In the past few days, I have seen many advertisements for acquiring GitHub accounts in Moments and Weibo:
Acquired a GitHub account registered before 2019, and has more than 16 fans, and has retained the private key. No special purpose, just to beautify your resume. 500 yuan/piece.
As technical people, we have to refuse middlemen to make the difference.
In fact, this is a welfare activity organized by Handshake:
The Handshake Organization raised money from top Silicon Valley investors including A16Z and Sequoia. They donated $10.2mm to GNU, Mozilla, and other internet foundations.
Now they’re giving away ~4662 Handshake coins to qualifying developers on GitHub.
After 5 minutes of operation, we can get a few tenths of Bitcoin, worth about 5000 yuan. The official said it takes 3~5 minutes, and the actual operation may take more than half an hour. The official website has a very detailed tutorial:
Address: https://www.namebase.io/airdrop
condition
Registered a GitHub account (no time limit)
Have at least 15 followers before February 4, 2019
The private key added before February 4, 2019, usually in the computer's
~/.ssh/id_rsadirectoryNode.js >= 8.0.0. Because the tools received are developed using JavaScript
There is a Handshake wallet address.
the way
If you do not meet the first 3, you can close this page.
If you are satisfied, the next step is to install Node.js. This will not be introduced.
Register an account
Go to the official website https://www.namebase.io to register an account, the official website has a Chinese version.
The wallet address can be generated as shown in the figure.
receive
The preparatory work is finished, and enter the formal receiving steps:
1. Download hs-airdrop
$ git clone https://github.com/handshake-org/hs-airdrop.git
This tool is open source and developed by the handshake team. Because your private key will be used later, you can read the tool source code if you are not worried.
2. Installation dependencies
$ cd hs-airdrop && npm install
or
$ cd hs-airdrop && yarn
3. Check your private key
$ ls ~/.ssh
Under normal circumstances, the private key is ~/.ssh/id_rsa, if yours is not, remember the location of the private key.
4. Receive
Find the address you generated above
./bin/hs-airdrop <path to key> <address> <fee>
For example, my command is
./bin/hs-airdrop ~/.ssh/id_rsa hs1qmca2049atcnx5u307xd0etyfclrt4dkr5ejn3q 0.01
The first parameter is the private key address.
The second parameter is the wallet address.
The third parameter 0.01 is the handling fee. The default is 0.1, and it is recommended to change it to 0.01.
success
Now no less than ~4662 HNS (Handshake coins) are available.
The official 3~5 minutes is over.
But this is not over, because this is HNS currency, we need to change it into RMB.
This requires 2 steps and N preconditions.
Step 1: Convert HNS to Bitcoin (BTC)
Prerequisites, certification is required.
Open the official website https://www.namebase.io/kyc/basic
It doesn't matter whether you fill in your name, Chinese characters or pinyin. Will ask if you are the United States, choose No.
Upload documents: passport or ID card. Generally it is an ID card, choose identity card.
After passing the authentication, open the address https://www.namebase.io/sell and exchange the air currency you received into Bitcoin.
Step 2: Convert Bitcoin to RMB
You can find a domestic bitcoin trading market to complete this operation.
