1st Linnia // ConsenSys // Hackathon!

Rejoice! The purpose of this group is to develop the skills necessary to become a blockchain and Dapp developer and finally help bring this decentralized future into reality. The end goal will be to develop the ability to create new forms of Dapps, services and protocols that will improve our lives. A side effect of this journey will be to learn how to learn new ideas.We accept any and all who wish to be learn about blockchains and ethereum. The more experience the better, but eagerness to learn, make mistakes and experiment is most appreciated.We value the use of technology to support the ideals of free inquiry, free thoughts, and free people. If this appeals to you, join!In the spirit of communal love, if you RSVP, please show up or update your RSVP accordingly. This gives the opportunity for another to show up.

What is this you ask? Linnia Protocol (part of ConsenSys) will be hosting their hackathon! Are you interested in building new types of applications on top of a blockchain? Want to see what the hype is about? Are you interested in cryptocurrencies, Distributed apps and meeting like minded people?Then you are the ideal candidate to join this hackathon! See: <A CLASS="link" HREF="https://github.com/ConsenSys/linnia-resources" TARGET="__blank" TITLE="https://github.com/ConsenSys/linnia-resources" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/ConsenSys/linnia-resources</A> <A CLASS="link" HREF="https://linnia.com/" TARGET="__blank" TITLE="https://linnia.com" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://linnia.com</A> Why should I care? Decentralization mean more power over your data, the ability to retain your privacy, true freedom of expression, and greater competition for startups. It means refuting the idea that in order to have any technological progress we must give up our privacy, lower our security, and forgo control. It means: New possibilities for a new generation of web developers, New business models for businesses More choices for users. Love Surveillance capitalism? Cool, AdTech is around. Would like some sort of alternative? Come on by and join us. Freedom and control is easier now more than ever using the Linnia protocol. What is Linnia? The Linnia Protocol enables users to own and control their data. The protocol flips the script on the current model of the internet where centralized servers own and control your data, limiting the new services and applications that can be created. Using the Linnia.js library you are able to create applications that leverage decentralized data solutions, all without learning a new programming language like Solidity. What will you do? You'll use the Linnia-box or Linnia.js library to create a web app that can leverages Ethereum, IPFS, and other tools to easily create decentralized data with encryption. This opens the door to applications that can use sensitive data that otherwise would not be available. What will I build? Whatever you want. The only requirement is that it uses Linnia.js or the Linnia-box (a create react app starter kit). Developers get the advantage of being able to mix and match new forms of data and thus creating new types of app, say in the healthcare sector where privacy is essential. No need to know much about the Blockchain, Solidity, or Ethereum. How will you do it? Hack together your app using our Linnia.js library that does all the heavy lifting for you. Or use our Linnia-box, a React App preloaded with our Linnia.js library and our Linnia Smart Contracts all in one convenient package. Where? At Bushwick Generator in the world renowned hip neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Here you will find plenty of iron and irony. How long will it take? 2 days. What's in it for me? You will find: a community of like-minded people, building something that you’d love to show off on your resume, learn about new technologies in the Web 3.0 space. Also, food, swag, prizes and mentorship from developers at ConsenSys! Whats the food situation looking like? It won’t be just Pizza guys and gals. Unless you like Roberta’s or RubiRosa’s. Delicious food will be served! Can I bring my crew to work with? Yup!
