Security software · Portland, Oregon

SEMAIL layers end-to-end encryption onto the email client somebody already uses, pairing PGP keys with PushDrop-anchored delivery so nothing about the workflow changes. Second place at Medford, and the only entry that shipped to a paying pilot inside a month.

Protocol tooling · Austin, Texas

A demonstration of the BOLT token protocol, which carries its validation inside the token rather than deferring it to a second layer. Fourth at Austin. The reference implementation is now what three other teams check their own work against.

Events · Rotterdam, Netherlands

A four-person events company that runs the Benelux BSV calendar: one small annual conference, a monthly Rotterdam meetup, and the exhibitor stands that put working BSV products in front of people who have never seen one. Books the space, fronts the cost, sells the tickets.

Advertising · Austin, Texas

A pay-to-view advertising network that pays the viewer, provided they answer a question about what they just watched. Shown at Austin. The question is the product: it is what lets an advertiser buy attention rather than impressions, and what stops the network paying a script.

Consumer software · Medford, Oregon

Tom O'Neill took first place at the Southern Oregon hackathon with a way of recording an outdoor route as data the walker owns. GPS traces with photographs attached, held in a BRC-100 wallet and shared or sold selectively rather than handed to a platform. The company exists to turn that weekend into a product for guide services.

Games · Austin, Texas

On-chain gaming with the assets, the fairness proof and the player's progression all held where the studio cannot quietly revise them. Third place at the Texas hackathon, built by the Calhoun brothers, and the only entry that night whose demo was a player auditing the studio rather than the other way round.

Communications · Austin, Texas

Encrypted peer-to-peer voicemail with a micropayment per message and an encrypted contact list held on chain. Sixth at Austin. The micropayment is not a gimmick: charging a hundredth of a cent to leave a message turned out to be the whole spam filter.

The studio behind Bitcoin 101, a 1hr44m narrative history presented by Darryl Cooper with Ardian Tola and published on Canonic in May 2025. It sells for 5 BSV a copy, paid to the page rather than to a platform, which is the whole reason the series exists in that form.
