Join us this July for two great days where you’ll explore and build the next generation of blockchain design and applications. Calling all Hackers…better yet! MachoHackers! ‍ By now, you have most likely heard one of many descriptions of what Blockchain is, how it is used and the power it holds towards the digital future. The technology provides and enables distributed autonomous marketplaces, reduces friction in business transactions, manages and secures decentralized private records from encryption to tracking the provenance of products and materials. But this is just the tip of the iceberg! It is clear that this will play a huge part of how the digital world will evolve, weaving blockchain technology into the fabric of our daily lives. MachoChallenge Use! - Next generation of universal crypto assets (benefits and differences from other cryptos) - Further pushing for real world commercial acceptance - Flexible, upgradeable infrastructure in traditional to non-traditional usage & acceptance - Shorter, scalable and expandable chain (how to reduce the chain?) - Future of the Financial Sector - Next generation of Miners - New Consensus Algorithms from proof of work to proof of stake We love it when you can challenge us with your digital expertise and prowess; go ahead, show us what you can do! If you are a dreamer who puts ideas into action then we want you to participate in our inaugural Hackathon, MachoHacks! Get ready, set and GO!

DO!Hack is an interdisciplinary hackathon. We not only focus on developers but on designers and electro-technicians, as well. By doing so we hope to get not only the ideas and viewpoints of developers. Of course you don't have to be a designer, developer or electro-technician to be able to apply to DO!Hack. We are open for anyone, who want to participate on exciting event in the very heart of Dortmund. In our opinion hackathons are to learn and to be a part of a team but also to do mistakes in a secured environment. During the event our 50 applicants have 24 hours to develop a project in a team. We will not specify the projects. If you have a good idea you're free to build a team and make your own project. But don't panic if you don't have an idea. Maybe you'll find someone with an idea in which you are interested in or a team you like to work with and brainstorm together. Also, if you run into any problems during the development, we'll have a whole lot of mentors to help you. Apply now: https://portal.dohack.io/account/register
