Complete daily tasks and help push the Nym mixnet to its limits

Nym is building privacy into the network layer of the internet, enabling a secure internet for everyone. You can be part of this global effort by helping us test the mixnet and at the same time, earn NYM tokens!

Two days ago, we began testing the absolute limits of the Nym mixnet by encouraging our community to download and use NymConnect. The app provides an early (Beta) interface for connecting ordinary applications like the Telegram desktop chat to the powerful global mixnet.

Nym core team now invites everyone** with access to a laptop or desktop to join in to push the Nym mixnet to its limits!

Prize pool: up to 40k NYM tokens

Dates: 21st — 31st of December 2022 (23h59 UTC)

Here is what you need to do:

Download and install NymConnect
Connect Telegram to NymConnect. Check this video on how you can do so.
Click the Test & Earn button
Follow the instructions in the pop up window. There will be a simple 2min task every day until the 31st of December. Complete the daily task to increase your chances to win!
Post your answer on Twitter with #PrivacyLovesCompany or the Nym Telegram and include your reference number.

The most creative posts will earn NYM tokens, with additional rewards distributed to a random selection. We need a lot of people to stress test the system, because #PrivacyLovesCompany — so the more people join, the bigger the prize pool!

1k-5k contributors:

top 5 get 1000 NYMs
ten randomly selected submissions get 200 NYMs

5k-10k contributors:

top 5 get 2000 NYMs
twenty randomly selected submissions get 300NYMs

10k and more:

top 5 submissions get 5000 NYMs (with space for a bonus if we get outstanding submissions)
thirty randomly selected submissions get 500NYMs

Contributors will receive their tokens in January 2023, following KYC (regional exclusions apply, see below for more details).

What is happening in the background:

As a first step towards generalised network layer privacy, Nym has launched NymConnect, a Beta app to stress test the Nym mixnet — a powerful, global mixnet run by a community of operators across the world.

When you open NymConnect and select that you want to participate, this opens a proxy to a site that can only be accessed via NymConnect over the Nym mixnet. This helps direct traffic through the mixnet and allows us to stress-test it to see how much load it can handle and where we can optimise. The proxy site then sends you back a task that is only visible to people using the mixnet, so that you can prove that you have actually used NymConnect and are eligible for rewards.

Thank you for being part of the Nym community and making the new internet a free and dignified place for us all.

The Nym Network is powered by the NYM Token, a utility token that is used to access and operate the Nym mixnet. NYM should only be used within the Nym mixnet. NYM is not a general purpose payment mechanism, an investment asset, or a cryptocurrency.

*Test & Earn participation and rewards are only available to individuals who do not reside in locations that makes them ineligible to participate or receive prizes, including the United States, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic. Nym may request that participants provide relevant information as necessary, and can only process rewards once cleared by the Nym compliance team.
