RE: EOS Mainnet Launch Status - Important Update
Hi, always good to have a critical look at things! now at launch block producers have a very important function, and they do decide a lot... But once the blockchain is established and voting becomes a regular thing and bp will be certainly voted out or in based on their performance, so if those who were there first don't deliver, they will loose their position eventually. Just look at steem, there is witness change all the time.
Thank you for your reply.
I am aware of the important role BPs play in every DPOS ecosystem. Yet there is also power behind this role. And money ... I am not envying them. I am just saying that there is more to the role than their service to the community.
What I am frustrated about is the complete lack of transparency and no clear information.
Come to that, I am not saying that the situation before the genesis block of BitShares or Steem was any better :)
OK, let's wait and see and hope for the best!
Hmm... honestly not sure where you are heading. I understand your concerns and i am aware there are a lot of grey areas, because the had bothered me a lot i have blogged a lot about those possible issues. But eventually we have got a rather firm governance which requests disclosure of ownership of all BPs and disclosure of investement if it goes to more than one bp. Vote buying is forbidden anyway, and its forbidden to use tokens which are not ones own, which should barr exchanges from using the tokens they hold in custody. Did i leave something out? If yes i am very curious to learn what that could be, because i really like to be aware of risks associated with my investment ;-)
Hello and thanks again for your reply, concern and curiosity.
Maybe is just my lack of research that has left me with a mixed feeling of how will everything proceed.
As it looks now there is one mainnet only and BPs are getting votes already.
So far so good :)
By the way - did you vote already? Can you tell me how, please? I mean technically, of course. With what tool ...? I am leaning towards Scatter and Eosportal option. Thanks!
Thanks for coming back to this! I believe its important to always retain some critical stance towards ones investement, and thus i am always looking for possible problems, in the tech i am bullish on.
As regards voting, your setup would have been my preferred one as well, but it seems they have currently a bug and nsjames is sitting on a plain right now.... so maybe i will wait another day as i am not familiar with the other options (dont want to resort to cli yet)
I don't want to build cleos neither :) Ok, let's wait and see.
Have a great week!
