If you mean the Less Wrong group, then we do not have a specific goal as of yet. I was hoping to meet people and get a feel for what lesswrongians might want to do. I would like to do a reading group, possibly with Jaynes’ “Probability Theory: The Logic of Science”, or Pearle’s “Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent systems”. I’d also like to do a basic self help thing akin to the New York group. Davorak and I have tossed around other ideas:
Paranoid debating
MIT course in street fighting mathematics
Stanford course on the biological basis of behavior
Board games
Your bitcoin rig would definitely be interesting. We have a 96 Blade computational cluster (mostly working), and have been looking for something to stress it—BitCoin has been tossed around a lot. It certainly would be interesting. We’re not sure if we could operate it profitably, but someone who has had experience with it would definitely have people listening.
Thanks for the info, I’m looking forward to coming down tomorrow. Is there a point of contact I can call if I get lost or something? (PM me if necessary.)
If you can come, we’ll be happy to have you.
As for what our group does, if you mean the Hackerspace, the website is at :

Revised: 96 Blades in the hackerspace right now, another 500ish in storage.
