The Berlin, Texas Hackathon

2014 is the year bringing us the next wave of free and decentralised systems in form of application-layers on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, opening the door to the next-generation financial and economic system.

This economic system is developed not by governments, banks or corporations but by people for people. Community hackathons have always been catalyst events, driving the development of Bitcoin further. So will the Hackathon organised by the Texan Bitcoin Conference, giving out more than 1 Mio USD in rewards for the participants.

In order to recruit contestants from the brilliant Berlin crypto-scene (or elsewhere) and allow them to join the Texan challenge the Berlin Bitcoin community is organising a pre-hackathon in Berlin, whose winners will be rewarded the trip to Texas, so they can bring some of that money and glory home.

The Berlin, Texas Hackathon will take place from February 21st to February 23nd in Berlin and we invite anyone to join, brainstorm, develop and share ideas, hack code, hack code and hack code. Or just hack, hack and hack. Anything you want.

The event will take place on the infamous c-base space station in Berlin Mitte. We'll start on Friday night around 7 pm and hack for 40 hours. Final demos will be held on Sunday afternoon. We'll then move down to room77 and the Bitcoinkiez for a final party. Hackers gotta party, after all.

Food and drinks will be provided throughout the whole meeting. This is a non-smoking event and sleeping zones are not provided, unless you decide to use yor keyboard as a cushion.

And last but not least, we'd like to thank our sponsor UFOstart. After all, they'll pay for the flights to send y'all to Texas.

To blockchain eternity!
