It’s time to announce more exciting details about our upcoming CoinParty2020 hackathon!
After that smooth and silky upgrade we just had, we’ve got the wind on our backs. So let’s use this momentum in the community to get as many amazing projects built on Bitcoin Cash as we can!
Let’s Go Over The Juicy Details
The hackathon will kick-off on Wednesday December 2nd with a virtual opening ceremony. We hope you all join in with the celebrations. There will be time from now until then to start bouncing around ideas and build strong teams. This will give you plenty of time so you are ready to put rubber to the road when we get started. On December 9th, the judges will be going over all the project presentations and will then decide which teams get which prizes. Go check out the CoinParty.org to see all the big prizes that you can win by entering!
We also have a very unique community prize which we will be announcing the exact details of tomorrow, so make sure you keep an eye out!
Awesome People
We now have our full set of talented Judges, technical advisors and hosts for the event. They are all long-time Bitcoin Cash supporters who have done endless amounts to drive our ecosystem forward. We are extremely proud to be supported by such a great bunch of people! Thank you all for providing support to this exciting event!
You see all who these awesome people are at coinparty.org/#people
Great Partners
We have partnered with General Protocols and Satoshi's Angels to provide the hackathon teams with the technical support and resources they need to create and promote top-notch products and services. A big thank you to them both for their support.
For any other BCH-friendly companies or organisations out there that want to support this event, just get in touch with us asap.
Flipstarterlicious
Tomorrow we will also be launching a Flipstarter to expand the prize pool for our hackers. Because all the admin costs and a good sized prize pool has already been provided by BU, the hackathon will go ahead regardless, but this prize pool will be used to make the prize pot even more enticing for people to come and build on Bitcoin Cash.
Part of the funding will also go towards providing a small bursary to each team that completes the hackathon. A lot of people can be put off by the risk of spending a week of hard work without anything to show for it at the end, so this small bursary will go towards showing appreciation to all the teams.To see the exact details of the Flipstarter campaign you will have to wait a little bit longer. It will be worth the wait, we promise!
