Dear Dan, we have our favorite BPs but we’ll pass on listing them. Respectfully, EOS Costa Rica

I think you're missing the point. One of the most important issues addressed by posting a list is to weed out the bad BPs that may seek to act to the detriment of the network. A simple list will help your average voter have a 'how to vote' card. Most people aren't going to do a lot of research on who to vote for.

Thanks Tim for your comment. We agree that weeding out bad BPs is an important initiative but we don't believe that lists are helping this effort. There are plenty of lists published by prominent BPs and that has not led to much in terms of assuring the top 21 are in compliance with the BP agreement. Furthermore, since many BPs have not disclosed their ownership we believe there is still not enough public information available. There are some great third party rating initiatives and voting proxies that we believe are better suited to recommend BPs than candidates that may or may not be conflicted.

I’m interested in third party rating initiatives and voting proxies. Can you list any? Personally I’d like to vote based on the points that you listed above, don’t need to know the name of the bp just how they score.

Hi Greerso, thanks for the comment. One example of a third party producing content is EOSWire.org, https://www.eoswire.org/bpcompliance. They created a list based on BP Compliance. We hope other 3rd party initiatives pop up with time.

You can also see a list of all the Voter Proxies and who they voted for here put together by the Aloha EOS team. https://www.alohaeos.com/vote/proxy

We will say this is all very new and dynamic so please verify yourself before voting.
