03:16:45 <br-m> <ajs_:matrix.org> For the record, the defcon equipment we purchased years ago was used multiple times (think x3 iirc) before our stuff was actioned off in an episode of storage wars
03:18:20 <br-m> <ajs_:matrix.org> For MoneroKon equipment we still have stuff we’ve reused since Lisbon
03:21:32 <br-m> <ajs_:matrix.org> Thanks to the efforts MK5 team, we have a better inventory and equipment be made available for use to other community approved events in Europe
03:31:18 <br-m> <ajs_:matrix.org> On event financing, MK has been able to breakeven the last few events because we sold tickets and had corporate sponsorships
03:33:52 <br-m> <ajs_:matrix.org> Of note, CDC doesn’t sale tickets (as they are a cluster within C3) and there is a ban on overt advertising, so gain corporate backing would be difficult for them
05:23:08 <br-m> <diego:cypherstack.com> @ajs_:matrix.org: One step worse actually, we all have to buy tickets to get in. So it's money going the other way.
