HackCoin: Hackathon to explore uses of bitcoin tech to build apps in payments, big data, digital experience

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/hackcoin-hackathon-to-explore-uses-of-bitcoin-tech-to-build-apps-in-payments-big-data-digital-experience/articleshow/48274420.cms

 Over 100 developers will gather at the Bombay Stock Exchange building this weekend for 'Hack-Coin'— a two-day hackathon organized by Zone Startups India, BitStreet and Block Chain University.

Unlike in other hackathonsA, the participants will work on the rarely-used blockchain— the technology behind bitcoin—to build new applications with use cases in three spaces: payments, big data and digital experience.

This is the first time I am hearing about the event. Was this planned months back or was it something immediate ? Would have loved to attend it if I knew about it from before.

Thanks, did manage to find the link before, just that hadn't heard about it until today, and couldn't  find any pre-event announcement before yesterday. Seems similar events also happened in other countries these past few months.

Not sure if any write up is around, but there was a 5hr session detailing the blockchain by Robert and Jeff from blockchain university. Had about 30 people in the room.

Some famous people in the bitcoin community have started a startup called 'BlockChain University'.
They go around the world, offering a paid crash course on bitcoin, which is actually a course on how to use blockchain API etc to build bitcoin 2.0 applications.
After the course they organize a hackathon, so people can build apps based on what they have learned.

Last week they conducted the course at Infosys.
Now the BSE.

The hackathon at BSE is a part of global hackathon that anyone can participate in, this weekend. Physically it is happening in 3 locations around the world - Mumbai, Buenos Aires, San Fransisco - but anyone can participate online by joining their slack channel. Search for it on meetup.com ; it's called "Decentralize All The Things"

Twitter handle is @BlockchainU which has many pics from the Infy hackathon.


Personally, I like this but it is funny to me for various reasons.

"India is the guru of the nations, the physician of the human soul in its profounder maladies; she is destined once more to remould the life of the world and restore the peace of the human spirit.
But Swaraj is the necessary condition of her work and before she can do the work, she must fulfil the condition."

Saw a big camera during the Blockchain Sessions.
Also saw Robert recording a whole bunch of stuff on his phone.
Will mail him and ask if he can share some clips, especially of the pitches.
