New EOS update
Information was also discernible about the role of the company behind EOS.
While Block.One committed to a diminished role in the EOS launch, and to refrain from voting on proceedings with its tokens, founder and CTO Dan Larimer showed up on the EMLG call to answer questions.
He noted Block.One plans to publish an update very soon, bringing the EOS software to version 1.0.2. This was described as a soft update, dealing with issues such as bugs in the whitelist and blacklists for smart contracts. Multiple block producers said that soft updates should have no impact on the protocol in production and in fact it wouldn't matter if some ran on 1.0.1 and others ran on 1.0.2.
But the announcement appeared to engender uncertainty, which Rose confirmed multiple times on EOS NY's Telegram channel.
In a statement also shared on that channel, a block producer candidate wrote it had voted "no-go" because its team had found errors with account creation and transfer finality. CoinDesk was not able to authentic these statements.
One group within the EMLG has expressed caution throughout, and the block producer candidate out of Hong Kong, HKEOS, was one of its first members.
That group's Twitter feed affirmed its "no go" vote last night, writing:
"This is short-term pain, for long-term gain."
