0.000 HBDEOS 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!** <center></center> ## **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:**  ## **And EOS New York officially announced their [inaugural meetup](http://meetu.ps/e/DFpN9/Db3Nq/a "inaugural meetup"):**  ## **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:**  ## **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:**              ## **Go EOS!** ## **EOS Go is a community of people launching EOS blockchain - future of the web 3.0 - as envisioned by block.one. Anyone can participate in this historic event by voting with tokens, hosting/attending meetups and launch parties, writing the EOS constitution, picking data centers for block producing, and much more.** ## **If you're interested in being involved with the EOS genesis block, please start by finding your niche on the [community forums](https://forums.eosgo.io) and resteem us or [tweet](https://twitter.com/go_eos "tweet") EOS Go to help spread the word.** ## **Check out BeyondBitcoin.club for weekly EOS Talks every Tuesday at 8pm EST with @officialfuzzy @steempowerpics and @africa !** ## **Telegram users can receive announcements for these daily summaries and other community updates [here](https://t.me/eosgo_announcements).** <a href="https://forums.eosgo.io"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6030588/uploads/editor/09/1ivdcfo3v5v6.png"/></a>
