Who has the Best ICO idea from our perspective? You’re motivated, you’re enthusiastic, and your idea shows real promise for the future of the EOS blockchain. The winner will receive a 3000 USD coupon for creating smart contracts on MyWish platform. MyWish wants to see the best ICO reach its full potential.
just for giving him a god idea about an ICO based o EOS platfrom wins 3000$. sounds weird to me.

Aim to serve the EOS Token holders via helping them to right away track their crypto coin balances with Wallet For EOS 3. Unlike the conventional platforms widely available online, that enables with access to EOS account balance (main EOS coin), Wallet For EOS comes with an exclusive function of managing the end user’s custom tokens in EOS platform.

Wallet For EOS is exclusively crafted for knowing the balance of your custom tokens built in EOS platform. End users can easily access to their crypto token balance by entering their token contract name and account name. Wallet For EOS is flawless, extensive and encompassing with all essential particulars.

One can seamlessly track the details pertaining to resource information like RAM and Bandwidth. Wallet For EOS gives account info like EOS, RAM (used/quota) and Bandwidth( CPU and NET bandwidth). It shows the status of both delegated and staked bandwidth to know the current status of the user.

Secondly, the platform gives the glimpse of the token holder displaying his account information; the main token balance, his/her current holdings with respect to total supply and also provides with a visual display on the percentage of ownership acquired by the token holder.

EOS.IO is software that introduces a blockchain architecture designed to enable vertical and horizontal scaling of decentralized applications (the “EOS.IO Software”). This is achieved through an operating system-like construct upon which applications can be built. The software provides accounts, authentication, databases, asynchronous communication and the scheduling of applications across multiple CPU cores and/or clusters. The resulting technology is a blockchain architecture that has the potential to scale to millions of transactions per second, eliminates user fees and allows for quick and easy deployment of decentralized applications. For more information, please read the EOS.IO Technical White Paper.

I am in no way connected or affiliated with EOS or block.one. This has kind of become the thread for EOS on Bitcointalk, so I thought I would edit the OP with links and information. OP May 6, 2017:

It sounds like this is essentially Ethereum, but much more efficient seeing as though it has asynchronous processing of smart contracts.

https://steemit.com/eos/@dantheman/join-me-at-consensus-2017-for-the-eos-launch-party

He hasn't released many details yet, but I guess the details will come in after Coindesk's Consensus conference.

I think after interacting with EOS platform I now realized the important of an ecosystem like this that is set to revolutionized the blockchain technology space, EOS is more scalable than most of the blockchains in operation now, with more resources;Ram,CPU etc in place.

EOS is more complex than Ethereum. So startup troubles are expected to go beyond Ethereum’s challenges. The question is: will it proof too complex?

 The Journey of Brendan Blumer: From Magic Swords to EOS Founder
As a co-founder of the world’s largest initial coin offering (ICO), Brendan Blumer is a familiar name in the global blockchain and crypto community. The fact that his barely two-year-old startup Block.one has so far managed to raise approximately $4 billion in an ICO is in itself.

Early Execs Leave Block.one, The Peter Thiel-Backed Crypto Startup Behind EOS

Four early employees and two contractors have resigned from the Hong Kong cryptocurrency company Block.one to start up StrongBlock, a new blockchain project that is currently under wraps.

David Moss, Thomas Cox, Brian Abramson and Corey J. Lederer, the employees, were the second, third, fourth and fifth to be hired by Block.one, the corporate parent that created the decentralized operating system and application environment EOS.

EOS, a computing protocol that competes with the technology behind the bitcoin and ethereum blockchains, supplies a native cryptocurrency of the same name and has a market capitalization valued at more than $5 billion today.

At Block.one, the four employees took on overwhelmingly technical roles. Moss had been the senior vice president of technology operations, Cox the vice president of product, Abramson the vice president of infrastructure and Lederer the senior director of technology products.

The executives joined Block.one last year: Moss and Cox in August and Abramson and Lederer in September. But software developers Jon Eric-Cook and Michael S. Mason, the contractors, had just begun remote work on EOS in the spring.

According to their LinkedIn profiles, Abramson, Lederer, Cook and Mason quietly left Block.one and EOS in the summer. Moss had already quit by May, a month before Block.one published the EOS main network.

EOS launched two test networks last year in September and December and two test networks this year in January and May. The main network went live in June and was released as an open-source software platform.

"We left because we saw a need in the blockchain marketplace that Block.one was not going to address," one of the former Block.one employees said, but did not specifically comment on StrongBlock's strategy to improve the EOS blockchain.

In a live tweet posted from the Global Media Blockchain Summit in Los Angeles last month, Moss, the CEO of StrongBlock, had hinted that "EOS will be a 787 and StrongBlock will be a custom 787 factory" while displaying a picture of two Boeing 787 airplanes sitting inside a hangar during a presentation.

The ex-Block.one associates formed StrongBlock in July with Branden Espinoza, an EOS governance specialist. StrongBlock is in stealth and does not plan on releasing its product soon.

Their exodus has opened up a talent vacuum yet to be filled on Block.one's leading technical team, despite the company having recently raised billions in investor money and initiated the early stages of a core product roll-out.

Billionaire backers
In August, Block.one completed a year-long, $4 billion initial coin offering (ICO), the largest crowdfunding event involving the sale of a new cryptocurrency. The Block.one ICO priced EOS virtual currency, at the time an ERC-20 standard ethereum token, by market demand.

One EOS had reached over $20 in April. Of the raise, $1 billion had been reserved for assisting in the EOS blockchain's development and financing.

A bevy of billionaires were among those who bet big on Block.one. Venture capitalist Peter Thiel, hedge fund managers Louis Bacon and Alan Howard and cryptocurrency mining giant Bitmain invested in the round of funding that ended at the ICO's close.

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz, Christian Angermayer and Lansdowne Investment Company Ltd. took part in a previous round, a company press release said.

Fred Wilson's Union Square Ventures and Multicoin Capital, a Texas cryptocurrency investment group backed by Andreessen-Horowitz and Chris Dixon, have separately bought EOS without investing in Block.one.

Block.one co-founders Brock Pierce, CEO Brendan Blumer and CTO Dan Larimer introduced EOS in May 2017.

Blumer, a video game entrepreneur, sold gaming accessories startup Gamecliff to Internet Gaming Entertainment in 2005 when he was 19. Larimer is known for architecting BitShares, a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange from 2013, and Steemit, a blockchain social media network from 2016.

Pierce, who is also the chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation and co-founder of the Tether stablecoin and blockchain fund Blockchain Capital, no longer held a role at Block.one after a March segment aired on the HBO talk show "Last Week Tonight" hosted by John Oliver.

Oliver jabbed at Pierce's eccentric lifestyle, out-there promotion of EOS and leadership at Digital Entertainment Network, a 1990s dot-com company that allegedly ran a Hollywood pedophilia ring from a Los Angeles McMansion, according to lawsuits filed in California accusing Pierce and two DEN executives of sexually assaulting three underage males at DEN house parties.

One of the executives, DEN co-founder and then CEO Marc Collins-Rector, had been previously arrested and convicted for sexually abusing a minor in New Jersey.

Buggy blockchain
EOS claims to solve bitcoin and ethereum's scalability, smart contract writing and decentralized functionality issues with delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS), a type of governance model for validating block units in a blockchain system to prevent network attacks and faulty transaction recording.

DPoS, a hybrid of the bitcoin blockchain's proof-of-work (PoW) and ethereum's proposed proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms, asks users to vote on "witnesses" to confirm blocks that are produced by 21 nodes. Parties pre-selected by EOS control the nodes.

In contrast, PoW forces network participants to expend computing resources by mining randomly generated cryptographic hashes to verify blocks without giving preference to individual users. Block overseers under PoS, a closer relative of DPoS, are assigned mining power based on the amount of cryptocurrency that they hold.

PoS and DPoS have been widely criticized for enabling subjectivity and centralization of network decision-making. Validation can be slower and less neutral than in PoW blockchain models because a super-majority can band together and unduly influence collective interests, staking model skeptics have warned.

Critics again voiced their concerns when the entire EOS network froze on June 16, just two days after the first release version, "Dawn," had activated. Block producers locked seven accounts the next day to stop malicious actors from hacking into wallets and stealing user funds.

Five days later, the EOS Core Arbitration Forum (ECAF) executed an "Emergency Measure of Protection Order" that halted inbound and outbound transactions to and from 27 wallet addresses without explanation, stoking outcry that the bans set a dangerous precedent allowing users to be terminated and transactions to be reversed without cause — a risk not seen on the bitcoin network.

A block producer, who was dealing with a medical emergency, was threatened with a lawsuit in the following week for failing to comply in a timely manner with another ECAF order that had instructed him to update a network configuration, according to screenshots of WhatsApp conversations posted by several users on Twitter.

Larimer, under pressure from the controversy, issued a statement recommending that the dispute resolution body retreat into a passive role.

Since going live, the EOS network has struggled with defective source code. EOS' bug bounty program awarded a freelance software developer six-figures on the first day of the main network's release at a rate of $10,000 for every error patched.

Business bump
Kyle Samani, a managing partner at Multicoin Capital and a vocal supporter of EOS, has not been discouraged. In a June interview with Fortune, Samani admitted EOS has made mistakes but compared them to the rough start that the ethereum blockchain has gradually overcome.

Multicoin Capital owns large positions in both ethereum and EOS, but has highly praised EOS in particular for its scalability, interoperability, low transaction fees, on-chain governance, arbitration constitution and inflationary economics in a glowing review downloadable for viewing on the fund's website.

Asked about Block.one being short-staffed, however, Samani told CoinDesk in an email:

"We don't have anything to add on this front."

Israeli decentralized cryptocurrency liquidity protocol Bancor last week publicized a cross-chain expansion from the ethereum to the EOS blockchain to leverage EOS' transaction speed and cost-savings. BancorX, the anticipated product in the move, will trade between ethereum and EOS tokens distributed from ICOs and decentralized applications.

But Moss, the former Block.one technology VP, has said in an interview with ZenLedger CEO Pat Larsen that EOS' claims about being able to process "millions of transactions per second" is "a lot of hyperbole" because "there are some physical limitations, like the speed of light."

The network had conducted only about 4,000 transactions at most at any given time, Moss clarified, but added it was "amazing" and "exhilarating" to take EOS live with DPoS voting.

As of June, ethereum had eight decentralized applications running on it with 300 or more active users, while EOS had three. Ethereum launched in 2015.

Block.one did not respond to requests for comment about StrongBlock and the departures.

Blockchain Eos interesting thing, but the main emphasis is on asynchronous smart contracts that can be executed in parallel with each other, which increases the processing speed.

They have been running a daily 2,000,000 token distribution cap. So basically that figure of tokens is split between all participating in that days distribution cap.
e.g. today at the moment of writing there is 1,676 ether in the pot, so everyone would get  1,193 EOS per ETH.

It fluctuates, some days are better than others in terms of how many people contribute.
After 350 days, that will be all the tokens distributed. We are at day 200.

Alternatively you can take the market price on any Exchanges which will be based on how many EOS have been distributed so far.

Referendum voting is coming!  This is fundamentally one of the most important features for the EOS Blockchain. It is up to the community to spread the word about what Referendum voting is and how to participate in it. Like the mainnet launch, we need 15% voting participation to pass a referendum proposal with 10% more YES than NO votes. This is no easy feat, and will only be achieved by education and awareness. We have been working away with the referendum contract team to bring you EOSvotes.io - a non-branded voting portal to achieve this type of widespread adoption.

https://medium.com/@generEOS/eosvotes-io-and-the-importance-of-a-referendum-contract-cf883398b283

just to ask: to vote you just need some eos staked...correct?

How many do you need at least?

You don't lose any of them to vote...correct?
Yes you need some EOS to be staked at least 10 EOS and it can be unstaked for 72 hours if you want do it,

yes you will not lose your EOS for vote, it is just staked and you can do unstaked waiting for 72 hours.

You can use scatter to vote as wallet of EOS it integrated with genereos

happy to hear that EOSfinex is decentralized because in future decentralized exchange wil be more used and famous then centralized
and about performance if everything will okay and EOSfinex successful then eth value will decrease
and also more project of decentralized blockcahin and exchange are in process
in future their will be great competition ahead by my point of view
Yes i agree your opinions due to the decentralize exchangers is new innovations in the market of trading and in my personal opinions EOS blockchain is suitable for decentralize exchangers due to it can gives fast transaction processing per second be compared with other platform for more information about it, we can see on here https://blocktivity.info/ let's wait and see about the progress of decentralize application dapps on EOS platform.
i hope you are right decentralized eos exchange will take the crypto in next step to the future
and that should be like eth decentralized exchange in use. i mean it should be easy to use but fast in transaction
i think eos decentralized exchange will take time to develop where eth decentralized exchange are now
