Peerplays / Vote for educatedwarrior-witness as PPY Witness
« on: August 02, 2017, 12:32:30 am »
To All Inhabitants of The PeerPlays Universe!!!!!
New Witness in town.
Seed Node To Come
API Node To Come
I’m asking for your vote.

To me being a witness is not all about money to me… it’s about making a contribution to society. And nothing beats making a living making by making a contribution to society. That is what I believe being part of the blockchain revolution should be about.

As I explained in an article I wrote a couple months ago ( https://steemit.com/news/@educatedwarrior/blockchain-techonology-is-more-than-a-decentralized-database-application) … we humans could either be enslaved or liberated by blockchain technology. We can either sit back, watch things happen and throw our hands up when the outcome is not what we want; or we could make things happen and chart a course for a better future.

All my life I have never been a person to sit back and watch things happen. The proof is in the pudding for many of my achievements…. such as earning All-American in athletics, mechanical engineering degree, martial arts blackbelt, etc. It takes discipline and dedication to be successful in any endeavor and I exemplify that.


My experience with block chain technology started when I went to my first Bitcoin conference held 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia USA. There I met a number of people I remain friends with to this day. On a side note, I got an opportunity to speak with Dan Larimer before he wrote his white paper on Invictus.. met Adam Levine from "Let's Talk Bitcoin". The things that were discussed blew my mind at that time and to see it all come to play is even more mind blowing.

My involvement in blockchain technology began with mining alt-coins and bitcoins. Then I single-handedly ran mining pools for over 20 alt-coins. Before Docker containers were available, I used puppet to script configuration of my mining pools. This allowed me to single handedly run 20 mining pools at the same time.

I’m the type of person that tries to figure out things myself first, and I know when to get help. As a teammate, I pull my own weight.

OBJECTIVES
As part of the witness team, I will develop collaborative relationships with other witnesses. I will invest in infrastructure to support scalability needs.

One thing I have learned over my years of IT experience is being well-rounded gives you an advantage in developing solutions to problems. As blockchain technology gets more advanced good problem-solving skills are key and I will use my God given talents to contribute.

So if you vote for me as a witness this is what you get.
• Dedicated with a PASSION
• Over 20 years’ experience in Information Technologies including programming, database design, UNIX scripting, dev ops, computer networking.
• Experience with mitigating DDOS attacks

INFRASTRUCTURE
• Dedicated Witness Node
o 256 GB RAM (upgradeable to 512 GB)
o 256 GB SSD
o 32 Cores at 3.0 Ghz (upgradeable to 64 cores)

• Backup Witness Node
o 32 GB RAM
o 256 GB SSD
o 12 Cores at 3.0 Ghz

• 1 GBPS Fiber-optic Internet Uplink
• Smart Router with DDOS protection

As you can see, the infrastructure I currently have will support Peerplays for now and future growth. After my witness node is up and running I will work with the Peerplays team to get a seed node and api node set up as well.

Please vote for my witness “educatedwarrior-witness”. I will contribute my God given talents to make the world a better place.

My BitsharesX wallet was compromised housing all of my PTS and BTC keys.  My wallet was encrypted, but it did not matter.   This gave the attacker access to AGS shares, and all shares of the DACs I owned.  They have all been stolen.

There is currently an ongoing effort to increase Bitshares wallet security , since this type of incident is a threat to mainstream adoption for Bitshares.  Also, there is an effort for members in the community out of generosity to donate to their fellow  brother ( me educatedwarrior) to help recoup stolen funds.   

In order to keep track of all the work going on for short term and long term solutions to increase wallet security, and support to help recoup educatedwarriors losses; action items announced in this tread a listed below.  We hope this incident can be used for better protocols to be established in order to make our bitshares investments more secure and ensure mainstream adoption.

NEXT ACTIONS
None

ONGOING
educatedwarrior accepting donations at BTSX: codeblooded    (thanks in advance for donations to help me recoup my stolen funds. )
  ------Ex.  2000 PTS divided with our active 200 members is 10 pts for each donation, with current price x $1.7 = $17 bitUSD

WAITING FOR
Confirmation that YubiKey integration may be added into wallets (bytemaster)
Contact Trezor contacts to talk about possible integration with Bitshares wallets. ( cass)
Vesting AGS will probably eventually have to have a key update feature  (toast)


COMPLETE
11/16/2014 Post spreadsheet  or website of donations received for public review.
11/5/2014 EducatedWarrior took Liondani's recommendation and purchased YubiKee and is using with it with password manager and generator KeePass. Excellent increase in security.
    --- wallet now secure with 256 bit password
11/3/2014 Liondani recommended Short term solution -- use YubiKey with password manager like KeePass or LastPass
11/2/2014 Various members posed questions for forensic investigation (werneo , )

« on: October 16, 2014, 08:45:14 pm »
Okay, now I attempted to import my private key for my Bitcoin wallet that contributed to AGS, but I am not being rewarded.   I also tried importing the BTC wallet.dat file from within the KeyID client.


I found my address in the genesis block using the link Xeroc provided.   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keyid/keyid/master/libraries/blockchain/genesis_keyid.json
