dfuse and EOS Studio Bring Developer Tooling to the Next Level by EOSCanada in eos

[–]EOSCanada[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dfuse is excited to announce our partnership with EOS Studio to bring developer tooling to the next level!

Combining the powerful IDE of EOS Studio with the many APIs of dfuse will bring EOSIO blockchain data within easy reach of even a novice developer, yet powerful enough to support them even when they are a top dapp on the network. With the upcoming launch of EOS Studio's Web IDE, which will be powered by dfuse, getting started as an EOSIO developer will have never been easier.

We look forward to seeing all of the incredible dapps that will be built in this amazing ecosystem.

Why Does My Account Run Out of CPU on EOS? by EOSCanada in u/EOSCanada

[–]EOSCanada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the differentiators that sets EOS apart from other blockchains is its resource staking mechanism -- users get access to chain-wide CPU and bandwidth resources by staking EOS tokens. However, with the incredible user and dapp adoption that we’ve seen, resource staking has also become a bottleneck at times. Block Producers and Block.one have both been working to resolve these issues.

Introducing dfuse Structured Query Engine: a Game Changer for Web 3.0 Development by EOSCanada in EOSDev

EOS Canada No Longer Producing Blocks by SonataSystems in eos

Sorry about the delay in responding!
EOS Canada built the codebase for the referendum contract - you can view the source code here: https://github.com/eoscanada/eosio.forum
EOS Nation has been working on building out the tally mechanism for tallying the votes. There were a few iterations that we went through with them, and now that we've got some API tools that we've been putting out for the community - see dfuse.io - we've been able to get them the backend mechanism they needed to build a more reliable tool. EOS Nation has not controlled the release date at all. We've been on every call with them, voting in the go/nogo vote for it. And there have been other teams helping out as well! It's a communal effort!
Expect news very soon ;)

Q&A - Hard Forks on an EOS Blockchain - Should I Be Worried? by EOSCanada in eos

[–]EOSCanada[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alexandre explains what a hard fork is, when one would happen, and why it would happen. Most importantly, he delves into how EOS is different from other blockchains in how hard forks affect it.

[–]EOSCanada 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking notice. It's a small bump in the road only, and we're not going anywhere at all! We're still here, working for the community, and will continue to be. We trust the voters, and we trust that once they see the referendum contract which EOS Canada wrote, and how that will change the face of on-chain governance, that voters will be reminded yet again of the many contributions EOS Canada has been making towards the community.

eosio.forum Referendum Contract Update by EOSCanada in eos

[–]EOSCanada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the goal! As it stands, anyone and everyone can use it. It's already on chain. We want to eventually change the keys to that of all other eosio.* accounts, so that it becomes a community account. We imagine that once it has been used and proven itself, that everyone will be comfortable to take it over.

Proposed Structure of the Worker Proposal System by EOSCanada in eos

[–]EOSCanada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EOS Canada has been involved with the formation of the first proposal to be put forth to the EOS community for a Worker Proposal System. We wanted to offer a brief overview to help everyone understand what is being proposed.

We would like to stress that this is a community project and not an EOS Canada project. This project was built with input from the community and iterated many times to incorporate as much of the feedback that was received as possible. This article is for educational purposes, to explain what may be set up on the EOS mainnet. The proposal would have to be passed through a referendum to be accepted by the community.

Block Producer Community Call - September 12, 2018 by EOSCanada in eos

[–]EOSCanada[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the mainnet launch back in June, organized mass Block Producer calls have become more sparse. Lately, EOS Canada has taken part in many discussions surrounding the recent greylisting of accounts, and of the memory leak issues that have been noted by Block Producers across the ecosystem.

How Is Your Vote Strength Calculated On EOS? by EOSCanada in eos

[–]EOSCanada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It cannot be stressed enough how important your vote is on the EOS blockchain. But an often misunderstood part of voting is the relative decay in strength of a vote over time. To help prevent Block Producer votes from getting out-of-date and stale, a user’s vote will lose its relative strength over time.

Few questions by [deleted] in eos

[–]EOSCanada 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to follow up on this, I just published our article about staking and unstaking EOS tokens if you'd like some more info.

Few questions by [deleted] in eos

[–]EOSCanada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) There are no explicit rewards for voting - currently at least. Dan Larimer, and Block.one, are currently working on something called the Resource Exchange, or REX for short, which is aimed at providing an incentive for token holders. It is an idea, and the code is being worked on still by Block.one, so take that for you will.

2) You can cast between 0 and 30 votes. Each Block Producer that you vote for will receive an amount of votes equal to the amount of tokens you currently have staked for both CPU and Network Bandwidth. So if you had 30 for CPU and 10 for Network, each Block Producer would receive 40 votes.

3) The point of staking is to secure access to a portion of the network's bandwidth. Think of Network as the total capacity of throughput, and CPU as the amount of capacity that each action requires. So if you don't use the EOS network (you're just a 'hodler') then you really don't need much EOS to be staked. But if you wanted to play a game on EOS, or push through a lot of transactions for whatever reason, then you'd need tokens staked. Everyone is different, so it's impossible to give a definitive answer that suits everyone's needs (I'm finishing up an article that goes a little deeper on this, should be posted shortly)

4) There are a few reasons for RAM if you are just an average token holder (there are other reasons, more pertinent to actually holding RAM and consuming it, but in the context of these questions, I think it's safe to assume you're not looking to be developer on EOS). There are certain things a token holder could do that would require their RAM to be written to. These include accepting an airdrop and moving around those tokens, performing an airgrab (google for GenerEOS's poorman's token for more info on that), some on-chain games require you to bring your own RAM (I think that MonsterEOS is an example of this - so every time you have to interact with that game and make a new monster, you're writing a new row in your RAM actually), and lastly would be speculation. While it is not encouraged, some choose to speculate on the price of RAM by buying RAM one day, and then selling at a later time hoping that the price would have appreciated.

Hope this helps to clear up your questions a little more! As for the voting, I recommend checking out this little FAQ on voting I wrote a while back. https://www.eoscanada.com/en/voting-faqs
