Blockchain Enthusiasts Meetup to discuss Steem Whitepaper

Knoxville Blockchain Enthusiasts Meetup

I started a new Meetup with Hive account@complexring for people interested in blockchain technology. It has already attracted some members with different professional backgrounds and is growing. It was suggested that we meet bimonthly and pick a couple of papers as assigned reading before each meeting, so we're trying this out. We will meet on Wednesday this week to discuss the Steem whitepaper and Breakout Coin over beers at Blackhorse Pub and Brewery.

1st Topic: Steem!

As we all know, the Steem blockchain is interesting because of its structure and what it can do for writers, other content producers, curators, and social media users in general.

2nd topic: Breakout Coin

Breakout Coin, a payment system tied to online gaming, uses a multicurrency blockchain, and is the first system where interest earning capacity is completely separate from the principal.

I plan to record and post about our members' ideas on both of these projects and their interesting features. Hopefully we will get some new converts to Steemit in the process.

If any of you who see this happen to be in the Knoxville, TN area on Wednesday, 22 June, you are most welcome to join us!

Feel free to comment at any time on the ideas I post, and let me know if you have a blockchain project we should discuss, or an activity that would suit an interactive club at the intersection of computer science and business. What do you think of the Meetup page and description?

I'd like to open this up to remote members using Slack as well.
