04octAll Day06Hackers Congress Paraleni Polis

Event Details

In recent years, privacy and freedom have come under attack. State surveillance has intensified, financial regulations have tightened, and the anonymity of transactions has been increasingly scrutinized. Yet, in the face of these challenges, our resolve remains unbroken.

Dělnická 475/43, 170 00 Praha 7, Czechia

HARDCORE signifies our uncompromising commitment to defending individual autonomy against all forms of control. We reject the chains of coercion and embrace decentralization, anonymity, and cryptographic freedom.

As pioneers of a new order, we stand at the forefront of technological innovation, driving progress for a free society. The old world is crumbling, and from its chaos, we will forge a future built on freedom and innovation.

HARDCORE means challenging control, forging new paths, and continuing the fight for our rights. Let us stand united, firm and unwavering, as we rise together, guided by the indomitable spirit of freedom into the future.

This is our moment.

For the very last time, welcome to the Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis!

Paralelní Polis

Paralelní Polis is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, innovative thinking, and the development of society are the main underlying foundations of the project.

The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique coworking space and the world’s first bitcoin-only cafe.

It was founded by members of a contemporary-art group Ztohoven, and Slovak and Czech hackerspaces. Its main goal is to promote economic, social, and digital freedom. We try to be a vocal voice of liberty in order to shape the public discourse, and ultimately work towards a freer future.
