Alright! The Free State Project's largest annual event, PorcFest, is occuring June 18-24 at Roger's Campground in New Hampshire. This is basically a large libertarian camping festival - with food, guns, music, panel discussions, drinking, smoking, intellectual discourse, and all manner of subversive anti-state activity.

They have integrated Paysius.com, so they are now accepting Bitcoins for registration.

This year, I'm setting up a full Bitcoin exchange as a vendor on sight, and will be preaching the good word. Ira Miller, Charlie Shrem, and Roger Ver will also be in attendance, as well as at least one girl from GirlsGoneBitcoin Wink

Bitcoin will be almost as prevalent as conversations about building roads without governments.

So, if you're going and haven't registered yet, GO NOW and pay with Bitcoin! Select Bitcoin during checkout: https://freestateproject.org/registration/porcfest/2012

Super excited for this years festival!

If anyone needs a ride from New York, let me know!

Freedom Festival... Price of admission: not free - totally a meme in the making....

Why is it so hard for people to understand the difference between free as in "the absence of coercion" and free as in "a market price of zero." I know they share a name but jeez... Wink

And the link between freedom and no fees is?

You serious?

This is really awesome. If there's a perfect group of people to introduce Bitcoin to it's them.

Of course. It's very unfortunate that english has the same word for "free as in beer" and "free as in speech". Because that's really not the same thing.

Lawyers use "gratis" to mean "free as in beer", and "libre" to mean "free as in speech".

We should just use the word "liberty" when we want to say "freedom"

This event will double as a week long Bitcoin conference.
I am glad to be a part of it.

The more Bitcoiners the merrier!

Pig pig sooie!

I'm sure Bardo will be roasting some of their pigs, but PorcFest is short for the Porcupine Freedom Festival. The Free State Project uses the porcupine as its mascot as it is a friendly creature as long as you don't mess with it, but if you do you'll pay for it.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Freedom is becoming an increasingly luxury good.

In a monetary system, you are only as free as you can afford to be.

That's not money, that's reality.

Oh man, house doesn't grow like a plant, cars doesn't fall from the sky ready for you to drive,... All those things comes from men's work. Tha's not slavery that's reality.

This whole discussion made me think of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVY7qDjrPZk

Freedom isn't free. No there's a hefty fuckin' fee

But to kick this back on topic. Nice initiative evoorhees, also smart to make an exchange available. I won't be attending (other continent) but good luck.

Very interesting!

And that's where english fail, same word for two different things that are often related Cheesy

English should start to use different words for free in sense of free speech and free in sense of free beer.

Money has no relationship to reality. The items you listed are products of innovation and are technical in nature.
