General Questions about the Po.et Project

@lautarodragan

it's pretty simple

kushmandu

@kushmandu

I would appreciate that.

@lautarodragan thanks.

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

no worries. let's start here: do you know how to get an ethereum account, or already have one?

kushmandu

@kushmandu

I have one, as well as metamask

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

awesome

then all you need to do is do the Proof of POE

kushmandu

@kushmandu

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

for security reasons you may want to create a new ethereum address specifically for this

but that's not a requirement

kushmandu

@kushmandu

ok, I will do that.

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

then, in explorer.poetnetwork.net, you'll need to log in and go to your settings

click on Connect With MyEtherWallet and copy the message (you can just click on the big COPY button at the right of it)

on a separate tab/window, navigate to https://www.myetherwallet.com/access-my-wallet, choose MetaMask (or whatever method you wish to use)...

kushmandu

@kushmandu

I did these things. Continue please

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

sure

now just go to the Sign Message screen in MEW

and paste the message you copied for Explorer earlier

and go ahead and sign it

kushmandu

@kushmandu

I missed a step.

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

you should get something like this in return

{
  "address": "your address here",
  "msg": "Proof of POE ...",
  "sig": "0x a very long hex",
  "version": "3",
  "signer": "MEW"
}

hmm

what step?

kushmandu

@kushmandu

I never got any characters in the message bar on the POET set up page. So I ahve nothing to copy and paste in the MEW sign

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

you should see something like this

it may take a couple of seconds for the message to load

kushmandu

@kushmandu

Nope I nevr got any characters, as a matter of record, as soon as i clicked connect with myetherwallet "invalid token" message in red comes up. I don't know what that is...

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

oh, that means the session expired

you need to log out and back in

that UX is pending some improvement

kushmandu

@kushmandu

got it.

ON the MEW page what exactly am I doing.? Sorry for the piece work, I am doing my best.

I figured it out.

kushmandu

@kushmandu

Verified baby. Thanks, Lautaro!

Wallet is linked , but my POE balance is zero.

I will keep you updated.

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

Awesome! Great news

kushmandu

@kushmandu

Yeah. I am on the exchange now waiting for the ETH to hit so I can cop some POE yo!

Hi, I'm testing poet and I have one question. I have my API key and my wallet connected. First I made a claim with some text. When I use API with my token and work/workId I get my post but there isn't the content text. Why ?

Documentation say :
{
"name": "string",
"datePublished": "2019-08-25T20:21:55.899Z",
"dateCreated": "2019-08-25T20:21:55.899Z",
"author": "string",
"tags": "string",
"content": "string"
}

I get :
{
"about": [
"https://ipfs.poetnetwork.net/ipfs/..."
],
"hash": "string",
"name": "string",
"datePublished": "date",
"dateCreated": "date,
"author": "string"
}

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

Hey Mat, the content is uploaded separately to IPFS now. What you see in the about is a link to the file with the contents

The “content” property is basically a facilitator for uploading a file, kind of a demo thing to simplify integrations and to offer hosting for small files

You could also upload the contents to IPFS manually from your side and create the about section. This is what Explorer does in the case of file uploads

Either way is perfectly fine

MatMatDev

@MatMatDev

Thank you. I'm using Php with Frost API for PHP. It seem to be old but now I understand.

You could also upload the contents to IPFS manually from your side and create the about section. This is what Explorer does in the case of file uploads

It is interessant. Like this ?

$work = $this->poet->createWork([
     'name' => $name,
      'datePublished' => $datePublished,
      'dateCreated' => $dateCreated,
       'author' => $author,
       'tags' => $tags,
        'content' => $content //Text, old way or ...
            'about' => [$url] //$url contain a link to my file on ipfs, new way
])

"about" is an array (in PHP). What's happen if I give two or more url ? like 'about' => [$url1, $url2]

Thank you and sorry for my little english.

Lautaro Dragan

@lautarodragan

Hey @MatMatDev no worries. The PHP library may be outdated indeed. Your example looks perfectly fine :)

And yes, you could provide many URLs. Nothing really happens in Frost and the Poet Node as they don't really do anything with them, but in an upcoming feature for Explorer the work screen will be changed and a graph will be rendered instead. In that case you'll be able to see how the claim links to the two files.
