9 years! Wow! Reading your commentary in the post and the responses of others in the comments has been really interesting. I want to organise a get together, especially now that I've got a car again, driving further afield is not going to be such a big deal.
Have we considered getting the people mentioned here, commenting here especially, together for a meetup and chat about how we could develop Hive further, in terms of how we use it, how we boost it's numbers and yes focus on the strengths besides crypto. To be honest, I see that as a secondary thing here, I love how this comment earns and posts in my various projects do the same.
I doubt I'll ever be a whale but give it time, who knows - what matters the most is how this platform can connect people.
Hi there, which part of the country are you in? I've arranged a few low key meet ups and was thinking about one in the Autumn that would be in the South East. Usually, I just find a friendly venue - pub or coffee-shop - with a semi-secluded area where we can chat, and then post on Hive. I have a venue in the Midlands, for something in the Spring.
@steevc and @molometer have both arranged great local meetups which included a walk, I really enjoyed the one that I was able to get to in Cambridge. Most of the ones I have been to have been six to a dozen people.
Hi @shanibeer I'm in London now so I'm up for a meetup anytime more or less. I'll check out anything that you suggest. 👍
Hope to see you again. The last time we all met was a blast. 😂👍
It's always fun 😍 I'm looking at 4 November in Holborn 4pm - more news when I've spoken to the venue.
Sounds good to me. See you soon'ish 👍
Berkshire, in a village near Reading, so south east sounds great. Let me know the details, add a mention, so that I see it.
I could arrange one at our local village hall, or one of our various pubs around here.
@steevc is always very good at mentioning meet-ups in the Brit List where everyone is tagged, so that's great promotion for anything we do. I'm thinking about Canterbury as reasonably easy for people to get to from other parts of the country. I was also just thinking about one in London - there's a really nice pub next door to where I work which has an upstairs lounge. They may be willing to make that available exclusively for Hive. I'm usually there on a Thursday during the day time - we could organise something from 4.00pm; or I could see what availability is on a Saturday when we could a lunchtime thing.
Do you mind if I resnap this?? Canterbury is a fair trek for me but London is definitely doable because I’m up there twice a month, often on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Our office is near Aldgate, The Minories.
Let's have some firmer plans before snapping :)
We're at Holborn.
Sure, we’ll keep it under the radar. Holborn is walkable from my office, so that would be a good option.
Yes, one near Reading could be great!
I’ll mull it over this week
I've organised a few meetups. I think smaller local events are more viable. Then you don't necessarily need to book a venue.
There are many reasons to be on Hive and the rewards are certainly a part of it. I think people are looking for alternatives to the corporate platforms.
I would take many years for me to reach whale status at this rate, but I'm doing okay.
