Dear human nodes,

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday in our telegram voice chat! We will be discussing transparency and privacy of identity.

As usual, there will be a live talk between the team members first, and then a conversation with the community.

When?
Wednesday, January 12th, 2022, 16:00 UTC.

Where?

P.S. For those who missed previous discussions, recordings are up on our Podcast and YouTube channel.

Humanode 🤝 Crypto Insurance

Identity fraud will be reduced when no two different individuals can claim to be identical as the underlying liveness detection cannot be spoofed. Humanode presents a robust identification system for the crypto insurance industry.

Hello human nodes!

As we hammer away, building the infrastructure needed for the main net launch, the Humanode core team has decided to hold a hackathon and the very first Humanode conference this coming May, 2022.

We would like to say we have a pretty good idea of what we want to do, but would like to reach out to the community to hear your voice, and see if we need more fine tuning or not.
We would greatly appreciate it if you can answer a few questions at the following link.

🔺Mascot Design Competition🔺

Hello, human nodes!

Today we would like to announce the first Humanode mascot design competition, which starts today.

We ask the friends to think of and design the mascot for the first Humanode hackathon and conference coming May 2022. Don’t worry about being a pro or not. Doodle down what you think is the perfect mascot that represents the Humanode concepts that you like the most! (If push comes to shove, we can always have the winning mascot “cleaned up” and brushed up by our designer, so don’t let your lack of drawing skills prevent you from the creation of the best mascot ever).

The winner, which will be chosen in one week, will win $500 (USD) and will be able to forever engrave his/her name in Humanode history as the creator of the first Humanode mascot (I mean, think of all the future human nodes who will have to memorize your name, just because there is no way to avoid it especially if you want to play a game of trivia!).

The competition starts now, at this moment, and ends on January 28th, 2022.

As for how to submit your artwork, here is what to do:
—Please tweet a picture of your mascot. Do not forget to mention @humanode_io
—Fill out the form with the necessary information (including the link to the tweet that includes the mascot).
—Post more mascots if you are inspired to do so!

Let the drawing commence!! 🖌🎨
