This project is primarily about getting the Sydney Ethereum community to collaborate on a project and explore the uses of an Ethereum token. The initial thoughts are it could be used for voting rights and promotional offers. It'll be open to the community to further innovate with the token.
The other reason for the project is to give the members of the community who have not been hands on with Ethereum encouragement to setup a wallet and explore the Ethereum ecosystem. Since they are getting the token for free, it's a good way to bring people in and start thinking about how tokens could be used in their lives. This could be for community, business, government, study or anything else.
Members will enter their public Ethereum address in their introduction section of their meetup profile. The introduction is different for each meetup group they are a member of so different tokens can be used for different groups. The public key can be anywhere in the intro field as the program will just selected the first word that complies to the Ethereum address rules. eg start with 0x and is then 40 hexadecimal characters. eg 0x93B7fe67cb18D5900a19C25C4a72240392502c6d
When a member joins the meetup group and have entered their Ethereum address in their intro, a number of tokens will be issued to them. When they attend a meetup more tokens will be issued to them. The amount of tokens issued is configurable and is up to the meetup group to decide their rules.
This project comes with scripts to run a development instance of geth to test deploying a token contract and issuing tokens to it.
In the scripts folder, run the following commands on a Mac OSX or Linux platform
cd scripts
chmod a+x initGeth.sh
./initGeth.shThis is start a new development blockchain using the genesis.json file. The chain data will be under testchain in the geth folder.
If the above initial setup has already been done, the development geth node can be started with
cd scripts
chmod a+x startGeth.sh
./startGeth.shIn the scripts folder, run the following commands on a Mac OSX or Linux platform
cd scripts
chmod a+x startParity.sh
./startParity.shThis is start a new development blockchain using the meetupChainSpec.json specification file and parityDevConfig.toml config file. The chain data will be under testchain in the parity folder.
This project was an excuse to try out a number of new technologies including
