What is HackerStash
HackerStash is a weekly tournament designed to help you support digital projects and services you love, and keep your own project moving forward too.
You’ll share updates on your project and vote on competing projects, with the top contributors winning cash prizes each week to help fund their project.
A HackerStash subscription will cost $9 per month, and the prize pool gets larger as more projects take part.
