 All right, welcome blockchain village. Thank you. My name is John Nash or Krypton Asher called me for development for the red coin team. Just like to Shout out and have a thank you for the invite. We're invited here for the capture the flag event We're putting together a little bit of our technology stack for for the enlightened out there to to go through what we're we're able to present for our Project. I thought I'd just give you a little bit of a background for those who aren't familiar with red coin. We've been Came about in 2014 there's a Walk from like when originally the goal of sitting about to be a social currency For people to basically have the reward one another across social networks Red coin is a blockchain is a load of low-fee to free transactions and relatively quick blockchain with a block timing of about one minute We originally started as a proof of work coin and now we've moved across the Proof of stake that happened about nine months or so after inception and we've been running for Since 2014 as a proof of stake with a couple of changes. We've modified the purpose state At least once in that time to basically help subsidize the developers team through an additional stake reward One of the as I mentioned one of the core goals of red coin is to Reward social interaction and we've been able to come at that from a couple of different ways where originally we're kind of a centralized block process of hosted Hosted site operating as a tip bot But we have a longer term ambition to be able to Have a more seamless integration in with different social media platforms basically either through browser browser extension and having a injected Scripts on pages or or directly through applications like mobile apps And trying to integrate that in with the blockchain so that everything we do is you know confirmed against the blockchain Would I pretend to be a social media platform as such more of a layer on top of that so that we can interact across The likes of Facebook and Twitter reddit, etc. And not be limited to any one of those Our core focus at the moment has been to really try to achieve that integration and one of the ways that we see people struggle with wallets is obviously with Standard addresses being the long string of characters are hard to memorize is to Put an ID behind that that's a little bit more memorable and even being able to extend that across different social media channels so that Your different aliases across social media Can be linked together We're using We call it red ID and basically those IDs are Transacted and the data being immutable against the blockchain For for this event really What we're standing up as a test that environment where people can Get involved in what we're we've got running on the test net and being able to Identify your data structures are in there within the blockchain and also being able to even have a little bit of a history lesson on What we've what we've done For the event Myself and Jay will be available throughout the course of the weekend and if you have any questions then you can sort of reach out to us at any time either through telegram or or Discord We have obviously other other social channels, but I guess for the deaf call. That's about the most appropriate Jake and I hand over to you now and you can Continue on absolutely. Thanks very much John and Thank you everybody who's attending deaf con blockchain village and specifically our little bit of it It's been a bit of a challenge getting ourselves ready in our technology really to bring here on the fly it's been a heck of a learning experience and Like our our ongoing journey through the the cryptocurrency world. There are new challenges and new new difficulties every day We did actually pivot from being on site at the event at deaf con with our Setup and personnel to doing it remotely as we're we're doing that today You'll see if you go to deaf con red coin calm all the instructions the Not only the support documentation and access to tools and things like that for this capture the flag event But also the link to our CTF D site you can click through their register if you'd like and I believe as soon as this video is posted Go to town and see if you can you can capture some of those flags and earn the rewards We will say a couple of things about that The Flags at least some of them Maybe in the format of private keys at least if you do the proper extraction and those private keys as they appear They do have red coin associated with them on our blockchain So apart from Reporting the flags and back into the challenges and the system to get credit for that You may want to go collect that prize if you happen to be the first one to that flag For some of them and we'll speak to this also we are going to be giving out direct prizes Keeping track of all of that on a scoreboard. You'll see on that same system and as well our Staff our creative folks have decided to create Some deaf con specific NFTs that will be awarded to the top three finishers in the contest Those will be available afterwards we need to get theory and addresses to transfer those over to you but again is a little bit of a Thank you for participating and some of the new technology. We're working on We really did want to see what we could do to make it special and that includes not just giving out some of our Amazing red coin, but some NFTs and some other technology benefits I Did want to say that we ran into some problems with our setup here So part of that functionality that we were very much looking forward to showing off and having Let's say messed around with is a bit non-functional a bit non-functional so around the name registration aspect of it if you're using the software the wallet is fully functional if you Require test red doing transactions anything like that The instructions in there. Oh, we don't have a faucet. Actually, you can contact any of our team members. We'll send you some over and That's not necessary for the the operation and and the challenges, but it is I'll leave it at that. I Would say a big part of why we're here is to encourage some education In into what is cryptocurrency in the relation to security cyber security and all the aspects of it a lot of our space relies on Solid security and on fundamental concepts that everybody who's going to be watching this this talk is familiar with Maybe some that you're not some of the applied cryptography and blockchain techniques That's all stuff that you can learn building on the experience that you have you know in the the basics sort of fundamentals in the field and It's that reason that we decided it really makes a lot of sense to do as much outreach to groups That are technically minded and really looking to as we are kind of change the world and improve it You know make that that Application of technology, you know for a reason that's in part why red point exists and that's something that you know We wanted to share this this Solution as we built it so that it can be improved so it can be you know made better and solve the challenges that we have So it's definitely a learning experience on both sides of the fence here We hope to educate folks that are unclear on sort of how the the pieces fit together in the blockchain works And at the same time, you know learn how to improve the security because clearly there are going to be Aspects that you know will will be educated on as well It is that you know important in our space crypto as well as in technology that we're sharing that knowledge across the board We pride ourselves as a project and one of the original legacy crypto projects as John had said back from 2014 on Being an open-source project. We are all volunteers And and you know our our bywords really are honesty openness and transparency Through the software through the operation of the blockchain through who we are and what we do and it's that sort of kindred spirit We've got certainly with that early hacker spirit, and I know that having been part of that group as well Of really wanting to to seek change and induce, you know, what what positivity that we can From the aspects of cybersecurity, you know, there's always going to be opportunities to to get involved in in the things that are happening in Cryptocurrency and blockchain especially in DeFi especially in some of these more complicated and interesting projects And they need to be safe and everybody really is focused on that as a priority That's a big part of why the folks that are you know You guys are watching these videos and attending DEF CON and in point of fact why John and I in the team We're very excited to be engaged and part of DEF CON as well. It is a sharing Experience, you know across the board and I've already learned quite a bit myself. So We would open up the the it's we can't do it in person But if anybody in the audience or doing these challenges and the capture the flag Event that we've put together is interested in talking to either ourselves or other people we can make introductions to in the Cryptocurrency in the blockchain space the only thing we always say is don't hesitate reach out, you know Talk to somebody on the team. There is room to grow and room to learn and nobody really is that expert in all things That's another part of why we're we're you know trying to encourage really anybody with it with an interest and you Know a skill set that applies the space needs you and we don't grow without everybody sort of pitching in and doing their part whether paid To join a company in the space or working as a volunteer for projects that really catch your fancy and make you You know wake up in the morning wanting to work That's what red coin has been for John and I and the rest of the team for years at this point because it is an example of being able to take some very simple tech and And and make a change make a difference in the world So we do hope that you guys will take a look at what we've put out there for you again, the websites are deaf con dot red coin comm and the Management site if you'd like to sign up is linked to that It is deaf con dash ct fd Dot red coin comm and that should be in the in the write-up as well in the documentation But again deaf con dot red coin comm all the docs and the links and the tools and the link to that site I believe it is open for competition now, so you can have at it We John and I and some of the other members will be in the discord chat We're also on telegram in the telegram chat in our own red coin channels. It's a whole big deal today So feel free to reach out or if you have more questions about what we're doing and why we're doing it The concepts of registering a name why it needs to be decentralized I mean a lot of people who are watching this may know those answers a lot of you may be able to tell us how to do it better that's really you know the kind of Relationship we have with the community and to that end, you know, everybody's welcome and you don't have to own red coin to be a redhead I Think that's basically all I've got I will say thank you just in in Wrapping up for the folks that helped us put this together Ron and Nathan blockchain village and the Ridiculous team at deaf con and everybody that was involved in doing this I have been impressed beyond belief with the talent expertise Arrayed at this event and hope to do this again next year likely in person We hope that things are a little bit less crazy and other than that, you know, let's all do some learning and Earn some points and some red coin and there is there is about a thousand dollars in red coin Depending where the price goes, you know today tomorrow on the next day There is about a thousand dollars in red coin up for grabs in this competition and again We will be repurposing we have to pull some of the challenges that were related to that red ID function It's not working and the top I Think I think five makes sense because we had to pull five so those top five will also get a reward straight and red point and Really other than that. Thank you for for taking the time and Everybody stay safe and have a great day
