EOS Telegram Summary 1/8/18 - Users Launch EOS Testnet, Cardano Sends a Troll
## **Today's summary cover image provided by @johnchamberlain - there's also an [ongoing contest](https://steemit.com/eos-project/@officialfuzzy/community-art-challenge-1-eosgo-usd370-beyondbit-prizes-inside "ongoing contest") hosted by @officialfuzzy and @steempowerpics to design our permanent EOS Telegram Summary cover image. Thank you everyone!**

## **First and foremost, we are trying to reach out to EOS Korea, Japan, China, and anyone else unaware - a user testnet has been set up (more info below) and is open for technical types who have played around in the [EOS.IO Github](https://www.github.com/eosio "EOS.IO Github") and are interested in producing blocks - please email kev@eosgo.io or [tweet us](https://twitter.com/go_eos "tweet us") or leave a note in the [EOS English Telegram](https://t.me/EOSproject "EOS English Telegram").**

## **Onto the summary. Early morning discussion in EOS general focused heavily on Cardano and their response to [Dan's dissection](https://steemit.com/cardamon/@dan/peer-review-of-cardano-s-ouroboros "Dan's dissection"). Chat became rather inflammatory and Peter G. found out the fire was being stoked by a troll:**

## **General chat kept reeling:**

## **Later that morning, a conversation about taxes:**

## **And government theft:**

## **Which segued into a discussion about government trust, and Europe put the kid (U.S.) in check:**

## **Some pricing discussion managed to slip past the mighty mods, mainly thanks to a [momentary panic](https://themerkle.com/coinmarketcap-excludes-south-korean-prices-total-market-cap-drops-by-50bn/ "momentary panic"):**

## **Keats in Rome started the Wikipedia ([soon to be Everipedia?](https://www.coindesk.com/encyclopedia-blockchainica-wikipedia-co-founder-disrupt-creation/ "soon to be Everipedia?")) page for EOS:**

## **Scott T noticed [Dan's tweet](https://twitter.com/bytemaster7/status/950381941391491073 "Dan's tweet"):**

## **Scott T continued with an [article written by Dan last year](https://steemit.com/blockchain/@dantheman/a-better-approach-to-turing-complete-smart-contracts "article written by Dan last year"), which helps explain the evolution of his thinking towards EOS:**

![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030588/uploads/editor/s8/rq8yhc5gjgbg.png "")

## **And EOS New York officially announced their [inaugural meetup](http://meetu.ps/e/DFpN9/Db3Nq/a "inaugural meetup"):**

![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030588/uploads/editor/mg/4sjfgzs60m6q.png "")

## **Someone in EOS Developers asked about [hardware wallet support](https://steemit.com/eos/@dan/eos-io-developer-update-support-for-apple-s-secure-enclave-and-similar-technologies "hardware wallet support") for EOS:**

![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030588/uploads/editor/38/q7ira58394v0.png "")

## **And onto the real action! In a small channel the EOS block producers forged a user run test net (<a href="mailto:kev@eosgo.io">make contact</a> if you're tech-savvy and want to produce blocks). In their words, a summarized version minus many restarts and error fixes:**
