Best Use of Lightning

Boltwall is a new way of thinking about paywalls on the Internet. Rather than relying on a 3rd party to track and collect payments on your behalf, Boltwall gives the content owner the ability to collect fees directly in exchange for access to your data.

2nd Prize – Help a Stranger Out
We spend our lives in tiny bubbles. Eat, sleep, work, repeat. What’s the glue sustaining this routine over time? It’s kindness. And the human spirit. Now you can be more thoughtful about applying it. Help a Stranger Out helps us be more intentional about showing kindness to strangers.
