EOS Alliance is now live!
The EOS Alliance website has just gone live, The Alliance' goal is to proivde a focal point for the EOS community, and bring together different opinions, voices and ideas of the community:
Where is this highly important in those chaotic post launch times, but i always thought the good people form @EOSgo would carry this further.
Apparently the Alliance is much better funded, and counts prominent figures among their core team like…:
– Thomas Cox (he is just everywhere)
– Brock Pierce (officially back)
– AKON (a well known – not to me – hip hopper)
With two key people formerly employed by B1 i really wonder how this alliance came into existence, and where the funding does come from, the new website certainly shows professionalism (and thus the availability of money). All is clear some BPs are involved. Which is good.
Just to summarize their core goals:
Community communication: This is important because now its all controlled by some whales. Curious how this is intended to play out and how it will provide a better (and democratic forum) like we have on EOSGo forum or the different telegram channels. There was some talk about guidance as well.
Outbound communication: Well not the highest priority in my view, because a performing blockchain will be its own best advertisement.
Advancing governance: Here the goal is to facilitate the creation of community build platforms, as well as the development of a new community constiution, which should contest the constitutional torso currently favoured by b1/dan.
UPDATE: they just published a Medium post where they outline their goals:
Important additions: - - Over 50 BPs are already backing this initiative, so it's already quite broad!
- The Board Team now appointed is to be elected.
- Kevin Wilcox of @EOSgo will handle media, feel its great he is on board.
What’s your thought about this new Alliance? Any idea about the marginalisation of EOSGo in favour of it? What can we expect?
One more thing on my own account: MY EARLIER ARTICLE MADE IT INTO THE NEWS…. yes! 😉: Link

Great post...and congrats on your article making in the news! That's great man!
By the way....since you're the man to ask about EOS, I thought you may want to weigh in on the conversation in the following post....

I tried my best to answer his questions but likely missed something.
A whale by the name of Riverever has just put a post on Reddit saying that the Alliance is functioning like a shadow government and telling people not to vote for the BPs involved. I'm not a member of Reddit as I think the platform is rather toxic, divisive and self-destructive but if you are and want to add something ....
Thanks for this hint, the discussion in question has a lot of helpful additional info. E.g. over 50 BPs are supporting the initiative, I do see the threat of centralisation, but i also see the outlook of a relevant, community governed platform, eos is in urgent need of.
This pissed whale is imo a very good sign, as it shows, they feel their annonymously untrocolledly wielded power threatened.
Reddit btw is ok, and currently with a dried out Steem chain the best source of information re Eos.
Yes, I'm of the opinion that a pissed whale is a positive thing too.
