This should cover the basics: https://www.namebase.io/blog/tutorial-1-what-is-handshake-an...

HNS coins can be sold on Namebase Pro or on a few Chinese smaller exchanges. They can also be used for TLD auctions on Namebase. Hopefully many more use cases to come.


Eligibility:

The top ~250,000 users on github have had their SSH keys and PGP added to a merkle tree. Out of those ~250,000 users, ~175,000 of them had valid SSH and PGP keys at the time of tree creation.

If you had 15 or more followers on github during the week of 2019-02-04, your github SSH & PGP keys are included in the merkle tree.


Also:

> As a final addition, Hacker News accounts which are linked with Keybase accounts are included in the tree provided they were ~1.5 years old during the crawl.

But it's not entirely clear to me how I find out whether I was included or not, or where I'd be able to sell it.



> With the final mainnet key list, every open source developer will receive 4,246.994314 HNS coins from the airdrop.

I don't understand. Is there a definition for 'open source developer', or is everyone in the definition you provided getting this?

When will it happen?


Not affiliated in any way with the project. Airdrop is active as we speak.


Irritating color scheme.
