EOS Mainnet Launch Delayed Due to Network Flaws

in #eos6 years ago

After vote of Block Producer (BP) which has taken place on June 6 start of EOS network is postponed still at least for 24 hours. Now the platform undergoes serious testing for safety. Start will take place only when developers confirm lack of vulnerabilities.

David Moss, the head consulting a blockchain company which specializes in EOS, considers that new vote will end not too well for network, removing the beginning of work for indefinite time.

The team of EOS Mainnet Launch Group (EMLG) developers claims that the majority of problems in network has been corrected till June 1 before the Chinese company of cyber security has published own report on safety (more true, absence that) platforms.

The team doesn't make additional explanations about what they mean by "majority" of mistakes and what vulnerabilities haven't been corrected yet. Obviously only what interferes problems which the company faces now with start of the meynnet.

At once after the statement that the network is already almost conditioned EOS initiated the baunti-campaign aimed at finding mistakes and vulnerabilities of network. Initially the step was regarded as attempt of team to show vigilance and at the same time to allow users to be convinced that the product is ready to use.

It became known later that one of hackers testers has found more than 12 "weak points", having earned for these $120 000. So far it is unknown what part from the found errors is critical for start and what can be solved later, in process of network functioning. However, the shown result says at least that developers aren't quite competent or created network hastily.

In the light of the last EMLG refuses to designate date of start of network. The team reports that new updating will be established within the next two days, however to announce exact number of the beginning of network functioning "it will be irresponsible".

And here holders of coins of EOS consider what is irresponsible — to check everything at the last minute. Crypto - community asks a question: and whether there corresponds the transparency of the project to that sum which managed to be attracted during year ICO? Where exactly do $4 billion have been spent?
