PROPOSAL 2: Hackathons (live or online) in 2022

Could you please give me some indication of the expenses needed for hackatons and other events with developers?

Not sure about the level of depth of prize or compensation on this proposal but it is in line with other events. My recommendation with this proposal is to have a sizeable prize pot to get participation from competitive entities and have a contingent prize tied to it for rolling the project out to a finished and polished state. Such as an initial award of 20K HOPR and 20K DAI then whatever project wins and provides lifecycle support with refinement gets another 20K+ HOPR and 20K+ DAI.

Dear @PrzemoL
There are costs wich are similar for Live & Online Hackathons like you need Tokens (and sometimes also cash) as rewards - but the hidden costs are, if you want to do it right, split in 3 parts:

1 … BEFORE = preparing
select the hackathon, talk to the organisers, deal with the planning, prepare texts & graphics for the event, so the entire setup that most developers will be attracted by the project

2 … DURING = caring
especially the IT department needs to deploy internal devs to care for the hackathon participants, if done well, a lot of people are needed

3 … AFTER = recap
gather feedback from all involved parties (event team, Hackers, internal, partners) in order to know what went well, and what could be improved for the next sessions

CASH
all this does not only involve internal resources, but also FIAT
Live events need to pay the location, F&B, etc plus a sponsoring fee for the event team itself (which starts at 10’000 for a small presence, no extra included, for live as well als online events).
At live events, you also need to be present, which adds flights & hotel costs for a team of 3-5 people. (stretching out, at live events: networking is by far better, and a personal connections with the hackers is awesome for projects like us)
Hope this gives a quick overview, if not let me know

Thank you @rikzrh for so detailed explanation!
There are 160k DAI to spend and it seems to be enough to organize a hackaton (at least one:). And from the developer’s perspective, how many events shall HOPR arrange to ensure consistent development of the project?

Dear @PrzemoL sure no problem
Guess 1 Hackathon costs (in DAI) around 30’000

(pls note - this time we will only vote on the HOPR Token part, the DAI will be voted later on.)

OK,thanks,copy that!
