Build something real. Find collaborators, choose a challenge, ship your project, and put it in front of the bitcoin++ community.
Everything you need to enter, build, and submit without hunting through the conference site.
Bring collaborators or add teammates from their bitcoin++ profiles. One person belongs to one project team.
Enter the open competition, then opt into any sponsor challenges your project qualifies for.
Add your pitch, team, repository, demo, and supporting links before submissions close.
