Building Applications for "Can't Be Evil: Part 3" Contest Hack Day

Time to build applications that #cantbeevil!

Blockstack and Union Square Ventures will be co-hosting a hack day on November 15th to give you the support you need to build your app.

By developing an app that #cantbeevil, you will be putting users in control of their data, and supporting privacy and digital rights. Plus, you'll be eligible to win up to $15,000 in cash and other additional prizes.

See contest details at https://blockstack-evil3.devpost.com/

NOTE that this is not a hackathon in the traditional sense. You are encouraged to get a head start on your app before coming to the session, and you're allowed to keep working on it afterward!

Our priority is to support you by giving you space and resources (i.e. Blockstack Engineering Partners) needed to build an application that you're proud to submit (that can rep NYC) and has a good chance of winning!

We strongly recommend you complete the introductory ("Zero-to-Dapp") tutorial at https://docs.blockstack.org/develop/zero_to_dapp_1.html before coming to the session.
