Join the Bitcoin Surrey Meetup on Tues 16th January 2024 from 6pm until close (11pm) in the beautiful Pavilion by Howling Owl, Holloway Hill Recreation Ground, Godalming, GU7 1QD.
This month’s meet-up will be “Bitcoin Mining” themed, and will include:
A screening of STRANDED, a short award winning film by Alana Mediavilla about Bitcoin mining at 8pm. It explores the story of Bitcoin miners who’ve uncovered a way to harness stranded electricity, transforming it into Bitcoin; explaining how it acts as an energy buyer of first AND last resort and can help build electricity infrastructure to parts of the world it’s been impossible before. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Bitcoin mining and serves as the perfect precursor to the coming full-length feature documentary DIRTY COIN.
Headline attendees: Susie Violet Ward, Freddie New & Russell Rukin
Susie is a Director of Bitcoin Policy UK (BPUK) and is Head of Mining and Sustainability. She’s a Financial Analyst with a background in Accounting with a strong interest in Bitcoin and the environment, and has authored several research articles on the benefits of Bitcoin Mining and its advantages for the future of renewable energy.
Freddie is also a Director of BPUK and is Head of Policy. Freddie most recently has been working on and submitted the BPUK’s consultation response to the European Securities & Markets Authority on the sustainability credentials of Bitcoin mining; the BPUK’s submission debunks myths and provides an objective analysis of Bitcoin’s environmental impact:
Russell is Mining & Sustainability Advisor for BPUK. A dedicated environmentalist, Russell has become a strong bitcoin mining advocate, which he sees as a perfect partner to help grow the UK’s renewable energy infrastructure.
Susie, Freddie and Russell will all be present to answer questions/add to the conversation. Join them on the sofas with a drink.
A Nerdminer will be on display and operating. Nerdminer is an open-source project by BitMaker that allows you to mine bitcoin with a small piece of hardware that can fit in the palm of your hand, roughly the size of a matchbox! A groundbreaking device designed to make Bitcoin mining accessible to all.
A giveaway of Braiins.com Bitcoin Mining handbooks. We have a handful to giveaway (normally RRP £12), donated by a Bitcoin Surrey meet-up regular who was gifted them by an ex-employee of Braiins. The handbook starts with the basics of mining, explaining the incentives of proof of work and some practical tips for mining yourself.
