Community Update #10
Hello, NuCypher community — we’re very thankful for your ongoing support! The team had a great second half of August capping it off with IACR CRYPTO 2018 and a team homecoming in Malaga, Spain. We kicked off our big developer roadshow, starting with ETHIndia (recap below). Up next is Berlin for Blockchain Week in early September. We hope to meet many of you along the way!

ETHIndia
Michael and Bogdan travelled to Bangalore for the next stop in the ETHGlobal hackathon tour. It was a pleasure to meet with the #buidler community in India — there’s lots of excitement on the ground and it was amazing to see the quality of the projects produced.
Congratulations to team Reacton and team Web 3 Hackers, the winning teams of the NuCypher hackathon prize. Created by Ronak Doshi, Rohan Verma, and Ayush Shukla, Whistle is a platform to empower whistleblowers and those who live in constant fear for their physical safety.
Web 3 Hackers built Project Buterin, a practice and competition platform where hackers can submit solutions for bounty problems, which leverages NuCypher to conditionally reveal smart contract code only to those who should see it and at the appropriate time.
