The Challenge of this Hackathon:

The goal of this hackathon is to build Bitcoin City — a fun and interactive visualization of live Bitcoin transactions on both the blockchain and Lightning Network. Think of it as a friendly and easy-to-understand tool, designed to help Bitcoiners, educators, and curious learners all over the world explore how Bitcoin works in real-time.

It’s not just about coding; it’s about making Bitcoin education fun, clear, and accessible for everyone. Think of it like www.mempool.space, but simpler, more colorful, and more relatable!

End goal of the Bitcoin Hackathon:

By the end of the 2 weeks hackathon (on the 24th of January), your group should present a fully functional and deployed website that meets the following requirements:

1. Make a Game plan: Get together in your team, create a concept, organize yourself, and distribute responsibilities.

2. Set Up a Server: Ensure your application is hosted and accessible.

3. Secure a Domain: Use a memorable domain to make your site easy to find.

4. Fork the Repository: Build your version of Bitcoin City by forking this repository and adapting it to be Bitcoin-only.

5. Add Lightning Network Visualization: Include a fun and interactive representation of Lightning transactions (these can be simulated, not live).

6. Enable Split-Screen Mode: Make it possible to view Bitcoin and Lightning transactions side-by-side.

7. Integrate your own Lightning Transaction feature: For example:
– A QR code where someone can send sats, and their transaction triggers a visual representation (e.g., a character or object appears on the screen linked to the transaction).
– A QR code where users can send sats to display a global message in real-time.
– A faucet feature allowing users to claim their first sats for free, with the option to spend them directly on the site.

8. Make It Open-Source: Publish your final project on GitHub for the community to use and improve.
