Mountain View, CA, USA
The Silicon Valley Ethereum Meetup is a forum for developers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts to learn about and develop for Ethereum. We have meetings on the technical details of the Ethereum protocol and contracts, and on more general subjects such as decentralized storage. We have meetings in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Santa Clara, and elsewhere in Silicon Valley; if you live in SF you may want to join our sister group: the San Francisco Ethereum Developer Meetup.
For more information on Ethereum see the whitepaper, the yellowpaper, forums on Stackexchange and Reddit, and also Gitter Chat.
Our focus is on the good and bad of Ethereum; we prefer to leave the faults of other cryptocurrencies and organizations (the US dollar, Federal Reserve) to other venues wherever possible. The Silicon Valley Ethereum Meetup is dedicated to an enjoyable experience for all; see details here. Contact us at svethereummeetup@gmail.com if you’d like to help organize events.
