Hi! @techblogger here, with an important update about our current efforts in becoming an official EOS Block Producer.
It has only been a few weeks since we announced our candidacy for EOS Block Producer and if you haven't yet read it, please feel free to do so before moving forward with this update.
BuildTeam EOS Block Producer Candidacy Report
Since announcing candidacy as an EOS block producer, BuildTeam has gone ahead and joined the Jungle testnet in an effort to gear up and become familiar with the day to day operations in running a node on the network.
If this interests you, take a second to review the Jungle Testnet Monitor page and find BuildTeam in the list of operating nodes: http://dev.cryptolions.io/#home
In the process of operating our node we've been upgrading to keep up with the testnet and have already gotten a lot of practice with proper upgrade procedures. Beyond that, we have protocols in place to make sure the node is monitored closely and we are able to take quick action in case any issues arise.
Take a look at the screenshot below:
Considering this is the 'Jungle' testnet, we initially appropriately named our node 'btblackviper' and the subsequently renamed it to 'buildteameos'. Based on the experience outlined above are ready to take on the responsibility of becoming one of 21 official block producers responsible for securing the EOS mainnet.
We think we have a very competitive announcement and a very good chance at securing one of these spots. To highlight the strengths of our application we've made a short video so people can get a quick look at what makes us a suitable candidate:
Thank you for your support in helping us achieve this goal. One of our main aims is to unify the communities of all graphene based blockchains and bring about a new age of cooperation and growth. Together we can build the cryptospace in a way that promotes social responsibility and more equitable exchange of value amongst 3rd parties.
