Checking some dApps.
Made a first kind of chauvistic vote for @roelandp.
Looking for more.
Getting my account ha3domygenes come to life on the EOS blockchain was easy using the Scatter browser extention. Just copy-pasted my private key and got my account ready to go. And my EOS was there. With 12.5% in wallet, the rest split 50-50 into CPU and Network stake. That I found out when I installed EOS-Vote by Greymass on a Linux computer. Now where to change that weird, but funny, account name?
The first thing I did was to vote for Block Producers? Nah, I wend straight for the MonsterEOS dApp {Decentralized Application}. Number 819 I got, named it OalDamster, now I have to wait before I can awake it, wonder if it resembles me. How old I am? Never mind that, it is all done for science! Slightly more serious than some blockchained Tamagochi game might DecenTwitter considered to be. Also works together Scatter, made a first Tweet, will try to do one later with a link to this post.
After all of that excitement I decided to give EOS-Vote a try. It is developed by Greymass, well known to us Steemians. Did one vote, for fellow Nederlander and Steemian RoelandP but will go for a next round. Greymass will get a vote for sure, do not know about the other 28. (Suggestions are welcome.) In the EOS-Vote application I will be able to change my EOS amount at stake. They amounts determine how much CPU and Network I can use on the EOS blockchain. The amount of RAM used is without stake and has an EOS price attached to it. Apparantly my account only uses 50% RAM, no further clue here. Will have to dig deeper into the EOS matter first.
So far.
Getting started with EOS was straight forward, using things like Scatter. And as far as I know an account can be created without owning any EOS. A small amount, 0.01, will be staked on NET and CPU, while some RAM becomes available too. No idea what can be done with that though. Can it get you a free MonsterEOS, or will you be able to tweet at DecenTwitter and vote for Block Producers? Have not tried to create an account from scratch using Scatter yet. Yet, I think it should be possible.
Will give it another go soon. And so far it was fun trying some less serious dApps. Or just watch what happens on a blockchain level using the EOStracker website. Where I saw that there are about 192'000 accounts already. And it appears that this DPOS {Delegated Proof Of Stake} blockchain family member is taking it easy. Just like Bitshares and Steem not even breaking a single drop of sweat. Time for some serious big dApps to turn up the heat a bit?
May the Cryptos be with us!
If I had only bought me some more...
