Agama link not working on announcement page. Yes, github is the place to go for those that understand this but the majority are simple, hard working people that want to be part of the project and need simple.

Thanks!

Solution for the Decker's Quest Quiz
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32046502

Today, when all the rewards were received by participants i can post the right solution:

1. Achiving first 7.77 KMD was very easy. Look at the screen - https://deckersu.github.io/images/decker_quest_01.jpg . We see LaMetric Time clock on the table, displaying current time. It's 20:22, entering "20:22" as passphrase in Agama or BarterdDEX will get access to REFhpPU7B75ADNEyjbLGAHf3DWz6XSggXX address. First reward was taken - eea7e7ca9051b8702abaf593f5fab3bf4a812f03bdc228379e4b80dcad6e559f .
2. Second part is a little bit harder. Private key for reward's address contained in the image in IPTC info field "Special instructions". There is a two ways how to get it. Easiest, is to download image on PC:
Code:
wget https://github.com/DeckerSU/deckersu.github.io/raw/master/images/decker_quest_01.jpg
and just open it in a hex editor:

See the phrase "YourPrizeIsRightHereOneStep2Win!" ? This is privkey. There is also other way to get it:
Code:
exiv2 -pi decker_quest_01.jpg
Here is the output:
Code:
Iptc.Envelope.CharacterSet                   String      3                                  
Iptc.Envelope.ModelVersion                   Short       1  4                              
Iptc.Application2.SpecialInstructions        String     32  YourPrizeIsRightHereOneStep2Win!
Iptc.Application2.BylineTitle                String      6  Decker                          
After we get SpecialInstructions, let's convert ASCII phrase to hex to get 32-bytes privkey:
Code:
YourPrizeIsRightHereOneStep2Win! = 596f75725072697a6549735269676874486572654f6e65537465703257696e21
Now we should get uncompressed address and WIF for it. Let's use this http://gobittest.appspot.com/Address service to get it. Enter 32 bytes above in "0 - Private ECDSA Key" field and click send. After this go to "4 - Adding network bytes to 3" field and change first byte to 0x3C (Komodo Network) and click Send once more. We get address: RPLuaFx1bafJGJtaV3u724k3ZyrD9h5aVZ .

Check it via explorer https://kmd.explorer.supernet.org/address/RPLuaFx1bafJGJtaV3u724k3ZyrD9h5aVZ and will see 7.77 KMD on it. Bingo.

Now let's generate WIF for it via "Private key to wallet import format" on http://gobittest.appspot.com/PrivateKey . But unfortunatelly there is a one problem here. Service generates WIF only for Bitcoin network Wink

Step "2 - Add 0x80 byte to the front" is only for BTC main network. For KMD we should add 0xBC (188) instead of 0x80 on this step. We can write a simple script for calc:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
export PRIV_KEY=596f75725072697a6549735269676874486572654f6e65537465703257696e21
export VER=bc
echo ${VER}${PRIV_KEY}
# Compute checksum (Double SHA256)
echo ${VER}${PRIV_KEY} -n | xxd -r -p | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl dgst -sha256
# Take the first 4 bytes of the double SHA256 hash (403f84da)
export CHECKSUM=403f84da
# Append checksum
echo ${VER}${PRIV_KEY}${CHECKSUM}
Result:
Code:
bc596f75725072697a6549735269676874486572654f6e65537465703257696e21403f84da
Now we should convert it to base58:
Code:
7K8LfzaZj6yoTM2PJhn8Cb4SQ3M7dkxCL47p2DDa5uMrLNRtqrh
Let's import this privkey in komodod or Agama and take win 7.77 KMD.

Somebody was succeded with this: https://kmd.explorer.supernet.org/tx/f33c2a55b4865b09d7a5f3a9d882d36c5f5e39db903d7c62e7a0dcb7ab3e5ccf Wink

As notary election  date comes closer , many candidates are posting their respective resume so to speak . Because they are the foundation of dPoW it is relatively important to know the specs of their machine. Knowledge wise no question about it as Komodo provides a precise instruction on how to build a notary server. More important is the performance of Internet connectivity and reliability plus its firewall.

Is anyone preparing a list to compare candidates?

This is really needed, I'm finding it hard to find info on candidates. A comparison table would be excellent!
http://pad.supernet.org/notary-candidates-2018

that is the raw data, hopefully someone in community can take the time to post objective comparison

https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/vote2018 will be where candidates will all be posting to a single centralized place. it wont be the definitive total info on all candidates as the actual process is a fully decentralized sending VOTE2018 coins to candidates addresses. that can be done without any centralized approvals, so anybody is free to be a candidate.

that being said, we expect all serious candidates to be submitting at least some info to the github

Graphic Design & Translation - BTC accepted here!
Howdy! Since everyone is posting their pitch for the elections here, we (TheGaltMines) will do so as well.

(Same post with mixed media embded http://www.thegaltmines.io/index.php/why-vote-for-us/ turns out you need accounts with more maturity to embed content )

The first thing to know about us, is that we are not new to this, we've ran a Notary node in the NA sector for a full year now while being one of the top 10 nodes in Notarization ranking. We know how to do this.

We are also public about who we are to show we are not a fly by night team, and are willing and ready to make Komodo our top priority. Here's our team.



I've personally been involved in Komodo, and Supernet before that since about 2014 and had a significant role educating people about the early vision of this project which is now taking serious shape. This includes writing multiple articles about the Supernet ecosystem and atomic swaps as a journalist, and later on writing various pages of the old Wikipedia for Supernet.

Since last year, every video I make has a Komodo ad on it which you can see at the end of videos like this one, It is usually at the beginning of my content, but this one is all about Komodo so it made since to end with it.

You can find my work on facebook.com/juansgalt (gets a lot move views then youtube these days) or youtube at juansgalt.com/youtube


https://www.facebook.com/juansgalt/videos/1922442438066652/


Here's some of the brand awareness I've gotten for Komodo over the past year, as well as total views since I could calculate for my content as a public speaker and content creator, since 2017.



One of the things we want to do for Komodo this year is creating a private fund for Komodo projects and services we like to call Shenlong's Den.

The idea is simple. You have a project, you propose it to us and make an ask for funding, we analyze it and decide whether or not and how to deliver capital to your project.

The 3 of us at The Galt Mines make final decisions on funding, which I believe will help bring more accountability to blockchain funding of community services then has been seen in other projects like DASH or Pivx.



This year we want to take responsibility three new Notary nodes, looking to bring our experience and time to this ecosystem full time if the community wants us to do so.

Here's the locations we have in mind and the hardware specs we are currently working with.



Last but not least we take very seriously the disruptive potential of Komodo, both as a way to bring zcash grade anonymity to other coins thru barterdex, but also as a way to have them benefit from Bitcoin's security while making their own core development decisions, as blockchains in their own right. This is the great innovation behind the notary system which from my 4+ years of experience in this market is very unique.

And of course atomic swap non-custodial exchange. What else needs to be said? Komodo has serious potential.

With that in mind we are looking to create a space to discuss legal defense strategies starting with the way North American institutions might look at Komodo, but also, ideally exploring how we stand in legal terms worldwide.

We believe it will be important to pay attention to this side of things in the coming years and starting this conversation now with the right people will allow us to be prepared and not surprised if legal attacks do come.

I'll leave you with our mission statement as well as our website, where we can find all us, contact us and keep up to date with what we are up to.

Also you might want to check out this Q&A I did with Audo, Komodo community manager and marketing strategist.

Next video will be a visual guide on how to vote on this elections, start installing your agama client now if you havn't already. : )
