Howare you applying the license key and activation token in your Docker container? Are you applying them via environment variables IGNITION_LICENSE_KEY and IGNITION_ACTIVATION_TOKEN? Or are you not using those at all and just inputting them through the gateway web interface? My main concern is that you're not trying to do both--in that situation, a gateway restart would revert them back to the env-var settings, which at this point are invalid.

I am just inputting them through the gateway web interface.

Strangly the license is invalidated even without a gateway restart or a new creation of the docker container. On the status page of the gateway I can check the uptime and it shows a duration of days or weeks.

But I will use the environment variables and see if it will solve the problem but I guess not.


I didn't mean to suggest that using the env vars would solve the problem--mainly just wanted to rule out a possible conflict (if you were trying to do both) that I thought could stage this kind of failure scenario.


One other thought, you might consider changing your password on your IA account. I'm assuming there is no shared access to where someone else might be resetting your activation token from underneath you?

What I'm basically trying to do is what Rugcheck does. When given a token address, it shows the creator of that token. My initial approach was getting all transactions of the token with getSignaturesForAddress from the @solana/web3.js library, then reversing the array and finding the first transaction without an error. That only works sometimes and I don't know why. I'm new to this and completely clueless. What's a better way to get an SPL Token Program's (TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA) creator?


As for why your solution wasn't returning expected responses, there are not many transactions involving 7ayGpQ5NbMNeBSXsJWuWE6ZQ7y1f37UGSaHUc4fGypgd, so when you get them - you get them all going back to the creation of the token, so reversing the list gives you the first transaction.


But CYQqL1bdkL2zB1mJfi88jk2bsps2UbMC1iSLqJr8Gr16 has a lot of transactions associated with it so you're only getting recent transactions, not all of them, meaning the last one in the list isn't necessarily the first-ever transaction.


Unfortunately, there is currently not a way to have a forever-valid access token. However, you should be able to refresh your token by hitting the oauth token creation endpoint programmatically. Instructions for doing so are in the docs.


You make a good point about the standees. I have made some circular tokens where I punched out the images and taped them to plastic discs with double stick tape. The process is kind of fiddly. I really like the coin protector idea where it holds the images inside and makes a nice protective encasement for them.

About a year ago (or was it ten?), I launched a crypto-backed creator token called $RISE, an exciting foray into the new world of Web3. A few months after launch, my creator community was one of the most valuable in the world, with a valuation over $1 million. Today the project has been abandoned, people lost a bunch of money, and the coin is gone.


In the summer of 2021, I was invited to launch a creator token through a start-up platform called Rally. I hired a crypto analyst to vet the company and help me discern if this was a good bet. Rally was founded by a Silicon Valley star, had $100 million in backing from Andreeson Horowitz, and had an impressive management team. I was aware of the risks, but I decided to give it a try. I saw these benefits:


As a teacher and consultant, I must remain relevant, and this was a way for me to get first-hand experience in this emerging web culture. I saw this as a way to build a community, something I had not been successful with in the past. And, I was writing a book about community, so this fit well. Industry peers I admired like Jay Baer, Joe Pulizzi, Ann Handley, Joseph Jaffe, and Scott Monty had already taken the leap and launched coins. I wanted to be in the "club." Early creators were making money on the platform. I did not count on this, but it was a possibility.


When the coin launched, I honestly had no idea what I was doing. But this didn't bother me. My career has been a continuous set of experiments. I didn't know what I was doing when I wrote my first book, hosted my first conference, or taught my first college class, so this was no different.


My coin was backed by a publicly-traded cryptocurrency called Rally ($RLY). Each of my coins was paired with a $RLY coin, which was traded on the crypto exchanges. My coin was only traded inside of Rally, but it could be exchanged for $RLY and cashed-ou at any time, so $RISE was worth real money.


Theoretically, I could increase the value of my coin by using it to grow my community, allowing fans to trade it for my goods and services, and using it as a "currency" to reward people in my community. In reality, that did not work. My token price was almost completely determined by the rise and fall of the crypto market. You probably see where this is heading.


This last part caused me the most stress. Rally had a frictionless exchange system. There was essentially no tax or penalty for buying or selling coins. So speculators could buy tens of thousands of dollars in coins and sell them a day later if the coin value went up in value, even by a penny.


For months I struggled to keep my community progressing as it was being jerked around by speculators. On two occasions, I invested my own money to make up for dramatic declines caused by these people we called "whales."


I was determined to lead my coin community in an ethical and business-like manner, but the whales were a source of constant stress -- and even one anxiety attack -- as my community was jeopardized by strangers looking to make a quick buck.


Within a few months, I was figuring things out, and my creator token rapidly rose in value. $RISE eclipsed nearly every other community in terms of size and value. For example, at its peak, I had a mind-blowing 1.7 million $RISE coins in circulation, more than ten times more than most other creators. I attribute this success to:


Complete focus on community. The purpose of $RISE was to build a learning community, not for my personal gain. Everything I did was to create new value and learning opportunities for others. I gave away more than $50,000 in coins to let anybody access the community if they wanted to join and learn. A rational business approach. I had more business experience than most other creators on the platform. For example. many musicians and artists on Rally struggled to understand the token economics, which was insanely complex. I was not swayed by hype or emotion. I just stuck to the business plan and communicated about it transparently.


Eventually, nearly 2,000 people owned my coin. Although I never ran promotions or asked people to invest their money, many did because they believed in our mission. The impressive community success was proof that we were headed in the right direction.


In any start-up environment, you'll face unexpected problems. I knew Rally was an experiment, so I was patient with the company's frequent missteps and technical glitches. However, there were some fatal flaws embedded in the creator token system:


It was difficult for creators like me to take money out of Rally. Even though the project was taking a lot of time, I wasn't being compensated for it. Long story short, the algorithm penalized the whole community if a creator took money out. Perhaps Rally designed it that way -- they wanted to keep the money in the system, after all. Many creators bailed for this reason, and a few ruined their reputations by putting themselves ahead of their communities and cashing out everything in the middle of the night. Too much of the community value was impacted by the crypto market. My hard work seemed fruitless when the token value was largely determined by outside forces. In the "real world," I charge for my time. That's how I feed my family. The key to creator token economics is that a coin holder receives some valuable new access to me or my work. But why would I do that? I can charge real money for my time. Why would I give away valuable bonuses in exchange for tokens when I can't easily take money out of the Rally system? In an effort to play the game, many creators made terrible decisions selling services for tokens they could not easily redeem for money. I did not do that. Rally was mis-managed. By the spring of 2022 it was apparent that Rally was in trouble. It had just announced its third CEO in nine months. I won't get into the ugly details, but this was one of the worst-managed enterprises I have ever witnessed. And I've been around awhile. At least in part, poor leaders fumbled away the opportunity.


Just as another new management team was coming on board, crypto winter set in. All the cryptocurrencies melted in a matter of days, and this of course hastened Rally's decline. The company dramatically cut staff, stopped launching new creator tokens, curtailed development, and -- unbelievably -- suspended all communications with their 350 creators.


A series of mysterious "technical problems" kept creators and our community members from exchanging tokens or cashing out during the meltdown. Finally, Rally sent us a notice giving us a one-time 10-day window to cash out whatever we had left. We had to sign a document agreeing not to sue them.
