Investors should see them only as possibilities.\n\n**How much can I earn?**\n------------------------\n\nYour return depends on your investment amount, the company’s exit valuation (how much the company is worth if and when the trigger event happens), and the terms of the SAFE.\n\nRisk note: If there is never an exit valuation you may never get a return on your investment.\n\n**Terms of the SAFE**\n---------------------\n\nEach company can customize its SAFE, including or excluding certain provisions. Most include a valuation cap and a discount, others simply specify the price at which shares can be acquired in the future. If the SAFE includes both a valuation cap and a discount, the provision more favorable to the investor applies if there is ever a trigger event.\n\nThe below are examples of terms found in a SAFE, you may see all or some of them.\n\n**Price per share**\n\nThe price per share denotes the cost per share at the time the investment converts into equity shares or cash. This means that investors, when a trigger event occurs, receive equity shares or cash as if they had purchased shares at the time of the SAFE purchase at the specified price.\n\n**Valuation cap**\n\nThe valuation cap specifies the maximum valuation at which the investment converts into equity shares or cash. This means that investors, when a trigger event occurs, receive equity shares or cash at the valuation cap price—no matter the valuation at which the company sells. Therefore, the higher the valuation of the company at the time of sale, the greater the investor’s return.\n\n**Discount**\n\nIf a trigger event for the company occurs, the discount provision gives investors equity shares (or equal value in cash) at a reduced price relative to what others pay at IPO or for the company’s acquisition.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n---\n\n### FAQ\n\n**When can I expect a return?**\n\nInvestors can earn a return, if a trigger event occurs at a certain price threshold. Although trigger events sometimes happen earlier, many don’t occur for 4-6 years after the initial investment, and some take even longer.\n\nRisk note: Startup investing is risky, so there’s no guarantee of a return on this kind of investment.\n\n**Can I sell my SAFE?**\n\nIn general, you can only sell a SAFE after one year from purchase date and only if you find a buyer, which might not be easy to do. Some SAFEs restrict liquidity further, check the terms and conditions.\n\n**Will my SAFE get converted in the startup’s next round?**\n\nIn the event of a subsequent equity financing round, the company will generally convert the SAFE. Please consult the SAFE for further details.\n\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false } ]

A wallet holds and secures the tokens you own. Your wallet consists of a **public address** which is used to identify your wallet and the tokens it holds. In fact, within the software of the token, there is a piece of data which keeps the address of the wallet which owns it.\n\n\n*(Disclaimer, this was an oversimplification of what a cryptocurrency wallet is. While it will suffice for the purpose of this explanation, you can find a more detailed and accurate explanation [here](https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-for-beginners/ethereum-wallets). This explanation should not be read as a guarantee that any offering on Republic Crypto will result in tokens being distributed )*\n\n\nWhen investing on Republic Crypto, we generally ask for a wallet address as part of the investment process. This address will be used by the issuing company to send you tokens if they are due to you.\n\n\nSetting up an ether wallet using MyEtherWallet\n----------------------------------------------\n\n\n*Before we give you instructions, we should make a few simple disclaimers, setting up your wallet is your personal responsibility - while Republic is providing this guide as an educational tool, we can't be responsible for for your wallet's set-up or security. You should do you own research and diligence before creating a wallet and when making decisions on how best to secure it.*\n\n\nIf you already have a wallet and just want to get the public address, click [here](#existing-wallet).\n\n\nIn the following set of (rather lengthy) instructions, we'll instruct you on how to create and Ethereum wallet using a website called MyEtherWallet and also how to find out the wallet's public address.\n\n\nHow to set up an ether wallet and get the address using MyEtherWallet\n\n\n1. Go to <https://www.myetherwallet.com> on your browser\n\n\n2. You should see a welcome screen like this:\n\n\n\nWe highly suggest you go through the information provided in this mini-tutorial. This website will make an ether wallet for you and give you the necessary details to access and use it, however it won't keep your wallet secure for you. That's your responsibility and this tutorial gives important information on how to do so.\n\n\nTo go through the tutorial, you press the blue button with the arrow on each page.\n\n\nIf you're already aware of what needs to be done in order to keep an ether wallet safe, they do give you the option to quit the tutorial by clicking on the tiny cross on the top right (we've pointed at it in the screenshot below.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n3. You should now see the MyEtherWallet homepage. The homepage happens to be the fastest way to create a new ether wallet.  \n\n\n\nYou start by entering a password in the box (we've pointed at it in the screenshot below). As with all passwords, make sure it's strong ([Here's a good article on how to do that](https://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-a-strong-password-1797681069)).\n\n\nOnce that's done, click on the \"Create New Wallet\" button.\n\n\n\n4. The next screen you're taken to will ask you to save you 'Keystore' file. Your keystore file is similar to a backup key to your house's front door. If you lose your main key, you can use it to access your house. However, if someone else has your backup key, they too can get into your house. Your keystore file is evidently not a physical object but a computer file. \n\n\n\nYou should download your keystore file and keep it in a safe location in your computer or on the cloud that only you have access to. Ideally you will make backups of this file and keep them in equally secure locations.\n\n\nTo get through this step you click the \"Download Keystore File (UTC/JSON)\" button.\n\n\n\nOne of two things will happen here. Either\n\n\n* Your browser will give you an option of where to save this file. If this is the case, choose a SECURE location.\n* Your browser will automatically save your file to the default download folder. We suggest that you immediately find this file, and move it to a more appropriate and secure folder.\n\n\nOnce you've downloaded the file, the \"I understand. Continue.\" button should go from a blush red to a more solid red. And you'll now be able to click it. Go ahead and do that.\n\n\n\n5. The next step involves your private key. If we continue the analogy with your house door, your private key is your main key. But unlike a physical key, it's significantly easier to duplicate. If someone knows your private key, they have as much access to the wallet as you do. Unlike a password, or a house key, you cannot change your private key.  \n\n\n\nWhat this means is that you should never let anyone see your private key, unless you're willing to give control of everything that is in your wallet to them at any point in time. We recommend that you keep a copy of your private key in an extremely secure location. A popular solution is to write down your private key on a piece of paper and store it in a safe only you have the combination to. But make multiple copies and be sure that you copied it accurately.\n\n\n\nMyEtherWallet is kind enough to provide an option to print your paper wallet. This is to make it easier for you to print or save a few important pieces of information about your wallet. We suggest that you click on the \"Print Paper Wallet\" button and save and / or print the image they give you. It will look something like this: \n\n\n\n\n*(p.s. don't get excited, there's nothing in this wallet, **but take note of how easy it is to access a wallet once you have the  private key**)* \n\n\n\nYou'll notice that your Address is also on the image. A public address is what is used to transfer tokens to your wallet. It is okay if other people know your address, it gives them no control over the contents.\n\n\nThe public address is what you will have to provide to Republic so that the company you invested in can transfer tokens to your wallet.\n\n\nAfter you've gone through the necessary steps to safeguard your private key, go ahead and click the \"Save Your Address\" button.\n\n\n6. You should now be taken to a screen that asks you to \"Unlock your wallet to see your address\"\n\n\nFor the sake of this tutorial we'll unlock your wallet using your private key.\n\n\nClick on the little circle to the left of the Private Key option on the menu:\n\n\n\nYou should see some information and a box appear on the right of the screen. Enter your private key into the box on the bottom right: \n\n\n\n\nIf you've entered a valid private key, the box's red outline will turn green and an unlock button will appear like so: \n\n\n\n\nClick it! \n\n\n\n7. If successful, a blue bar will temporarily appear at the bottom of your screen saying \"Wallet successfully decrypted.\n\n\nIf you scroll down now, you should be able to see all your wallet information. Including your address, your private key (which can be made visible by pressing the little eye icon), as well as your token balances.\n\n\n*We've highlighted your Account Address with a red box since this is what you will need to enter when you submit your wallet address to Republic.*\n\n\n\n### How to access your wallet on  MyEtherWallet if you already have one.\n\n\nIf you already have an ether wallet and you just want to get to the \"Wallet Information\" screen in step 7 it should be quite straight forward.\n\n\nWhen you see the homepage upon going to <https://www.myetherwallet.com>, click on the View Wallet Info button near the header (circled below).\n\n\n\nYou should be taken to the following screen: \n\n\n\n\nLook familiar?

[ { "text": "\n> [madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/d/652/1) which one do you prefer and why?\n> \n> \n\n\nmy personal preference is nodebb. however, flarum has come a long way in a short space of time, but really needs to shake the \"beta\" branding to be taken more seriously. what i do notice is that flarum has heightened interest in terms of the discussion form than nodebb does, although that is by no means any indication to say one is more popular than the other in my view.\n\n\n\n> [madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/d/652/1) is there certain applications that one is better for than the other?\n> \n> \n\n\nthere are some things that flarum excels at, and there are several key areas of functionality where nodebb clearly leads the race. nodebb is ***way*** faster than flarum - mostly because it is pre-compiled and does not use php at all. it also has superior functionality in the sense that it has a widget system, plus a decent way of installing plugiins that closely resembles wordpress.\n\n\n\n> [madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/d/652/1) do you find one easier to setup than the other?\n> \n> \n\n\nboth require cli to setup, but once installed, nodebb can be managed and upgraded (both core and plugins) from the web gui, meaning that in most cases, you no longer need the cli\n\n\n\n> [madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/d/652/1) is one more secure, more features?\n> \n> \n\n\nmost of the security in flarum is controlled by nginx or .htaccess configuration, whereas nodebb has a page in the web console dedicated to this. in terms of features, nodebb excels, and leaves flarum totally in the dark. for example, web socket support, chat, and several others are provided out of the box, meaning zero cost. flarum has something of an ecosystem for extensions, but it is nowhere near as comprehensive as nodebb.\n\n\nas you know, metabullet runs flarum, and phenomlab runs nodebb. look and feel-wise, phenomlab is the clear winner in terms of speed. here's a good example of a speed test\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nas you can see, phenomlab.com is way faster. not so much in the overall speed, but the delivery of content. for example, metabullet.com is tuned to deliver on what is critical for the platform to run, so 21 requests. phenomlab.com in fact carries much more functionality, hence the 82 requests, yet is 50% faster than flarum. both of these sites run on the same server, based out of germany (hence the location in the test). the ttfb (time to first byte) clearly speaks for itself. if you measure the \"waterfall\" between metabullet.com and phenomlab.com, the results are quite astonishing. the real reason for this is that php is not involved, which invariably makes for a much better experience in terms of speed.\n\n\nfinally, nodebb has it's own caching engine, which in my view, is by far superior that what flarum offers.\n\n\noverall, i much prefer nodebb because of it's extensibility, flexibility, and overall ability to become whatever you want it to be with little effort - and no need to keep making changes to the system to get desired functionality.\n\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[phenomlab](https://metabullet.com/d/652/2) that was an awesome rundown!

people would argue you don’t need antivirus when running ubuntu, is that correct?\n> \n> \n\n\ninteresting question. in fact, there's no right or wrong answer here when it comes to linux. in most cases, viruses (the dying breed they are - today's most prevalent attacks are in the form of malware and ransomware) are designed to run under a windows environment. the reason for this is that the windows ecosystem is by far the largest and most popular with (at one point) over 90% of households and businesses alike running it. in most cases, the figure is still high but windows usage has dropped somewhat thanks to mac, chromebook, linux (in various flavours). owing to the uptake of linux from individuals and businesses, there does in fact exist a small handful of malware tools designed to infect a linux kernel (the heart of the operating system).\n\n\nthese tools are mostly known as \"root kits\". the linux subsystem has for years adopted the concept of \"sudo\" (a fake elevator to run with root permissions under a standard account), which made it much harder for root kits to run unless they were granted explicit permission from the user. this made remote attacks (drive by) harder to execute, as the subsystem would simply reject the request.\n\n\nhowever, with the onset of malware that can use the bios or uefi (the central core of the system - without this, the system won't start at all as this contains a simple set of instructions that tell the computer where to find key resources such as memory, disks, etc, and which order they should be started in) to inject the operating system at startup with malicious code that runs silently in the background invisible to the user, the prospect for serious damage is exacerbated to the point where the operating system itself becomes irrelevant.\n\n\nit's possible to run linux with absolutely no protection whatsoever. what makes malicious attacks more difficult on a linux system is the monolithic kernel (in the sense that the kernel itself is compiled for the hardware in use rather then the general one provided by windows) so the available attack vectors are unique per instance because of this.\n\n\nthis means that there is no \"one size fits all\" attack vectors for linux, so it is inherently more secure than windows. however, the bottom line here is that there is no defence weaker than users themselves. you can have every bit of protection there is, but if a user decides they want to click that link for a free apple iphone, all of that security is effectively bypassed.\n\n\nlong explanation, but hopefully provides detail.\n\n ", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[phenomlab](https://metabullet.com/d/93/13) i used windows on my old desktop for a long time, until it broke and refused to boot one time. after spending about a week trying to reinstall it in different ways, i gave up, tried linux, and realized i really liked it. having control over my devices is important to me, plus i started using the command line much more, which is awesome!\n\n\nwindows seems to have an edge in enterprise, and is way ahead in gaming, but in the long term, i hope to see linux continue to gain prominence. perhaps eventually, we might finally see the year of the linux desktop?\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "\n> [askvortsov](https://metabullet.com/d/93/17) and is way ahead in gaming\n> \n> \n\n\nwith stadia anyone can game 😁\n\n ", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "\n> [askvortsov](https://metabullet.com/d/93/17) having control over my devices is important to me, plus i started using the command line much more, which is awesome!\n> \n> \n\n\noh yes !! i'm a cli junkie -

albeit, an expensive \"dress\" (if you will) and that has become a proprietary locked kernel over the years, and not shared publicly. microsoft could adopt the same principle, but this would require a huge shift in terms of engineering at their end, and would effectively spell the end of their own lines in my view - essentially, the death knell for their own product range.\n\n\nas a final point, one huge money spinner for microsoft is licensing. if their products used a linux kernel, they'd see a huge drop in revenue as they wouldn't be able to charge what they do for a product that is effectively classed as open source. apple have worked around this by effectively forking the entire bsd kernel and making it their own over the years. it's a huge investment, and not a direction i'd see a dominant market player like microsoft adopting. as a final point, think of all the hardware, drivers, etc that would need to be re-written -

that’s a skill that is acquired along with experience.\n\n\nthat same mantra applies to the technology industry as a whole. what we typically witness is that hiring managers have no real concept of what a particular department requires in terms of a candidate - they are actually looking for keyword matches in most cases, and this is where a significant chunk of the talent pool is effectively overlooked - or worse still, totally ignored.\n\n\nthose looking to hire should not rely on others to perform the vetting. not should they simply decline someone based on what’s in their cv or resume because they consider it “irrelevant”. just because it’s not a direct match doesn’t mean that person is unsuitable for the role. all this simply confirms is that hiring managers are dismissing those people with spark and ambition just because the quaint they have used doesn’t match their somewhat insane algorithm.\n\n\nas with any industry, there are always those candidates who are exceptional. my personal preference is to ask a question, and then use the response to that same question as an indicator of suitability. for example, i once asked a candidate what he would do if a printer wasn’t working.\n\n\nrather than recommending the initial troubleshooting steps like checking network cables, ensuring the machine had a valid ip address, or if the printers are connected to a central printing server, that the spooler for example is running……. this guy confidently informed me that he’d reinstall active directory 😲\n\n\nit was pretty clear that this guy want going to be a good fit based on the response. that would have been like using a bulldozer to pick up a china cup - not to mention the fallout and complete disintegration of the directory services !\n\n\nmy point here is that i’d have preferred a not structured approach. when i interview candidates, i’m much more interested in their thought process and methodology rather than a simple “right” answer they found during a google search. to me, is you understand the underlying participles of how printers work, it’s much easier to find the root problem and much quicker than coming up with a draconian approach like reinstalling windows ad.\n\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "nothing against that candidate, but reinstalling active directory would not have been my first go to. i totally agree with you. i wish all companies would start thinking this way.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[@madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/u/madchatthew) looking to resurrect this discussion if you’re still interested. 🙂\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[phenomlab](https://metabullet.com/d/5/10) sorry that this took me so long to reply. working nights and having to sleep all day messes up my timeline. i am usually not even sure what day it is…haha. i am interested and i am hoping someday to either do the technology side of nursing with the software and such, but maybe even actually getting out of nursing altogether.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/d/5/11) sounds great. would be honoured to help you on that journey.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "i will have to upload my current resume and see what you think about it and how i could make some changes to it. i also need to continue working on the revamp of my portfolio web page. so much to do. i wish i never had to sleep. i would get so much done.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false } ]
