Learn and earn crypto from Figment | 如何在Figment学习Blockchain编程和获得加密货币
NOTE: 也想给Leofinance那边的人看，所以有英文的部分。中文在下面
English
Figment is a platform that teaches users to get their foot into the development of blockchain applications. Blockchain projects coordinate with Figment and provide training courses for their own blockchain. Users can also receive cryptos after they complete the entire course.
I have participated three courses so far. They are Avalanche, Polkadot, and lastly Tezos, in which I finished yesterday.
With the unstable crypto market right now, what is the better way to earn crypto other than getting them for free and learning some coding for fun?
The Tezos pathway is fairly easy to complete. As a matter of fact, for a non-technical person, who just install necessary development tools and copy/paste code without knowing anything, he/she can still finish it within an hour.
But what’s the fun not knowing each line of code means, correct? Maybe just the nerdy side me talking…
Okay, let me start walking through the course.
The official website is https://learn.figment.io/. Under the Learn Pathways section, we can see Tezos Pathway, along with a whole bunch of other blockchains’ courses. Since I have completed all of them, I don’t know if Polkadot Pathway or any other below that are still available for earning.
Click on Tezos Pathway, the webpage asks participators to sign up an account with Figment Datahub. There is where Figment checks the work, that has done through the course. Once a user account is created, the course send you to https://datahub.figment.io/services/tezos, where the course works are displayed.
There are five different sections in the course. It teaches users how to connect, create account, query data, create transaction and deploy smart contract within Tezos network. All source codes are provided within each section.
Click the green “start” button to enter the section. Please make sure to click the “start” button; because everybody needs to click the verify button to get the credit.
Before start the course (and section 1 mentioned it), users need to install Node.js on their computer. I don’t think I need to explain what Node.js is; but for the non-technical people, who wants to get their hands dirty with programming, or just simply willing to get that $20 $TXZ for free:
Node.js is an environment that support running back-end JavaScript.
And all codes in the course are JavaScript.
After finishing all five sections, the “submit to earn” button will light up in green. Click to proceed.
Users will need their phone number (Google Voice does not work, I have tried…) to receive code inside the pop up here. Users also need the BrightID to justify who they are; this is the most difficult part of the entire course.
To be honest, BrightID has a great concept, but to me at least, it feels like a poor execution. BrightID is a social identity network that allows people to prove themselves as real persons anonymously.
So, this is the whole step I have gone through.
User downloads the app from App Store/Google Play. There is no KYC, I uploaded a photo of my dog as my profile.
Then go to https://meet.brightid.org/#/, to book a Zoom meeting, so that their “Official Staff” can check if I am a real person.
I went in the Zoom meeting. Official staffs put us into separated groups with around 20 persons each.
Every one in the group scan each other’s QR code along with at least one “Official Staff”. Now every one can be the approve of me as a real person. So I ended up with a group of Russian that are my “friends”.
I am wondering: what makes it so difficult, that I create another account, with my self to one of those meeting again, and just get another BrightID? The official staff will not remember my face, the profile picture was my dog.
Anyway, Once you get your unique BrightID, complete all steps in “Submit to Earn”. It will take about 12 hours to send you your free crypto.
To my knowledge, you cannot use an exchange address. I used my Exodus wallet.
Here, Learn Tezos blockchain and earn $20 worth of $TXZ.

Figment是一个教区块链应有程序基础编程的平台。区块链项目与Figment协调并为自己的区块链提供培训课程。大家在完成整个课程后也可以收到加密货币。
到目前为止，我已经参加了三门课程。他们是Avalanche，Polkadot，和昨天刚刚完事的Tezos。
在目前不稳定的加密货币市场的情况下，除了免费获得加密货币之外，还有什么更好的赚取加密货币的方法？当然，这里的崇高理想是学习如何写区块链程序。
Tezos课程其实相当容易。实际上，对于非技术人员来说，他们只要安装必要的开发工具并复制/粘贴代码，不到一小时就能完事。
但是，不仔细研究一下几百行代码那多没意思？难道，只有我吗？……
好吧，开始介绍学习步骤。
Figment的官方网站是https://learn.figment.io/。打开网站，可以在“学习途径”部分找到Tezos Pathway以及其他许多有关区块链的课程。
单击Tezos Pathway，下一个页面告诉我们要在Figment Datahub注册一个帐户。创建用户帐户后，页面会将转到https://datahub.figment.io/services/tezos，
本课程分为五个部分。它教用户如何在Tezos区块链上做连接，创建帐户，查询数据，创建交易和部署智能合约；而且每个部分都提供了所有源代码。
单击绿色的“开始”按钮进入该部分。请确保单击“开始”按钮；因为每个人都需要单击验证按钮才能获得功劳。
在开始学习该课程（以及第1节提到的内容）之前，用户需要在计算机上安装Node.js。我认为我不需要解释Node.js是什么。但是对于非技术人员来说，像想接触区块链编程，或者只想免费获得20美元的$TXZ的人：
Node.js是一个支持运行后端JavaScript的环境。
并且该课程中的所有代码都是JavaScript。
完成所有教程之后，“Submit to earn”按钮将可以点击。单击以继续。
在这里需要用短信电话确认。还需要使用BrightID来证明没有恶意多重账号圈钱。对于第一次参加Figment学习的用户来说，这也是整个课程中最浪费时间的部分。
老实说，BrightID绝对属于那种理想很美好，现实很无味的东西。 BrightID是一个 社会身份网络，允许人们匿名证明自己是真实的人。但是他真能证明自己是自己吗？
这是我当初申请BrightID的整个步骤。
从Google Play下载该应用程序。这个成语不需要KYC，我上传了我的狗的照片作为个人资料。
然后转到https://meet.brightid.org/#/，选一个Zoom会议，让他们的“正式职员”检查我是否是一个真实的人。
参加Zoom会议。官方工作人员将我们分成几个小组，每个小组约20人。
小组中的每个人都扫描对方的QR码以及至少一个“组织的正式职员”。现在每个人都可以成为我作为一个真实人的认证。因此，我“认识”了一群俄罗斯 “朋友”。
我想知道：我再建一个帐户，然后参加这么一个Zoom会议，官方人员又不记得我的脸，我的头像是我的狗。他们怎么知道我有没有别的账号？
长话短说，获得BrightID之后，完成“Submit to earn”中的所有步骤，其中包括一个$TXZ的地址。据我所知，不能使用交易所的地址。我用的是我的Exodus钱包。
现在就是等大约12个小时的时间，$TXZ就会发到钱包中。
