TL;DR for collecting the airdrop seems to be something like this (I AM NOT suggesting you should, but in case you decide to):<p>* install `<a href="https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd`" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd`</a> - run `./bin/hsd` and wait for wallet to sync<p>* install `<a href="https://github.com/handshake-org/hs-client`" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/handshake-org/hs-client`</a> - run `./bin/hsw-cli account create` and `./bin/hsw-cli --account=default address` - copy address<p>* install `<a href="https://github.com/handshake-org/hs-airdrop`" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/handshake-org/hs-airdrop`</a> - follow instructions depending on how you whether you want to give the cli your key or sign manually - simplest way is something like `hs-airdrop <key-file> <address>`<p>* back in `hs-client` - run ./bin/hsd-rpc sendrawairdrop <base64-from-hs-airdrop>`<p>* leave the wallet running and wait for 20 or something blocks<p>* back in `hs-client` - `./bin/hsw-cli balance --account=default` should now have a balance.
Can we get a out-of-the-loop explanation for what Handshake is, and what the value of this airdrop is (can these coins be sold on an open market, or are they for use in its DNS system only?).
