Hack Coin London

The aim of HackCoin is to catalyse investment into the digital currency startup community during the Hackathon event and beyond (prizes are focused on helping to fund ideas).

We welcome developers to come and test out their most creative ideas for this month’s theme.

EVENT THEME

“Identity and the blockchain”

One of the most complex issues to date in the blockchain sphere. Some use case to reflect on include:

• Reduce fraud and increase trust (proving identity)

• Reduce friction and drive efficiencies (registration, single login and payments)

• Enable customer to control their data (consent and permissions)

• The ability to prove identity with alternative data sources i.e. if someone doesn’t have a driver’s license or passport.
• Identity creation on the blockchain
