Cryptohacaton calendar: six directions for the developer (or developers) who just want to code further
And did those of you, the reader who are engaged in crypto-development, notice how stormy was the outgoing spring for various dev-events? Almost every week in Russia and around the world blockchain-hackathons took place. The beginning of April was especially dense, when almost simultaneously passed the hakaton, grandiose in its crowds, for more than 700 participants in the Netherlands Groningen - and the hakaton that distinguished itself already by the size of the prize fund of $ 15,000 in Moscow .
Moscow, Lucerne, Lisbon and Buenos Aires - we light around the world
But the closer to the summer, the fewer events — there would be enough fingers on the hand of my Trudovik to recount events until the end of July. So, we are able to put them in one review.

The organizer of the Melonport Hackathon, held in the Swiss city of Lucerne, is the Melonport broadcasting hedge fund of the same name, so the main theme of the hackathon will be the construction of systems for managing cryptoactive assets. The main prize is 25,000 Swiss francs, which will be paid in the cryptocurrency of the MLN (Melon) fund itself, the current rate of which is ~ $ 63 .
Additional prizes of 2500 francs will be awarded to the winners in the categories UX, Front-end design, Compliance Integrations, Asset Managers and Freestyle. So if you are somewhere in Lucerne in a couple of days, it’s worth a look.

The next hackathon will help many of our readers decide where to go in Moscow . The event with the talking title Proof-Of-Skill will be held May 19–20 in the Co-working Workstation in Gorky Park. The aim of the hackathon is to declare “the search for new areas of use for the blockchain” At the same time, the organizers promise serious tasks, and not just “let's fix the blockchain and see how it flies”, and the decisions of the participants must comply with the principles of Open Source.
Prizes for the first place - 128,000 rubles, for the second - 64,000 rubles, and for the third, as it is easy to guess - 32,000. And someone else will receive 32,000 rubles as a special prize from the main partner of the hackathon - BANKEX Foundation.
Of course, with aNazi gold prize in Lucerne, this hackathon cannot, but most will not have to go that far. If you are coming this weekend in Moscow, without any special plans, but with fresh ideas in your head - why not stop by.

LONDON FINTECH WEEK 2018 , of course, also includes a hackathon from 8 to 10 June. Its theme is quite blurred: projects of social and financial importance. On the prizes, too, there is no specific information, but promises at least ÂŁ 1,000 per team. Organizers expect that from 300 to 500 developers will take part in the hackathon - so the event promises to be large.

In late June - early July, the blockchain conference Chainhack will be held in Lisbon. The hackathon theme is both simple and complex: you need to build your own blockchain. 50 hours is allotted for this, after which the teams present their achievements. According to the organizers of the chains , about 200 people will participate in the event.
The prize for the first place is quite impressive - 15 000 euro. The second and third places will receive 5,000 and 3,000 euros, respectively. Therefore, if you are in Portugal at the appointed time - it is worth a look. Moreover, the next major hackathon announced by blockchain technology will be held only in the fall.

It is likely that during the summer there will be some other events, but now there are not so many of them. So, if you want to participate in the blockchain event - it's time to buy tickets for the plane or travel ticket on the subway (an option for MSK residents) and get ready to go. It is likely that until the end of August, new chances to try yourself as a hacker will no longer turn up.
The timeliness of the announcement of this October event hints that there are no longer “sweet remnants” waiting for their guests, but one of the main events of the autumn is planned. And indeed, against the background of the global women's and prozhensky movement against harassment, #metoo, the cryptoChicks hackathon in the birthplace of the movement, and even in the most liberal city of America, acquires an almost human rights sound. At the conference, which will be held from October 5 to 8, the doors will be open for everyone, and the hackathon itself, which runs in parallel, will be organized only for women developers.
