EOS Truthseekers Vote Proxy

<p dir="auto"><br /> 7/7/2018<span>by <a href="/@controllinghand">@controllinghand <p dir="auto">For those of you that have been following me you will know that I have been involved in the EOS BP Compliance data/research group. There have been a lot of talk about the top 21 BPs and how they got there. In order to make a change we all need to come together and vote. So I have setup an account called "truthseekers" that I will used to vote for the BPs have helped the EOS BP Compliance team and those BPs that have developed tools to help better the community. <p dir="auto">If you are very busy and don't have the time to do the research on which are the best BPs to vote for then setting up a proxy is critical for the success of EOS. If we don't vote for the best BPs then the EOS project will eventually be owned by a handful of people and centralized in one or two countries. <p dir="auto">If the above holds true for you? then let me walk you through how to setup a proxy. <h1>Step 1 Download the greymass wallet <p dir="auto"><span>visit this site and download <a href="https://github.com/greymass/eos-voter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://github.com/greymass/eos-voter <h1>Step 2 Install the wallet <p dir="auto">if you are on Mac just drag the voter tool in to the application folder<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPEpS6Uq2Uz9awgNz2z467Ryyw4qifRuJnB8cnqD3JG2h/image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPEpS6Uq2Uz9awgNz2z467Ryyw4qifRuJnB8cnqD3JG2h/image.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPEpS6Uq2Uz9awgNz2z467Ryyw4qifRuJnB8cnqD3JG2h/image.png 2x" /> <h1>Step 3 Launch the wallet <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ9bTjjcdMqXiaPERs66PpcC49YZ5mNkLm1t8oD1xBvho/image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ9bTjjcdMqXiaPERs66PpcC49YZ5mNkLm1t8oD1xBvho/image.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ9bTjjcdMqXiaPERs66PpcC49YZ5mNkLm1t8oD1xBvho/image.png 2x" /> <h1>Step 4 setup the wallet <ul> <li>Stage #1: You need to type in the server to connect.
