EOS Eco Development Weekly Reports( EOSUnion周报第四期) |0818-0823

Part 1 EOSUnion Observation

【EOSUnion supports the establishment of the EOS Alliance】
On August 18, 2018, the EOS Alliance was formally established. This new coordination team will provide a collaborative, transparent decision-making and information sharing platform for the EOS community to further leverage EOS's full potential as the world's fastest governance blockchain.

EOSUnion Observation: EOS is one of the most ambitious public blockchains of our time. People have always had high expectations for it. However, after the EOS mainnet went online, many governance gaps have hindered the development of EOS ecosystem. As the community struggles forward, we are very happy to see the emergence of the EOS Alliance, which means we have taken another step forward as a community EOS eco governance.

【Fomo3D games will be a battlefield for hackers to compete with each other】
The first round of the Fomo3D game officially ended. The prize amount of this round is up to 10469 eth, which is 22 million RMB. The winner has transferred the bonus to a new address. The Fomo3D game has entered the second round.

EOSUnion Observation: It seems just like a lucky person bought the biggest prize "lottery ticket", but the fact is that the hacker has a "pretty" attack on the game by familiarity with the principle of smart contract!
The trust-worthy, non-tamperable principle and the characteristics of the blockchain itself, which are based on the core of Fomo3D games, conflict with the best interests of the miners. That is, as long as the miners prioritize the high-fee transactions, the order of the transactions is controllable! This has seriously damaged the playability of this type of game, making it a battlefield for hackers to compete with each other. In the long run, it will overdraw the credibility of the game and accelerate the decline of Fomo3D games.

Part4 Authority View

【BM Recent Telegram Comments】
Recently, someone asked once again in the EOS Telegram about what the big news is going to be announced. BM revealed that it will transform the DAPP development, but BM does not reveal how. He said, sounds like it would be helpful to current dapp developers if you shared this news via a roadmap rather than a surprise announcement down the road. To summerize, in London, the big news we can look forward to is: Cold Wallet, REX, Identity, and so much more.
Regarding free account, VRAM and RAM, BM said, If your users sign up through our coming service then you won't have to pay for their accounts. For B1 to sustain such a service for a large number of users the producers will have to increase RAM supply. Ideally we would have dramatic increase in RAM within the next 12 months. Ideally producers would have real hardware and not cloud services. RAM is not for investment, real RAM is the goal.

Part5. DAPP Eco

【Chintai delayed release until August 28th】
Chintai, an EOS-based token leasing platform, said in Medium that the platform release date will be delayed to August 28.

EOSUnion周报第四期|0818-0823

一、 EOSUnion观察

【EOSUnion支持EOS基金会（EOS Alliance）的成立】
2018年8月18日，EOS基金会正式成立。这个新的协调小组将为EOS社区提供协作、透明的决策和信息共享平台，进一步发挥EOS作为世界上速度最快的治理型区块链的全部潜力。
EOSUnion观察：EOS是我们这个时代最雄心勃勃的公共区块链之一，人们对它一直有着极高的期望，但EOS主网上线后，诸多治理空白导致EOS生态发展受阻。就在社区艰难前行之际，我们非常高兴看到EOS Alliance的出现，这意味着我们作为一个社区EOS生态治理上又向前迈出了一步。
【Fomo3D类游戏或将沦为黑客间互相竞技的搏斗场】
Fomo3D游戏第一轮正式结束，本轮奖金额度高达10469 eth，换算成人民币约2200万，中奖者已将奖金转移到新地址。目前 Fomo3D游戏已进入第二轮。
EOSUnion观察：看上去只是一个好运的人买到了那张最大奖的“彩票”，可事实却是，攻击者凭借着对智能合约原理的熟悉，对该游戏进行了一场“漂亮”的攻击！
类Fomo3D游戏核心所依赖的可信、不可篡改原则和区块链本身的特性与矿工利益最优原则相冲突，也就是说，只要矿工优先打包高手续费的交易，那么交易的顺序就是可控的！这样已经严重损害了该类游戏的可玩性，使其沦为黑客间互相竞技的搏斗场。长此以往，会透支游戏公信力，加速Fomo3D类游戏的衰亡。

四、大咖观点

【BM近日电报群发言】
近日在电报群里网友再次问到即将公布的大新闻有哪些，BM透露道，它将会改变DAPP的发展，但是具体哪个方面的，BM没有明确，他表示，不仅仅是技术发展路线图会对DAPP发展有益，获得一个确定的标准并提出一个完整的想法也有助于开发者。经网友整理，在伦敦，我们可以期待的大新闻有：冷钱包、REX、Identity,以及更多其他的东西。
另外，关于账户免费、VRAM和RAM的问题，BM表示：即将推出免费注册账户的服务，为了使B1能够为大量用户维持这样的服务，BPs将不得不增加RAM供应，理想情况下，我们将在未来12个月内大幅增加RAM，BPs将拥有真正的硬件而不是云服务。RAM不是为了投资，真正的RAM才是目标。
