York City Bitcoin Center Hosted its First Hackathon This Weekend

This past weekend, the newly-established New York City Bitcoin Center held it’s first hackathon event, which was designed to allow participants to improved existing bitcoin-related applications and ways to improve cryptocurrency exchanges.

One of the more noteworthy presentations was on a bitcoin ATM model including a discussion of the hardware and software,” said James Barcia, communications director at the Center.

The 72-hour event went right through the holiday weekend — and that’s not the end of it. The NYC Bitcoin Center is planning to host more of these hackathon events at least once per month.

The New York City bitcoin center, located in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district, holds bitcoin classes on topics like mining, cold storage, and Bitcoin 101. It is designed to serve as an educational tool for those unfamiliar or curious about bitcoin. (via CoinDesk)
