Programmer explains EOS

in #eos8 years ago

Hi guys this is a two part series on EOS!
What is your opinion on this project? :) Enjoy!

Programmer explains EOS - Ethereum killer? - Part 1

Programmer explains EOS - DPoS and Negatives - Part 2

Sort:  

Wasn't expecting a very good explanation of the details here. But, you did a good job of taking the complexities and breaking it down for folks (full-stack dev here as well)

Steemit is almost certain to carry EOS to success if Steemit sticks with EOS.
The reason is that anyone can easily make content on Steemit with good chances to be rewarded once one is known a bit. Plus there are quite some members on Steemit already that are interesting enough to keep people involved.
As it stands currently, Steemit sails just by itself nicely. The owner would have to shut it down out of bad mood. As long as that does not happen, there is no hurdle i can see.

There isn't really one owner of steemit who can shut it down because of a bad mood. The idea of Proof of Stake means we all have ownership and it gets it's increased value from people believing in it's value. So it's in all steemer's best interest to make this the best social network in the world.

I am very grateful that Dan Larimer will be fully dedicated to the EOS project. So, in my opinion, he did not really quit on bitshares and steemit because EOS will be their next OS. Few people on earth have Dan's talents and blockchain experience. Steemit and bitshares teams are perfectly able to take care of these platforms. The usual rule set for engineers (don't quit a project until it's finished) has to be put in perspective. Dan has been on the same project for more than a decade: making blockchain technology available to all of us !

Yes. Dan Larimer is like the Johnny Appleseed of blockchains. He just goes around planting seeds and making sure they can grow on their own before moving on to the next one. I feel like he's on a mission to make sure blockchain tech can't be shit down. He made a decentralized exchange so government can't stop anyone from trading. Then he made a decentralized censorship resistant blogging platform so people will have a voice when the powers that be try to spin the story. He's a genius hero.

That doesn't mean EOS will succeed. I HOPE he gets it up and running, hands it off, and moves on to his next amazing project.

Interesting thoughts, he does indeed seem awesome and extremely skilled

And u thought like a hero.

Haha, I'm not sure about that. If you read enough about Dan his character is pretty obvious.

Actually I agree with your though.. need a crowd to gain support. To get real supporter is by using money. 👍🏻👍🏻.

But we enjoy it too. 😎😎

Johnny Appleseed of blockchains. I like that :)

Me too. I'm not sure I came up with it though, it seems like I read it somewhere.

good knowledgeable

Thanks for covering EOS with an open mind. I am going to speculate on it's ICO. Good to have you on Steemit! Your videos are awesome!

I waited to a moment, when you will post this episode on steemit, because I knew, that I will resteem it, as I just did :)

haha every time you touch a post it goes "viral" ( in my measures at least ) ;)

two reasons:

  • I have a little bit more followers (a lot of programmers), so if I resteem, than this goes directly to your target group :)
  • I think after some time in social media and on steemit I can recognize what has a potential to become more popular on steemit.

but the most important thing is, that you produce awesome content, so this is just a natural consequence of your work ;) If i would not do that, for sure someone else would do that a little bit later ;)

Thank man! ❤️

You did a great job on this! Thanks for the videos.

Brilliant. Following :-)

Always grateful for your videos. Really helps me make my mind up about these things. Watched part 1 yesterday - now onto Part 2 :)

PS. be prepared, that due to hardfork 19 happening today, payout for this and post may change at 15:00 UTC. More details you can find on: https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/hf19-equality-coming-soon-linear-rewards

Hey man! Thanks! The most annoying thing with Steemit is that you can only comment once every 20th second, does this restriction go away once you have more rep on this platform?

Nope. This is hardcoded: https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/26949fa6432e6066b02f7f80483e68b1a9c8cb7f/libraries/protocol/include/steemit/protocol/config.hpp#L110

Even without changing this artificial limit, I think mechanism similar to Meteor could be used on Steemit fronend:

Hey @ivanli thank you for your second critical video. We really need to see more criticism here.

I don't think the problem with Larimerian DPoS consensus is necessarily dan himself. DPoS is a tradeoff. There might be problems with how EOS takes them.
