Interesting idea, this is the first virtual hackathon I've ever seen. Wonder if this is the first time someone's ever tried this. Could be huge

Global Game Jam [1] and Ludum Dare [2] are two other 'virtual' hackathons.

The VR Jam the Oculus folks put on also did this.

Expect: "Official Rules:

1. Eligibility: The Liberty Hackathon Contest (the “Contest”) is open only to contestants 18 years of age or older who are legal residents of the United States (“Entrants”). The Contest is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law."

It's only for US citizens.

That's not wholly unreasonable for something new. Drafting something that respects wider international law is difficult; there are age and parental restrictions in many countries, content restrictions in others, restrictive copyright laws in others.

True, but saying "Compete anywhere remotely in the world" on the page is misleading since it gives the impression anyone could participate.
