You do realize that most conferences, even first year start-ups like this one, cost A LOT more than $26?

$26 is a move for two.

If the $26 is the reason your are not attending, then the conference does not need you.

Fred has been trying unsuccessfully to contact Bruce about getting Ixcoin a vendor table and sign up to be a conference sponsor. He does not appear to be returning Fred's emails or chat requests.

I'm guessing he's pretty busy organizing the conference, but can anyone help in getting hold of him? That would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Why do you need to contact Bruce? Just go here a pay the $130 for a vendor table: http://bitcoinme.com/index.php/bitcon-2011/

Or are you asking him to accept your ixcoins for a table? :p

P.S. My bet is that Nasakioto == Fred Twingham. Tell me I'm wrong.

Fred, what will you be having at the Ixcoin table anyway?  And CoinedIxbits?  I know gold is a stretch but you could go with straight brass.

What does "Pseudonymous socializing" mean?

Why would there be a Ixcoin table at a Bitcoin conference? It seems as weird as a Nokia stand at a Motorola conference.

Not trying to be agressive or anything, Im just curious. I really dont get what a Ixcoin table would do at a Bitcon conference.

i thought the same thing... it would be truly bizarre.

it's not a 'p2p decentralized virtual currency conference', it's a bitcoin conference.

Sorry.  I am quite busy.

Pick up the telephone and call me if you have questions... anyone.  

You can buy a Vendor Table (or multiple Vendor Tables) and/or a Conference Sponsorship Display Package on the web site.

At this point, if you have questions, call.

I can also do email.  But allow a bit of time.

I can not do Forum PM or MSN or Twitter or Facebook Chat or IRC or a multitude of other methods.  If you're not reaching me.    Call me.   Or email me.

Sounds like Bruce is ok with it. 

On the one hand, I agree it is odd.  On the other hand, why not?
