This last weekend in Austin Texas the #SATSx Hackathon took place in the new Bitcoin Commons. 30 Bitcoin Developers from around the nation came together to participate in the first Pleblab hosted Hackathon.
The event kicked off with an open statement from Pleblab CEO Kyle Murphy. Next Ben Carman, Super Testnet and Tony led a discussion about some of the type of projects that they wanted to see over the weekend. Then our very own Paul Miller gave a rundown over the Lightning infrastructure that we were able to supply for the event. To conclude Lisa Neigut from Blockstream and Base58 led an educational session for all of the attendees.
Day 2 started a bit slow as many teams stayed up until late night and early morning. The hackathon continued until 4pm when teams started presenting.
