I want to open 'The Mine'

A new place for Crypto-culture!

The main crypto-lounge here and offices.

I can do more with the larger space.

I actually want to use these two bays as a blackbox theatre. I am going to call this part The Mine Crypto-Lounge & Scene Shop. I have plans that involve technology and fabrication as well as entertainment. There will be several businesses here if I can get the lease.

Here it sits, empty. silent.

Driving back into town I snapped this photo at the red light.

Alternative locations for "The Mine" Crypto-Lounge

If I am willing to do this step by step I could rent the following space for $5k CAD for 6 months and start promoting Bitcoin here.

I want to have an ATM for buying and selling, and 'sell' paper wallets. I love the idea of everything being free but I need to make enough for the business to pay for itself. People buy lottery tickets all the time, but would they buy Bitcoin at a Kiosk?

I could refer new adopters to the Cryptoversity

by Chris Coney @marketingmonk and I think he said he would pay in Litecoin.

Cryptoversity Is The Online School That Pays You To Learn About Bitcoin, Crypto-currencies and Blockchains

It will probably have a stage and a nice open space with whiteboards. Couches would make it a comfortable space with plenty of power outlets. We would provide Wifi for members and help onboard new Bitcoin users. I can put on events, but if I do anything with Food or Beverages in the mall it complicates things. I might just sell branded bottled water.

What kind of retail products should I offer?

I will accept Bitcoin and Steem for payments!

I need a server, what would you suggest?

Looking at this, but a friend suggested something new today.

Asus TS500

TS500-E8-PS4 is the mainstream Tower server perfectly built for both workstation and server dual use. It features the latest Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 product families, 8 DIMMs, six expansion slots, three 5.25” media bays and single 500W 80 PLUS Bronze power supply. Additionally, as other E8 series server, TS500-E8-PS4 equips the premium components offering up to 94% VR efficiency as well as the complete remote management solution. With the extreme computing power and flexible expandability, TS500-E8-PS4 is perfect for growing business applications and individual workstation users.

I am open to ideas and would very much appreciate lots of input.
