Friends, Lightning bolters, denizens of the internet, lend me your ears! I’m proud to introduce to you Bolt-A-Thon: The world’s first virtual LightningNetwork conference and hackathon. Winners of the hackathon will win the following prizes:
1st place = 0.3 BTC, 2nd = 0.2 BTC, 3rd = 0.1 BTC. Blockstack is also offering an additional
$1000 bounty for the best project utilizing their platform.
SpeakersWe’re also featuring fantastic workshops from people like Rusty Russell, Alex Bosworth, Pierre Rochard, Rockstar Dev, and Lightning Koala. Even if you are not a developer, there are sessions that non-coders would gain a lot from. For example, Pierre will be showing people how to launch their own Lightning node. So you could try and follow along from the comfort of your own home! Another great talk for all Bitcoiners will be Alex Bosworth's sobering discussion about the limitations of the Lightning Network.
PaymentsWe are only receiving payments in Lightning Bitcoin. Don't have a Lightning node? Don't worry! You can submarine swap on-chain Bitcoin or Litecoin payments into Lightning Bitcoin.
Prices- Hackathon: We require a 100 satoshi "proof of node" payment to register.
- Conference: Each speaker session will be $10. We will be hosting 10 speakers. This is a far cry from other conferences where you have to pay $399 PLUS housing and travel. And the best part is, you can attend anonymously!
