This month alone Coinbase suffered issues with EOS thrice, the exchange is still investigating the problem. Meanwhile, No blockchain is cartel resistant, but EOS’s the best, commented Block.One CEO on Binance’s research “Decentralisation, governance and EOS – a lost case?”

EOS continues to experience “degraded performance levels” on Coinbase, reported cryptocurrency exchange on Feb. 22. As a result, the exchange has temporarily suspended sending EOS while receiving EOS on the platform will be delayed.

The EOS network is currently experiencing degraded performance levels. EOS sends have been temporarily disabled and receives may be delayed. Buys and sells of EOS within Coinbase are functioning normally. We’ll keep you posted as service returns to normal. https://t.co/p91KykCnsE

Buys and sells of EOS on Coinbase, meanwhile are “functioning normally.”

It has been the third time this month that EOS had an issue on the exchange. On Feb. 14, Coinbase first announced delayed EOS withdrawal requests but the incident was soon resolved and the exchange stated, “We are actively monitoring this issue.”

The two days after the incident, there was yet again delays encountered in EOS send/receives which has been resolved the same day again. Coinbase wrote at that time,

“We are currently working through a backlog of outgoing EOS transactions. Customers sending EOS from Coinbase to an external address may experience a delay before the transaction appears on the blockchain. Deposits, buys, and sells are unaffected by this incident.”

The most recent one has been on Feb. 19, when the San Francisco-based degraded performance with send and receives to be delayed. The exchange implemented a fix and is currently investigating the issue.

However, out of all the cryptocurrencies, EOS still got the sign of “Major Outage” beside it on the Coinbase website.

Amidst this, Binance released a research report on “Decentralisation, governance and EOS – a lost case?”

In its report, Binance shares how the eight largest cryptocurrency by market cap of $3.88 billion, which was also the largest ICO recorded with USD 4.1 billion raised in a year-long ICO that ended in July 2017, has been labeled as “a victim of its governance,” where largest holders have “all the power.”

Taking a look at its governance, the report assesses that it lacks mechanisms to avoid or structure the process of vote trading. The incentive structure actually promotes selfish acts and individual parties have the influence to drastically change votes, states the report. It also found that two-thirds of the block producers (BPs) have the worst performance among the 21 BPs.

Blender Blumer, the CEO of Block.One, the company behind EOS countered this with, “All blockchains are voting machines where votes can be bought, whether by hardware + electricity or token ownership, therefore none are cartel resistant and all have control groups that can change anything. EOS simply better aligns interests between holders and operators.”

#EOS is built on the most advanced technology, the most aligned framework, and the most robust governance. I believe #2020 will highlight this.

Moreover, its problems are aggravated by a number of other issues like changed block rewards, low voter turnouts, little transparency, 1-token-30 votes system, and little resistance to Sybil attacks.

“No blockchain is cartel resistant, but EOS is aligned,” is what Blumer had to say about this.

You’re correct. Our cartel is continuously elected by token holders and can be changed at anytime, as opposed to being bought in ways that favor scale and government subsidised electricity, while simultaneously destroying the environment without increasing performance
