I went to the London Cryptocurrency Show and it was awesome!
Just wow. I didn't know what to expect at the London Cryptocurrency Show, but I will tell you what I have found. And I liked it.
Stars of the Show
Preparation
I did the usual stuff: printed tickets, prepared my outfit and baked 10 kilograms of bread.

Simple rye bread

All baked on Friday for the show :)
Arrival
Going through the hotel was like getting through a maze: lift up, left, the door ahead, round the stairs, stairs down, stairs down again, in the queue, through the door into the Steem corner. I did the route a couple times and still haven't worked out a simpler way. Oh well.
Promotional materials
The stall
At the booth
Stephen (@stephenkendal) has made very impressive TV tables. What I loved about the stand is that it was mainly empty - it gave a lot of space to meet and talk. What I loved even more he that it wasn't enough room, so we ended up having charts everywhere around. Promo Steem guys talked to many many people including businesses, showing how they can benefit from our blockchain.
Discussions at the booth
What was really really really great was that I could meet other Steemians and listen to all the amazing chats: and he said, and she said, and I think, and we should, and here, have some bread, and oh! I read your post yesterday!

And then we had a chance to reach out to others and share our perspective. What I publish, and why, and why Steem, and here's my login, and so on.
Presentation
Dylan (@anarchotech) has made sure everything ran smoothly. Quick introduction, then Ilana (@techslut) presented Utopian, Phil (@dunsky) talked about eSteem (there is a desktop app they are working on), guys from @SteemPress presented their solution, Dylan filled in for Joseph (@ejemai) to talk about STACH. Then Alla (@Allasyummyfood) presented her experience as a blogger and as a Steemit blogger (wow, there's so much left to learn), and to close it of, @mrs.steemit presented her new product, Appic, which may be one of the first big solutions adopting Steem Media Tokens for appreciation and transferring value.

Other stalls
MiningFarm booth
There were investors, lawyers, coin makers, exchanges etc. Out of all I will just shout out a warm hi to guys at MiningFarm, offering solutions to miners. They were the only people out there to bring an actual mining rig in there, and it resonated well with the geeky bit of my heart.

I apologise to those I haven't mentioned. You're awesome as well!
My participation was a total success, meaning I didn't have to carry any of the bread back! And as an extra, I will get to put more pins on my bread travel map!
Thank you to everyone. I like Steemit a little bit more now :)

Yup, was an informative meet. I have much better understanding of the platform now and how it all works. Confirms my first instinct in liking what Steemit was doing when I first signed up.
Now all I need to do it buckle down and start investigating the API's and stuff ;)
Good chat, thanks! Was interested to learn more about the way Steemit works with regards to witness and community moderation and how to avoid disruptive behaviour. Fascinating to know about your back story too. As I do happen to like bread for sure I am following you now and will have to scroll back and see what I missed.
Till next time!
Thanks for a lovely chat and see you at some next meeting perhaps :)
Sure, no worries. London is a big place but it is not so big people don't bump into each other.
I'll never forget coming down from Uni once on a scavenger hunt and meeting a friend from high school coming down on the escalator when I was going up. It turned into a bit of a farce me running up the escalator only to run down the other one.
Just another one of those London tales.
That really looks like a blast! Such a learning engagement and you get to meet people in real life and make friends with new ones as well. Now you know they are real :D Lots of different stalls too.
I wonder who ate most of the bread lol!
I'm waiting for confessions :P
They look so good that if they taste as good as they look nobody would confess for sure. I know I wouldn't :D
If nobody does, I won't make it next time :P
Oh no. I hope somebody will and hope you will find out :D Follow the bread crumbs :D
Będzie jakaś relacja dla Polaków? :)
Postaram się. Teraz muszę odblokować ten drugi blog.
Hi - good to meet you on Saturday. Thanks for the great write up of the event and also the great photos. I wanted to let you know that your bread travelled to Yorkshire and was amazing with both butter and peanut butter! Here is a photo:
Brilliant, glad you liked it. I'm putting Yorkshire on my map :)
