Title change suggestion
I think we should change to the name of this page to eosio as they have rebranded yesterday. omegshi147 • talk 21:39, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Agree. There should be a wikipedia article for "EOSIO" (this one, which is about the blockchain software), and a new wikipedia article for "EOS" which is the blockchain using the EOSIO software.

awful sourcing

Request to add Wikilink
As per MOS:DL, please create wiki link for Brendan Blumer in the infobox just like it is done for Daniel Larimer in the same field.

This needs to be done in the "original authors" field of the infobox because adding a wikilink in the infobox is helpful for readers to navigate as per MOS:DL.

This is also the first occurrence of the name in the article and as far as the article for Brendan Blumer exists, this should be wikilinked. 203.82.59.110 (talk) 11:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Still under active development
On the sidebar of the article, change Latest release from 1.1.4 / August 8, 2018 to 1.8.1 / 09-Jul-2019

Sources: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/releases and the release notes: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/releases/tag/v1.8.1

The last line of the 'History' section needs to be updated similarly. Please change 1.1.4 to 1.8.1

Distributed equally?
"computing resources distributed equally among EOS cryptocurrency holders" This is misleading Vizslah (talk) 13:42, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

It is definitely misleading. A more accurate statement would be something like "computing resources are distributed in proportion to the number of tokens staked for each of the two renewable resources, CPU and Network."

Brock Pierce
Why isn't Brock Pierce even mentioned in article?? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym3gk05iAQQ What's up with EOS? - Brock Pierce Interviewed by Roger Ver] video (uploaded by "Bitcoin.com - Official Channel" on Oct 28, 2019) at YouTube has thumbnail (aka preview image) of "Exclusive interview with Brock Pierce co-founder of EOS". Wikipedia's Brock Pierce article currently says "currency was named EOS and marketed through a new vehicle called Block.one of which Pierce was variously described as co-founder, head, minority partner and advisor." --EarthFurst (talk) 00:52, 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Brock was included in article once (perhaps more than once), but was removed with this edit in 2018 April with edit summary of a story at fortune.com that "Block.one" had parted way with Brock. But that fortune.com story also said Brock Pierce had "co-founded" the startup Block.one which was "developing blockchain platform EOS", so i think article should include him in the block.one section of this Wikipedia article. --EarthFurst (talk) 02:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Brock should be mentioned in the article's history. But if he is no longer involved, not sure if he should be in the infobox. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 04:19, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Two changes, there are more inaccuracies.

1)Change this line EOSIO's Dawn 1.0 was launched on the EOSIO mainnet on June 1, 2018 To EOSIO's Dawn 1.0 was launched on the EOSIO mainnet on June 10, 2018 and was activated on June 14, 2018.

Requested move 7 September 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: no consensus. No formal support or oppose arguments three weeks after being contested at the technical move requests page. If the proposer can cite references that show keeping this article title would violate policy, I am more than happy to reconsider this close.

Change intro of EOS.io to better reflect the relation between block.one, EOS and EOS.io
"EOS.IO is a blockchain protocol based on the cryptocurrency EOS."
 * What I think should be changed:

On the faq for EOS.io it states: "EOSIO is a highly performant open-source blockchain platform, built to support safe, compliant, and predictable digital infrastructures. It supports public networks such as EOS, Telos, and WAX, and private networks alike. EOSIO is fast, flexible, and forward-driven, enabling developers, entrepreneurs, co-creators, and institutions to build and innovate with confidence." which more or less aligns with B1 statement on their about page.

Removing all the corporate/advertising speak it basically boils down to the following: "EOS.IO is a blockchain protocol built by block.one that allows people to build their own cryptocurrency token and governance.
 * Change it to:

This makes it seem as if EOS.io is relying on EOS for it to work, which is factually wrong. The EOS.io framework allows for different cryptocurrencies such as EOS, Telos and WAX to build on top of EOS.io. I get that the naming convection is very confusing but having wrong information on the wiki page for said protocol/product makes it even more confusing.
 * Why it should be changed:

87.208.247.35 (talk) 18:05, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * References supporting the possible change:

Hi, we cannot use eos blogs as an WP:RS on cryptocurrency articles, as we have a consensus in place to only use mainstream sources for all cyrpto articles. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:10, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
