Below is a suggested list of places to find interesting socratic seminar topics to discuss at +BitDevsLA meetups. If you have any others to add to this list let us know. Or to suggest topics +for upcoming meetups please send us a DM on twitter, @bitdevsla.
+BitDevs LA is inspired by the original BitDevs NYC to +help grow a community in the Los Angeles area of those interested in discussing +and participating in the research and development of Bitcoin and related +protocols. You can be well versed with or new to the topics, all are welcome. +Be advised: discussion will be technical.
+Our monthly Socratic Seminar events are formatted to foster debate, information +sharing and lively discussion. In the weeks preceding the event, discussion +topics are collated by meetup members from a variety of sources: pull requests +in popular git repositories (e.g. Bitcoin Core, lnd, c-lightning, Joinmarket, +Elements Alpha and Electrum), research papers, technical blog posts, IRC logs, +network monitors and more. To complete the meeting, members present open source +projects, companies, research and other relevant materials. A feedback and Q&A +section follow. After the event the group gathers at a nearby restaurant to +socialize.
+A newsletter is sent out the day of the event which outlines discussion topics. +Archives of discussion topics and presentations can be found in the event +descriptions of past meetups and on this web site. The discussion portion of +the event is NEVER recorded. It is recommended that you have a firm grasp of +the basics of Bitcoin in order to extract the most value from our Socratic events.
+Please contact the organizers if you'd like to present at a future Socratic
+event or have a recommended topic for discussion: contact at bitdevsla.org.
+There are different requirements for presentations depending on the nature
+of the project. Check our list of suggestions for
+where to find topics for future seminars.

After over a year of doing meetups online, we're finally hosting our first in-person Bitcoin meetup +of 2021! To celebrate, we are going to throw a giant party with free beer, free food, and free Bitcoin +swag all sponsored by the amazing Bitcoiners at River Financial.
+So tell all your friends and come hang out at the +Firestone Brewing Company - The Propagator out in Venice!
+3205 Washington Blvd, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
+There’s parking in the back and along the street, but I recommend carpooling or ubering.
+If you haven't figured out by now, this is a Bitcoin-only event. 🙂
+Hey ya'll! Thanks for coming to our last meetup and making it a huge success. We're going to keep the party going with a Bitcoin pool party!
+This time it'll be BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer). But we'll have our very own DJ Gorilla Solz mixing it up poolside.
+So bring your swimming trunks, your fun-selves, and maybe some hardware wallets to "lose" in a terrible pool accident. (This is a joke. Please don't bring your hardware wallets).
+Also don't by shy about bringing some food/snacks too.
+As a final note, we will be moving back to our regular Socratic Seminar style meetups in September.
+See you there!
+The address listed in the event is NOT WHERE THE POOL PARTY WILL BE!
+I’ll message everyone the address a couple of days before the event. You MUST rsvp to get the location but it will be somewhere in Venice.

+BitSwarm uses Bitcoin, Lightning, and BitTorrent to create a decentralized marketplace for anyone to buy or sell hard drive space and bandwidth to share files online. Rather than relying on a centralized and censorable service like Google or Amazon for hosting, BitSwarm is sufficiently decentralized that censorship is not possible. The project is open source, pre-beta, and only working on testnet so far. We are continuing development and hope to have a big update towards the end of the year.

+Richard is a long-time software developer who made the transition to Bitcoin and Lightning development thanks to Chaincode Labs summer residency program where he worked on tests for BIP-118 and the eltoo upgrade of Lightning.

+PeerSwap enables Lightning Network nodes to balance their channels by facilitating atomic swaps with direct peers. PeerSwap enhances decentralization of the Lightning Network by enabling all nodes to be their own swap provider. No centralized coordinator, no 3rd party rent collector, and lowest cost channel balancing means small nodes can better compete with large nodes.
