Pain and problem description
Currently to have a wallet and make BGL transactions user should run full node. It's server-oriented, and has no modern features like mnemonic seed.
There are many wallet solutions for both desktop and mobile that support BTC, and many of them are open-source. Getting wallet software to support BGL would provide more accessibility and ability for more users to play with it or use it.

FAQ
- Hackathon is a team competition for programmers, designers and managers who solve a social or business problem in a short time.
- No. Only teams of 1-5 people can take part in the hackathon. It is not easy for one person to close all the competencies necessary for solving problems. But we can help you find a team.
- Fill out in detail the form in the registration system, provide all the necessary information, upload your CV (optional). The more details you fill out the questionnaire and the more accurately you tell about yourself, the more chances you have. If you are reading this, you definitely have a story to tell!
- Of course!
A hackathon team requires different roles, including managers, pitchers, designers, and marketers. If you have expertise in any issue, it may come in handy. Just register and describe your experience - for sure you can be useful for one of the teams.
