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, please download a Vega wallet by following these instructions. You must use desktop wallet v.0.1.1 or later, local wallet version 0.13.2 or later, 0.12 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

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. Here is the format for the message (see below for instructions on generating PUBKEY and SIGNEDMESSAGE):

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

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.

Vega Desktop Wallet

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

  1. Open your Vega desktop wallet.
  2. In the wallet, click on the keypair that you want to use.
  3. Enter your Twitter handle in the message box (without the @ symbol).
  4. Click ‘sign’.
  5. This will generate the message that you need, together with your public key, to use in your tweet.

Vega CLI Wallet

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

Hosted wallet and/or sign message via console

In case you want to use the Hosted Wallet use the below steps, for the ones using a local wallet and only want to register via the console, go directly to step 5

  1. Access the Vega console
  2. Click Connect wallet up in the right corner
  3. Change to hosted wallet by clicking Use hosted wallet
  4. Enter username and passphrase and press Create hosted wallet
  5. In the Vega console, make sure that you are logged in, click one of the + buttons in the your current view so that "pick a view" appears. Scroll down to the bottom of the listed options and choose Sign utility
  6. Enter your Twitter handle, it is case sensitive so copy it exactly without the @, press sign and afterwards Tweet this.
  7. Give it a while before tweeting again to avoid problems with Twitter's anti-bot / anti-spam algorithms. Make sure you use your Twitter handle (the thing that starts with @) and not the display name.
