Today I attended the first ever Scandinavian EOS meetup together with @umulius & @partywalrus. The meetup was hosted by @bitspace, and the event was held at the Radison Blue Plaza Hotel. We decided to arrive on location early as there was promises of goodie-bags with merch for the first people showing up.

@clains hosted the first talk of the evening titled 'Introduction to EOS'. He guided us trough @dan's previous inventions like Bitshares and Steem, and provided a brief introduction on the concept of the EOS platform. The most memorable part for me from his talk was a story he shared about how Daniel had discussed Bitcoins future scalability issues with Satoshi on forums back in 2009(?).
I particularly enjoyed the talk @innuendo had. It was titled 'EOS - the next step in smart-contracts?'. In his talk he touched on a few subjects I have been interested in learning more about recently. Like for example how the storage solution will work on the EOS platform. He also did a great job highlighting several of the most important features that EOS will be released with like options for account recovery.
This is the awesome stash I got for showing up early! :3
Henning Rokling from Parsec Frontiers also had a interesting talk. They are setting out to build a massive multiplayer online game that will have all in game items linked to a blockchain. Henning talked about how Ethereum and other chains they had looked into using for their project before EOS could not provide the throughput and scalability they needed. Look out for their upcoming ICO!
We decided that it would be appropriate to end the evening on a high note by taking a trip to the top floor. This hotel has a famous glass elevator, its a great way to view Oslove city from above for free _
