Official Block Producer Name: Worbli-BP
Location of Company Headquarters:

Note: We are a diverse global team spanning the globe with team members in North America, Asia, Australia and Europe
Official Corporate Information:

251 Little Falls Drive
Wilmington, DE 19808
EIN: 82-4256402
Technical Plan and Specifications:
Prior to and immediately after the mainnet launch the Worbli block producer infrastructure will be hosted in and across multiple public clouds. In the absence of official guidance or empirical evidence we will need experiment with various hardware and network configurations to provide as performant and reliable a node as we possibly can. The areas we are actively working include:
- Load balancing (where possible - eg. HTTP APIs).
- Local failover from primary producer node to backup node.
- Remote failover from a primary producer to a backup node in a remote datacenter.
- Optimizing node synchronization.
We feel that a cloud deployment provides us with a degree of flexibility and responsiveness that will be required to maintain network stability and at the same time tune the network for optimal performance.
We are aware that this is an obvious approach and as a result the network runs the risk of unintentional centralization (vendor, geographic, jurisdictional). Our infrastructure is and will be highly portable allowing us to quickly migrate block production to alternate providers easily and quickly.
Our current plan is to use the AWS Ohio region and our primary location. Each location will run a producer node and at least one full node to serve HTTP request
and act as a warm standby in case of failure of the primary node.
At launch we will be running a mirror of the primary setup within a second cloud provider (to be determined).
Upon network stabilization we will migrate our primary producer to a physical data center based in the US. We are flexible as to the exact location and if chosen as a producer will work with the community to to determine an ideal location for a permanent physical presence. We expect to be running our primary node in a physical location by Q1 2019.
Note: We are deploying our own independent EOS blockchain to host our Financial Services Platform(FSP) and network dApps. We expect to be the first integrated FSP capable of handling fiat and digital currency deposits and transactions while offering the full suite of traditional banking services. For more information please check us out at https://worbli.io
We expect to consume a fraction of our deployed network resources to operate our Financial Services Platform. Therefore we wanted to offer our state of the art and secure Block Producer resources to the EOS main chain. Our hardware and cloud server deployment will meet or exceed existing financial compliance laws for financial transactions and data storage. We will be deploying additional block producers to support our independent chain as the network’s needs require over time.
The WORBLI Block Producer will strive to set the standard for data security, uptime, processing power and network bandwidth.

One more good project :)
its realy good
As a supporter of the Worbli project, I am quite happy to see this news about launching a bid to become a top EOS block producer. This is fantastic! Once operational, Worbli's financial service should provide a new, more convenient way for people to be onboarded to the crypto world and all the opportunity it represents. Anything that furthers the goal of mainstream adoption is a step in the right direction, and choosing the EOS platform for implementation ensures prime positioning for the future!
Thanks cryptomancer. We appreciate your support from the beginning. We have so many more things to share in the coming weeks!

Excuse me for advertising. It is necessary to earn. I'll try to stop soon. :)
From what I have read, and I have been following this project, it has a lot of potential! I'm hoping for good things! :)
Thank you kenny! You've been a great supporter from the beginning and we hope to have you involved in a big way as we get this project launched!
nice post and informative
Good luck I guess. You may need a lot of it going up against steem. ;) lol Congrats on being #1 in the steemit promoted section right now. There's no view count in the promoted section?
I don't see anything we are doing as "going up against steem". Steemit is and always will be a pioneering social media platform that will hopefully change the way we interact with social media forever. We hope to do the same to financial services.
Against Steem? I think you totally miss the point. And it will be EOS based BTW.
Isn't it a crypto? Do we need other cryptos besides steem, sbd and Bitcoin?
It's a Decentralized Bank and more.
Does it do fiat currencies? Thanks for the big upvotes. I'd upvote your comments but there is a .02 sbd earnings threshold so I upvoted a couple of your blog posts and I also followed you.
Thank you. Yes fiat currencies too.
Do you take Visa and/or Mastercard from USA clients? It is NOT easy to buy crypto in the USA.
good job
