I have been very excited about DPoS technology lately and have began witnessing on 4 DPoS blockchains (Steemit, DECENT, MUSE, PeerPlays). EOS testnet has been released, I have built the tools and I am producing blocks on the testnet. 

I did not have a hard time building with updated build tools, everything worked in a flash. I only ran into one problem. I had `eosd` running fine and producing blocks but `eosc` was giving me a segmentation fault, because I forgot  to add `plugin = eos::chain_api_plugin` to the config. Now I can query the blockchain for info:

I could not create my tester account at first because the `inita` account did not have any EOS . I had to transfer EOS from the main eos account to the account name `inita` so I could create the `tester` account. I ran the command `./eosc transfer eos inita 2` and this transferred 2 EOS to the account name `inita`.

Here is the testnet producing blocks beautifully (and quickly!)

I will continue to give more updates as things progress with EOS. Thanks.
