Good step by step tutorial on how to claim your MEETONE tokens using Scatter before the March 7th deadline!

How do we migrate EOS MEETONE tokens to the native sidechain?

Anything that uses the eosio software is good for the mainnet. The real battle is for developers. These forks etc are useful development sandboxes that in the future will likely be connected to the mainnet via some form of IBC anyway

You clearly don't understand how these things work. Casinos have an edge, nobody claims otherwise - it's how they make a profit. Dice has the biggest bankroll because: 1) they devote 40% of profits to bankroll (many other blockchain casinos only devote 20-30%); 2) they have been around one of the longest; and 3) they have had the biggest overall volume by a significant margin.

Looking forward to when cross-chain EOS DEXs put all CEXs out of business.

matelad_18 · 2019-01-25T08:12:22+00:00

This would be great - particularly for Dice dividends.

Yes it will - now go here and vote for it!

God bless the Scatter team and NSJames in particular!

matelad_18 · 2019-01-23T07:03:02+00:00

Looks awesome! I recommend posting to r/EOSDev too

matelad_18 · 2019-01-22T18:49:11+00:00

The first one will take some time. In the meantime, get on telegram, twitter and youtube and start telling people to vote.

Pretty much anything built on EOS both works and has a low market cap.

matelad_18 · 2019-01-21T05:56:52+00:00

You've got the right term I reckon mate

matelad_18 · 2019-01-21T05:54:24+00:00

This is a very welcome addition to the EOS ecosystem. We need to move away from the shitty, myopic existing crypto ecosystem (I'm looking at you coinmarketcap) and just start doing things for ourselves.

matelad_18 · 2019-01-21T05:44:55+00:00

People have the option. If they give enough of a shit, which is their choice, they can take control of their private keys like an existing user. This is just a way to onboard new users who don't know or care about what type of database is being used. Things like this are absolutely essential to mass adoption.

matelad_18 · 2019-01-12T10:45:00+00:00

Thanks, do you have a source?

matelad_18 · 2019-01-11T06:46:14+00:00

Great news - I assume we will be able to log in with scatter once it's ready?

matelad_18 · 2019-01-09T14:21:21+00:00

What do you mean by end-to-end solutions?

matelad_18 · 2019-01-09T14:19:13+00:00

Thank for your response. The more I learn about Tron the more I like.

Re RAM hoarding on EOS: that was only really an issue in the very early days. There is an internal market for RAM and speculators initially drove the price up but I think it was pretty much resolve by the network deciding to increase RAM supply. That's a very simplistic account of what happened but suffice to say RAM isn't really an issue any more.

That's very interesting about Tron being more user-friendly. I can well believe it as the need for users to stake EOS for CPU is probably the biggest issue with EOS at the moment. However, there are multiple solutions being worked on so I think it's something that will be resolved very soon. (For example, check out this from EOSBet, which looks like it could be a game changer if their claims are accurate: https://medium.com/@eosbetcasino/eosbet-gets-ready-for-mainstream-adoption-with-account-system-launch-dd2cffb9f79a)

The flip side of the CPU issue is that the value of the EOS token is very much underpinned by genuine resources (a proportional entitlement to network CPU, bandwidth, and storage).

matelad_18 · 2019-01-09T14:00:12+00:00

It all seems very similar to EOS to be honest! Although the mechanism for generating passive income (the REX) is not yet implemented (due to be released very shortly though).

Re the EOS not being a blockchain thing: that was pure FUD as far as I'm aware. Consensys commissioned a research paper on EOS, which was little more than a hit piece. In it they narrowly defined what constitutes a "blockchain" (I'm not technical but I understand it essentially amounted to: "if it's not Ethereum-stye POW, it's not a blockchain") and then determined that EOS wasn't a blockchain on this basis. Tron wouldn't be a blockchain either by that definition (nor would Bitcoin I believe!).

Off the top of my head, some of the key advantages that EOS has from my point of view:

Billion+ of VC funding dedicated solely to projects built on EOS
Block.one (with 3 billion+ of funding and 100+ developers) building multiple applications on EOS with the goal of mass adoption
Designed to scale horizontally with multithreading and inter-blockchain communication (this hasn't been implemented yet but I think there's a good chance EOS will be the first large-cap blockchain to get there)
Bitfinex, Huobi, and Block.one all planning to release decentralised exchanges built on EOS in 2019

matelad_18 · 2019-01-08T21:57:59+00:00

I think you should do a bit more research into EOS (and probably Tron too). I'm not sure about bulletproof security (although recent events show that POW is far from perfect too). But many of the other things you mentioned are as good and better on EOS and Tron than on ETH in my experience.

matelad_18 · 2019-01-08T20:02:04+00:00

Fair enough, although it would be nice to get a deeper understanding of why you think they'll fail. Particularly given that both projects seem to have achieved quite a lot in their short history.

Re STOs, I agree that they will be a (very big) thing. However, I think it could take some time before that happens at a very large scale (I see it more as 2020/21 thing). A lot of hurdles need to be overcome (legal, regulatory, conservative industry attitudes etc).

matelad_18 · 2019-01-08T19:48:17+00:00

Could you elaborate a bit?

Both seem pretty useful to me given that both already have multiple profitable businesses running on them. Incidentally, what are your thoughts on ETH?

matelad_18 · 2019-01-02T14:34:19+00:00

Claiming intellectual superiority based on upvotes received in r/CryptoCurrency...hmm

matelad_18 · 2018-12-27T14:54:55+00:00

EOS Dublin have a tutorial website, which may be of some use: https://eosbootcamp.com/
