EOS Argentina Community Project

Eos Argentina is a community based Block Producer, what this means is that we are not a company and we don't seek profits. Any surplus generated by the BP will be invested in Community Building and EOS Tech Promotion as we outlined in our introduction post:

“Our main goal is to promote Blockchain adoption through the use of EOS in a country that is already famous for being Blockchain friendly and emulate this success in other parts of South America. We believe that our continent is in urgent need for Blockchain Transparency.”

Community Project

In order to do this, we have already been organizing Meetups and Hackathons in our local Community (Buenos Aires), but with the help and resources of a top BP we could do much more, in our mid term plans we have:

• Create an EOS Academy for free-consulting and teaching the use of the EOS Blockchain.
• EOS Latam Incubator, in this short time, since we announced our candidacy, we have already been approached by a few startups that want to build Dapps on the EOS Blockchain. We plan to support this startups with our guidance, developer support and bandwidth.
• Attend LaBitConf, the biggest Latin American Bitcoin Conference and secure a speaker place to talk about the EOS Tech and its capabilities.
• Collaborate with other BP candidates from Latin America to organize EOSLatam Summit, a yearly conference hosted in different cities of our continent.
• More meetups and hackathons, not only in Buenos Aires, but in other parts of Argentina and Latin America.
  We have been developing eosfaucet.io, a tool that allows the dev community to obtain free testnet tokens to develop and test out the EOS Blockchain.
• EOS Merchandising, shirts, stickers and other P.O.P material to be distributed in our events.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of a list of many community building ideas that we wish to implement. We know that Blockchain Tech can change the life of the poorest in Latin America and we want to build an army of developers that carry this message to the towns and cities of Latin America.

Telegram Channel

To help us build our community we have created a Telegram Channel in spanish aimed at our Latin American EOS users, the channel can be used for tech support and advice but it is also a place were we would like our community to meet. Here is the invite link: https://t.me/joinchat/AUBfjQwHHMFPvshLX-kuRA

Community Testnets

To support the community efforts and help us prepare for the launching of the EOS platform, we have set up a node in the Jungle Testnet:

Organization: eosargentina.io
node: n2.eosargentina.io
Port: 8888
p2p: 9876
Producer name: dogo

The node can be seen in the Jungle Testnet monitor and you can connect to it by adding this line to your config.ini file:

p2p-peer-address = n2.eosargentina.io:9876

We would like to thank @cryptolions for the great work they are doing in maintaining the testnet and giving support to its users.

We also plan to incorporate nodes in other testnets and will announce it accordingly.
