As #nostrasia starts, it's important to remind us that Hard Yaka didn't pay hackathon prizes for the first Nostr hackathon, which took place 6 months ago following the Nostrica conference. Please vet your sponsors carefully to avoid giving the Nostr community a bad reputation.

I got paid out recently after repeatedly contacting nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch and nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 since the hackathon. It's a shame they didn't pay out everyone like promised. Shouldn't have made that huge price promises from the beginning.
But Hard Yaka also invests in Shitcoins, so no wonder they act unhonest.
Update: the winning prize for the first Nostr hackathon has been fully paid. Thanks Hard Yaka, nos.social and rabble for holding NosTropical and supporting the ecosystem.
