LONDON, Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 8th instalment of the CoinGeek Conference series, themed 'It's About Time' takes place at the Sheraton Hotel, Times Square on October 5-7, to showcase the latest developments on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain. The BSV blockchain can handle almost limitless amounts of data, all immutably stored and at a very low cost and it's about time big business took notice of what BSV technology can do for them.

Returning to the world's financial capital, the 8th CoinGeek Conference will welcome, in person and virtually, a diverse spread of speakers both in terms of area of expertise and geographically. BSV Blockchain is the world's largest public blockchain by all major utility metrics; data storage and daily transaction volume, scaling ability and average block size, recently breaking all records by mining 2GB blocks.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONFERENCE

Day 1 – Tuesday Oct 5th

HACKATHON FINALIST PRESENTATIONS:

  • Judges - Donny Deutsch, TV Personality, Host of CNBC's The Big Idea, Former CEO and Chairman of Deutsch Inc.; Dr Craig Wright, Chief Scientist, nChain; Paul Rajchgod, Managing Director, Private Equity, Ayre Ventures; Steve Shadders, CTO, nChain
  • "Blockchain technology has huge potential to continue to transform the business landscape and create new business models that have never existed before. I'm looking forward to serving on the BSV Hackathon Finalist Judging panel at this year's CoinGeek Conference and evaluating not only what revolutionary projects can be built utilizing the technology, but their saleability, their scalability, and greater potential to disrupt industries."  – Donny Deutsch, Former CEO and Chairman of Deutsch. Inc.
  • Presentations from the BSV Hackathon finalists, who will be judged in 'Shark Tank' style on their ideas. The theme of the Hackathon is Peer-to-peer applications – not just payments, but any type of application that involves direct interaction between participants on the Bitcoin network. Entrants were tasked with leveraging the recently released SPV Channels service as part of their application to facilitate communication across the network, as well as interacting with the Bitcoin network directly via the Merchant API (mAPI).
  • Following the presentations, the judges will participate in a panel discussion on How to Build Real Value with Blockchain Projects
