Malta Blockchain L: ottery – Hackathon winnersMBS
Two summits in a month in Malta and you could have been forgiven for imagining that the tourist season was still here. The weather was dirty for two days, but this did not stop the thousands of delegates from going down to the Intercontinental Hotel in San Giuliano en masse for Blockchain summit in Malta. According to unofficial estimates, participation was close to 8,500 marks and it is said that the next year's event (which has already been confirmed) will take place at a much larger venue.
In fact, the only criticism that could be leveled at the summit was that the stands and the exhibition area were too narrow for a correct assessment of the situation. Bars and restaurants were full of beams, but it was great for networking. There is certainly a buzz on Malta now and the island of Blockchain is perhaps no longer a cliché.
One of the highlights of the event was that the legal notice of the VFAA agent finally came into effect. It seems that although one can now apply to Malta for a VFAA license, the process is still far from the need to take other measures, such as an oral examination after sending a declaration of intent.

One aspect that was perhaps slightly in vogue for the summit was the Hackathon, which had a considerable total prize money of 50,000 euros and was held Wednesday, October 31st. The summit kicked off with the announcement of the Hackathon winners who were honored by MBS CEO Eman Pulis.
The winners were selected by an intriguing group of Hackathon judges, including Scott Stornetta, Charles Hoskinson, Ilya Smagin and Lucas Park. Blockchain Charity Lottery won the first prize followed by T-Pass and Tensegrity.
Furthermore, there was a fierce battle for the ICO field with 35 companies presenting their projects. The four winners were: on day 1: Rise & amp; AEToken And day 2: Tatau & amp; GoMama.
I spoke with Stefan Tittel, CEO of Rise, who was understandably very happy to be able to win the ICO roll.
"It was an honor to place before distinguished judges and some of the most influential leaders of the blockchain and the crypt.I think one thing that separates us from others is that we avoid the problem of the egg and the chicken with most of the offers symbolic ".
Tittel added that Rise is already an existing company that generates income and that investment investment technology is used by institutional individuals of high economic value. "The Rise security token is a simple way for us to scale and bring this technology to the masses.", He concluded.
I also managed to take over the COO of Tatau and co-founder Martyn Levy, whose company, involved in large-scale encryption, won the ICO second place. He described the summit as "a 72-hour high-energy dynamic event, packed full of the best minds that industry has to offer".

Levy said that reaching the first place in the ICO launch competition while competing with such promising projects while being judged by a team of experienced investors was both exciting and challenging.
"For us, this was the mark of approval that we knew Tatau deserved, validating our business model and our value proposition, as well as recognizing the fruits of our intense product development work," concluded Levy.
Malta Junior Minister of Digital Economy Silvio SchembriMBS
Other events that took place during the summit included the launch of the Artificial Intelligence Strategy of Malta by the junior minister for financial services Digital Economy and Innovation, Hon. Silvio Schembri. He announced a task force tasked with designing a national strategy on artificial intelligence with the goal of placing Malta among the top 10 nations in the world in the IA.
Malta.ai will work with SingularityNET, the company behind the Sophia IA, on a pilot project to explore a citizenship test for robots in the process of drafting a new regulation for artificial intelligence.
Even John McCaffee, a controversial cryptic evangelist, attended the summit and was the star of the show for a while with a lot of people posing for selfies with him. He said it was an excellent summit by adding that: "In practice I came, so that I could speak, which I did, I want to tell the world, as I see it."
McCaffee was an engaging participant in a debate on the "Dark Side of the Coin" with Skycoin COO and founder, Brandon & Se; & # 39; Seitana which was probably one of the most colorful parts of the conference.
So, what will happen in Malta? Now the real work begins, making the Blockchain and Crypto legislation work with unprecedented interests from all countries. Will the small Mediterranean nation do it? Look at this space!
