Captain’s Log Day 6/7/8?: Wow, wow, wow, feels like it has been 100 years since the fiasco that was the United States election. Sorry to disappoint anyone reading and expecting daily updates…as much as I would love to…it is too much pressure, and the whole purpose of this journey is to provide a god’s honest mind dump of the experience of a complete noob in tech becoming a keep3r. As such, I am happy to feel less pressure and more brain focus to speak again 
So…the million dollar question: What’s going on with my journey? In a nutshell, patience, waiting, reading, learning, researching, and allowing myself to be distracted by other topics. What does this mean?
It means, that @spalladino and Andre and other resources/coders are kicking ass, are coding templates, and creating a UI for the next generation of Keep3rs to copy paste code into Autotasks and make passive income. For the time being, I am unbonding all my keep3r and getting ready for Defender and the Open Zeppelin community to provide a nice clean experience to provide KP3R to a relayer, bond and unbond it, and then run jobs.
Okay, so if my advice/current spot is to just wait patiently what should we be doing: I don’t know about you but here is what to do while we wait for the smarties (@spalladino you are killing it man! we noobs need click and easy interface, lol I do not even know how to move my eth out of the many relayers I made as a noob)
-
Save money and buy as much KP3R as I can. I know Andre is creating “boost” incentives for how much KP3R you bond…so for now if you Bond and work with 200+ KP3R you get an additional 2.5 gas payment per job completed. So, yes…hopefully the price can keep dropping so us true workers/not speculators can get enough bonded to show the LPs of the jobs that we mean business

Read and keep up with any and all things KP3R/Keep3r related. Most used resources:
2a. Andre’s Medium: https://andrecronje.medium.com/
2b. OpenZeppelin Community Forum on Keep3r (this is great as we develop)
2c. https://gov.yearn.finance/c/projects/keep3r/20 (this is absolute gold, go through it, read what is going on as smart people work together asking questions and providing solution. Andre is also active with adding information)
2d. Yearn Discord join the Discord and following the #keep3r chat panel. There is a really smart and cooperative coder in their named @xKx9x (he is a true gem in addition to @spallidino.)
2e. Andre’s Github with Keep3r…it is a tad technical, but we can learn and grow with community support. Andre post’s progress and you get to see first hand as code gets added to the Keep3r ecosystem. -
Stay calm, provide value to the community with my posts and helping others with simple errors. And finally, I am proud this community is growing and encouraging cooperative help. @Bolo and others are asking the key questions, pointing out the key issues, and even giving us all updated and user friendly templates for us to become a stable force in the decentralized button keeper world
As I conclude, I wanted to explicitly list out a better understanding of what we are on the verge of: Programmers (even those with billion dollar Dapps) need non-malicious people to run certain call functions. (press a figurative button to keep the Dapp running smoothly)…This project known as Keep3r will allow Andre and many other dapps to further decentralize and get the Decentralize ecosystem bolstered.
Happy to continue on this journey Keep3rs!!
p.s. KP3R is the token, Keep3r is the project and the ‘worker’ addresses that work the jobs
