Hi steemians EOS hodlers!
I just did my duty and voted for EOS Block Producer candidates.
Thanks as I don't trust any online tool, I decided to go with eoscanada command line tool, that looked easier to handle than the 'cleos' tool.
I'm aware that it is still a third party tool, but I took a look at the code (written in 'go' ) and it looked clean to me. Plus eoscanada was on my vote list so if I don't trust those guys, who else can I trust ?
As explained in the included read me, it is actually quite easy to vote with this tool :
Create a wallet and import your keys
in a terminal opened at the location of the eosc tool :
$ eosc vault create --import
you will then be prompted to enter your private key (or you two private keys ,if applicable, otherwise leave the second empty)
then It will ask for a passphrase to encrypt this key. The important here is the private key. Your passphrase will only help you using this tool whereas your key is your wallet !
once you imported your key , you can
Check the list of BP with :
$ eosc vote list
it will display the list of all known contending BPs.
In order to vote, you will need to
Know your eos account name.
You can check it by entering your PUBLIC KEY at https://eosauthority.com/account
Once you found all your candidates and your account name, you can
Vote
$ eosc vote producers yourAccountName BP1 BP2 BPn
example : eosc vote producer name4account eoscanadacom eosauthority eosotherbp
Easy right ?!
That way you can be proud of you helping this blockchain to start, and one day, when EOS will (hopefully) kick ass, you will be able to say :
I WAS THERE !
