While cleaning up after the Scaling Bitcoin workshops in Hong Kong on Monday, Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong co-founder Leonhard Weese had the forethought to save the podium’s logo from the trash. His idea was that we could collect signatures of workshop attendees and staff and create a token of the event to be passed down in the Hong Kong Bitcoin community.

First, we marked the block with the most recently mined Bitcoin block number before asking local members of the organizing team who working hard to clean up the venue to sign the block. Next, we took the block to the closing reception at Cyberport’s The Podium and took turns carrying it around and asking workshop attendees to sign.
