A possible answer would be positioning block.one as the principle support provider and qualifying the adopting chain as "official" EOS. Those picking up the code on GitHub wouldn't have the same status or support?
If an EOS Platform adopting the EOS.IO Software is launched, the default EOS.IO Software configuration developed by block.one will lock new founders tokens distributed pursuant to such EOS Platform in a smart contract and release 10,000,000 (10%) of such tokens to block.one at the end of each one year anniversary of the genesis block over a period of 10 years. The EOS.IO Software configuration of the EOS Platform will be ultimately determined by a third party who initializes a genesis block and starts the EOS Platform.
That's the last paragraph in the purchase agreement.
I wrote a post earlier based upon an email that I got from BitcoinLatina.
It said they were going to be an EOS-based blockchain starting around June 1 (or whenever EOS is released).
This struck me as odd since @stan announced they were going onto Bitshares. I know he discussed BTS and EOS working together and having some combining between the two.
So I am not sure what is going on.
Is BTS the EOS-based blockchain or is BitcoinLatina doing like Vice and going off on their own?
Saw that.
"BitShares 3.0 = BitShares 2.0 + EOS in a TBD Mix"
I'm banking on it.
