LONDON (Bywire News) - Every week the EOS community gets together for a fireside chat and general update about all things happening in the ecosystem. This week, things kicked off with a presentation from
Bywire founder Michael O'Sullivan thanked the community for making the Bywire app the number one pool-funded project on Pomelo. He also took time to announce an exciting development in the form of the Bywire DAO.
Bywire DAO
Michael started off his announcement by saying: “oil used to be the most valuable asset in the world however it was soon taken over by data. But not just data alone, the most valuable asset is data you can trust. Oil overtook aluminium as the most valuable commodity in the world because of its use in emerging technology.
“Without engines, oil has little value. Bad, inaccurate or false data is about as valuable to society as oil is to a thirsty cow. In fact, IBM estimates that bad data leads to losses of about 3.1 trillion dollars every year. The opportunity loss is unquantifiable, but the damage done to society is measurable. There is no more benefit of the doubt, society needs to see evidence to prove something is trustworthy before they trust it.”
Michael went on to add that “it’s clear governments have failed and these governments own media which is in exchange for their bested interests have also failed. But the news is a force for good when trustworthy, news is the safest way we can hold power to account”
As part of that, he went on to announce the launch of Bywire’s new decentralised autonomous organization. This will be formally launched with a YouTube stream scheduled for October 3.
Zaisan European Conferences Impressions
Rhett provided an update from TechX Amsterdam Rhett where he had been promoting EOS. There were, he said, two days in Amsterdam, and two days in Cologne with a total of three presentations. He says in general these went down pretty well with plenty of familiar faces returning from the first presentation for the second and third.
D.U.N.E
This week saw a new release of D.U.N.E software. This is a tool that allows users with a compatible OS to run Antelope Software without installing a different operating system. It
makes life easier for Antelope developers to run nodes and it further highlights the importance of building EOS for the contributors.
Scalability+ Blue Paper
Scalability+ highlights the high throughput of Antelope blockchains while highlighting issues with RAM usage on these chains.
The big takeaway from the blue paper is the optimisation of how data is stored so that there's no need for hundreds of gigabytes of RAM to run a node.
Sponsored EOS Bees Swarms, NFT Series
Another successful project from the latest Pomelo series of EOS Bees. Jesse Jaffe was on hand to thank to the community for their contributions. They are using the fun for a subsidised swarm campaign to promote certain Tweets which benefit EOS. The campaign’s main goal is to allow the EOS community to decide what Tweets get swarmed.
An article was released here on Bywire containing the BEES chatbot on telegram with a process of naming the swarm and the Twitter link which will then be swarmed. The content has some parameters, and the BEES team will act as a filter system as the content must be contain the hashtag #EOS and can’t be insulting to any party.
A swarm is coordinating influencers from big to small and leading an engagement on tweets, which promotes content and contributes to sharing the EOS message.
They will be doing seven swarms per week for 12 weeks and there are five remaining this week. If they carry over, the BEES will pick it to analyse the interest in the initiative. Another detail is that the Tweet doesn’t have to be your own content as long as it adheres to the parameters set.
Last week there was a collaborative NFT for the EOS dApp ecosystem. This quarter there will be eight NFTs that are blended to create a puzzle. They cost 10 $EOS per pack and there are five NFTs in the pack with eight pieces to collect and blended into a full map.
Pomelo Season 3
The season 3 survey has been released. It gives the Pomelo team feedback for improving the Pomelo user experience. Grant creators can now claim their funds, but many still haven’t as they can claim them at any time.
It has been, then, a successful season three and the announcement of season four is imminent.
