

"In the Golden Age Amsterdam was the first place in the world to create a fixed location for the trade in stocks and shares (1611). The shares of the very first limited liability company in the world to be traded were those of the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, abbreviated to VOC).
Three hundred years later Berlage built the third Amsterdam Stock Exchange (1903); a building that generated a lot of controversy and, today, is considered the beginning of modern Dutch architecture."

The venue is Science Park Amsterdam. This is where early attempts to integrate cryptography with electronic money were made by David Chaum (Chaum.com) (inventor of many cryptographic protocols. His 1981 paper, "Untraceable Electronic Mail, Return Addresses, and Digital Pseudonyms", laid the groundwork for the field of anonymous communications research. For example the predecessor of TOR: Mix networks), through his companies DigiCash (anonymous transactions) and ecash (anonymous electronic cash system), which used cryptography to anonymise electronic money transactions.

Speakers list will be updated coming days:

http://bitcoinference.com/speakers.html

Talks about Bitcoin, alternatives and successors, role of the financial system in the credit crises, panel "Bitcoin, regulation and taxation".

Ticketprices for full conference and per day:
