Milestone day for EOS general chat - 40,000 members! This comes 81 days after hitting 20k users, and represents an exponential new member growth curve from June 2017 as EOS accelerates towards launch.

Andrew M was busy early, helping token holders understand the importance of registering tokens:

And stuck around to rapid-fire some block producer questions:

More than 21 is better? Or too many cooks (link to Dunbar's number):

Most decentralized:

Hands in the pie:

Wind makes trees grow stronger:


Images from the Blockchain 101 presentation Dan Larimer delivered at Virginia Tech, his alma mater:

And back in EOS general chat, as the big moment approached:


Go EOS!

  1. Someone get me an EOS T-Shirt!!! :P
  2. This is an amazing sum up once again. I really like the part in regards to the 21 BPs. That ONE comment about Marginal Utility, Economies of Scale, Rational Ignorance and Dunbar's number is PURE GOLD!!!

Well put and agreed - also in Dan's blockchain 101 talk at Virginia Tech he was asked who the biggest competitors are to EOS and he tried to answer diplomatically at first... then admitted, "there really are no biggest competitiors". Go EOS!

hahaha. Well there really isn't!

Unless you count the permissioned tokenless chains. Those are DLT that have huge potential but it's not the same market

I will be sifting for the video of the presentation... please post a link when it’s released!

Will do - it was shot by a professional crew from overseas and it's unknown how long their edit process might take. Dan's talk was excellent.

Congratulations EOS!

Now that NY power companies are charging crypto miners more than other electric companies, they are directly profit… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

Do you guys know if there is any update on a 100% safe method to test your private EOS key (for non tech-savvy people)? I know there is a webwallet available on the EOS github, but from what I've heard that's not entirely safe to use.

Then EOS could have more than 21 BPs? because at the beginning they said exactly 21.
Thanks @eosgo for your support, very good summary.
