How to
register for Fairground
incentives

To register for Fairground incentives you will need to Tweet a message, from a public Twitter account, with a signature from your Vega wallet. If you haven’t already, you can either create a hosted wallet or download a local wallet by following these instructions. You must use local wallet version 0.9.2 or later, 0.8 or lower version wallets will not work with Fairground incentives.

The good news is you only need to do this once, and then you are registered for all incentives afterwards (from time-to-time we may ask you to re-register but that won’t be very often).

How to sign the message via Vega Console

  1. Log into your wallet on Vega Console.
  2. Then go to the search box at the top of the screen, and search the term "Sign message".
  3. Enter your Twitter handle in the message box of the pop-up.
  4. Click ‘sign’.
  5. This will generate the message that you need to tweet. Click ‘Tweet this’.
  6. This takes you to Twitter where you choose to tweet the message.

Once you have tweeted, check the registration page to see your Twitter handle. This means your registration has been successful. You will not receive a response on Twitter unless your registration was invalid. The Twitter account you use must be public to register for the incentives.

Other ways to register

To register you'll need to sign a message (containing your Twitter handle, which is case sensitive) with your Vega wallet and share the signature on Twitter. If you want to use the local (command line) wallet. You will need version 0.9.2 or later of the local wallet. Here is the format for the message:

I'm taking a ride on @VegaFairground PUBKEY SIGNEDMESSAGE https://fairground.wtf/

To generate a signature using local wallet, run the following command:

MacOS & Linux

./vegawallet sign --key ReplaceWithYouVegaPublicKey --wallet ReplaceWithYourWalletUsername --message ReplaceWithYourBase64EncodedTwitterHandle

Show example shell command

./vegawallet sign  --key 75b5b97f27d13a6de2245e0cf56aa1c865f2678a6d24f1675e95486ee2a6d31e --wallet walletname --message Y2FtcGJlbGxzc291cmNl

Windows

vegawallet sign --key ReplaceWithYouVegaPublicKey --wallet ReplaceWithYourWalletUsername --message ReplaceWithYourBase64EncodedTwitterHandle

Show example shell command

vegawallet sign  --key 75b5b97f27d13a6de2245e0cf56aa1c865f2678a6d24f1675e95486ee2a6d31e --wallet walletname --message Y2FtcGJlbGxzc291cmNl

To encode your Twitter handle you can use Text to Base64. Do not include the @ symbol.

For example:

mytwitterhandle = bXl0d2l0dGVyaGFuZGxl

Registration troubleshooting

In the event you have issues registering via Twitter, check out some of these tried and tested troubleshooting tips:

  • Make sure you use your Twitter handle (the thing that starts with @) and not the display name.
  • It is case sensitive so copy it exactly.
  • Give it a while before tweeting again to avoid problems with Twitter's anti-bot / anti-spam algorithms.
  • You can try to reply to our tweet with your message rather then post it.
