while going through my morning coffee I decided to do a little research.

BitComp
This fall, every MIT undergrad will receive $100 in Bitcoin
What will you build to inspire your fellow students?

Topic Prizes

    For the final round we will have $1,500 Topic Prizes, which are as follows:
        Improving MIT Award: Application or service with most potential for improving some aspect of student life at MIT
        Engineering Award: Application or service that features impressive engineering or that is effective in demonstrating the capabilities of Bitcoin.
        Evangelism Award: Best application or service for introducing new users to Bitcoin ----------- My guess is that they're going for this one here with 'Intelliapp'
        Next Billion Award: Application or service that best addresses challenges in developing nations
        Awesome Award: Application, service, or project that’s just plain cool, fun, or creative

Facebook group for the competition: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mitbitcomp/ -------- If you remember one of the dev's name, you'll find her as a member in that group.

We already know from the MIT web admin that they started this as a summer project......

About the github: If I were to start a coin, I wouldn't write the basic code from scratch, I'd outsource the 'chassis' and write my proposed innovation on top of that. Excuse my analogy, I don't know the first thing about coding!

Half Empty or Half Full - It is up to you. Me? I'll go for Half Full  Tongue
