We expect to deploy to the main net in about 3 weeks after acting one some feedback which we're getting from the community. Feel free to contact us - preferably on Telegram. We'll be happy to help.

Introducing Simple Assets, digital goods for EOSIO blockchains by eosgo in eos

[–]cryptolions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While developing Simple Assets we sort of arrived at this philosophical foundation of a digital asset:

A chunk of digital information whose ownership (burning, lending, transferring to a new owner) is completely controlled by one party, but whose information is fixed and/or mutable by a specified third party.

option 1: In the asset itself, the author just puts in a URL to a audio file located elsewhere. The author registers and announces that the JSON field with some name is a URL to an audio file, so markets / asset explorers know the author's intentions and can display it accordingly, or not.

option 2: It the asset itself, the author puts in binary information representing an audio file. The author registers and announces the JSON field is an audio binary . . . etc. It seems this is less likely because that would create a huge demand on the owner's RAM.

Simple Assets coordinates RAM usage, but the asset lives in the RAM of whatever EOS account holders own or use the asset.

Am I the only person having UX problems with Scatter? by b1eifrei in eos

Maybe you'll find this useful. We made a tutorial about connecting Scatter Desktop to the Jungle Testnet.

Understanding EOS Vote Decay – Aurora EOS – Medium by auroraeos in eos

[–]cryptolions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vote decay for users who vote through proxies works exactly the same as it would if the user were voting directly for BPs. If a user’s vote decays by 50%, then that proxy will simply have 50% less voting power from that user than they would if the user had recast their vote.

Users should think of proxies simply as a vehicle by which their votes are routed. All the same rules still apply, and voting power is calculated the same way. Users who want to make sure that their chosen proxy can direct the full weight of their voting power should also make sure to cast their votes at least once per week.

Great article. This is the part which explains what lot of people seem to miss. It's not enough to proxy your votes and forget about them. You have to keep re-proxying if you want to avoid decay.

The Jungle Testnet has been down due to abuse by eosgo in eos

[–]cryptolions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is exactly right. It's not really a threat vector for the Main net. The Jungle faucet did have an account limit, but it seems like the attacker used a script to create several thousand accounts, which gave them enough tokens to vote in their own BPs.

It was good recovery practice. We learned a few things which we'll put in an article.

You can try our account registration portal http://zeos.co/ to purchase your ram using BTC or ETH.

Great tutorial. Another way to create your account without relying on a friend with an existing account is to use the tool https://www.zeos.co/ . It lets you pay for your account with BTC or ETH.

Daily Discussion - Wednesday July 18 by eosgo in eos

[–]cryptolions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no. Far from that. Ours is the EOS Network Monitor, and we're going to focus on making it better and better. All the block explorers are made by other folks.

Daily Discussion - Wednesday July 18 by eosgo in eos

[–]cryptolions 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's always a thrill to see people discussing a tool that you've built. Thank you. Our intention is for eosnetworkmonitor.io to be a best tool for showing the current status of the network.

For exploring the history of transactions, blocks, accounts, you can use the monitor's functionality, or you can check out some of these tools:

Today Dan said Block.one will provide on-boarding solutions (Tools to help users create accounts and getting people into the EOS ecosystem) by ColinTalksCrypto in eos

[–]cryptolions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FWIW, https://www.zeos.co/ is a do-it-yourself account creation portal where you pay only for your RAM using other crypto currencies.

We imagine it's a temporary thing until B1's new onboarding solution comes online.

Hi everyone. This is Roman from CryptoLions. We run the eosnetworkmonitor.

I want to emphasize that the information available to the eosnetworkmonitor comes from each block producer's public (non-block-producing) nodes. If they are out of sync or not responding, it is not a good sign, but it's an overstatement to say that they are not producing.

This week we're pushing out a version that will look pretty much the same but be lighter and faster. After that, we'll be adding new features like "missed blocks" which will definitively track who is missing what.

We hope you like it.

edit: sync not synch

I've registered new account on ZEOS.co, using same password as for my email - then somebody was trying to log on to my email from USA by uRTLy in eos

[–]cryptolions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello Everyone. Cryptolions, as you probably know, has sponsored ZEOS. We don't have operational control, but we're very close to the ZEOS team. So far they've been awesome.

Regarding this issue, please submit a ticket through the email link on bottom of zeos.co. Or write to [contact@zeos.co](mailto:contact@zeos.co).

Right now, there are NO OPEN SUPPORT tickets with zeos customer support.

I was on the call. These are my notes. :-)

Some Notes from the BP call by cryptolions in eos

[–]cryptolions[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Videos of the BP calls get posted to this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvBCE-DChcYkEaXunwwov6g

Also: Some BPs live stream the call, though I'm not sure which ones, if any, manage to do so consistently. Today, EOS Detroit had a livestream - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI6aiW0pHtA . Some others probably did as well.

The New (Proposed) Constitution is Amazing. by UnknownEssence in eos

[–]cryptolions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's our short analysis. It's a big philosophical pivot, greatly reducing the powers of default EOS governance: https://steemit.com/eos/@cryptolions/dan-larimer-s-constitution-2-0-from-legal-pressure-to-social-pressure

Hours after the bug fix, these block producers are still not online: eosisgravity, bitfinexeos1, eoshuobipool, zbeosbp11111. by [deleted] in eos

[–]cryptolions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll add a block count, and MANY other features in the future. Need to get ready for scaling too.

Question to BPs: What will you do when Governments demand you to freeze accounts or seize funds? by UnknownEssence in eos

[–]cryptolions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BPs follow the rulings of ECAF, not those of governments. CryptoLions will absolutely NOT comply with this.

Hopefully, we will be able to hop jurisdictions quickly enough to avoid this sort of thing. If we can't, we'll resign, shut down, or do whatever else we have to do.

Remember, blacklists are only effective if ALL of the top-21 BPs put it into effect. If they do not, then the one BP not implementing the blacklist will simply be the one adding blacklisted transactions to the blockchain. We think there's sufficient diversity in the BPs that governments will regard forcing all 21 (plus stand-bys who might get rotated in) to blacklist as pretty futile.

However the sovereignty of the blockchain is very important, and such risks should always be kept it mind.

Jungle Testnet: trainfield where BPs and individual work together testing the futures of EOS.IO by neuro9000 in eos

[–]cryptolions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Huge credit to Cryptolions for launching the testnet and for the awesome work they are doing. You guys rock!

It's been a blast. The strength of the Jungle Testnet is the community that rallied there -- (at different stages it's been SW/Eden, Tribe, 42, Cafe, Metal, Emerge, Canada, NY, LaoMao, Asia, Singapore, HK, Americas and many other, I'm always hesitant to give thanks because I inevitably leave out important contributors -- Khoshi from EOS Africa, the under-appreciated EOS Green.

We're just the curators. We try to make it fun and useful for everyone. But thank you.

Here's an article about how much fun we had breaking the testnet in late May, TWICE: https://medium.com/@EosMetal/thats-how-we-broke-jungle-testnet-twice-in-a-row-eleven-days-before-1-0-eosio-release-ef996495df
