Sounds very promising, thx for the update! 

There is a wallet, you can find it in the ANN and on the website. ESP is one in a row of different software forks of Bitcoin, which you can see in the copyright statement in your wallet:


(Note to dev: Fix the copyright statement)

Most coins today are not a "token" on a different chain, but run their own chain. Espers is such one as well.

These PoS rewards:

You are right. IIRC Cryptocoderz said that he wanted to change the PoS payout scheme in such a way that it is easier to receive stakes for small holders, i.e. so that you get stakes more often, but maybe in smaller portions. We're all looking forward to what solution he will come up with! 

1. No.

2. Hasn't been decided yet.

3. Hasn't been decided yet.

4. You can benefit from the increase in price, and you can receive PoS rewards.

Yes you got it right!   There are two ways I would summarize this:

1. Yobit should delist the old ESP and list the new ESP. Nova should change the base market name ESP2 to ESP.

2. The markets listed in the OP, on espers.io or here: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/espers/#markets are valid.

Haha wow I love it! Is my new desktop background now. Summoning the daemon.  

Very insightful answers indeed. Let my quote my favorite parts:



So, the goal could be summarized as having similar features as other contemporary high-tech coins, but implemented more securely and is more intuitive to use! That's also why there is an App coming and we have an auto-updater. It's not just a funny gimmick, it's an essential part of the plan! So it is easy to use for the masses in the end.

When it is ready.

Roughly 16 or 17 BTC I think.

There is no hard cap, it's 20M + 5% P.A.

I don't think there is any further whitepaper yet. What details are you interested about?

They are linked in the ANN.    Why does nobody read the ANN? 

Actually it is already in the ANN post, in big red letters.  




Actually this is an effrontery. The truth is, there was a chain upgrade and they missed it (although being notified of it a hundred times) and now they are fucked. How can they ask for an update for the old incompatible version, this is incredible.

YES ESP1 IS UNMAINTAINED NOW, that's why you have to delist it. 

Hehe.  Vielen Steuerberatern wird es wohl auch so gehen, wenn sie das erste mal von Cryptowährungen hören. Das Ding ist halt, dass es hier so viele verschiedene innovative, neue Arten gibt Einkünfte zu erzielen, die alle mit irgendeiner Metapher in die aktuelle Rechtsprechung übertragen werden müssen so gut es eben geht. Neue Konzepte bringen auch neue Begrifflichkeiten mit sich!

Ich hab aber leider auch keine Ahnung wovon er redet. Forging scheint wohl irgendeine Tätigkeit zu sein, die man bei Lisk als "Delegate" tun kann und dafür mit Coins belohnt wird.

Thanks for your feedback! I'd say the details can be agreed upon with mandica later, e.g. whether to include the "http" or not (I put it there because many "normal" people don't even know that .io is a valid domain ending!). This is a design contest, to find out what kind of sticker design is preferred by the community.

Editing a line of text is a matter of seconds, there can also be multiple slightly different versions of the sticker (e.g. even without the URL) or with slightly different wording. When certain versions of the stickers will be agreed on before the print, that's a different question then. Also localized versions in different languages may be possible!

Ok thanks guys, I'm sure some of you know much more about Asian markets and investors than I do. So what would be your strategy now to enter Asian markets? Wait to get on Bittrex first? What else? Wait for new features? So that would mean it's essentially too early trying to get into those markets.

Maybe the coin committed suicide. Maybe the dev will come back and the coin will come back to life and will be swapped to Zombie Tokens, who knows.   This coin was a pretty tasteless joke from the very beginning, so keep it up! 

Könnte vielleicht jemand nochmal etwas zu meiner Meinung sagen, dass Staking nur eine Erhöhung der Geldmenge ist und kein Gewinn? Also wenn jetzt die Landeswährung eines Landes 1:10 getauscht wird aus politischen Gründen, und man zur Bank geht und 1 Dinar in 10 Dinar umtauscht ... dann hat man ja keinen Gewinn gemacht. Der Gewinn entsteht dadurch, dass sich vielleicht die Preise nur 1:7 ändern anstatt 1:10. Gleiches gilt bei Staking: Die Coin-Menge erhöht sich, und der Coin-Wert verringert sich im gleichen Maße. Wenn trotzdem der Preis nicht fällt, dann ist das ein Gewinn durch Wertsteigerung, der aber nicht extra angegeben werden muss (außer halt bei der Endabrechnung wenn man verkauft). Das hat insbesondere keinen Einfluss auf meine Haltefrist.

Ich würde daher Staking nicht als Gewinn angeben. Ich gebe an, Zeitpunkt 1: 1000 Coins zu einem Wert von 100€, Zeitpunkt 2: 1050 Coins zu einem Wert von 200€, also 100€ Gewinn wenn ich verkaufe. Die (rein nominelle) Erhöhung der Zahl meiner Coins entsteht durch Inflation a.k.a. Staking.

Yeah, I was rather thinking of some anime stuff but you totally get the idea!    The task is to really get the theme and idea of Espers known in the context of other big currencies.



Your remark is a really good one! I have asked Cryptocoderz multiple times how he would summarize the ultimate goal of this coin, the "core idea" so to say or, how you put it, the beautiful part... he seems to have difficulties putting it right on the spot like that himself. The essential problem here is not only having an idea (which I am sure CC has), but also expressing it precisely.

"Features" is not what impresses investors, like a cool algorithm, masternodes, some chain magic ... but the core idea that links everything together so that everything makes sense! All of what is currently being worked on is laying the ground, but for what? That's the real question. If CCz does not want to reveal these things yet, or is still in the process of developing the idea, we'll sure have to wait with this promotion effort until things are ready, as Tekna says correctly.



My impression was that Chinese exchanges are more difficult to get on, but I may be wrong with that.

Ok here is the quote:


So generally, my plan consists of a few key points:

• Really try to explain where Espers is heading in the end, with all the "service on blockchain" things. Probably CryptoCoderz would need to help with expressing this in the way he intended it.
• Make comics about Espers "competing" with or against other big players in the cryptocurrency space to symbolize innovation.
• Establish one comic character that has the "Espers" eye, so Japanese people recognize the theme before they read more about it. Also just a few cool pictures of that anime character will be nice.
• Start social marketing campaigns only after it is already possible to buy Espers on a Japanese exchange, and after there are Japanese translations ready, so that people don't lose their initial excitement and the network effect can really kick in.

This plan is based on my own insights in mass psychology. The difficult thing will be to coordinate this because some didn't seem to get it and wanted to get certain points done before others, which would break the plan.
