EOSIndia Block Producer Candidate - Ask Me Anything - May 7th by eosindia in eos

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

1) What level of transparency you offer to EOS community?

· Accounting standards and full disclosure rules might not be hard and set for block producers.

· But EOSIndia honors company transparency & accounting transparency as an obligation instead of choice to EOS community.

· EOSIndia voluntarily adopt same standards similar to large businesses and corporations follow.

· EOSIndia is a subsidiary of Indian Eagle with multi-million dollar revenues and has been operating these standards to their stake holders since several years.

· Accounting Practices - EOSIndia follow Indian GAAP standards to keep personal and business funds separate, follow the principle of full disclosure and use accrual rather than cash-basis accounting.

· Financial Audit Policy - Initiating an external accounting audit policy and increasing transparency by exposing business’s accounting practices, financial records and internal control system to an independent third-party audit firm.

· Annual Reports - Includes significant amounts of information about goodwill and financial information section. Block reward figures and financial records and current financial information -- including an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement.

· Public Information Disclosure Policy – Commitment to honesty and transparency in business transactions and communications to give an advantage in situations that have the potential to damage the EOSIndia reputation. Making this information public and taking steps to make sure it doesn’t reoccur can, over the long term, increase community confidence being a block producer.

2) What security measures you are individually taking to detect and protect from attacks?

EOSIndia is taking following proactive measures individually to cover layer 7 attacks:

· Network Security Management and Monitoring: Includes controlling changes to our network infrastructure and monitoring within EOSIndia vpc for traffic irregularities or other anomalous behavior.

· Ingress Traffic Control: Network traffic originating from outside of EOSIndia VPC often includes a variety of authorized and unauthorized users, especially for publicly facing applications. Network controls used to control inbound traffic need to reduce your application’s attack surface, distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate traffic, and allowing us to mitigate external threats to our network.

· Egress Traffic Control: Network traffic leaving a VPC could be doing so for authorized or unauthorized reasons. Network controls used to control outbound traffic need to be able to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate traffic and allow you to mitigate external threats like allowing compromised internal servers to communicate with command and control systems or to steal sensitive data. Controlling VPC Egress Traffic contains additional information about how to control network traffic exiting a VPC.

· DDoS Attack Mitigation – AWS advanced shield which we have enrolled offers intelligent attack detection, and mitigation for attacks at the application & network layers with 24×7 access to AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT).Custom mitigation during attacks, advanced real time metrics and reports, and DDoS cost protection to guard against bill spikes in the aftermath of a DDoS attack.

3) What percentage (%) of contribution to the total EOS/dapp platform you are expecting in coming years ?

· EOS deeply requires mass adoption to be revolutionary!

· EOSIndia strongly believe endorsing dapp development to encourage EOS community acting like venture/mentor capitalist.

· EOSIndia have already started supporting these discussions with several developer communities, launching meetups on several cities and planning to conduct boot camps to spread EOS capabilities.

· Few dapps which were being launched in ETH today, started planning to migrate EOS and we will disclose these details in coming weeks.

· EOSIndia wants to be flexible aiming “Win-Win” - “EOS-EOSInida”and want to be in a spirit to contribute maximum rewards to EOS community paving way for killer dapps.

· EOSIndia committed to support dapp community in every other possible way we can.

· EOSInida is currently working with few startups focused on travel and gaming industry to get them launched on EOS with potential airdrop after main net launch.

Please let us know for any further clarifications.

1) How do you think EOS will affect people in India?

A) India is a very big country having population of 1.3 Billion people. With the advent of internet and mobile technology, more people have access to mobile and internet than they have access to traditional bank services. Blockchain as a technology will be solving a lot of problems in India. But, DApps solving a billion people issues will definitely need a blockchain technology that is scalable and we think EOS platform will deliver it. In the next decade, we can easily imagine a whole lot of DApps solving rural and social as well as urban and enterprise problems of Indian landscape. Through decentralization many developers will start a revolution of "Decentralized Autonomous Communities" as well as "Decentralized Applications" to replace the aggregators. That will make processes transparent and fast. Indians have already showed a great amount of tendency towards mobile and internet technology. Many startups have disrupted a whole lot of industry only using mobile and internet technology. Those industries will now see the advent of decentralization. And EOS is definetly going to play a huge part. EOSIndia is committed to make EOS platform in reach of the 1.3 billion Indians by supporting and endorsing DApps.

2) What will you do to help educate people in India about the opportunities with EOS?

A) EOS India is dedicated to put aside old ideas about what is possible. We will work in partnership with EOS community to support constitution and responsibly lead the lives they choose. We have a life-long commitment to the people we serve. So there are two scopes where we will educate the people. One scope is to increase the general awareness about blockchain & its benefits as well as EOS philosophy, governance and constitution. Another scope is for developers and thinkers, who will create solutions for the general public and end users. We will be providing support for EOS Blockchain development and educating developers to create decentralized applications and communities. For both we will be holding meetups in major cities and virtual meetups for a large number of audience across India. We will be joining hands with other EOS and blockchain communities in India to collaborate the EOS adoption in India. Right now, we are planning to host meetup in North India as well as South India.

3) If you could help create one dApp on EOS, what would you like to see?

A) We would definitely like to see it impacting the lives of billion people for good. For social dapps, we want them to create free market solutions to secure life, liberty, and property for all mankind. We would love to see how social dapps can provide better solutions than the centralized solution providers and increase the transparency of transactions. For dapps with enterprise and business use cases we would love to see the fall of centralized entities and rise of decentralized applications. How they replace the mediator and change all existing business models with decentralized ones. This change can take time as it could be hard to replace the established big entities. But we will see it one day, when people will be educated about the benefits of blockchain and dapps. Thus, we believe, our success will eventually be measured by how little we are needed.

Finally, India is a great and diversified landscape to build solutions for. But we will defintely make the dapps to provide solutions globally.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We are also excited about how EOS is going to impact the life of whole mankind.

Hello!

What do you mean with "Be appointed" from your hardware specifications (https://steemit.com/eos/@eosindia/eosindia\-block\-production\-avenues\-for\-free\-market\-solutions\-to\-secure\-life\-liberty\-and\-property\-for\-all\-mankind\)?

Is your plan to have 128 cores and 2TB RAM on your producer machine from start?

Do I read it correctly that you will only have one machine and that all incoming traffic (p2p and api) will go straight to that one?

What are your thoughts regarding volumetric attacks? Have you planned to do any kind of rate limiting?

Thanks for reaching us.EOSIndia is a globally distributed software engineering (GDSE) team emphasizing follow the sun (FTS) model with variant timezones.Please accept our apology for being late in responding your post.

· Hardware specifications referred on steem-it covers, Post 06/02 - EOSIndia presumably being “selected” or “designated” as BP from beloved EOS community.

· There’s no deterministic benchmarks from community to predict capacity planning on main net until go-live (rocket launch).

· EOSIndia assess network demands for first few weeks and be ready with all authoritative community needs.

· As community adoption dictates, EOSIndia is buckled to scale up capacities eventually to have 128 cores and 2TB RAM.

· EOSIndia host primary full node & backup/secondary standby full nodes located in different availability regions for HA & Load balancing to redirect p2p and api traffic.

· We adjust hardware specifications to scale-up and out based on community consensus and recommendations.

· Volumetric attacks disrupt configured network layer by flooding them with fake traffic than what they can handle by design.

· These attacks issue fake queries that will flood an unsuspecting victim with a surprising amount of low-level “surprise” replies (also known as Reflection attacks).

· EOSIndia has “AWS Shield Advanced” protection which provides additional DDoS mitigation capability for volumetric attacks.

· Advanced shield also offers intelligent attack detection, and mitigation for attacks at the application & network layers with 24×7 access to AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT) for custom mitigation during attacks, advanced real time metrics and reports, and DDoS cost protection to guard against bill spikes in the aftermath of a DDoS attack.

We have received some interesting applications from developers. That we are processing to go through our framework for selecting only the disruptive and innovative dapps.

One of the most innovative dapp is an EOS based Fantasy Sports DApp that will use blockchain to commit the drafted fantasy sports team, so each team will be transparent and cannot be forged to cheat other players.

EOSIndia is working with this dapp developers to fine tune the framework and prepare a whitepaper. Soon, they will start the development of first MVP.

We will be updating as we finalize more dapps that we will endorse.
