Well, after deliberation with the whole team, we decided that if we were to have everyone vote, we would need to create a voting system for this - but are too short on time due to the preparations for main net launch, and Simon Cowell is simply too expensive and knows nothing about Humanode… so we should bring out our own judge panel, and select the winners live.

So, this Friday, from 13:00 UTC, Dato, Fiona, and Shannon from the Humanode team will be hosting a live show where we stream all 35 entries, watch them together, take a vote, and select the winners of Humanode Got Talent 2022!

We invite everyone to join us for the Grand Finale of HGT 2022!
We will be announcing the link to the finale shortly.

See you there! 🍻

Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.35

19th October — 2nd October

Mainnet in 2 weeks, Presale Wave III is still up and running, Regular dev updates are out, An interview with founder and CEO of Ink Finance — one of Humanode’s business partners, ‘Humanode’s Got Talent’ winners, Humanode Torch continues, and more!

TL;DR
Dear crypto community, welcome to the November edition of Humanode biweekly! A lot has happened since the last report, spend a few moments for our quick recap.
Keep in mind, that the Humanode public sale Wave III is still up and running. It will be open until November 8th, 14:00 UTC, or until all tokens are sold out. All of you who have successfully completed the KYC on Tokensoft are able to participate in the event. So don’t hesitate and join!
Recently, the Humanode team announced the date of the mainnet! It is set for November 15th, 2022. With the launch, Humanode is going to be the first network to deploy a crypto-biometric-based Sybil resistance instead of PoS and PoW bringing the proper distribution of validation power to web3. 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote and all nodes are equal. By design, all human nodes will be equal in terms of validation power. In the beginning, the amount of validators is going to be capped at 1000. If you’ve paid close attention to the HMND token distribution you might have noticed that 2% is reserved for mainnet validators. This is a special fund that will bootstrap the functioning of the first 100 human node validators that are going to join. Regardless of the saturation of the network, it will cover the cost of running the nodes for several years to come. There will be no pre-onboarding period. The mainnet will be deployed at a particular time and the human nodes will be able to onboard themselves as they did to any other testnet. Besides the mainnet, the team is also going to launch a canary network, a testnet for the mainnet, and a testnet for the canary network to give tools to build some really creative stuff.
The current Humanode’s development progress was minutely shared in the regular update. As for the network development, the team removed unused constant dependency at humanode-runtime, moved constants to separate mod, updated time warp instruction with proper args, backported time warp run mode to testnet 4, and implemented chainSpec RPC API. Moreover, they’ve been working on integrations with Gitcoin Passport allowing users to prove their identity through a secure, decentralized UI.
Other than that, the team published an interview with Tony Tang, founder and CEO of Ink Finance –the second article of Humanode’s new series of interviews with business partners. Read to find out how Ink Finance uses Humanode to help businesses build Sybil resistance Financial DAOs.
Moreover, the team continues to pass Humanode Torch around and invites community members to share their thoughts about Humanode. The team randomly asks the community questions, such as the recent questions “Why Humanode?” and “What do you like about Humanode?” and selects answers. If the torch is passed to you, grab the opportunity to speak out and inspire the global Humanode community!
That’s all for today. Join Wave III and stay in the loop! Humanode mainnet is around the corner!

Human nodes and friends,

Victor exposes a bitter truth of decentralised governance in crypto and why we need to work harder on decentralising capital to create a truly decentralised future of DAOs and DeFi.

We in Humanode believe that one day crypto will be truly decentralised. Are you with us?

Hola human nodes,

This is an important announcement for all the validators on Testnet 4. We are rolling out the update for biometric verification. This means that all human nodes will have to re-enroll and re-authenticate to continue being validators.

The updates will be out on Wednesday (November 9, 2022)

In order to resolve problems faced during re-enrolling and re-authenticating, check this troubleshoot guide: https://gitbook.humanode.io/troubleshooting

Regards,
Humanode Core

Dear Human nodes,

We are happy to announce the closure of Wave 3 for Humanode. We are honored that we were joined by so many members of the Humanode community!

512 validators and community members participated in the sale, raising ~ 570,000 USD.

This amount is significantly lower than we hoped to raise, however combined with the funds raised in the private institutional round, it will be enough for the core team to march forward through the bear market, launch the mainnet, implement the road map in full, and solidify our vision.

For all of you who have participated in Waves, we thank you for your trust and conviction. For the members of the community who were not able to participate, we thank you for your support, and are looking forward to your continued effort and participation in the community. You are all what keeps us, and Humanode, ticking.

Sincerely,

The Humanode Core Team

📢 Attention to all Testnet 4 validators!

⚠️The update for biometric verification will happen in an hour⚠️

Be ready to re-enroll and re-authenticate to continue being validators.

Hello, Human nodes and friends,

After years of hard work, dedication, and belief by the team, partners, investors, and of course, the Humanode community who have supported us throughout this journey, we are elated to announce that the Humanode Mainnet will launch on November 15th, 2022!

We have prepared an article to help you understand the Humanode, Mainnet Roll Out Plan, and how you can be part of Humanode.

Read this article: https://blog.humanode.io/humanode-mainnet-launch-2/

With that said, Humanode is a public utility, and we can’t do it alone, so if you want to help, start spreading the word and get involved!

Regards,
Humanode Core

Hey human nodes,

This is an important announcement for everyone who is running a node on Testnet 3 “Ramiel.”

We have decided to shut down Testnet 3 “Ramiel”, which was launched to test the BABE block production engine, GRANDPA for block finalization mechanism, and EVM compatibility. Ramiel will now be considered deprecated, as we will shut down all the test validator nodes and the provided infrastructure.

However, Testnet 4 will still be up and running. And will have the Mainnet launched next week. So those who want to test run their nodes or deploy apps on the Humanode network should shift to Testnet 4.

Regards,

Humanode Core
