I am curious who is sponsoring them, it looks like an interesting project.
I didn't see any sponsors on their website, but there are some logos in their promotional material. As far as I remember they had Augur, the Ethereum based prediction market on there. Also, Jack, Augur's founder is on the judge list.
Also Joe from Consensys is on the judge list. I think they may be sponsoring the event too.
Now this, if done right, could accelerate the blockchain ecosystem. Some of the ideas mentioned in the article will be great if they make it to fruition - peer to peer insurance and a global water ledger!
What's a good one? I don't really feel like reading 170 of them ;/
I just went to their 'ideas' page - they actually have 175, I only read the first few and 2 looked very promising: Journalism trust system & Peacemaker Unated Nations 2.0
Cool stuff. I'll keep my eye on them
Interesting, it's not Blockchain specific, but the article seems to be pushing the crypto scene.
I think the case here is for a Blockchain company trying to break out of the cryptocurrency chains.
