æternity’s Meetup Bounty Campaign!

Spread the word about æternity and plant the æ seed all over the globe.

It’s pretty simple actually
We are thrilled that there are already people from the international æternity community planning to set up events in their localities. We decided that such aspirations must be encouraged with AE tokens. If you are up for the task, æternity will reward your efforts with 3000 AE tokens.

The conditions
Send an e-mail to hello@aeternity.com, including:
1. Your name
2. Social media account for verification and communication (Facebook or LinkedIn preferable)
3. City in which you will organize the meetup
4. Meetup location suggestions (can be a bar, restaurant, university,…)
5. Meetup.com page (including topics to be discussed)
6. Date and time of meetup
7. A link to a public Facebook post or tweet with your Meetup event

This information will be added to a public Google Spreadsheet. You can use that document to check if your application was accepted.

   

There can only be only one meetup per city!

    Photos of the meetup, must be provided no more than one week after it took place.

    Videos are welcome, but not mandatory.

Feel free to provide us with ideas that can make your event extra special! The AE tokens will be distributed to the organizers after the end of Phase Two.

æternity will provide free beers at every meetup (receipt required)

And the final condition: HAVE FUN!

The following is an incomplete overview of what happened and what is yet to happen between Phase One and Phase Two.
We received many relevant questions from the community in the days after the end of Phase One. We have provided answers to many of you, but thought it is a good idea to summarize them all in a blog post. This is it.

How much value was contributed in Phase One?
Total amount of ETH: 120,827.41
Total amount of BTC: 328.63

*the only numbers that matter are the ones in the blockchain. A detailed contribution sheet will be released in the next few days.

How many AE tokens were created in Phase One?
All of the contributions make up 82% of all AE tokens so far: 139,089,935.08 AE. Additionally, 17% (out of the 100% total) will be reserved for the founding team, the founding company and the foundation (under development). Then there is 1% which is allocated according to a formula (to be finalized in accordance with what is technologically possible and makes sense) to people who have BTC and/or ETH addresses. This will take place at a future point in time, just before the launch of the æternity blockchain.

How many tokens do I get?
The tool at the bottom of æternity’s wallet website went through a number of improvements and should now work perfectly for almost all users. There are certain “special” cases that it might not cover, e.g. when you contributed from an exchange.

If you are certain that:
- you have contributed cryptocurrency to æternity’s ETH or BTC address, and
- your transaction is visible on the blockchain

and yet, for some reason, the tool does not display the correct amount of tokens to which you are entitled, please send us information regarding your transaction to claims@aeternity.com. Always include your transaction ID and your sending address. We will try to assist you.




Find this tool at the bottom of æternity’s wallet website.

When will I receive and be able to transfer AE tokens?
All AE tokens will be associated with the public key from which the contribution was sent. If you have sent cryptocurrency from an exchange or another third-party service, please fill in this from. If you sent from an Ethereum wallet contract, the wallet contract ID will be associated with your AE tokens.

All AE tokens will be distributed to contributors after Phase Two is over. They will be created on the Ethereum network in the form of an ERC20 standard token. Once this is done, you will be able to transfer them by importing your private key into the æternity wallet or by using an ERC20 compatible Ethereum wallet. We will provide a guide on how to do that.

Will the AE token be tradable on exchanges?
Yes. Shortly after Phase Two and after the AE becomes an ERC20 token, it is expected to be traded on several exchanges.

When/how will I get my Ledger hardware wallet?
Anyone who contributed more than 11.9 ETH in a single transaction, or the equivalent in BTC, is entitled to a æternity-Ledger wallet. We are currently establishing the process of linking a public cryptocurrency address with the required shipping information. Once we finalize this, we will let everyone know what he or she needs to do in order to claim his or her Ledger.

IMPORTANT: Only single transactions of more than 11.9 ETH (or BTC equivalent) are considered eligible for a Lædger hardware wallet.

What will happen between Phase One and Phase Two?
We are starting the process of extending the team by attracting talent from the blockchain space and beyond. We are also organizing meetups and events to grow the community. A few very interesting bounties will be announced soon, so stay tuned. Check out the æternity Meetup bounty.

On behalf of the team, we want to thank all contributors! æternity will be a blockchain built to last!

æternity Wiki Bounty Campaign

The æternity Wiki is now LIVE! Would you like to help improve it? We have some AE tokens for you!

Wiki Pages are so Informative!

We have spent long hours exploring the Bitcoin and Ethereum Wiki resources. Such knowledge banks are undoubtedly a fundamental, primary resource of information for many projects inside and outside of the blockchain sphere. æternity now has one too — and you can help improve it!

How to Participate

To edit, you need to sign up for a free GitHub account.

Then go to the æternity Wiki and press “edit” or “new page” as appropriate, make the changes and press “save”.

The bitcoin wiki can serve as a great archetype for what we would like to accomplish with the æternity Wiki. We would like it to develop into a comprehensive source of information about æternity as well as a general source of information about blockchains.

Note: Contributions must be original (not copied). All rights to your script will be surrendered to the æternity project and published under the æternity Libre, Free and Open Source license.

Non-original contributions are acceptable, if the content is under a Free and Open Source license. Such edits will be in compliance if they advertise proper attribution to the source.

Let’s make this Wiki sensational!

Wiki Contributor Bounty

A 1000 ETH bounty is being made available for contributors to the æternity Wiki. The bounty is open to everyone. Funds will be distributed as follows.

When Phase Two of æternity’s contribution campaign starts, we will look into the edit history.
- 50% of the bounty will be proportionally distributed among all participants.
- The remaining 50% of the bounty will be distributed to the top 10 quality Wiki contributors, based on staff picks.

Since the evaluation of contributions can be quite subjective, please do not participate by making excessive Wiki edits solely for the bounty. Always keep in mind that your contribution might not get the appreciation that you think it deserves.

The Wiki bounty is sponsored by Simply VC Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Simply Holding Co Ltd.
