What steps does EOS plan to take in order to become decentralized? I know that, for example, IOTA is preparing to remove the Coordinator. I don't know what is required of EOS.
Instead of processing TXs over the distributed tangle, all TXs currently go through a central Coordinator for processing. IOTA won't be decentralized until this Coordinator is removed.
Personally, I got interested in the project after hearing many consecutive partnerships with reputable companies such as Bosche. I imagine many others got invovled this way.
