1. Redeeming Seedgerminater-crowdfunding tokens; OR NOT❓

@cicisaja
Cool... but I still don't know how to claim the tokens😆 and I think since there's no expiration date so.. I'll wait till the perfect time to claim it.
I thought it was automatically sent to our SM account because we have linked the wallet... but seems like not everything mobile friendly😕

@freedomshift

It might not be mobile friendly.
I tried different things but I think that the key is to getting your steemmonsters.com account to connect to the wallet and hence the tokens is to open the linked wallet and wait a while for it to process the connected wallet information.
I got the same thing at first:

I later noticed that the address to send is not activated - it does not exist yet❗
So, this address is where you would send the tokens to IF you do not have the linked wallet.
But, as I did not go through with paying the 0.01 TRX to activate this wallet, I went back to steemmonsters.com account, refreshed the page, and then - voila - the redeeming choices appeared:



So, do not activate this wallet❗
Open the linked wallet and refresh -
it'll be available to redeem - 1 or more - you need to change the number❗
One more thing - that wallet address changes each time❗

2. More about DEC❗

The release of Dark Energy Crystal (DEC)

Promote Your Posts with the Dark Energy Crystals Steem Engine Token! - @steemmonsters

Read through to the end to see how you can promote your posts with DEC, or even participate and earn DEC with this new setup!

Post promotion example.

@freedomshift
100 DEC

upvote from @steemmonsters

1.22% => $0.17 / 1% * 1.22% = $0.20
Please note:

IF I have not delegated my SP, my 100% upvote will only give a $0.10 vote value - much less than promoting with 100 DEC❗

Post promotion example.

600 DEC to promote this post -

upvote from @steemmonsters (5.95% * $16.87 => $1.00) and trail -

Post promotion example.

6,000 DEC => 50.89% * $17.20 = $8.75.

Post promotion example.

@freedomshift
Starting with the new support mechanism - 600 DEC

upvote from @steemmonsters: 8.39% of $16.71 => $1.40 - I could never come close to supporting a post with my SP❗

@freedomshift
sharkmonsters upvote @marblely/my-thursday-favourites-26-contest-a-chan… (4.19%) 5 hours ago
0d5c2b31 smonsters upvote @marblely/my-thursday-favourites-26-contest-a-chan… (1%) 5 hours ago
79381b37 steemmonsters upvote @marblely/my-thursday-favourites-26-contest-a-chan… (8.39%) 5 hours ago

3. Delegate SP to @steemmonsters

I started by delegating 1,000 SP and then increased to 2,000 SP and recently increased to 3,500 4,600 SP as undelegated SP took 7 days to return to me. The benefit of delegating SP to @steemmonsters is it earns DEC daily which can then be used as a currency (approximate value: $0.001 - 10 DEC for a penny U$D or 1,000 DEC for a U$D $1)❗ 4,600 SP delegation to @steemmonsters has earned 935.765 DEC today❗

4. Steem Engine -

https://steem-engine.com/?p=balances&a=freedomshift

Steem Engine is where you send tokens to trade. STEEM or SBD from your steemit account must be "deposited" (transfer and convert @ a cost of 1%) to Steem Engine before they are available to trade.

My Steem Engine Wallet

Steem Engine Market for DEC -

https://steem-engine.com/?p=market&t=DEC

My Steem Engine Wallet - DEC history

My transaction history to and from @splinterlands (shown above) - +754.793 DEC was earned for delegating 3,500 SP to @steemmonsters. - 100 DEC, - 600 DEC are for "post promotion". trades is to and from market - shown below.

@freedomshift

I placed a trade at 0.00246 STEEM / DEC and received
20,709.042 DEC for 49.997 STEEM = 0.00241 STEEM / DEC

My order for ORB @ 5.55 STEEM (times 4) bid is waiting for 6.5 STEEM / ORB to come down in price - last trade was 5.9 STEEM / ORB.

5. Keychain - a wonderful App - MUST-have AFAIAC❗

Steem Keychain makes it easy!

Chrome and Brave Extension
Firefox Extension

Steem Keychain (created by Matt, Stoodkev, and Aggroed) makes interacting with Steem-based apps a breeze.

#ccc members will have the benefits of playing Steem Monsters without having to first spend money to buy the packs and cards. Please let me know if you are interested in this benefit.

======================================================

Previously (content quoted below for reference) ...

Last September, just around the HF20, SteemMonsters announced a Crowd Funding - Kick Starter campaign that I was not able to participate - I saw the post by @stever82 after HF20.

The minimum contribution was $250 and for your contributions, you would have received special cards and privileges. Since I missed it by just a few days, I have been bugging Yabapmatt- SM Founder on SteemMonsters discord ever since, every now and then.

So, FINALLY (long story short), I was sent this link -

https://seedgerminator.sesameseed.org/

Which is this current round of funding on the TRON blockchain.

UPDATE
April 15 2019 - A sneak peak on the card stats for the Red Dragon exclusive SEED promotional card. It includes two attacks and a new ability!
https://steempeak.com/steemmonsters/@steemmonsters/exclusive-seedgerminator-promo-card-stats-sneak-peak

April 17, 2019 Juliun Brabon talked with Matt Rosen an Aggroed Co-Founders of Splinterlands, in a live AMA (ask me anything) on the Sesameseed YouTube channel. http://bit.ly/2IA0QBr

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Splinterlands will be the rebranding of the popular game Steem Monsters.

FULL PLAN
Sesameseed and SEEDGerminator are welcoming Splinterlands to the TRON ecosystem!

Source <<< go there for details and consider joining IF it is still available.

Details are also in this PDF - THE FINAL LISTING DOCUMENT FOR SPLINTERLANDS

However, this is just the beginning of an interesting and exciting journey over three days❗

After reading THE FINAL LISTING DOCUMENT FOR SPLINTERLANDS, I was skimming and missed some details, I thought the only way to get in was to obtain the SEED token somehow.

I want to contribute to a project and I don’t have SEED tokens. What can I do?

Sesameseed and SEEDGerminator do not sell SEED tokens. SEED tokens can be earned by voting for Sesameseed for TRON Super Representative or by buying them on the open market.

Information on voting for Sesameseed can be found at https://sesameseed.org.

Source

So, on to https://sesameseed.org I went

Live Rewards Calculator

The Tron Foundation will be rewarding Super Representatives 32 TRX per block generated, in addition to a candidate reward of 115,200 TRX for all SR candidates delivered in proportion to total votes cast in the Super Representative elections every 6 hours.

Sesameseed will distribute 80% of all rewards back to the Sesameseed community in proportion to your votes cast for Sesameseed.

I put in 100,000 TRON (TRX) tokens into the calculator and I will get:

SEED PER WEEK
46
SEED PER MONTH
203
SEED PER YEAR
2,442

Well, how do I get 10,000 SEED tokens in the next few days❓

• Someone, who I will not name, offered to sell SEED 1 STEEM for 4 SEED.
• I can buy SEED in the open market❓
• I can buy TRON (TRX) and then trade❗

But, here is this warning -

ADDITIONAL

WARNING: DO NOT CONTRIBUTE FROM AN EXCHANGE OR ANY WALLET WHERE YOU DO NOT HOLD THE PRIVATE KEY. SENDING TRX OR SEED FROM AN EXCHANGE ACCOUNT CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION. THE PRIVATE KEY HOLDER MAY NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACCESS THE PACK REDEMPTION TOKENS. NO REFUNDS CAN BE PROVIDED FOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR LOSS OF PACK REDEMPTION TOKENS.

Source

So, I need to get a TRON (TRX) wallet FIRST❗

I found this site that I can create one - https://www.tronlink.org/#/

Since I use my Chromebook for my online activities that are not IT development, I chose the Chrome Extension (in English) TRX Wallet <<< Click here! Note: IF you clicked on the button for [Installing] Chrome Extension at the lower left corner, you might end up here - which is in Chinese.

Still here❓ It gets complicated and "better"❗ Side Track started here ...

Prior to this, I have some ETC in a ClassicMask Chrome extension wallet. Then, it stopped showing the ETC that I had transferred there to receive airdrop of CLO tokens during an ETC hard-fork. The wallet was no longer supported, it seemed. So, sometime back, I found out that I can restore my wallet into MEW, MyEtherWallet❗ But, in this process, I looked at MEW and it was no longer showing ETC in that wallet.

No long story short here ...

I started searching for my ETC❗

I can see my ETC here - http://gastracker.io/addr/0xadb8ea4a1e713df99af600ea4d31db72355102ce

So, I again restored my ETC wallet but this time it is an online wallet.

Restoring a wallet can be done by using:

• private key
• mnemonics
• JSON file (IF you have saved that file)
• • The JSON file was most likely encrypted with a passcode when you created it and you'll need to provide it to unlock your JSON file.

Reason for sidetrack: This is totally unrelated to SteemMonsters or SplinterLands, BUT, it is important to know and be warned that do not rush in all this and record every step and every address, key, and always double check everything❗ I had a scare when the receiving address at the exchange changed from the time that I made the transfer to the time that I checked❗ I thought I sent my ETC to never never land due to a hacker putting another address instead of the one for my ETC account at the exchange❗

Still here❓

Back to SEED, TRON (TRX) ...

I logged into my bittrex (https://bittrex.com) account and transferred some ETH to exchange for TRX. The price was 0.00016 ETH/TRX (rounded) and I bought some TRX. But then, I was not able to transfer them to my TronLink wallet created by folloing instructions here - https://medium.com/tron-foundation/how-to-vote-for-super-representatives-d81d14d9743d

This persisted for two days and finally, I had to get TRX some other way❗

I found that I could get them on the Binance Exchange (https://www.binance.com/en) where I have an account but have not logged in for months. It is perhaps one of the more, if not the most, secure exchange now that I am really unhappy with Bittrex Exchange. ETH had gone from $167 to $172 and on Binance, ETH/TRX had gone from 0.000161 ETH/TRX to now 0.000153 ETH/TRX.

I bought some so that I can trade my TRX for SEED❗

From the TronLink wallet that I created using the Chrome extension, I can click on an icon to get to a peer to peer exchange, TRXMarket and to trade TRX < = > SEED. SEED is currently trading for 3.2 to 3.3 TRX. Note: You will need to sign in with TronLink to authorize trading. The tokene will go directly from and to your TronLink Wallet.

So, after trying to get the best prices for my TRX for SEED, I finally have purchased enough TRX to trade for 10,000 SEED and invested in Splinterlands❗

I wish you will consider doing the same but take care not to make any mistakes while rushing to do so❗

I bought and transferred 67,811 TRX to my TronLink wallet. Current balance: 718 TRX and 399 SEEDplus the seedgerminator tokens.

TRX was about $0.026 and now about $0.034. SEED went from 3.5 TRX / SEED to 1.7 TRX / SEED❗

IF you are interested in joining a pool because you do not have enough TRX or SEED, I will consider accepting a lower amount in TRX, SEED, STEEM or SBD to join either the TRX pool or the SEED pool in 100 TRX or 100 SEED units. Conversion will depend on market conditions. Note: This pool is only available to #ccc members or @teampossible members❗ And, IF you are not an existing member of either, please join. All the Best❗

IF you are able to contribute 500 TRX directly, Do IT❗

You'll get 8 Beta edition booster packs worth U$D $16 and 8 Limited Edition Promo cards (page 8 of 13 of THE FINAL LISTING DOCUMENT FOR SPLINTERLANDS )

I have TRX and SEED that I can use to help #ccc members or @teampossible members for exchange, as a loan or gift.

Update #1

The tokens have been distributed:

Token	quantity	ID
XIOT	11	1002342
Beta Pack	564	1002350
Promo	5,107	1002351
Starter Pack	1	1002352

The next step is the release of Dark Energy Crystal (DEC) and the start of token redemption for the SteemMonsters cards and packs.

The release of Dark Energy Crystal (DEC), the start of token redemption for the SteemMonsters cards and packs, and More❗

The release of Dark Energy Crystal (DEC)

Promote Your Posts with the Dark Energy Crystals Steem Engine Token! - @steemmonsters

Read through to the end to see how you can promote your posts with DEC, or even participate and earn DEC with this new setup!

• Send a minimum of 100 DEC tokens to @splinterlands to purchase a vote from the @steemmonsters account.
• DEC will be valued at $0.0015 for calculating vote values, so there should be an instant profit buying DEC on the market and using it to purchase votes.
• Delegate Steem Power to @steemmonsters to earn a portion of the DEC taken in each day for buying votes.

I delegated to @steemmonsters and this is what I got ! - @tsnaks

My comments from my activities - trade and delegation

I delegated 500 SP

I got 111.320 DEC the first day.

I traded 5.26 STEEM for 2010 DEC

I got 137.668 DEC the second day.

I got 198.153 DEC the third day.

Read more ...

What is it?
Matt has edited the Post Promoter software so that it can now accept Steem Engine tokens to purchase upvotes. This is a great step for both the Splinterlands and the entire Steem Engine and SCOT community.
You can now transfer a minimum of 100 DEC to @splinterlands with a post URL in the memo and it will vote exactly like a bid bot. Note that even though you must send the DEC to the @splinterlands account, the vote will still come from the @steemmonsters account.
DEC sent to @splinterlands to purchase a vote will be valued at $0.0015 ...
Please note that vote values in USD terms are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with the STEEM market prices.
Like a typical bid-based voting bot, it will vote whenever it gets to 100% voting power,... It will limit the votes to a maximum 20% ROI (based on the $0.0015 DEC value) ...

Note: 20% ROI for post promotion and 20% ROI per year for earning DEC from SP delegation.

Congratulations
The operation has been successfully broadcasted.

Next - wait for the upvote from @steemmonsters.

260 DEC bought 2.94% upvote from @steemmonsters: 15d6b1bb steemmonsters upvote @freedomshift/my-long-and-exciting-journey-to-stee… (2.94%) - value: about $0.50 ATM

The start of token redemption for the SteemMonsters cards and packs

Redeem Your SeedGerminator Campaign Reward Tokens Now! - @steemmonsters

My comments on the post

@freedomshift

That's Wonderful!
About "Long Term Thinking" - or "Redeem Now or Later - Much Later❓"
Is there an expiration date on these tokens?
Can I redeem them one or a few at a time?
What are the disadvantages of waiting to long to redeem these tokens, if any?
I have Beta Tokens for over 500 Beta Packs -
If I do not redeem 500 Beta Packs or more, will I be a Maverick?
Or, do I have to redeem 500 or more packs all at once?

@yabapmatt

There is no expiration date on the tokens and you can redeem as little or as many as you want at a time. I believe we are going to be reworking the qualifications for being a maverick, although that is up to Aggroed, but in either case if you have 500+ beta packs you should have enough to qualify.

@freedomshift
So, I'll need to redeem 500+ Beta packs and not to wait to redeem the tokens to be a Maverick?

Beta packs are now able to be transferred from the game to the TRON tokens so that they may be traded on Tron exchanges.

So, I can redeem 500+ Beta Packs, become a maverick, and then transferred them from the game to the TRON tokens so that they may be traded on Tron exchanges?

@yabapmatt

No you do not need to redeem the tokens at this time.

Redeeming tokens can be confusing and if it helps, I'll write a post later or next week.

Beta Pack Tokens - source - Redeem Your SeedGerminator Campaign Reward Tokens Now! - @steemmonsters
"These are pretty straight-forward. If you redeem them then you will receive the corresponding amount of Beta edition booster packs in the game. You can open them or transfer them from the "OPEN" menu option."
"Additionally, Beta packs are now able to be transferred from the game to the TRON tokens so that they may be traded on Tron exchanges. Beta packs are currently listed on the Tron Watch Market Exchange.'
