RE: EOS - List of Block Producer Candidates introduced on steemit | Update 0005 | 2018-04-10 |
I googled for EOS Go and I found a few repo's with the same name.
Is this your repo: https://github.com/siginfo/eos-go
Also what is a block producer? I'm looking over all the links that you posted and reading a bit. But just for the sake of newbies could you give me a quick rundown on what an EOS blockproducer is and why someone would want to become one?
In the "Proof of Work" blockchains, the token had to be "mined" by "miners". In a "Delegated Proof of Stake" system, every token is linked to a voting right. There are no more miners, but block producers. They are elected by the community. A block contains a lots of different transactions from the network. In EOS, we will have one block every 0.5 second. There will be 21 block producers for the EOS network. This is a huge responsibility to assume. Candidates are applying from all over the world!
For a general explanation of what is blockchain (a chain of blocks):
You should watch these 2 videos from Thomas Cox:
Block Producer Discussion With Thomas Cox
2nd Block Producer Q&A with Thomas Cox
This little video is very usefull to understand what is EOS and why this unusually long ICO:

Have a nice day,

Thanks will do. I'll let you know if I have any questions after watching those.
Can i buy Eos now or it's high price ?
I'm part of those who believes that the adoption of EOS worldwide is going to be massive!
Till EOS price will be under 20$, consider it is cheap.
You should not invest into EOS tokens before understanding what EOS and what the "Delegated Proof of Stake" systems are.
To become an EOS holder involves a sense of responsibility and a desire to participate to the EOS democracy.
Have a nice weekend,
Thierry
Thank you my friend 😊
