The #SATSx Hackathon launched at the Bitcoin Commons this morning with 30 talented Bitcoin developers from around the country gathering to participate in Pleb Lab's first Bitcoin Hackathon. The Bens were there bringing the love (and donuts) for everyone, and it was great to see the band back together. SXSW brings in the best from all over the world, and we heard that some Plebs even had a steak dinner Friday night after PBS for the Atlanta Bitdevs team, extending our Austin, Texas hospitality.
Off to @SATSxSW hackathon today. Gonna put a bounty on some @OpenSats work if anyone is interested in hacking for a good cause to help open source contributors.Also, @thebtcco gonna sponsor the shit out of these killer hackers with some donuts and maybe a few more prizes l. pic.twitter.com/vhTqjbJzN9— abitcoinperson (@abitcoinperson) March 12, 2022

We started off the day with an opening statement from Kyle Murphy (CEO of Pleb Lab), right before he kicked off the inaugural event. Next, Ben Carman, Super Testnet, and Tony began the discussion by going over some of the projects that they wanted to see be created over the weekend. Afterwards, Paul Miller of Voltage went over the amazing infrastructure services that they provided for the #SATSx Hackathon. Lastly, Lisa Neigut, a Lightning Protocol Engineer for Blockstream and of bitcoin protocol school Base58, finished off the mornings education portion. After the final introductions and announcements, the Hackathon was able to begin in earnest. As always, Thriller Bitcoin was there to report for the larger bitcoin community. Here are some fine quotes from he first day of the competition.
