Eden Test Election #2: We Have a New Satoshi
The new Satoshi is … Ami Heines
The other board members are:
Ami proposed the following during the first round:
An open source package that integrates with hardware (e.g. biometric) to secure things like domain names by creating public/private keys.
In concluding his statement, Ami used these words to demonstrate a willingness to push the limits of existing technology:
I’m not sure if it’s possible...
Networks within Networks
There’s a lot to unpack in Ami’s idea. The open source package could exist as a ‘mini site’ for friends and family to open EOS accounts. Things like security procedures could also be integrated into the ‘family’ dynamic, and/or even the employment of multisig via an extended community.

A SECOND PERSPECTIVE
Watching the political playoff system a second time around delivers a more powerful feel. I attribute it to having a Satoshi (Chris Barnes) in office. If this is your first experience with an EdenOS election, listen to what Chris had to say in Everything EOS Governance News - Trial 'Satoshi' of Eden Farewell w/Chris Barnes, and then re-experience the second test election.
Instead of looking at groups as just moving through a process, this second test election has the power to end or extend the previous agenda of the Satoshi Barnes administration. This was a huge factor missing in the alpha test.
Dan on EdenOS
As Dan Larimer discussed (see video at the end of this article), it’s about the power generated when people come together in increasingly greater numbers. What EdenOS fractal governance allows for is that every participating voice is meaningful.
More Free Voices
Americans know they have the freedom to speak their minds. Once primarily the focus of influence at the local community level (e.g. at town halls), modern Americans often feel that their voices go largely unheard. This can be overwhelming, and even disheartening, within the relatively new Internet dynamic.
Corporations and marketing teams have invested a lot in trying to get their audiences to feel that their opinions matter. Rarely are such efforts more than cosmetic marketing.
Social media is riddled with overwhelming influence from whales and the platforms themselves (Facebook, Twitter, and similar administrative bodies). Individuals with good ideas may have once benefited from these platforms, but today, most look elsewhere.
EdenOS seeks to solve this and associated issues once and for all.
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS
Meaningful discourse is at the heart of every EdenOS voting round. The tech is built around this principle. It’s a solution for issues like the vote buying employed by some block producers.
Valued voices is something that few other blockchains appreciate. Nor is it something that the traditional democratic process can handle beyond tallying a number. Even if EdenOS participants were to be bought off, the IFPS-recorded videos would be telling.
Several issues occurred during the second election. Not everyone was able to join. Still others may hesitate due to a cumbersome process. Nevertheless, improvements were seen in areas of organization, decisiveness, and a general elevation of discourse geared toward action.
For more information, or just some motivation and fun, watch a recent video where Brandon Lovejoy asks Dan Larimer about the value of EdenOS:
In today's world it is hard to make your voice heard. The population is constantly growing and it is even getting harder to share your ideas in crowd. I know there are too many people out there who has bright opinions, and they can take these thoughts to next level, but most of them cannot be noticed. Therefore, their light is getting burn out.
I hope solution of EdenOS will give them hope and try to solve this problem.
Rather than saying 'Not sure if it will be possible.', I prefer to say 'It will be possible.'
And... If we believe, it will.
Ami Heines you will be our savior
There are a lot of people who buy and sell in the stock market without doing any research and analysis, the only thing they trust is the person they follow on Twitter, unfortunately, they mislead these people and use them. A solution is needed.
