Hackcoin is a congregation of talented individuals, and industry experts under one roof over 2 days to build on the technology of the future. The aim is to tap into and develop new technologies on existing APIs, and build solutions to existing problems. The aim of HackCoin is to catalyse investment into the digital currency startup community during the Hackathon weekend and beyond (prizes are focused on helping to fund ideas). We welcome hackers and developers to come and test out their most creative ideas in cryptocurrency fintech using any digital currency that they choose.

More than that, the event will be the first blockchain hackathon. The possible applications are far wider than digital currency, what can you achieve with blockchain technology beyond fintech? Transferring real property, gaming, immutable and transparent records, and anything else you can imagine are fair game. Paying for dog walkers with Dogecoin, a lottery app that pays out in LuckyCoin, a site for funding movies in Bitcoin? We look forward to seeing your creative hacks.
