 There is a Bitcoin Meetup coming to my area in a few weeks. I would like to see our time together be productive beyond the socialization. Does anyone have ideas for a topic(s) that could/should  be covered in an hour or less of a 90-120 minute meeting? I'm thinking it would be useful to teach/  learn how to use the lightning network for micropayments.  Are any of my inland Northwest compatriots adept at this use of the technology - willing to bring a lesson plan of sorts to our meeting in October?

 Thanks I know him. Just shot him a DM to see if he's coming to the meeting.  
 Awesome. I’m in the region too! Would be curious where it is if you want to DM! I don’t know if I’d have time to prep much of a real lesson, but I’ve been around long enough to be able to help with many things nostr or bitcoin! 
 For lightning - self hosted vs custodial @ZEUS and @Alby are great resources and leaders in the space 

Bitcoin as a treasury asset strategy for individuals and businesses

Ecash and fedimint - certainly a lot of promise but fairly advanced depending on the crowd 
 Mysterious date, mysterious time,  mysterious place, mysterious people, this sounds like a mysterious way to have a meetup. How would someone go about finding it? Is it secret?
