   hey everyone hope you're having a good day this is Dorian TV latest I was helping the near ecosystem this is nearbytes today on the agenda we have a near con submarine over the event including information about nearcon hackathon and the launch of the sweatcoin token years development Defcon in Bogota information on medveld information on a new near free code Camp curriculum and a new smart contract development tool crave at the near foundation's New engineering

2. 0:28

   team with that let's get started so comes the end to the second Year Con and I want to say I'm very happy to connect with members of the near ecosystem person so to everyone watching here that got to me in person I want to say it was a very amazing pleasure and honor to see you so star of nircon was quite the storm literally the venue of the event was located in a warehouse along the water in Lisbon Portugal lots of spaces for stages company booths and hackerspaces

3. 0:52

   and even a yoga area Lisbon was is normally a very sunny City and it's usually an amazing destination for this event every time I go there I got a lot of fun it's really exciting except for the week we happen to be there a hurricane had just dissipated releasing a flurry of rain onto the city and the warehouse roof leaked with a bunch of the clogged drain pipes bursting on the scene

4. 1:18

   half the space was blocked off unfortunately and we had to deal with a lot of flooding uh I honestly thought the show was over I was really concerned we put a lot of work into his event so to see it all get literally washed out it was heartbreaking but what was incredible was how the event staff turned things around so quickly in the same day like within hours by the afternoon they already had people working on the roof to patch up

5. 1:43

   the holes uh clean up all the water in the area and get all the booths and all the and even the hacker space mostly dry and what was even more inspiring were the actual members of the ecosystem they kept working kept going and kept coding even while water was falling around them So eventually like I said most of the event space was dry and most of the roof was patched up and the vent like kept going so day one started off rough uh but and again coming from me I thought

6. 2:09

   it was all over so it was really exciting to see the entire entire process get turned around and get uh back on track um and what was even cool about nircon was all the Innovations got to see during the event all the connections are being made and all the you know again just seeing the members of the community come to light and meet together in person and you're coming we had a life hackathon for the developers in attendance and a good number of teams are formed and just above 90 projects missions were made the top 10 teams were
