Let's Show Our Support For The Hive Hack-A-Thon
In this video I discuss the recently announced Hive Hack-A-Thon which is going on for two week. It was announced by @themarkymark the other day. It is something we all can help out with.
If you are a developer, check out the post and get involved.
For those who cannot code, we can show our support by sending a bit of HIVE over to @prizepool. All HIVE raised will be used to pay the winners of the contest.
Here is the post laying out the details of the project.

Excellent video friend. It is a great idea that we can all come together and do our bit. Hopefully you can raise enough HIVE and thus give the winner a good incentive. Keep it up my friend, many successes and blessings.
nailed it. ;-)
Thanks for the idea @ew-and-patterns.
Even sent 250 HIVE over to help out.
I will put up a written post about it.
Hopefully more join the effort.
