Right then, Brighton heads (and those in surrounding areas and a mere train ride away). Who's up for a shandy and an evening of all things Bitcoin in a local ale house?


Sounds like you and me may have something in common then I'm actually about 5 miles from Brighton, out towards Shoreham way. Heading toward you?

So my angle on this is that I have a small rig running and a slightly bigger one arriving imminently (via a friend and an acquaintances who are willing to invest). What's more, it seems I've also acquired the use of a friend's services at a data centre, and all for a few alt coins too So where to go from there? Basically, I'm all for sharing experiences and ideas because I think the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.....

I'm in Sussex 10 miles from Brighton. Would be interested in any meet-ups. I'm also a programmer, but a bit old-skool.

If there's a meetup in Brighton I might make a trip down. I'm in London which isn't far, and I've got a few mates down in Brighton who I can visit.

Perhaps we should organise a Brighton together in a friendly local ale house?

Lots of Brighton heads about!

I'll be back for summer in a couple of weeks can't wait

+1. Would be good to chat to a few Brighton heads....

I was, I did Went quiet, but you've moved things on. Good for you ps. I'm in Brighton too.....

Haha, spot on!

yea that is amir taaki, the guy behind intersango before it went all wrong. and another guy that just writes a few editorials now and again for the bitcoin magazine.
amir seems to be more of the "occupy wallstreet/anonymous" clan of bitcoin users, as oppose to the mainstream regular folk

they try to act like they are to the same standard as gavin andressen. which i just facepalm at every quote of their expertise.

i think they are trying to live their whole life on bitcoin.. to me i just think they dont know how to budget and plan things to cover all the costs to live and function in a normal life. which explains why his exchange failed, due to lack of understanding of basic requirements to function in the world lol

atleast i personally can function in a fully rented and council taxed home, paying all the bills and what not via bitcoin. hopefully one day we all will be able to do this without resorting to squatting in vacant office buildings.

so the learning experience of this is. don't do a "amir" or ull end up not only having ur bank account closed for simply not having FSA licences. but also squatting.. learn the law, follow it. and realise bitcoin is only freedom when not used in combination with the pound coin.
if you handle the pound coin then expect the laws of the pound coin to handle you

Me and a few of my BTC buddy's are near Manchester We would be interested!

Even the tramps squatting in abandoned buildings in London are using bitcoin. Seriously, I saw it in the Telegraph(I think it was the Telegraph anyway, anyone else remember this story?).

Sorry mate, London is calling.

Hi having spoken with mark with skype for a short while, us owning a UK based company offering the services for Avalon Asic chip purchase, with the option of having Avalon Asics embedded onto PCB's we will be also offering services for hosting people's Asic Systems so they do not need to monitor it themselves.

We will be working in conjunction with Mark & his website & also with our website known as www.asicgigahash.com

at this time we are in early days But we have secured our order for 10,000 Avalon Asics with many more options to be brought to the website.

Kind Regards

Interested, keep us updated.

we just set one up Frnaky on irc.mibbit.net #bitchat see you in there maybe ?

Mark

It's meant for trading but people also chat. After all, it's a chat channel and not always there's trading going on (and even when there is, people chat).

the otc-uk meant to be used for trading coins not general UK chitchat but theres nothing stopping us UK lot starting a UK chat hash on IRC,

me and mark lyford have already had some skype chit chat with a couple other like minded UK lot. so skype is another option for those wanting to get businesses set up where anonymity is not going to be an issue to argue about

Try #bitcoin-otc-uk in freenode.

Maybe you can put me down in that list, depending on what comes out of it :-)

ok we have newyork, sanfransisco as the main bitcoin hubs of USA, i think amsterdam is the bitcoin capital of europe. and looks like brighton will be the bitcoin capital of UK

sounds great. i'm also in london.
