If this is your first time at one of our meetups, welcome to the bitcoin capital of the world. We have a few guidelines to keep the event running smoothly:
- our meetups focus solely on Bitcoin. We do not welcome discussions about Web3 or any other "crypto" projects at our events. If you are interested in crypto discussions there are a number of other meetups to join.
- please no photos. We respect the privacy of our community.
- please give your attention to the presenters during the seminar and keep side conversations to zero. We are in a pre-QE building, which means we are surrounded by concrete and little insulation; even a whisper can become a distraction to other guests and those presenting. There will be time to converse and network before and after the seminar.
- please pick up after yourself. While we enjoy offering free beverages and snacks to our guests, we do not have a cleaning staff to clean up empty cans, bottles, plates, snacks, etc. Please help us keep the Commons clean by disposing of trash in one of the trash bins.
- parking: Street parking or the paid garage across from our building on East 6th (515 Congress)
