## My entry for December PFK
I Wrote a script to help operators check if they have claimed all the ECDSA rewards from interval 1 and 2 and make the redemption process easier https://github.com/benlongstaff/keep-claim
I am Building a bot to help operators redeem keeps that become under collateralised.
I added detailed documentation on how to dev against a forked version of Keeps mainnet locally to help other devs. https://github.com/benlongstaff/keep-collateral
AAVE Proposal: We submitted a new proposal to AAVE for TBTC, in a joint effort with @ramaruro and @EstebanK (https://governance.aave.com/t/proposal-add-tbtc-as-collateral-in-aave-v2/1829).
CREAM Proposal for TBTC: I worked with @ramaruro and @EstebanK to successfully add TBTC as an collateral asset on Cream, in order for everybody use TBTC as a collateral for lending and borrowing. (https://discord.com/channels/590951101600235531/723193368812978186/790690091541594163) (https://snapshot.page/#/cream/proposal/QmPiVqdEXUKguQPiTgefE6S4A4KqoYBfM7q5v9hrZVMm23)
Wrote this article on the new stake drop mechanics (its currently in review with editor for Kraken) https://medium.com/@ben_longstaff/200-apy-in-the-first-2-intervals-of-keep-network-d122720fcec9
I am running a node on mainnet (details available via DM).
30.09.2020
I went through the deposit and redemption flows on main net several times to capture error messages and provide UX feedback. https://github.com/keep-network/tbtc-dapp/issues/374
https://github.com/keep-network/tbtc-dapp/issues/373
Did QA on the updated TBTC site and did a small PR to update the links that got missed from testnet to mainnet
https://github.com/keep-network/tbtc-website/commit/9367c2a0305642b861fe9b37a08d2d020bcb39dd
Wrote up the process of taking out smart contract insurance for TBTC
https://medium.com/@ben_longstaff/insurance-for-blockchain-smart-contracts-using-nexus-mutual-to-insure-using-tbtc-d01604af5859?source=friends_link&sk=2c4e7feacfcb8d92d0eea3e099546ace
Shared some of the complexities of running a node on main net, in the process of editing it into an article https://discordapp.com/channels/590951101600235531/675355362534096917/758255000169611306
Currently writing up my comments from
https://governance.aave.com/t/aip-2-proposal-to-add-support-for-renbtc/568/10 https://discordapp.com/channels/590951101600235531/675355362534096917/758260189006004276
Into a blog post to explain the difference between RenBTC and TBTC.

I added some comments on the rewards PR
https://github.com/keep-network/keep-core/pull/1863
and turned it into an article
https://medium.com/@ben_longstaff/crypto-yield-farmers-take-note-understanding-the-tbtc-and-keep-network-rewards-mechanics-6042e9dc5d97?sk=9489efad70ff36544d1844d31d66ea19
I have random beacon running on testnet
02.07.2020
I wrote this article with a lot of screenshots assuming no knowledge about crypto so a beginner could get a node running on testnet . https://medium.com/@ben_longstaff/a-beginners-quick-start-guide-to-staking-on-the-keep-network-testnet-using-digitalocean-5a74ca60adc3
I have random beacon running on testnet.
29.05.2020
After reading the whitepaper many times and getting a bunch of feedback from the team, I put together a visual explainer to understand what is actually happening in sMPC.
Recently I published it on medium
https://medium.com/@ben_longstaff/secure-multi-party-computation-smpc-explained-visually-ecde155fc7c0?source=friends_link&sk=b5456a01ac0f0ac2b3c82f50214dd828
I have been trying to get the random beacon running with Brave but still troubleshooting some issues. Currently documenting the process with screenshots to turn it into a quickstart guide.
