ENS steps

ens-steps.md

A rough outline from my ENS walkthrough.

scenarios:

Every hash in the registrar is in one of 5 modes:

• Open
• Auction
• Owned
• Reveal
• NotYetAvailable

Here is the Registrar code: https://github.com/ethereum/ens/blob/master/contracts/HashRegistrarSimplified.sol

OPEN MODE: Start an auction for a name you want

Important information:

• When you open a name, the registrar will also open auctions on a number of decoy hashes. (https://etherscan.io/tx/0xd7fce57138d18a9fe2848b5a6c63ba84a6a2a782048f060f001400b4b13f62d7)

AUCTION MODE: bid on a name which is currently being auctioned

Important information

• SAVE THE SECRET!
• When you submit a bid, what's public is the total amount you submitted (not bid), and your address, and that you bid on something. That's all.

REVEAL MODE: unseal the parameters of your bid

• acct 1 is low bid at 0.02 ETH) (metamask )
• acct 2 is high(er) bid at 0.03 ETH (MEW)

Important information

• This is when you will receive a refund
  • if you are not the winner, you'll get your whole deposit back
  • if you are the winner, you'll get back the difference between your deposit and the second highest bid

FINALIZE MODE: claim ownership of a name you are the highest bidder on
