The year started off on February 10th at the Brewery Bar lead by Dave Moskovitz. It then went quiet for a while and was kicked back into life with a meet up in September hosted by API Talent.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been building momentum ever since thanks to 3 Months and Bizdojo\/Collider and ended last evening with a talk on Ethereum mining, a demo of an Ethereum app and an update from Mark from 3 months\u00a0on some of the exciting events in the pipeline for 2017, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>Last night Felix gave a great Ethereum demo called EthBay where he sold a laptop and showed how it worked under the covers.
