Topics covered:

  • Vote Buying, Inflation rates and BP costs
  • PoW or dPoS?
  • Dilution, Manipulation and Quality BPs
  • EOS is simple
  • Metrics needed to account BPs
  • EOS value goes back to token holders

__According to Brendan, voting rebates is a good way to make Block Producers compete and to return value to the token holders. In any case, BPs can be removed from the same token holders. __
