Comment on More of a Disruptive Virtual Accelerator Than a Hackathon with $50k Grand Prize

Comments

I think we need more blockchain application that getting down to reality. It looks like the online hackathon going to the right way.

Alex Shelkovnikov, corporate venturing and blockchain lead at Deloitte, and Meni Rosenfeld, founder of Cluster, a hub for disruptive technologies, will both join Lubin on the panel of judges. Each judge will have a portion of votes to award to the camps they favour.

This is why taking part could be more important than 'winning'- If I'm trying to create a peer to peer application, which after all is part of the promise of Blockchain tech, than Jaan Tallinn is a pretty important guy to be aware of your team...

"Jaan Tallinn is an Estonian programmer widely celebrated for writing the peer-to-peer engines of Kazaa and Skype."
