Title: What should I build for my next Hackathon? Post by: nahtnam on February 01, 2015, 09:26:49 PM Hey!
A hackathon is coming up, and I was wondering what I should build. I want it to be something open source so that everyone can benefit from it. Please let me know if you have some ideas you would like implemented! Thanks. Title: Re: What should I build for my next Hackathon? Post by: nahtnam on February 02, 2015, 06:05:53 PM I was thinking of making a blockchain style web hosting system where the source code of the site is distributed to all of the nodes, but I think its too complicated to make in 24 hours.

Try the reverse of BitPay, i.e. accept FIAT and Pay in Bitcoin. It would be very handy for merchants across the globe. Title: Re: What should I build for my next Hackathon?

Or is this a hackathon among friends? Knowing who's conducting the hackathon helps me determine what solution might be deemed most inspirational by them...

Here are a couple for you: Ratings system similar to ebay: http://www.coindesk.com/bonafide-raises-850k-build-reputation-system-bitcoin/ And if it's not done well yet, maybe peer to peer lending combined with peer to peer ratings.
