Not a good sign. Though, since EOS is an open source project, leaving Block.one doesn\'t necessarily mean they will stop development work on EOS.\
\
\"Four early employees and two contractors have resigned from the Hong Kong cryptocurrency company Block.one to start up StrongBlock, a new blockchain project that is currently under wraps.\
\
David Moss, Thomas Cox, Brian Abramson and Corey J. Lederer, the employees, were the second, third, fourth and fifth to be hired by Block.one, the corporate parent that created the decentralized operating system and application environment EOS.\
\
The computing protocol EOS, which competes with the technology behind the bitcoin and ethereum blockchains, supplies a native cryptocurrency of the same name and has a market capitalization valued at more than \$5 billion today.\
\
At Block.one, the four employees took on overwhelmingly technical roles. Moss had been the senior vice president of technology operations, Cox the vice president of product, Abramson the vice president of infrastructure and Lederer the senior director of technology products. \"
