Hi all
The next Bitcoin Manchester is confirmed. It will be Monday 1st December, 7-9pm at the Manchester Digital Laboratory (MadLab). We have 3 activities, summaries follow (see the link below for a full description):
# Ideas for the Gov.uk consultation
The UK Government has started an open consultation titled Digital currencies: Call for Information which runs until Wednesday 3rd December 2014.
We will run through the questions in turn and collect ideas from the group. We will submit our finished response on behalf of Bitcoin Manchester on 3rd Dec.
# Bearwhale Poster Raffle
Some of you may remember earlier this year the story of the Bitcoin Bearwhale, when a huge 30,000 bitcoin sell order appeared on Bitstamp. This story rapidly became part of Bitcoin lore, and a number of artists started designing commemorative pieces. We have a full-size print of one available to win! (See the website link for a photo.)
Entry will be a small bitcoin ticket fee. If anyone doesn’t have a wallet set up, don’t worry, we’ll show you how to use GreenAddress to create a convenient and secure wallet on the night.
# Predictions for 2015
To continue the tradition started in December 2013, we’ll be making predictions for 2015. We have the slips from last year looking forwards to 2014, so we’ll be able to see how closely our predictions/guesses played out! (Hint: some were better than others…)
