Streamlined the process and calculated the time required to reach max bonus for DOP protocol testnet (base reward + 2000% bonus), which would be 20 hours max.
Note: using just one browser (I use chrome) and create new profile for each DOP wallet. No VPN.
The process and required time:
1. Create new chrome profile, download metamask extension and create new metamask wallet: 56s
2. Create new DOP wallet through BTB's link, and link to metamask: 1m11s
3. Complete step 1 of the tasks by creating new X account and following DOP: 1m27s
To make sure people don't go crazy here, the free drops are usually not as valuable. usually the big ones are when you take risk by using a bridge, staking etc.
Dunno if this was covered before (I'm thinking it was since the note about VPN above?) but I happened to read the ToS for DOP.org Testnet and saw these conditions:
"(iii)...You must not be a citizen or a resident of the U.S."
and
"(c) U.S. citizens and residents are expressly excluded from receiving DOP tokens."
Feel like every new protocol says this these days in ToS, and I didn't use a geo loc VPN and there were no "blocks" from doing the tasks. Have no idea if this will become significant once airdrop time is underway though.(?)
Easier said then done. Pitched crypto (specifically ETH) to a group of people at work the other day, they laughed in my face like I was deranged. Good reminder that we are still early. Ultimately I’ll have the last laugh
Do the first go around (8 tasks) Using Chrome, Metamask, a VPN, your current X account.
Then CHANGE each of those variables on each go around. You can actually do this an nth number of turns.
So on 2nd go around: Brave, Metamask wallet 2, new VPN connection, new X account....you get the idea.
Cycle through Chrome, Brave, Firefox, and Edge + plus new VPN, new X. That's set "1".
Then create profiles in each of those browsers. Allowing you to cycle through the browsers with each new variable.
Then if you want, you can start using virtual machines, and cycle the above in each machine.
It's deranged, but that's what I intend to do while my family sleeps during Christmas eve and Christmas.
Cheers!
Pro tip: if you really wanna you can run ads on a guide and then have randos do it, it avoid the manual work but not sure if it can be done profitably given the unknow reward value. But just an idea if you're an affiliate by trade.
Follow up for anyone that is having the same problem. Once you get this message then restart your computer and change your VPN to a different country. Load a new profile in Chrome. Start over, (new MM, new DOP) don't try to reconnect the one that failed. I can then get anywhere between 3-5 new successful connections before I have to rinse and repeat. Best guess is it's something with VPN IPs but I wasn't going to test further. Juice probably not worth the squeeze but good practice at least.
I for this error on the third account using Brave profiles and different Accounts (addresses) of the same MM wallet. Different VON every time.
Changing the browser and MM wallet fixed it.
HOWEVER the recruited friends counter reset from 1 to 0. So my first referral run seems to have been aborted. They must have some back end validation against farming.
Assuming you plan to do referral step yourself by creating new wallets…Wallet A requires three referrals let’s call them Wallet B1, B2, B3. Wallet A can only qualify the eighth step if wallet B1, B2, and B3 satisfy the eighth step, which requires them each to have three referring wallets C1-C9. Those won’t ever satisfy the eight step either. Don’t understand how you can ever satisfy the requirements on wallet A because you’ll never be able to satisfy eighth step on the referring wallets. Any thoughts on how to solve would be greatly appreciated.
I'm at 60% bonus so far with creating new brave profiles, changing VPNs, new metamask and X accounts each time. You get the bonus when the wallets you've invited also invite 3 new wallets - but the wallets they invite don't seem to have to satisfy the 8th step, just connecting wallet and X account works.
You don't even need to complete step 1 on the sub-wallets. Just connect it to metamask and that's it. Do it with 3 new sub-wallets and you'll complete step 8 on your main one.
Okay I'm going to ask the dumb question, please bear with me - why use a VPN in this case? Two reasons that come to mind are 1) DOP might look at IPs to verify that your 'friends' don't have the same IP as you do, and 2) only certain countries might qualify for the airdrop (in the case of an airdrop being blocked from a country/region as we've seen in the past). I appreciate any insight about this, thank you!
No immediate reason. It works fine on the frontend without a VPN, or only using a single address.
To your point #1, my concern was backend analysis. I switched VPNs for every account because a) it's easy, and b) to be less obvious that I was farming. It's the same reason I made up different email addresses and used different passwords. Why make it easy to ID you as farmer when it takes 2 seconds to change the variables?
Thank you for the reply. It set my mind at ease a bit since I had already went through the steps Bull outlined to qualify for the airdrop, but didn't use VPN. (Also found out later that I received the email confirmation from DOP saying I qualify so looking good but we'll see what happens.)
Your points make sense. Would be a good thing to do and easy/quick/cheap. Could see crypto projects getting wise to farming and disqualifying users from airdrops in the future. So best to get comfortable using VPN now. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
Update after creating a least a couple dozen accounts: the testnet is super buggy. I've been unable to push 6-8 accounts through to Step 8 for a variety of reasons: testnet is busy, not enough SepoliaEth, random other errors. It could be that they're catching on to me and/or farmers, or it could be it's just buggy. Either way, lots of time wasted doing nothing.
Bare minimum to qualify: push 1 account through Steps 1-8, with Step 8 being "get the rewards link". Then create 3 profiles on Chrome, each with it's own Metamask wallet. Using your main account's rewards link, connect each sub-account's Metamask to the testnet and don't bother with any other step.
If you don't get an email stating you qualified for rewards, you didn't qualify.
Completed but I don’t have 3 friends who are going to do this haha. Maybe someone could help me out and use my link below. Otherwise I’ll just start creating different accounts like the article says. Thanks Bull
Finished the DOP process. Ran into a few wrinkles but managed to figure it out. Thanks for the potentially profitable tip. Also good exercise in going through the steps.

3. Complete step 1 of the tasks by creating new X account and following DOP: 1m27s
4. Complete step 2 to step 7 (encrypt, decrypt assets, etc.): 3m2s
5. Complete step 8 by doing above no.1 and 2 times three, but using your own link instead of BTB's: (56s + 1m11s) x 3 = 3m59s
Total = 10m35s, but let's round it to 11m.
100 DOP wallets created through the generated link needs to complete all of the 8 steps to reach max bonus, so 11m x 100 = ~18.5 hours
Taking into account the time you might be spending to create your first DOP wallet, etc. max required time should be 20 hours.
Don't know till when it'll last, but you only need to do it for 3~4 hours/day for 5 days, so there's still time until Jan 1st.
Will it be worth it? No clue

The longest part is actually to create the Twitter accounts... The verification part is a pain.
Wouldn't you need to make a bunch of twitter accounts too?
any clue as to why I can't send for step 6?

Doing DOP rewards is going to be fun.

Have you had any of the "Wallet address already been used!" messages for a new MM? Haven't figured out how to get around that yet.
Follow up for anyone that is having the same problem. Once you get this message then restart your computer and change your VPN to a different country. Load a new profile in Chrome. Start over, (new MM, new DOP) don't try to reconnect the one that failed. I can then get anywhere between 3-5 new successful connections before I have to rinse and repeat.

how to complete the step 7 I am stuck
I'm also stuck here. No decrypt amount
Did you use up all the tokens you encrypted? Ideally you encrypt less than your max.
can't you just use a ton of new brave profiles + VPN?
Not sure but it may work.

How are you creating X accounts quickly tho
Google accs I already had. But apparently you don’t need to connect x account just MetaMask
Super helpful. Thanks!
You don't even need to complete step 1 on the sub-wallets. Just connect it to metamask and that's it. Do it with 3 new sub-wallets and you'll complete step 8 on your main one.
Yep I'm seeing the same thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks BTB. Just completed! Off to tell the family and friends about the magic of computer coins!
Doing this today, thank you!

I’m Assuming we shouldn’t have anything valuable in the FRAME wallets
Just some eth to claim but you have to remember which wallets you traded NFTs on
Can you trade nft's now or does it need to be within a specific time frame?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Completed but I don’t have 3 friends who are going to do this haha. Maybe someone could help me out and use my link below. Otherwise I’ll just start creating different accounts like the article says. Thanks Bull

Dude just spin up a new account, you don't even need friends
Yep already started! Also gonna have my brother bring his laptop to Christmas and help him get set up.
Don't even need that just use a few browsers: Chrome, Brave etc.
That’s true I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
Does there need to be ETH in each account, or only the primary account? Thanks!
Just tested. You don't need any ETH in the accounts if you just want the signups. You may need ETH if you plan to go past the Twitter step
I put like 20$ ETH in each account. Not sure if needed but that amount worked
Finished the DOP process. Ran into a few wrinkles but managed to figure it out. Thanks for the potentially profitable tip. Also good exercise in going through the steps.
Is an ENS considered an NFT for the sake of the airdrop?

please use for dop
Anyone needs a DOP invite, here you go:

Is artemis the best place to view this? Thanks for the response.
signing in metamask does not work,anybody else had this issue?
