In the airdrop form I am only asked to input my semux address and the signed message. How does anyone know which bitcoin address is connected to the signature if I do not also enter that? Is there some kind of error here?
The signature contains info on both your Btc address and your semux address. Hence the “signing of the semux address with your bitcoin address”  That’s why you need to sign the semux address with a specific btc address. Yes, it's very unusual, and a lot of users are puzzled because of that. I think dev should put a very short explanation why you don't need to input your BTC address... |

Thanks @cryptokat.dev! I managed to figure out what the password is all about. Quite excited about this. Just wished I'm no longer newbie status here.  |

You can extract the BTC address from the signature, hence you only need the signature. |

What is the best way to collect a lot of SEM coins right now?
There is three-way actually. First is bitcoin airdrop. Second signature campaign. And the last one is buying from otc thread. |

I'm new to semux. I only heard about it recently when looking over posts about upcoming BTC airdrops. I've reviewed posts made by the semux Bitcointalk user, skimmed over the various FAQs and other websites, but I still have a few questions about the project.
It seems like instead of "mining", there is a "forging" process that allows by special nodes called Validators. To be a Validator, it seems just must first register as a Delegate (burning 1000 SEM) and then get enough "votes" from other nodes (or your own I assume) to rank amongst the top 64 vote getters. For each SEM you own, you can cast a vote. When you vote, that SEM becomes "locked" and cannot be spent unless you go back and "unvote" for that delegate.
Does a node (wallet) get anything in return for their votes? Do they get part of the 1 SEM (soon to be 3 SEM) block rewards from the Validators? Or do the block rewards go solely to the Validator who forged it?
If you don't get anything in return for your vote, I'm not understanding the point. It would seem the Delegates would most likely just vote for themselves (if having enough SEM) to stay being a Validator.
Sorry for the probably basic question, but I'm just trying to learn more about the system. Thanks.

It is a good question. The answer is just the validator gets the block reward (currently 1 SEM son 3 SEM), but it is an interesting idea that the voters get part of it. There are forging pools that do this (somehow). I could be wrong so wait for dev to final answer. |

Just registered as a delegate to test it out, unfortunately I do not have enough SEM to become validator, but if a few other people here who do not have enough SEM themselves want to team up and vote for me I will share whatever I make with you.
PM me with how much you can vote and I will try to get this organized if there is enough interest.

Why does it say that the link to your Discord server is expired? Is there a problem with my client?

Here is a pool I found. https://semux.info/poolNot sure if you get paid for voting if you don’t register, waiting for an answer to that one myself. Thanks for the information about the pool. I just got my BTC airdrop and went ahead and split my SEMs up amongst the five validators in the pool. Though I did notice of their validators says that it has been offline for a week ("madrid"). I wonder if I should unvote those. I also went ahead and registered to be a delegate as well. I have nowhere near enough to become a validator, but it should be a fun test to see if anyone actually votes for my delegate out of the blue. (I don't know if it is against the rules or not to mention my delegate's name, so I'll leave that out just in case.) Will the UI let you get to a point where you can actually lock your entire SEM balance? I'm wondering if there are safeguards in the software to prevent you from doing it. If you lock your entire balance, you would never be able to pay the transaction fee to "unvote" and you would be stuck until you actually acquire more SEM. |

There are forging pools that do this (somehow). I could be wrong so wait for dev to final answer. It could be a good idea to consider adding such a feature directly to Semux wallet. Maybe an optional validator setting to share block reward proportionally with the voting accounts. I agree that would be a very nice feature. By having it built into the system, you wouldn't have to worry whether the pool you are looking at can be trusted to pay you fairly. |
