It would be nice if the home page gave some clue as to when the event was happening. Eventually found this buried in the faq:

"The event will be starting in November and will run for 5 weeks. The exact date will be published soon."

You're absolutely right. We will soon be updating content on our home page. But for now thank you for posting the correct dates - our event starts November 7th. Hope you'll be joining us.

Usd 50k for the winner sound like I should start working on a team. I really wonder though, how difficult it'll be to find team members online. Or if I have to find them online? Can I register with other members? Where can I get these answers? No where on that page... Anyhow, looks great guys.

I'm not sure TBH. I came across this Hackathon through the Coinscrum Meetup in London last week. I've registered an idea, but never took it as deep as 'how to find a team member'. Maybe something to ask on Twitter, or join their Slack ch and ask around there?

Edit: this is the video I mentioned from Coinscrum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QNlRf3hLco

Hi there, I spoke at the coinscrum Meetup in London last week. I didn't focus on how to build a team as there is so much information to try and get across, and I only had 5 minutes! Please post any proposals into our ideas page, then make sure you sign up to our slack channel - ether.camp on there you will find #find-a-teammember. However I'm usually around and if you have any questions on forming your team please ask. We will be soon launch a set of videos to help clarify how to get the most from this years hackathon. Thanks for interest and support, good luck with your project.

Nice1 Stephrn_T - I know have an idea posted and have joined the Slack. Any help finding team members will be highly appreciated. Again, thanks for this post to make us aware, and thanks for organising the event. Looking forward!

Thanks, Stephen_T I created a proposal about a week ago (after the announcement of Jaan Taallin as a judge). I will join the Slack discussion and am looking forward to #find-a-teammember. Thanks

That's great to hear compil3r - were super excited about getting Jaan Tallinn as a judge I'm glad he's inspired you to join us :) We've been fortunate that most of the judges we've invited to take part have accepted. There's a lot of experience and talent to help mentor the teams so I hope you take advantage of it. Good luck with your project. Thanks for posting the video lamalama

re posting the video, totally my pleasure. it was a great event and i hope to be able to make it to the next (not sure when that is...)

I'm hoping to give another quick presentation at next weeks London Coinscrum - Tuesday 30th. At the same venue. Please come and introduce yourself and I'll buy you a pint :)
