When you try to bring yourself into the role of a geek, you will be willing to create, to find someone to create together, you do not need to clearly understand which direction to go, do not have to know where this road leads, only need Find a problem and focus on it.

The value of the Hackathon is that it contributes to the resolution of substantive issues and inspires new creations. In the 36-hour “fourth industrial revolution Hackathon” by DoraHacks, I deeply realized this.
I am also pleased to see that there are more and more companies like Weizhong Bank that are exploring ways to diversify and encourage open source contributions, giving young people the opportunity to use their power and resources to help them Explore before.
In DoraHacks’ fourth industrial revolution, Hackathon, two award-winning teams at the Weizhong Bank Blockchain stage first met Hackathon, and they used the most real work experience to perfectly explain the spirit and value of Hackathon.

The inspiration of geeks is not out of thin air, and the demand often stems from everyday life
For Huang Dejun of the Kaisi team, this Hackathon was an unexpected surprise. “We didn’t think about what to do when we came to Hackathon this time, so we want to use this opportunity to know what the industry needs and what we can do.”
Huang Dejun and his other two partners saw the news that “Weizhong Bank held the blockchain Hackathon and made a game around the bottom of FISCO BCOS”, and it was a hit. “We went early on the day of the game, because we didn’t know what we could do, so let’s get to know the demand early. At that time, we talked with the expert tutor about the idea of making a tool kit. The more we chat, the more we can go in this direction. Finally, we Finalize the main line of development, to create better tools for developers, and to focus more on the writing of smart contracts, rather than care about the construction and deployment of the environment.”
The bottom layer of FISCO BCOS mainly supports Java and Python languages. Combining with the experience of being an application developer, the team thinks that this aspect can be optimized. So they plan to develop a support for NodeJS, GolAng’s development kit integrates the environment deployment, contract compilation, functional testing, and performance testing of the chain to simplify the process in the form of scripts. “This process was done manually before. It takes at least half an hour to test an interface, but now it can be tested in 2 minutes with this development kit.”
The Enthus team uses development tools to serve more developers and build a wheel to make more wheels possible. From the perspective of demand, the “Great White Shark Team” starts from a practical business scenario and breaks through the challenges of each link.

The Great White Shark team focuses on the daily trading volume of 4 billion (RMB) in the steel trading industry. The transaction volume is so large, there are many trading participants, involving buyers, sellers, warehousing, logistics and users, but the transaction method is still full of risks. The parties to the transaction do not even sign the contract, and they are completely trading by trust. To solve the problem of risk loopholes, inefficiency and information asymmetry in this process, the Great White Shark team proposed a comprehensive solution based on blockchain technology to solve multi-party information sharing, identity confirmation, quotation information confirmation and evidence in the steel trade industry. Save, transaction tracking and other issues.
“We believe that projects are demand-driven, providing solutions for demand in various industries, such as the trading pain points of the steel industry, and believe that they have the ability to do this.” Li Yuran, CTO of the Great White Shark team said.

Backward Forces of the Chinese Geek World
The global geek organization DoraHacks hosted the Hackathon event in various parts of the world. According to their observations, compared with the Western open source culture, Chinese geeksMore need to be promoted by some large backup forces. What is gratifying is that in recent years, more and more companies have gradually joined the support force, gathering various resources to build the bottom layer for applications, and providing experimental fields for more free innovation.
In 2017, Weizhong Bank and Financial Blockchain Cooperation Alliance (Shenzhen) (referred to as “Golden Chain Alliance”) jointly launched FISCO BCOS, the underlying platform of the blockchain, and fully open sourced. The platform has the advantages of high performance, security and control, and rich functions, providing a reliable infrastructure for the development of blockchain applications.
Compared with the fact that many developers have developed DApp on a chain and are still unfamiliar with the chain (not even know why they are developing on this chain), FISCO BCOS Hacker is already an open source community. The “old driver”.
Several members of the Enthus team were active in the FISCO BCOS open source community before attending this Hackathon. “The FISCO BCOS team is very good at blockchain technology. The open source information is comprehensive, not just this Hackathon. The support, their feedback on the technical community is also very timely, we are faced with application development issues, will be willing to seek help inside. FISCO BCOS team is what I have seen in the developer support is done very well.”
Amazingly, the emphasis and support of the Hacker Bank and the FISCO BCOS open source community for Hacker did not stop with the end of the event. In order to encourage the contestants to better improve the project after the game, Weizhong Bank set up the post-game update awards to support the contestants to further optimize or update the entries after the game. The FISCO BCOS open source community also actively accepts the code contributed by the contestants and creates a warehouse on github. All contestants are welcome to open their ideas and achievements to more geeks.
“This is not a pure Hackathon game. I hope that the development kit we contribute can become an official development kit and serve more developers.” The team believes that the meaning of open source lies in the more people pay attention, the more people go Use it to make more things and make more wheels.

Open source fun
At the end of the conversation, I usually ask Hacker a question. “What do you think is the biggest help for Hackathon to you?” The most answered answer is such as: met a like-minded partner, and learned something from the big cow, experience The cohesive force of the teamwork, the achievement of a thing from 0 to 1 in 36 hours, and so on.
“I feel that I have realized the fun of open source.” Huang Dejun said with a smile. “I haven’t experienced it, I can’t feel this kind of fun. I can’t turn my ideas into reality in a short time when I go to work.”
“After the second night, our kits were almost done, and the basic tool kit was sent to the game technical support group. At that time, the group just had application development and tried our tools. Some problems have arisen in the process. Our team is responsible for the framework of the small partners to climb up to solve the problem at 4 o’clock.” When it comes to this small detail, Huang Dejun’s words are full of pride.
The spirit of this geek can actually be a part of everyone’s life. When you try to bring yourself into the role of a geek, you will be willing to create, to find someone to create together, you do not need to clearly understand which direction to go, do not have to know where this road leads, only need Find a problem and focus on it. May the geek spirit be eternal, open source and eternal life.
