Yesterday I was honored to attend the EOS Austin Meetup to meet and speak with EOS community members in person. My goal going into the event was to learn more about EOS hodlers’ views and concerns, as well as answer any questions they might have for me as the Community Manager of Cypherglass.

Many of the questions I answered were things like:

How do I unstake my EOS?

Where can I vote?

How do I help people avoid scams?

How do I stay up to date with official EOS information?

The members of EOS Austin shared their concerns over many topics, and as we talked through many of them I began to understand my role as a Block Producer community manager much more. As Block Producers who spend our days up close and personal with the EOS network we are jaded from the EOS community members point of view.

I decided to sit down with Nicole for a short interview to gain a better perspective, and learn more about the needs of the EOS community.

How did you hear about crypto/eos?

“ I first heard about crypto In 2015 when I started to accept payments on my Shopify site for bitcoin, but was unable to make this happen because the technology wasn’t at the point of accepting payments like it is now. I heard about EOS with news of the ICO.”

What is your favorite part of leading and being a part of the EOS Austin Meetup?

“It’s satisfying to see people come together for a purpose that makes a difference in their lives and the lives of others. It also shows how much people are willing to take time out of their day to increase their knowledge and learn something completely new. The adoption of blockchain in Austin is amazing and I’m very honored to be a part of it. Leading the EOS Austin Meetup has been an exceptional experience thus far, and I’m looking forward to continuing its growth.”

Which projects and dapps are you most anticipating?

“I’m looking forward to the Block.one EOS wallet and voting app. This would enable the average user to understand the concept and be able to participate. Right now, there’s too much of a barrier to entry for the average person who doesn’t understand the technology.”

4. What does the EOS community need to continue growing?

“It needs more community organization. A monthly Blockchain Producer Town Hall sponsored by an independent blockchain producer, for the community to voice opinions and concerns on the record. There needs to be people on the ground, paid, to do this work and to share the information freely from the independent block producers. This would create a bridge between the technology and the end user that is easily understandable and highly adoptable, within a matter of moments as opposed to weeks”

Thank you very much to the EOS Austin Meetup Group for welcoming me into the fold, and providing me with a new perspective!
