EOS.IO Slack is ready

Just a heads up, I created #Russia, #China, and #Korea (lots of interest from those countries I've noticed) rooms on the slack so native speakers can have a place to congregate. So, if you know anyone that speaks those respective languages, invite them on in! Gotta make sure EOS is available to the masses globally!

anyone else having trouble getting to the invitation link (getting request timed out)?

also, does this mean much of the "real" EOS activity will be "migrating" over from the telegram channel? the chat there is running so fast I can't even keep up anymore! lol

I was able to get in just fine and very quickly. Try visiting eos.slack.com and/or eoscommunity.slack.com and see if that helps.

If you're new to slack, you'll find that it's WAY better structured than Telegram with a decent amount more functionality. Telegram is supposedly end to end encrypted (while Slack is not), but we don't really know that due to its closed-source nature. Not that discussing EOS is some kind of top-secret stuff, but I'm weird about principals haha.

You'll certainly find it much easier to "keep up," in Slack.

Thanks Matt that's what I figured. I did try eos.slack.com and eosio.slack.com (which also seems to work). Problem is they all say: "Don't have an account on this team yet? Contact the team administrator for an invitation".

Maybe the invitation link is just down temporarily. I'll check in periodically, and hopefully it'll start working again at some point!

just wanted to update, seems the invite link http://slack.eos.io/ seems to be working again, but gotta say that so far, it's a bit "lonely" in there! lol

they actually shut it down about a month ago, citing the following reasoning:

Hi @everyone. In order to better protect our community against future scams and fraudulent activity on Slack, we’ve made the decision to shut down this community channel indefinitely starting tomorrow, July 13, 2017. Please visit our website EOS.io for the latest updates and to find other ways to get in touch with us. It's unfortunate that it got to this point but we felt it was in the best interest of everyone.
