Over the weekend from 1/19-1/20 a whole bunch of Bitcoin enthusiasts stayed up coding and presenting their submissions for the 5th annual Miami Bitcoin Hackathon. This was our 4th time competing in the hackathon, and we won first place! Our team was made up of Bernardo Garciarivas, a developer at Florida software shop SetOcean, and Evan Martinez, a Boston local returning to defend his 1st place title from last year.
We love bitcoin because when you own it, it's yours and you can do with it whatever you please. We have some of the same needs, like sending and receiving bitcoin, and most wallets today only serve those functions. But one of the side-effects of that freedom is that everybody uses their bitcoin differently. WiNode (pronounced We Node) was built for customization. WiNode is an all in one bitcoin/lightning node with a customizable GUI dashboard, so you can work with your crypto on your terms. Your Platform. Your Tools. Your Money.
For those unfamiliar with what a hackathon is, it's an event where developers, designers, and everyone in between try to build a project in 24 hours. We put an incredible amount of effort into this project, and neither of us slept from when the competition started at 9:30 AM on Saturday, to code freeze at 11 AM on Sunday. We're proud of what we were able to accomplish, and are now working towards building it out as a real venture. Ask us anything, and if you're interested in helping out, feel free to DM!
