Two Korean EOS Block Producers have made the top 21.  We will not count EOS Asia in that group as the teams behind EOSYS and EOSeoul are run by Koreans living in Korea.  Furthermore, EOSYS and EOSeoul will join EOS Asia and the other 18 Block Producers to produce blocks and will start to earn mining rewards.  In addition, the 21 Block Producers are not the only ones getting paid Block rewards.  A little over 50 Block Producers will get paid in Block rewards.

The 21 Block Producers:

EOS Canada

EOS Authority

eosDAC

EOS New York

eos.cafe

EOS Cannon

EOS42.io

LiquidEOS

Bitfinex

Huobi Pool

EOS Gravity

Cypherglass

EOS Argentina

EOS Rio

EOSYS – South Korea

EOS Sweden

EOS Beijing

EOSeoul – South Korea

MeetOne

Eos.Store

EOS Asia

What will they do with the Rewards?

The EOS voting is done every 3 minutes so the list could constantly be changing.  EOSeoul and EOSYS will be making close to 800 EOS tokens per day.  The current price of EOS Tokens is $10 at the time of this writing (June 19th, 2018).  Therefore, EOSeoul and EOSYS will be earning close to $8,000 per day or $250,000 a month.

With this money, these Block Producers are going to have to run their entire business off of that revenue.  Furthermore, not all Block Producers get the same about of EOS rewards.  For example, the top voted Block Producer will get 1,100 EOS tokens while EOS Asia which is ranked 21st will get around 750 EOS Tokens.

The other 30 that were not elected will get some bit rewards to back up the other 21.

EOSeoul is looking to build a secure hybrid infrastructure for the EOS Platform.  While EOSYS will be looking to build an EOS building in Seoul.  As for EOS Asia, you can find all our plans on our website.

EOS Mainnet is LIVE!

The mainnet is now live and in the voting stage, the question that a lot of EOS holders are asking is…how do we vote for EOS Block Producers?

This is by far the most frequently asked question these days by EOS holders, and the purpose for this post is to help you find the most secure and easy way to vote (we at EOS Asia have researched them all).  Furthermore, only with your help can we maintain a fair and democratic chain that is going to make EOSIO for example to any Blockchain project that’s going to be available in the future while taking part to one of the most ambitious projects ever seen!

Vote to activate the chain, vote to have a chain that is going to be maintained by the best Block Producers in the world and vote to be part of history that’s created by YOU!

EOS ASIA Voting Portal

The EOS Asia Voting Portal is the easiest, most secure, and fastest way to vote on the EOS Blockchain.

DISCLAIMER:

vote.eosasia.one uses Scatter.  Scatter is a way to sign EOS transactions and provide private data without exposing keys and unnecessary information while interacting with web applications.  Therefore, Scatter is one of the most secure and easiest-to-use wallets in the EOS ecosystem.  In addition, EOS Asia’s voting tool will never ask for private keys.  Therefore, if you encounter a fake portal, please report it to us.

Summary:

1.  Download and set up Scatter
2.  Go to vote.eosasia.one (We’ve built the simplest interface possible)
3.  Vote!

Step by Step Guide

Step 1:  Download Scatter 

Visit get-scatter.com or scatter-eos.com and download the Scatter plugin for Chrome

Step 2:  Verify Scatter

Verify Scatter using the developer option of Chrome.  (Make sure you have the official version of Scatter before using it)

• Go to chrome://extensions/
• Turn on Dev mode on the top right of the page
• Verify that the ID of Scatter is the same as the one below:
• ammjpmhgckkpcamddpolhchgomcojkle

Step 3:  Create a Scatter Account

Click on the Scatter icon in the plugins section of Chrome.  Insert a password that’s going to be used to access your account and select “Create New Scatter”.

Immediately after this step, write down the mnemonic phrases and store them in a safe place.

Step 4:  Enter your EOS Keys

In the menu “Key Pairs”, enter your EOS Private and Public Keys.  Furthermore, give your keys a name so you’ll know which one it is.

(Remember, if you do not feel comfortable to use Scatter you don’t need to vote this way.  Scatter is currently one of the tools we suggest since we’ve verified it and since we know the founder.)

Step 5:  Attach Identity to EOS Asia Voting Portal

This step is going to import the Mainnet network to your Scatter and attach your Identity to the Voting Portal.

• Go to vote.eosasia.one and select “Attach Identity”

• Accept the Network Add Request

• Select your Identity and Accept the Identity Request

Step 6:  Link your Wallet to your Scatter Identity

• Open Scatter and click on the Identity Menu
• Edit the Identity that Scatter created for you, or create a New Identity
• In the Account section select the EOS Mainnet chain which should:  eos:chain:aca376f206b8fc25a6ed44dbdc66547c36c6c33e3a119ffbeaef943642f0e906
• In the same section, select your wallet and click “Import” to let Scatter search for accounts
• When the account is found it will let you select permissions.  We suggest selecting the Active EOS permissions
• Once you’re done remember to Save in the top right of the Scatter Menu

Step 7:  Vote

Now we’re finally at the most exciting part, voting!

• Open EOS Asia voting portal: vote.eosasia.one
• Enter your account name. This should be a string of characters such as “hezdszjogegc”
• Select up to 30 BPs using the checkboxes.
• Once you’ve finished selecting, click on the “Vote” button and you’re done!

Vote for EOS ASIA

The post How to Vote for EOS Block Producers by EOS Asia appeared first on Startup Radar.

One of the goals of EOS Asia is dedicating our technical strengths to maintain a highly available and robust network for the EOS community.  So we have Y-combinator backed engineers with an extensive experience running multi-region, high available, recovering applications that are used by tens of millions of people.  I think these are the real technical challenges that the BPs will face when the EOS main net goes live.

EOS right now is at the center of tension for the blockchain world.  The stakes are actually quite high here.  There will for sure be malicious actors trying to launch all kinds of technical attacks.  Technical attacks such as DDoS to the system for their benefit.  If BPs fail to address and recover from these attacks people will lose faith in the technology.  Then, no dApp developer will want to build on the platform that constantly fails because BPs won’t be able to do their job.  I think we collectively as a BP community have a huge stake to maintain a highly available network for the EOS ecosystem.

Beware of Unqualified BPs

I feel like right now a lot of BPs are not paying enough attention to the technical challenges of running EPs.  They are doing PR and a lot of marketing in trying to get people to vote for them.  However, they are not prioritizing the most fundamental thing which is whether or not they have the right technical people can run the BP nodes.  This problem is particularly problematic in the Asian region in my opinion.  A few of them that are listed online never really participated in a textnet, or some have participated but never really maintained or kept it updated.  Time is running out as we have just about a month to go so it is time to take this seriously.

Helping Other BPs through Our Technical Experience

EOS Asia really wants to help other BPs to polish up their technical plans and contribute our technical experience to help the community as a whole to have really high technical standards.  We think that is the fundamental of running a BP node.  Furthermore, we help translate those materials to the BP community to make sure we have a more robust network to withstand all kinds of malicious attack.  Bridging the technical gap will be key for EOS Asia.
