Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Zircuit Ceremony!

Begin the following process only after receiving notification that it is your turn to contribute through a message in this issue. Please follow instructions only from the issue's assignee.

Once notified, you have 1 hour to confirm by posting a message in this issue that you have started your contribution. If you do not confirm within one hour, your contribution slot might be suspended.

Prerequisites

Get sources

git clone https://github.com/zircuit-labs/ceremony.git
cd ceremony

Generate an SSH Key - Optional

Contributors are required to provide an SSH public key to upload their contributions to our servers.

If you don't have one, you can generate a new SSH public key as:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 256 -f ./id_ceremony -N "" -C ""

Next, edit the issue description and report as SSH Public key the output of the command:

cat ./id_ceremony.pub

Please note that if you use Docker to compute your contribution, the key will be automatically added to the Docker image during the build process and available in the working directory. If you already have an SSH key and prefer not to generate a new one, you will need to import your existing key manually.

Build

To contribute, you will need a total of at least 33 GiB of combined RAM and SWAP memory available. If you are using Docker, ensure that sufficient resources are allocated when running images.

From sources

cargo install --locked --path . --root .
export PATH="./bin:${PATH}"
chmod +x download.sh

With Docker

docker build . -t "ceremony"

Contribute

Before proceeding, please post a comment on this issue to notify us that you have started your contribution.

Only in the case you are using Docker, you need to first run the built image:

docker run -it "ceremony"

Download the latest contribution:

./download.sh

and verify that the hash of the downloaded contribution matches the one reported here.

Then, compute your contribution:

export RUST_LOG=info
contribute -c ./contributions

The last command will create a contribution using the default settings. For additional options and configurations, please refer to instructions.

If you don't plan to actively use your computer during the contribution phase, please read this section to avoid performance degradation due to power-saving settings.

Upload Contribution

After completing your contribution, upload it to our server using your SSH key:

sftp -i ./id_ceremony [email protected]
put ./contributions/[YOUR_CONTRIBUTION_ID].csrs
quit

If your upload is interrupted, you can use reput in place of put to resume it.

Once the upload is complete, post a comment on this issue to notify us that your contribution has been uploaded.

[zvorcuit]

Is there file ./contributions/0000000019.csrs? If so, how large is it? Can you please remove it and then try again (without download, as hash matches for ./contributions/0000000020.csrs)

[Pelz01]

or if there is another alternative

[zvorcuit]

@Pelz01 ok, suspending your contribution for now.
Please, feel free to ask for server details from someone. I would also recommend you to run test contribution before confirming availability again.

[Pelz01]

am i permitted to ask for server details under someone else’s issue (comment box)?

i don’t want to disrupt anything

[zvorcuit]

Dear @Pelz01, contributions period will soon come to an end and we will not be able to process your contribution in time. If you still want to contribute, please add comment to next random contribution, where we gather community-generated randomness and we compute a verifiable contribution from it, before the contribution period ends.

[Pelz01]

I will like to contribute, but i don’t have or know a strong server😢

[zvorcuit]

Dear @Pelz01 don’t worry, by mere comment to that issue you are contributing in randomness.

[Pelz01]

i have dropped a comment, thank you!

[Pelz01]

is there any way to know that it has been recorded? or just a comment is enough?

[zvorcuit]

Dear @Pelz01 comment is enough, once publicly verifiable contribution is created we will post the details.

[Pelz01]

okay, thank you, let me go to bed.

[zvorcuit]

The ceremony ended! Thank you for your interest in being a part of it!
