đŞ Chainik: An Explorer for Minter Coins
Chainik.io (beta) is a CoinMarketCap for Minter that equips you with advanced coin stats, rankings, and charts.
The service does not use a full node. Instead, it recalculates the parameters of all coins on a transaction-to-transaction basis, reconstructing the blockchain. This allows Chainik to have the most recent and accurate data, not depend on external resources, and show superb performance.
â Widgets: summary on the state of all coins
â Ranking of coins with data visualization
â Filtering by coin type and more
â TradingView charts with different timeframes
â All necessary coin parameters
â Accurate calculations related to the transactions, down to the pip

Minter Information (#minfo)
With the MINFO standard, all projects can provide detailed information about themselves to Minter users, catalogs, and services.
It will help tens of services and aggregators get access to the most recent information about your project. Just donât forget to keep the file up-to-date.
Although all fields are optional, we suggest that you use as many as possible. Once youâre all set, upload the file to GitHub or the root directory of your website.

Minter Push Hackathon: Merchants
Stage four is about merchants, or, more precisely, the ability to exchange received coins for goods and services in a simple, fast, and easy-to-understand way.
The term âmerchantsâ will become key to us this year, just as key as âliquidity providers.â The network must be able to have moneyâin the broad sense of the wordâdeposited and withdrawn.
The task for the teams is to add support for as many interesting and, preferably, unique options for exchanging coins for goods and services as possible. Prioritize common senseâi.e., the options we couldnât live our everyday lives without. Some examples may include: mobile connection, taxi/car sharing, food, entertainment (movies, consoles such as Xbox or PlayStation, App Store/Play Market), beauty services, etc.
Payment systems, electronic money, and bank cards are not merchants but liquidity providers.
Try to put yourself in the userâs shoes. What will they get right away, and not in an hour or the next day? Stick to the idea of instant economicsâchoose -> press/tap -> receive.
Another hint is to focus on something global, something that we all generally use quite oftenâfor example, Steam gift cards or a single system for topping up mobile account balances (see BitRefill. They have an API, by the way).
The goal is to integrate a merchant in an engaging way, not to become one. Feel free to team up with those who have already made some progress in that. It is important that users that receive your push understand what they can do with itâor, in other words, realize its value. If you create a preset for gamers, make sure the first thing they see is, âYou can spend this money on Steam.â
This stage will last until Friday evening (February 28). The winner will be announced on Saturday, February 29. The deadline is final & wonât change.
Prizes:
đĽst place: 400 000 BIP
đĽnd place: 200 000 BIP
đĽrd place: 100 000 BIP
Another four incentive prizes (50 000 BIP each) will be awarded as well.

Minter Push Hackathon: Customization
Stage three is all about customizing everything you did in the past two.
First and foremost, challengers need to polish their code, publish it on GitHub, and release decent documentation (preferably in English) so that other members of the community could build from there. These teams will win our immediate attention.
Second, services must be provided as white label offerings so that anyone could issue their own customized push using your server.
Third, a flexible API is a must as it will give advanced users freedom in making skins or implementing the product in bots, apps, etc.
As you can see, we donât go deep into details here. The main idea is that other teams start using your advancements, embedding them into their projects.
The deadline is Saturday evening (February 15), and this time, itâs final. Winners will be announced Sunday.
Prizes:
1st place: 200K
Two 2nd places: 100K each
Four 3rd places: 50K each
BONUS: on February 17, the fourth stage of MinterPush will start. At this point, we will not reveal the objectives but what we can share is that you will have 10 days, and the prize pool will be increased.
P.S. There will be stage five as well.

đ Minter Wiki: New Arrival
KeepMySeed is an application providing users with NFC-enabled secure storage capabilities.
The project development team has implemented the idea of storing sensitive dataâsuch as passwordsâon an NFC tag.
NFC tags are off-line devices that operate without an internal power source. For activation and uninterrupted performance (data transmission), they must be within the range of the active deviceâe.g., an ordinary smartphone.
Check out the latest Minter.Wiki article breaking down KeepMySeedâs features and functionality.

We plan to launch the new minter.network website as sort of a wiki. From developers, for developers.
It will have the following sections:
â How-tos (guidelines on a wide range of topics)
â Solutions (existing and future solutionsâe.g., explorers, wallets, pushes)
â Tools (all tools for development and maintenance)
â Docs (multi-level technical documentation, for community-developed services and solutions as well)
The websiteâs target audience will be developers, while minter.org will be aimed at ordinary users.

Texas is live!
An updated test network has been successfully launched Friday: texasnet.explorer.minter.network/blocks/1
If you did not do anything with your balance within the last 24 hours, it must ALMOST mirror the one on the testnet. See DAO address as an example: texasnet.explorer.minter.network/address/Mx18467bbb64a8edf890201d526c35957d82be3d95
During the final transition to the new version of the network, not a single coin will be lost as the operation will stop, and all validators will have one hour to get ready for the launch with the full data.
On this test network, BIP is replaced with MNT. We strongly recommend you DO NOT sign in to the testnet Console using your actual seed phrase.

Minterâs Three Layers
Letâs discuss the ideology that we developed to provide a greater understanding of who is doing what within the community. Minter has three layers of programs:
â Coreâi.e., Mainnet supported by validators with native coin BIPâand a single API for services. On-chain, by team
â Services, AKA âSidechains.â Integrated into Mainnet, they run on top of their own coins but can also interact with one another via a unified protocol allowing them to complete tasks as part of a decentralized solution. On-chain, by community
â Solutions. Explorers, wallets, liquidity providers, merchants, MinterID, MinterPush, and other vital elements that operate outside of the chain yet utilize its capacities. Off-chain
Those three layers are where Minter lefts offâand projects for users pick up. Weâre introducing a clear distinction between end-users (transfers, loyalty points, games, achievements, etc.) and developers (core, API, services, solutions).
Core and API for inter-service communication are developed and maintained by the main team. Sidechain-based, Mainnet-integrated services can be developed by anyone. And the most crucial layerâsolutions such as explorers, wallets, and pushesâis spearheaded by our cool dev community!

Minter Push Hackathon: Sharing
The purpose of the hackathonâs stage two is the development of the sharing conceptâi.e., the ultimate solution to the usability problem for both distributor and receiver. As there are no strict guidelines to follow, the team will evaluate your original ideas and the realization of those ideas.
Some you may borrow from the list below:
â Instant distribution. In one tap/click/image, with no unnecessary complications
â Maximum reach. Once youâve performed the action, you are broadcasting to thousands of people at once
â Integration with common systemsâe.g., e-mail and SMS
â Automatization. Someone gets a link as a result of some action
â Conditions. The user has to fill out a form, answer the questions, confirm something
â Dynamics. The link changes as time passesâfor example, throughout a live streamâand expires afterward
â Forwarding. The wallet can be moved to a new link and forwarded to someone
Metadata should be given special consideration as all links and QR codes must look pretty, proper titles and descriptions included. The user has to understand in advance where the link will take them.
Donât forget to place a CTA (call-to-action) to create a transfer as it may potentially boost the virality of your project, but donât be annoying.
You can also implement targeted sharing, meaning when someone opens a wallet via your link, the most important action is prioritizedâe.g., an offer to make in-game purchases. This would prove convenient for those who struck partnerships, for example, Time Loop can post wallets promoting 1001 and vice versa.
With QRs, there is scope for imagination. The most simple case might be something like âScan this code and claim USD 10.â
Itâs best to keep links as short as possible, 4â6 characters give over 100 billion combinations.
The more advanced of you may enable viewing link stats, itâs when you add a â+â at the end of the URL and see its analytics: date of creation, number of clicks, locations, languages, devices, etc. If youâve ever used bit.ly, you get the idea.
The prizes are as follows:
1st placeâ200Đ
2nd place (two)â100Đ each
3rd place (six)â50Đ each
Total: 9 winners, 700Đ BIP to be awarded.
The deadline is Saturday evening. On Sunday, the team will make decisions. Early submissions will have greater chancesâwe are humans as well, and we often need some time to figure out how everything works, try out all the features, etc.
If you got any questions, donât hesitate to get in touch with @seo2z.
The application form is available at www.minter.link/pushhackathon.
We may miss something at first, so please feel free to describe in detail what exactly you have done.

Stage 1: Core. Results
1st place, 200K
minterpush.com (wallet example)
+ fast and easy, top-up via cheques, QR codes, selection of equivalent currency (ruble, dollar, etc.), individual pages for each integration instead of pop-up windows
- not found
1st place, 200Đ (yes, there are two first places)
push.scoring.mn (wallet example)
+ several coins, history, passwords, API, cool minor features (such as profiles when sending)
- itâd be probably reasonable to work on interfaces and make them easier
2nd place, 100Đ
minterpush.ru (wallet example, password: 123456)
+ advanced mode (multi-push)
2nd place, 100Đ (yes, there are two of them as well)
wallet.btcsecure.io (wallet example, password: 123)
+ interesting potential, likely strong security
- complicated obligatory sign-in, long page addresses, no ruble equivalent
3rd places, 50Đ each
push.gifts (wallet example)
+ potentially interesting functionality (according to features outlined in the application form)
phewapp.org (wallet example)
+ no distinctive advantages, except for maybe profile name, history through cookies, passwords
push.money
+ great API, but with no interface and demo
push.reef.mn (wallet example)
Total: 800Đ.
Sharing objectives will be published shortly.
Among other things, the team paid close attention to the speed of the work, giving priority to those who managed to meet the initial deadline.
Once again, congratulations on making it to the second stage.
