Last Saturday, a light rain spoiled the first open meeting of Moscow bitcoiners in Gorky Park. According to the meeting profile on social media only 15 persons attended.

One of the organisers posted a report on the “Vkontakte” network.

“The meeting was short but very useful. There were around 20 people all in all. Some people were coming, some people were going and we had to go to a café.”

Representatives of several companies appeared at the meeting. One could also note there representative of Bitcoin Embassy Ukraine Michael Chobanian.

“We tested the Trezor wallet, spoke to an owner of a mining pool and had real coins in our hands. Later in the evening we had a long walk near Kremlin,” says the organiser

The organisers of the bitcoin picnic announced it on the “Vkontakte” social network a few days before the event. They also asked all participants to bring volleyballs, Frisbees, longboards and “food and drinks” and to invite people interested in bitcoin.

The Saturday rain decimated the number of participants. Some 10 people dropped out on Saturday morning because of the weather.Those who came to Gorky Park had to face other problems. Moscow bitcoiners hid themselves so well, that fellow cryptoenthusiasts could not find them

“I walked for an hour there and did not meet anyone,” said user Sergey Pesennikov.
