Problem we need to solve
Voting on Minter 1.1 Upgrade Proposal
An official page dedicated to voting on the Minter 1.1 upgrade proposal was opened Tuesday. In this vote, the list of updates to the network introduced by the developer team will be decided upon. If over two-thirds (66%) of the network capacity votes in favor of proceeding with the upgrade, there will be a second round of voting aimed to determine the block height designated for the network’s upgrade and the node’s code hash audit.
All current Minter network validators are eligible for participation. To cast a vote, use your reward address or validator management address. The voting will conclude 2/10/2020 12:00 AM UTC.

Minter Push Hackathon Over 1.5M of BIPs and other coins in prizes to solve this problem! https://medium.com/@egordeev/minter-push-0-1-1363de8846eb
Stage 1: Core. Results
1st place, 200K
minterpush.com (wallet example)
+ fast and easy, top-up via cheques, QR codes, selection of equivalent currency (ruble, dollar, etc.), individual pages for each integration instead of pop-up windows
- not found
1st place, 200К (yes, there are two first places)
push.scoring.mn (wallet example)
+ several coins, history, passwords, API, cool minor features (such as profiles when sending)
- it’d be probably reasonable to work on interfaces and make them easier
2nd place, 100К
minterpush.ru (wallet example, password: 123456)
+ advanced mode (multi-push)
2nd place, 100К (yes, there are two of them as well)
wallet.btcsecure.io (wallet example, password: 123)
+ interesting potential, likely strong security
- complicated obligatory sign-in, long page addresses, no ruble equivalent
3rd places, 50К each
push.gifts (wallet example)
+ potentially interesting functionality (according to features outlined in the application form)
phewapp.org (wallet example)
+ no distinctive advantages, except for maybe profile name, history through cookies, passwords
push.money
+ great API, but with no interface and demo
push.reef.mn (wallet example)
Total: 800К.
Sharing objectives will be published shortly.
Among other things, the team paid close attention to the speed of the work, giving priority to those who managed to meet the initial deadline.
Once again, congratulations on making it to the second stage.

Minter Push Hackathon: Sharing
The purpose of the hackathon’s stage two is the development of the sharing concept—i.e., the ultimate solution to the usability problem for both distributor and receiver. As there are no strict guidelines to follow, the team will evaluate your original ideas and the realization of those ideas.
Some you may borrow from the list below:
– Instant distribution. In one tap/click/image, with no unnecessary complications
– Maximum reach. Once you’ve performed the action, you are broadcasting to thousands of people at once
– Integration with common systems—e.g., e-mail and SMS
– Automatization. Someone gets a link as a result of some action
– Conditions. The user has to fill out a form, answer the questions, confirm something
– Dynamics. The link changes as time passes—for example, throughout a live stream—and expires afterward
– Forwarding. The wallet can be moved to a new link and forwarded to someone
Metadata should be given special consideration as all links and QR codes must look pretty, proper noscripts and denoscriptions included. The user has to understand in advance where the link will take them.
Don’t forget to place a CTA (call-to-action) to create a transfer as it may potentially boost the virality of your project, but don’t be annoying.
You can also implement targeted sharing, meaning when someone opens a wallet via your link, the most important action is prioritized—e.g., an offer to make in-game purchases. This would prove convenient for those who struck partnerships, for example, Time Loop can post wallets promoting 1001 and vice versa.
With QRs, there is scope for imagination. The most simple case might be something like “Scan this code and claim USD 10.”
It’s best to keep links as short as possible, 4–6 characters give over 100 billion combinations.
The more advanced of you may enable viewing link stats, it’s when you add a “+” at the end of the URL and see its analytics: date of creation, number of clicks, locations, languages, devices, etc. If you’ve ever used bit.ly, you get the idea.
The prizes are as follows:
1st place—200К
2nd place (two)—100К each
3rd place (six)—50К each
Total: 9 winners, 700К BIP to be awarded.
The deadline is Saturday evening. On Sunday, the team will make decisions. Early submissions will have greater chances—we are humans as well, and we often need some time to figure out how everything works, try out all the features, etc.
If you got any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with @seo2z.
The application form is available at www.minter.link/pushhackathon.
We may miss something at first, so please feel free to describe in detail what exactly you have done.

Minter’s Three Layers
Let’s discuss the ideology that we developed to provide a greater understanding of who is doing what within the community. Minter has three layers of programs:
– Core—i.e., Mainnet supported by validators with native coin BIP—and a single API for services. On-chain, by team
– Services, AKA “Sidechains.” Integrated into Mainnet, they run on top of their own coins but can also interact with one another via a unified protocol allowing them to complete tasks as part of a decentralized solution. On-chain, by community
– Solutions. Explorers, wallets, liquidity providers, merchants, MinterID, MinterPush, and other vital elements that operate outside of the chain yet utilize its capacities. Off-chain
Those three layers are where Minter lefts off—and projects for users pick up. We’re introducing a clear distinction between end-users (transfers, loyalty points, games, achievements, etc.) and developers (core, API, services, solutions).
Core and API for inter-service communication are developed and maintained by the main team. Sidechain-based, Mainnet-integrated services can be developed by anyone. And the most crucial layer—solutions such as explorers, wallets, and pushes—is spearheaded by our cool dev community!

Texas is live!
An updated test network has been successfully launched Friday: texasnet.explorer.minter.network/blocks/1
If you did not do anything with your balance within the last 24 hours, it must ALMOST mirror the one on the testnet. See DAO address as an example: texasnet.explorer.minter.network/address/Mx18467bbb64a8edf890201d526c35957d82be3d95
During the final transition to the new version of the network, not a single coin will be lost as the operation will stop, and all validators will have one hour to get ready for the launch with the full data.
On this test network, BIP is replaced with MNT. We strongly recommend you DO NOT sign in to the testnet Console using your actual seed phrase.

We plan to launch the new minter.network website as sort of a wiki. From developers, for developers.
It will have the following sections:
– How-tos (guidelines on a wide range of topics)
– Solutions (existing and future solutions—e.g., explorers, wallets, pushes)
– Tools (all tools for development and maintenance)
– Docs (multi-level technical documentation, for community-developed services and solutions as well)
The website’s target audience will be developers, while minter.org will be aimed at ordinary users.

📗 Minter Wiki: New Arrival
KeepMySeed is an application providing users with NFC-enabled secure storage capabilities.
The project development team has implemented the idea of storing sensitive data—such as passwords—on an NFC tag.
NFC tags are off-line devices that operate without an internal power source. For activation and uninterrupted performance (data transmission), they must be within the range of the active device—e.g., an ordinary smartphone.
Check out the latest Minter.Wiki article breaking down KeepMySeed’s features and functionality.

Minter Push Hackathon: Customization
Stage three is all about customizing everything you did in the past two.
First and foremost, challengers need to polish their code, publish it on GitHub, and release decent documentation (preferably in English) so that other members of the community could build from there. These teams will win our immediate attention.
Second, services must be provided as white label offerings so that anyone could issue their own customized push using your server.
Third, a flexible API is a must as it will give advanced users freedom in making skins or implementing the product in bots, apps, etc.
As you can see, we don’t go deep into details here. The main idea is that other teams start using your advancements, embedding them into their projects.
The deadline is Saturday evening (February 15), and this time, it’s final. Winners will be announced Sunday.
Prizes:
1st place: 200K
Two 2nd places: 100K each
Four 3rd places: 50K each
BONUS: on February 17, the fourth stage of MinterPush will start. At this point, we will not reveal the objectives but what we can share is that you will have 10 days, and the prize pool will be increased.
P.S. There will be stage five as well.
