Why would you award a US dollar amount of bitcoin? The point is to adopt bitcoin as it's own entity. Awards should be 10, 5, and 3 bitcoin. Or if you like big numbers call it 10 million satoshi, 5 million satoshi, 3 million satoshi ?

#32Hey all, I'm a student who is looking to join a team for the [BitHack Hackathon]( http://bithackathon.com/ ) - are any groups out there looking for someone to help with team coordination, app testing, user experience, etc.? My background is not technical in nature, but I've found that I always find a way to contribute in hackathons. I'm not in it for the money (although that does sound very nice) as much as I am for…

1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshis.
first prize: billion satoshi
second prize: half-billion satoshi
third prize: 300 million satoshi

#38From the rules: > Coinbase must be the sole bitcoin payment method included in the app. So, is it a hackathon to make something cool with bitcoin, or to make something cool with Coinbase? Anything anyone does to make bitcoin bigger, better, and more mainstream, will benefit Coinbase in the long run. So it might be a bit short-sighted to restrict this unless there is a really good reason.
So they put 18k USD on the top 3 applicants that provide their closed source, coinbase only solution? They already got attention worth more than that by having us read the terms and coditions. Why not do something cool and respected. I have no problem with the coinbase API having to be used but the exclusiveness is so anti bitcoin spirit.
