Frequently Asked Questions

No, idea creation and team formation will be done on-site on the Friday.
Only the best ideas will participate. That means if your idea does not get enough votes on the Friday, you will have to join another team. Why? We don't have enough time for more than 15 pitches on the Sunday.
You! By default, each coder owns her lines of code, that's copyright. We will encourage you to put your work in GPL, MIT, CC or other open source licenses, but that's your call.

Any! There are APIs to make it simple for you to interact with blockchains without having to learn the core code itself.
