Hello Iconists! Welcome to Blockmove’s Medium blog!

Blockmove is a P-Rep candidate from beautiful Brno, the university capital of the Czech Republic and one of the top student cities in the world!

Focused on ICON, Blockmove is not your ‘another-do-all masternode services provider’.

Committed to re-invest 100% of rewards back into the ICON ecosystem, Blockmove is going to operate as a non-profit, offering maximum transparency and peace of mind to all our voters.

We are very excited about ICON. In fact, we were the 8th team to register on-chain for the ICON P-Rep election. So let’s recap some of our achievements.

P-Rep Reward Calculator

Here at Blockmove, we are very keen on transparency and openness. And this P-Rep Reward Calculator is our very first transparency tool.

P-Reps will be getting quite a bit of money for their services. Money that is supposed to help the ecosystem and create value, not line pockets. This simple tool crunches the data and allows Iconists to gain insight into how much each P-Rep will be rewarded. This is very important to keep in mind when voting, but also later, when judging a P-Rep’s work.

P-Rep Low Productivity Notifier

If the productivity of a Main P-Rep (Top 22) drops below 85%, Iconists who have voted for this P-Rep can suffer a 6% coin burn penalty on the ICX they have voted with them.

Blockmove has developed a tool for this, the Low Productivity Notifier. Now every Iconist can sign up by adding their email and ICX address; the notifier checks productivity of every Main P-Rep once a minute and notifies all affected when productivity drops to 95, 90 and 85% levels. This way, Iconists can re-vote before the penalty affects them.

TestNet Participation

Blockmove has successfully participated in all three TestNets. TestNet participation tends to be wildly underestimated, but is crucial preceding decentralization. Participating P-Reps demonstrate their dedication to ICON while receiving no monetary incentive for doing so. Moreover, the TestNets allow P-Reps to test their node management skills and various setups before deploying a last minute configuration on MainNet.

Citizen node

Α Citizen node is a MainNet node which stores and transmits a synchronized copy of the blockchain and verifies new blocks — essentially the type of node a sub P-Rep will run after decentralization occurs.

Even though running a citizen node is not a requirement for P-Rep candidates, it demonstrates capability of running a node. Every active citizen node is accompanied by a green ‘P-Rep’ indicator on the tracker website.

ICON Europe

We are the third member to join ICON Europe, an initiative aiming to strengthen cooperation and knowledge/ resource sharing among European P-Reps. This should result in better projects, faster results, sturdier infrastructure, wider audience and all-in-all being more efficient than going it alone.

Quiz

Blockmove created a short quiz aimed at basic knowledge about ICON and staking with prizes of 500 ICX in total.

During two weeks, this quiz collected more than 450 responses from Iconists. 20 lucky winners were randomly picked today and prizes were sent out from Blockmove’s P-Rep address.
