The Bitcoin SV Developers Hackathon: 3 Companies Win Direct Investment

It is always hard with any contest-based investment not to lapse into cliché and talk of ‘incredible standards’, ‘amazing talent’ and, of course, ‘really tough decisions’ but what can be said for certain is the Bitcoin SV (BSV) chain’s ‘set in stone’ protocol has had the desired effect, namely; attracting swathes of highly-sophisticated developers to build solutions on top of the existing protocol, safe in the knowledge that the underlying ‘plumbing’ will never be changed.

Held last week in Toronto at The CoinGeek Conference, and sold out at 150 developer-specific places, the hackathon judges have voted and the winners of the Bitcoin Association‘s first ever Bitcoin SV hackathon are as follows:

1st place with a prize of 250 BSV – UptimeSV
2nd place with a prize of 100 BSV – TonicPow
3rd Place with a prize of 50 BSV- PolyGlot

Polyglot was developed by a New Zealand-based developer is Hayden Joshua Donnelly, operating under username “AustEcon.”
