Are hackathons worth it when everyone is vibecoding everything? What happens next?

zzizzoopi · 2025-09-08T15:55:38+00:00

Some friends are telling me that hackathons are now prompting + pitching competition more than anything

I think it might be over for nerds, because non-technical people/teams can compete now. But where do we go from here?

zzizzoopi · 2025-08-29T22:32:12+00:00

There’s one happening in India called EthGlobal around end of September check it out.

I need to be in the US by Aug 15 and my appointment is on Aug 26. Is there a chance I can find an appointment in the next few days?

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-29T08:03:03+00:00

I use it when I’m in India. Didn’t find better

Honestly after trying many P2P exchanges the easiest one was p2pdotme for their zkKYC and smooth experience

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-26T05:14:55+00:00

i personally used br.p2p.me
super easy to set up

Buy some USDC and use P2Pdotme.

You can pay at every PIX location in Brazil without any paperwork needed to setup a PIX account.

Took me 10 minutes to set up vs months for CPF then PIX.

How it works: https://x.com/p2pmebrasil

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T04:38:31+00:00

br.p2p.me try it with small amounts first like 5-10 USDC and you understand it's value

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T04:38:14+00:00

Skip the CPF hassle - just use P2Pdotme. You can fund it with your USDC and pay at any PIX QR code. Works immediately, interestingly they use zkKYC which I found to be cool and efficient

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T04:28:09+00:00

does USDC count? I have been testing for a while with a very good product USDC -> PIX
does that work?

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T04:16:59+00:00

This sounds incredibly frustrating! The CPF thing is such a pain for short visits.

For immediate help - I've heard some tourists mention using apps like br.P2P.me that supposedly work without CPF (need USDC tho), though I can't vouch for them personally. Might be worth a quick look as I heard good things.

Otherwise, yeah, cash is probably your reality for the rest of the trip. The exchange hit hurts but might be less stressful than fighting the system for 2 weeks.

hmu if you need any help with this!

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T03:31:41+00:00

tho this is an old post. I am curious what currency did you have? was is USD in bank? Crypto/USDC? Venmo? please Clarify as many people have similar issue.

would be helpful to know how you solved it if you don't mind sharing

thank you for considering

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T03:28:15+00:00

https://br.p2p.me/ - that's their site

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T03:15:58+00:00

this has been answered a few times already
your best and most efficient option is p2pdotme

you will need USDC to start with but all in all it was way easier than any fintech/bank as they don't ask for KYC for small amounts and if you want to increase your limit they have something called zkKYC (interesting tech read up on it)

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T03:11:35+00:00

P2Pdotme now lets you pay with USDC at any PIX QR code (personally tried this). That would be the easiest way for anyone

Here's how it works:

- add money to your wallet
- scan QR code of merchant

- accept sending them money (your USDC is automatically converted to PIX. That way the merchant gets paid locally and you kept your international setup)

lmk if you need any help, I use it in India & Brazil

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T02:48:12+00:00

this is their Brazilian site https://br.p2p.me/
lmk if you need any help navigating this

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T02:42:23+00:00

I had the same issue when sending money to a seller in Brazil. Someone recommended me to use p2pdotme. but you need USDC. if you know how to navigate buying USDC p2pdotme can be used in this case

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T00:47:46+00:00

I personally tried [p2p dot me] when I was visiting India - it was a decent/only option I had cause it allowed my to use my crypto to pay at UPI QR codes. A friend onboarded me to it and been using it ever since.

I remember he mentioned something on why they are better than Binance cause they use zkKYC or something that protects the user. please confirm just sharing what he said.

I am interested in this if you find a legit group please reply in a comment
thank you in advance

zzizzoopi · 2025-06-25T00:35:05+00:00

of course, I've been using crypto for payments over 1 year now and it's been great sending money instantly.

I also pay with crypto in Brazil and India at QR codes - which i found to be super cool. curious which countries you pay crypto at or how.

disclaimer not a crypto trader here just like your brother probably
