Hey!

A hackathon is coming up, and I was wondering what I should build.

I want it to be something open source so that everyone can benefit from it.

Please let me know if you have some ideas you would like implemented!

Thanks.

Here are a couple for you:

Ratings system similar to ebay:
http://www.coindesk.com/bonafide-raises-850k-build-reputation-system-bitcoin/

And if it's not done well yet, maybe peer to peer lending combined with peer to peer ratings.

Fractionalize you're Bitcoin all you want, but it's 100% your risk if the borrower doesn't pay back.

How about the much speculated bitcoin voting system ?

YYYYEEESSSSS! This could come in handy right now with the FORK debate being presented today:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-20mb-fork-941331

Maybe even allow people to "weight" their own votes based on others' votes? Okay, so that v.2

Sorry, what is this voting system?

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

Here's an idea about a Family Bitcoin Wallet https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9182945

Still dont have an open source idea that I can work on.

I have some ideas at jnxt.org, I write for nxt but some could be useful on bitcoin. Something like network visualization, transaction notification, or something else.

Is this for the Texas Bitcoin Conference coming up here where the hackathon's prize is $1 million? Or, what is going on here? OP hasn't made it clear yet.

No, its for this: http://www.hshacks.com/

Try the reverse of BitPay, i.e. accept FIAT and Pay in Bitcoin. It would be very handy for merchants across the globe.

That's a very great idea... but I think it will be very difficult to make it due to the "volatility of the bitcoin price".

There is also the issue of chargebacks.

Hmmm... yeah you're right. It will be "impossible" to make it...

There is an opportunity behind every difficulty...

Ripple has tried it. Coinbase has partially done it.

Which company do you work for?

Or is this a hackathon among friends?

Knowing who's conducting the hackathon helps me determine what solution might be deemed most inspirational by them...

Its a high school students only hackathon done at the paypal headquarters. (Note: Paypal is not actually going to judge, it will be judged by volunteers).

Full list of sponsors. https://i.imgur.com/aCKXMIM.png

I cant really make that open source though.

Open source or closed... this will be a killer app.

I agree, but for this hackathon, I want to make something open.
