Texas Bitcoin Conference + 1 million dollar Hackathon + Bitcoin Concert

[AlanX]

The Texas Bitcoin Conference on March 5-6 *

This thing kicks off with a Bitcoin 2.0 Hackathon** with a Million Dollars worth of prizes and contracts.  The prizes will all be in various cryptocurrencies, and most of the money will be awarded in contracts to produce new distributed autonomous applications in the real world.  30 straight hours of red bull enhanced progress

The Conference itself has nearly 80 speakers***, with nearly all the biggest names in the space.  

Bitcoin as a Force for Good:  A charity luncheon (separate ticket required) with all bitcoin going to Bitcoin accepting charities. A Bitcoin charity panel.  And Jason King takes a pitstop from his Bitcoin Across America**** run from Miami to San Francisco to talk to the conference about the homeless.

Last, the BitCoinCert*****, the first Bitcoin Only Concert.  Great music, Bitcoin required.

I'm really looking forward to this. It seems like the Texas Bitcoin Conference will be at least as big as the Vegas and San Jose events!

Like any l33t hax0r would show up for a million bucks when they can just h4x0r all the cash they want.

Is anyone travelling to/through Central Arkansas to the conference? I'd love to go but I really don't want to pay $126 to Greyhound just to get there. I'd rather pay $75 or $80 to someone for gas both ways. Please pm me if you are going through Central Arkansas and you have a spare seat in your car!
