♾️ What is the Internet Computer

From https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide/concepts/what-is-ic#

The Internet Computer is a blockchain that enables developers, organizations, and entrepreneurs to build and deploy secure, autonomous, and tamper-proof software programs.

As an application developer, you might find it useful to think of the Internet Computer as providing the following key elements:

An open communication protocol that enables general-purpose computations to run transparently directly on the internet A network that runs the protocol to provide computing capacity—for example, the hardware, CPU, and memory required to run programs—through independent data centers. A globally-accessible and scalable blockchain platform for running software applications.

ICDevs.org believes in a future where a significant portion of enterprise and consumer information management and commerces occurs with the Internet Computer involved. Our goal is that most people will be using the Internet Computer without knowing that they are doing so. To reach this goal we need a significant number of well-trained and well-equipped developers to build the infrastructure that seamlessly melds real-world activity into trustless computing infrastructure.

💰 Bounties

ICDevs.org funds code bounties. These bounties are meant to be both challenges to growing IC developers and avenues to further the scientific discovery of tech around the IC. You can help expand the number of bounties we can offer by donating.

Directly sponsor a bounty:

If you have a piece of functionality that you need for your application and would like to sponsor a bounty, please reach out to us with specific details around endowing a bounty. A 20 ICP bounty can be endowed by donating 100 ICP to ICDevs. 20 ICP goes directly to the first bounty, 80 goes into a bounty 8 year neuorn. From this bounty neuron 2/3 of the maturity will fund more bounties and 1/3 will go into the general ICDevs.org endowment neuron.

Accelerate a bounty:

DFINITY has awarded ICDevs.org a Foundation Grant. For each ICP donated to ICDevs on behalf of an open bounty, we will add 2 ICP to that bounty from the grant. (Maximums Apply) Pick your favorite bounty and spend DFINITY’s money. Donations are tax-deductible for US Citizens and Corporations.

Giving Levels

Developers

1. Developer Advisory Board Members(limited) - Liquid Donation of 60+ ICP or Dedicate a 100+ ICP - 8 year neuron
2. Developer Advisor - 2.5 Liquid ICP or Dedicate a 18+ ICP Neuron(minimum lock 2 years) - This is a bit high because the maturity takes a long time to be claimable at low ICP levels. We are trying to keep this at ~$100/year and the purpose is to show a long term commitment to the IC.
3. Anything Helps - Reduce your potential tax liability by dedicating your ICP Neurons and avoiding hard to report income. You can undedicate at any time.

Non-Developers

1. Executive Advisors(limited) - Liquid Donation of 20K ICP or dedicate a 50K ICP 8 year Neuron.
2. Recognized Donor - Liquid Donation of 500+ ICP or Dedicate a 1K ICP Neuron - Name on the ICDevs.org Site
3. Anything Helps - Reduce your potential tax liability by dedicating your ICP Neurons and avoiding hard to report income. You can undedicate at any time.

Dedicate a Neuron

Step 1. Add ICdevs.org as a hot key to your neuron(so we can see id):

using dfx:

Replace YOUR_NEURON_HERE in the following string, then run the command:

dfx canister –network=ic –no-wallet call rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai manage_neuron “(record {id=opt (record {id=YOUR_NEURON_HERE:nat64}); command=opt (variant {Configure=(record {operation=opt (variant {AddHotKey=record {new_hot_key=opt principal "ufef3-ic2bp-enpmy-5ezyw-z4p5q-mzgsv-w24y3-2v2b6-ktjpk-cjik4-kae"}})})})})”

using nns:

Navigate to your neuron and click “Add Hotkey”.

Enter: ufef3-ic2bp-enpmy-5ezyw-z4p5q-mzgsv-w24y3-2v2b6-ktjpk-cjik4-kae

Step 2. Follow our neuron for your “Manage neuron topic”

using dfx:

Replace YOUR_NEURON_HERE in the following string, then run the command:

dfx canister –network=ic –no-wallet call rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai manage_neuron “(record {id=opt (record {id=YOUR_NEURON_HERE:nat64}); command=opt (variant {Follow=record {topic=1:int32; followees=vec {record{id=14231996777861930328:nat64}}}})})”

Step 2. Follow our neuron for your “Manage neuron topic”

using nns:

Follow Neuron 14231996777861930328 for the Manage Neuron Topic(instructions). This is a bit more complicated as it still requires using the web console. Using chrome:

1. Log into the NNS and navigate to the neuron you want to dedicate.
2. Right click and “Inspect”
3. Go to the Sources Tab and navigate to top/nns.ic0.app/ic_agent.js
4. Search for “this.follow = async” (about line 1793)
5. Add a breakpoint on the next line by clicking the line number. This line should say something like “await updateRequestHandler_1.submitUpdateRequest(……”
6. Leave the console open and go to the “Following” box.
7. Click Edit Followees.
8. Click A topic for which you have 0 followees. ie “Exchange Rate”
9. Expand the topic and click Add Followee
10. Put 14231996777861930328 in the Followee Address box and click “Follow Neuron”.
11. Your breakpoint should trigger.
12. Hold your mouse over the ‘request’ variable on the line. This should bring up an interface to edit the properties of the request.
13. Change the topic to 1.
14. Click the “play” button.
15. Confirm that your neuron now follows 14231996777861930328 for the Manage Neuron Topic.

🗳️ NNS Governance

ICDevs.org participates in the governance of the NNS. Our goal is to vote in the interest of our developer community on NNS governance issues that affect developers.

Our Neuron

You may follow our neuron 14231996777861930328 via the NNS and we will vote for you on governance topics

NNS Governance FAQ

Q: When will you vote?

A: We vote on governance issues that have some direct or indirect bering on developers in the IC ecosystem.

Q: What happens if you don’t vote?

A: We currently follow the cycle_dao and ICPMN neurons for governance topics that we decided to not proactively vote on. Both of these neurons are committed to voting on all governance proposals. The developer advisory committee may add additional follow neurons in the future.

Q: How do you decide to vote?

A: Once Bounty #2 is complete we will be submitting votes to the will of our developer advisory council. You can learn more about becoming part of the developer advisory council here. Our advisory board will make recommendations and then the members of the committee will vote. Once a majority is reached, the vote will be executed by the system.
