Another piece of fun advice: Laptop thefts happen with some regularity at tech conferences ... at a Bitcoin conference if the thieves don't STEAL ALL THE LAPTOPS, they're sleeping on the job.

Prepare for theft by having a good backup and either not leaving coins on your laptop or at least using full disk encryption and wallet encryption. Be prepared to keep your laptop with you at all times. Consider bringing a lock for it.

Let's hope Marriott and the rest of the major hotels are done changing all the guest room locks:

1. Gut the insides out of a broken laptop.
2. Put a Wi-Fi Raspberry Pi, GPS, and a g-sensor in it, so you know if it gets moved, and how far.
3. Fill the rest of the empty space in the case with explosives.
4. Wait until you see that your laptop has been stolen and is still on the move.
5. Huh

6. Profit?

Haha, now you can be sure there will be feds all over the conference.

That's OK - that's what they're supposed to be for: to keep us safe.

Although I'm sure they think that fucking with us endlessly and making our lives a hell on earth is just a bonus.
