If there are ASICs for the algorithm then GPU mining can't really compete. If algorithms are ASIC resistant or are still early enough to not have ASICs developed for them yet they are better suited for GPU mining. 

What's the max supply of the new blockchain?

Is the new blockchain a pivx clone or quark clone?

Is there a slack/discord link?

Thanks

Did the helium creators work on this project? Are they listed as contributors on the spreadcoin github? Thanks guys.

8/3/17 Q & A with Cryptocoderz on Espers Discord https://discord.gg/hhYP8yT
-------------
Q: Is a high priority what was the latest development and what is the next development coderz is working on?
A: Same as always, just following the project roadmap, the larger functions are still being finished while things like the PoS rework has been undergoing testing  and things like PoW/PoS block shuffling has already been fixed and is waiting to be toggled (since it will be bundled with the other updates) that covers immediate tasks.
Q: The roadmap on ESPERS.IO where the graphic looks like a DNA strand and WWW is highlighted? That does not actually say where in the roadmap we are in the development cycle.
I know better than to ask a timeline but your goals are heafty ( mobile wallets, secure messaging system, masternodes (intuitive node launching and monitoring), smooth sync patch, shrinking blockchain, light clients ) How close are we to any of these milestones and how many programmers are on these milestones.
A: There aren't many lol two are working on core code that's why also at times you see slower progress.
Mobile wallet is finished in all seriousness, have been just working with other team members on testing it live and setting up servers for it.
Q: IOS or android?
A: Android currently.
Q: How long has the mobile wallet been in the works?
A: Just going on a month now.
Q: What would you say is the most difficult and complex of the goals?
A: Cross chain communication and site on chain development. Masternodes we've done with INSN along with a basic secured messaging system. Just taking a different approach for the code in Espers.
Q:  So its fair to take a educated guess that other goals will also take 1-3 mo each?
A: Not too sure to which goals you're referring to specifically as each one has its own level of difficulty.
Q: Are there even a billion coins in circulation yet?
A: Yes there are just a little over 20b now. There was a big airdrop when the project was launched.
Q:  With such a large coin supply isn't even 25mm a small amt to start a master node since ppl hold billions. wont that centralize MN in the hands of a few and make rewards small.
A: Not many hold billions mind you.
Q: Can you explain staking as far as espers is concerned. To me it seems broken meaning ppl have millions of coins and wallet says staking but no rewards or rewards after a very long time.
Q: Thank You for your time. after my staking comment I just received one after 3 days 24*7.
A: It's not as often as it should be but it does indeed work, it was a reference implementation and obviously needed a rework to handle more users, we've been testing the update for the past two weeks now.
Q: Do you see espers technology speaking competing with the likes of nem or other similar coins in the future say 2-3 years down the line?
A: I see Espers being the replacement for server hosting and other data storage/deliver venues in that sort of time frame, which is the goal anyway.
Q: What is the next project after the wallet?
A: The wallet or client is what lets the user interface with the project, so after it gets this update there are many more to come lol I don't think it will ever stop
Q: How does espers having coins mean anything in relation to being a replacement to servers?
A: Well we've previously discussed site one chain and other things that are planned for the project. When we did so it was stated that sites are stored on the chain, not on servers so... anyway.
Q: Does having esper coins allow you to use the sites on chain?  is that how esper coins get their value?
A: Coins will be used as "fuel" in a sense yes, for instance hosting a website through the chain would require one to pay ESP to do so. It designed so that way the system stays running on its own, fees paid for services goes back to reward stakers and miners.
Q: The currect logo of the spaceship looking evil eye is good but the new logo is mature and will appeal to the masses. will the logo be changed?
A: Well whywetrance has a new one he's been working on. I think everyone will like it more.
Q: Have investors approached you or any members of the team with serious inquiries?
A: No deals with investors have been made or offered.
Q: Would you be against investors being a part of espers?
A:  It leaves me personally with mixed feelings honestly.
Q: Will the encrypted messaging burn esp as fuel aswell?
A: Within reason, it will be along the lines of character length and if there are attachments, in otherwords the more load on the chain it goes from being free to using ESP.
Q: Will everything in the espers ecosystem be anonymous?
A: Anonymity is a fairly mislabeled term, will your information be encrypted and will you need the private key to view what was sent to someone? Sure, will someone be able to see that pubkey such-and-such sent a message to pubkey so-and-so, also yes.

You guys have a discord? Thanks.

7/26/17 Q & A on Espers Discord https://discord.gg/hhYP8yT

-------------
Q: It's still 25 mil for master node?
A: That's the current number. There's been a lot of discussion about it but I don't think there's really been any one number to come forward yet as a preferred amount.
Q: -You would send the whitepaper (not final to us) why do you not sent it? -What about the whitepaper? -Why there is this such a problem, cause the team grows much (heard on telegram) - Promised a lot to be on bitcointalk and not be there, why? -news about PoS?
A: So the team is larger than it was but there are still other projects that required attention this week. Espers progress was made as well just nothing was pushed live. As for the whitepaper, I know everyone's been waiting and there's really not "excuse" to provide, however as an explanation I was tasked with writing the whitepaper, I've written a couple before for other things and truth be told, things have just been coming with either other projects or personally so work was slow. Hence you're really not seeing much. New PoS was running on a closed net for testing and seems to be doing well so we plan to push that relatively soon after a few more minor tweaks to it. Since this doesn't follow any of the reference calculations or methods. Just been busy as far as bitcointalk, really no other explanation, don't exactly enjoy saying that. But it's just the way it is at this particular moment, once the update is pushed there'll be announcements and such on bitcointalk, as there always have been.
Q: When will we see something tangible for ESP?
A: This year is is the year tasked with the major features. Had a lul this summer a bit but it doesn't affect the overall timetable.
Q: What about sites on chain? This year?
A: Late this year is the plan.
Q: Before whitepaper or later?
A: Whitepaper will come out well before the site on chain bit
Q: And the PoS thing? When will this be fixed?
A: PoS will be getting pushed this week. You already saw the framework for it pushed.  We'll get github notifications set up for Discord. That way everyone will be notified when the project is updated.
Q: When is not really a concern. But with projects like insn are the devs and the rest of the team really devoted to pushing ESP to its full potential?
A:  Of course we are. The fun thing is in the future we'll all be working together in a sense. It's not a division it's a unification.
Q: Heard about trex?
A: Not yet, haven't gotten to trex. Figured updates were a bit more important.
Q: Crosschain? For what is this good, if i may to ask?
A: Yes. That is what I was referring to. Bringing communities together. It's actually a rather good idea. Takes a bit of strain off of each chain as well. Well wouldn't it be nice if communities could hang out on their own blockchains and interact with others as well? Would be pretty neat imo.
Q: Yes, but why? :smiley:  Don't want to be rude.
A: Through encrypted means instead of open ones.
Q: I have heard somethings here now. But it does not change anything for us now. Right?
A: Well PoS is changing along with block type shuffling. If you're referring to the already mentioned later this year crosschain and site on chain stuff then, later this year. :smile:
Q: Are you working on a new secret project? Hush hush
A: No Espers will be upgraded indefinitely, we will not be switching projects.
Q: Do you expect a dump to 3sat`: )
A: I have no clue about market statistics, I'm not a market analyst, I'm a developer. Sorry :/
Q: bur nothing delivered.
A: nothing delivered? Have you been looking at github?
Q: 15 day ago, or do you mean the snipps?
A:  True, we've been running tests on the next planned push for the last couple weeks.
Q: Like to send us for reading the whitepaper? sorry, dude. You lose more and more trust. please!
A: Fairly sure we're all aware of that. Not shying away from the situation. However when things in my life come up they come up. If you'd like I can provide a detailed excerpt of what has been going on for exactly the last 15 days. The rest of the team get's a lot of work done. From website updates, and setting up the systems for things like mobile wallet and such. However they too have lives, many have full time jobs. I'm one of the few who can devote a large amount of time. Well typically can. Just been a weird summer. Doesn't mean things aren't releasing soon or that progress isn't being made despite it looking "bleak".
Q: Appreciate the hard work and looking forward to the upcoming months. Thank you
A: Thank you for being a part of it, seriously it's the community that makes the project really work. I know everyone's been waiting but it's not in vain.
Q: Awesome idea. when do you anticipate this "unification" to begin? later this year is what we were just saying.
A: Later this year is what we were just saying.
Q: All things considered you're doing well. I'm happy with the results so far and invested in this project knowing it would take some time. Thanks for taking time out of your day to communicate with us.
A: Thank you.

7/19/17 Q & A on Espers Discord https://discord.gg/hhYP8yT

1. Wallet POS Update
2. Masternodes & Whitepaper
3. Additional Questions

-------------
1. Wallet POS Update -
Q: The update regarding the "fix" for stacking and mining?
A:The update we need to roll out not is the one for PoS and then toggle the fork. Yes, It corrects all the quirks with the current setup.
Q: What is in update "part2"?
A: Well if you read up a little you'll see that I was saying the previous update placed the new systems for the mining correction so PoW runs correctly and now we're rolling out the PoS modification to make PoS run right. Just a bit staggered.
Q: Sorry if this is already answered didn't read all of it but is PoS fixed or is it as the way it should now? Thanks for answering i am just stacking as much as i can spreading hard in the Netherlands got 8 people with a nice investment already.
A: The update for that is coming soon, It's done, just need to push it out to github and release the new builds for the wallets. Fixed the PoW last week. No worries, yeah what's happening right now is that there are so many people staking that is a bit messy as to who gets a stake. with the update it will be more like everyone gets a turn and the chain makes sure of that.
Q: Haven't staked any coins in weeks.
A: Thats what the upcoming updating is fixing.

2. Masternodes & Whitepaper -
Q: What about masternodes, since the people are somehow hyping coins with masternodes?
A: They are under development, it hasn't been mentioned for a couple get togethers now but they are planned for a late this year.
Q: What is the required amount for the masternode?
A: The community voted upon amount was 25 mill each MN, however many want that changed so it's not a final number.
Q: When will we know a final number?
A: Well we were kind of waiting for the community to pick something but all sorts of numbers still fly around as requests so it's still something to be decided on.

3. Additional Questions -
Q: Is mining still possible on ESP?
A: Yes.
Q: How long? What happens when you switch to POS?
A: You can stake and PoW mine simultaneously. It's a infinitely Hybrid system, PoW and PoS run side by side forever.
Q: Like DASH?
A: Dash doesn't have PoS.
Q: Can someone answer me what the difference is between the full windows wallet and the windows wallet?
A: The difference is one features the auto-updater while the other does not. Also the full wallet will update to include the built in mining later on all on its own.
Q: Can't wait for the follow up updates. How is Yobit doing, they gonna delete this finally?
A: Still haven't heard back from them sadly.
Q: Any news regarding getting listed on a new exchange beside alcurex?
A: Not yet bud, we'll be going to see if Bittrex still wants to talk sometime this week and will let you know what happens.
Q: I just stumbled on 4 million ESP1 that I mined last year (Sitting in my wallet).. Do I get any ESP2 with this balance? Swap?
A:  There was a swap almost a year ago, there were many many many announcements on this and even promotions to raise awareness, sorry but we do not exchange ESP1, it is a dead chain that was decommissioned completely almost six months ago.
Q: Sucks to hear this!!! :frowning: Are there any future plans to compensate for ESP1 holders (Before the hardfork)?
A: (whywetrance) Can't as yobit still trades esp1. Anyone could buy off yobit and try to swap. If it wasn't for yobit then it might be possible. (CryptoCoderz) Agreed.  If you still have an old wallet and the old wallet.dat file and you can load and screenshot prove that you have the last block available for the decommissioned chain with a current date stamp and showing the wallet's date stamps I MIGHT be able to work something out for you. NOT PROMISES, but I don't want you to things we're out to screw you, we're not, but you must understand we have to be careful.
Q: So I send you the screenshot and unencrypted wallet.dat?? OR screenshots only?
A: Only screenshots. do NOT send me your wallet.dat. do NOT EVER send your wallet.dat to ANYONE. NEVER EVER EVER  :smile:
Q: Is this a full time project for you guys?
A: Yes. Well for me at least.
Q: Status solved means bittrex will add esp2? is it possible to ask them they will add esp2 or no when status is solved?
A: (whywetrance) Have already submitted the request, and bittrex has been known to take weeks to add a coin. There's no way to know Bittrex's decision at this point in time.
Q: BTW am I tripping or did I read somewhere that Espers is going to do something with 3d printing?
A: You're not tripping. We're going to be buying a few 3D printers soon. We're just researching what to get.

7/12/17 Q & A
-------------
1. POS & Github Push
2. Whitepaper & Exchanges
3. Masternode/Nodes & PoR
4. Mining
5. Additional Questions & Android Wallet
-------------
1. POS & Github Push:
Q: We could say that you're actually working as your primary issue to solve things related to PoS/PoW rewards?
A: Correct, just committed an update to GitHub this morning in regards to the PoW/PoS block mix, including a patch to VRX and a newly written difficulty skew curve for it. Next is the PoS rewards, making the staking a bit more robust so that it can handle the network load so that everyone can receive stakes like they should.
Q: You dropping the update tonight?
A: Later tonight there should be another github push with the PoS modification which will resolve the final issues we're having with that. Then will roll out the new client.
Q: What's the status on the android wallet & is it possible to mine with the phone then?
A: During the initial beta it won't stake but the normal release will, reason being just setting up the system is time consuming and we don't want to shortcut it.
Q: I just got online, did I miss any announcements today?
A: There's a new github push that was rolled out early this morning, a few more planned then the new client will be publicly announced on the ANN thread and such.
Q: Actually, for staking, how much espers would 500k stake make per day/week?
A: Currently not much per week, maybe a couple times. But with the current update coming of which github is receiving commits for it will make it more frequent than that.
Q: You're saying 'currently', will it improve/be fixed? Will it require a client update?
A: Yes. If you're running the full client with auto updates you'll just be prompted as soon as the new one is released.
Q: Is it normal for the wallet to take a big amount of cpu usage for staking? I have a g3900.
A: It really shouldn't, but depending on system specs and what inputs are selected for staking it may utilize more on some occasions and then less on others.
Typically I'm seeing 1-15% CPU utilization (idle-staking) with an old Core 2 Quad CPU.  (Staking on a) Celeron isn't exactly the best CPU in the world. But I don't have enough info to make a verdict as to whether it's the machine or the wallet.
Q: We need a PoSi .. I posted the idea in main esp, Proof of Staking interrupter. cut the whales staking to cycle on a 12 hour basis, based on weigh of overall holders staking, maybe grouped by weight.
A: In a way that's what this does, but enforced network wide.
-------------
2. Whitepaper & Exchanges
Q: What is the status of the whitepaper?
A: It's still in progress, I'm sure that's not what you want to hear but regrettably things came up and the white paper is still being worked on. We were more focused on the new PoS weight calculations and the PoW/PoS hybrid generation being consistently even instead of 90% PoS and 10% PoW.
Q: Is there an ETA for the whitepaper?
A: Will just say in the coming days/soon, don't have a date for you because as what happened with the previously promised dates, we missed them and even though the updates are rolling out now they're late and we don't want to do that again.
Q: Any update regarding the whitepaper?
A: Yup, we talked about it earlier, still writing it, updates too priority over the documentation.
Q: Any news about exchanges?
A: (Trance) Bittrex has marked the Coin Request support ticket as 'solved' and I've not received any info, but it takes time to add things and they likely don't tell anyone their coin is being added, don't never tell anyone unless it's officially announced it keeps insider trading down.
-------------
3. Masternode & PoR & Nodes:
Q: Regarding to MasterNodes, what would make a MN more responsive to any other? I mean, MN would handle network work, so a good one should have a good cpu or what?
A: For the MN it's a matter of network connection really, it shouldn't load down you computer much at all but it will be talking with the network a lot.
Q: PoS -> Holder | PoW -> GPU's (I use) | PoR ->
A: Your PoR question is that PoR will be put in when the MNs come in to pay any full nodes (normal nodes that are fully open) and MNs
Q: By now I got my wallet open for weeks and on espstats site it looks like a normal node. I don't know what I should do to appear as a full one.
A:  If you have incoming connections you're considered a full node. Usually connections are leechers. But if you're "seeding" then you're a full node as you're providing network stability by supplying other clients with the block chain and interacting with them.
Q: Is there any available manual to do that? I would like to help. I got a lot of free bandwidth.  There only 16 full nodes by now, it would help to have that if it isn't by now open to the newcomers.
A: There are manuals for other projects but we've not created material outlining the procedure yet, if you know how to port forward in your router just forward the port for Espers in your router from incoming connections to your computer's IP. If you need more help with it we can chat later about it. Normally there's more work, but Espers generates your config file automatically. It's a step you don't need to do.
Q: So MN's, any eta on a decision?
A: As per older discussions MNs are still a later in the year early next.
Q: Why not create dual masternode, like the ones whale hosted for dash long ago, allow multiple people to own one MN.
A: That's more of a service provider feature, for instance "TheCryptoChat" host a block explorer and such and also are working on MN pools. So you'd have to go with a service but yeah that would be possible.
Q: I been doing some testing but I still appear as a Node. Can someone help me out with Port Forwarding to appear as a full node?
 A: If you have incoming connections then you are one. It won't actually state your status, no wallet ever has before for that sort of thing though that seems like a good idea lol.
-------------
4. Mining:
Q: What would be in case the update gets released the maximum amount of ESP mined a day? Do you have any calculation on that?
A: I have no way to calculate the mining rewards sorry. We'll have to see what it is after the chain runs on the updates. We're currently running tests on a local testnet.
Q: Sorry If I'm trying to be a bit precise regarding with mining questions, since I would like to know, because I'm actually mining, but since ESP is a little broken I sell other coins and buy this. Just trying to figure out what I would do on patch release.
A: Right now there are around what 2 blocks every 4 hours? Should be more like 2-3 PoW blocks per hour as a very rough estimate, But logically that's where I would peg it at.
Q: Another thing related to hash, is, looking at minertopia we can see sometimes like network having a total PoW of 2.2GH/s, is that even true? Does espstats belong officially to the team? Is that okay?
A: All stats are reported by any wallet/client
As far as how a site has integrated their hashrate readout I have no clue if the hashrate readout on minertopia is on the dot or not, you could check the block explorers or your local wallet to find out more.
-------------
5. Additional Questions & Android Wallet:
Q: What is the projected price increase by the end of this year? In satoshis of course
A: No clue the dev team and I are working on it and the price does what it does
Q: What's the status on the android wallet & is it possible to mine with the phone then?
A: During the initial beta it won't stake but the normal release will, reason being just setting up the system is time consuming and we don't want to shortcut it.
Q: How is the Android wallet coming? Is an iOS one in the works?
A: Android wallet is coming along, just working with another team member on it. They were setting up a server for go live the other day, just taking time.
Q; How is it actually implemented though? Obviously you're not running a full node on your phone. I'm just curious.
A: In this case you're correct it's not a full node on your phone. It's an android app that will interact with the block chain and network. it'll act just like a normal wallet and connect to seednodes.
Q: Is Espers your #1 priority or side project?
A: It is our #1 priority.

Here is the an update from the Espers Q&A with Cryptocoderz on 7/5/17 from the official Espers Discord https://discordapp.com/invite/hhYP8yT

7/5/17 Q & A
-------------
1. Masternodes
2. POS & Patch
3. Exchanges
4. Sites on Chain
5. Whitepaper Update & General Questions:
-------------
1. Masternodes:
Q: Masternodes would be managed by individuals who would stake their tokens ?
A: No masternodes are managed people who want to participate in contributing hardware like mining to the network for running one or multiple sidechains that do the heavy lifing, the system wouldn't balloon out of control either with proper chain management so it's almost like a different way of mining since of course masternodes get a little more on whatever they stake but have to lock a certain amount of coin to participate, well that's the old method anyway we're going to be changing that just have to see how it can be logically be done stabily.
Q: Masternodes newbie here, i read somewhere that esp masternodes are unique, yes?  if so, can you explain why esp is unique?
A: They'll be in charge of one or more (operator selectable) sidechains that provide the function for some of the upcoming features that everyone's excited about.
Same concept as servers are with the internet. Hope that made a little sense.
Q: Will there be rewards for selecting the under supported features or would the code just dictate which feature the chain needs the most processing power at any given moment?
A: You can select what side chains you want to run, they'll be labeled, and yeah you'll get more rewards for the more you assist with operating
Q: 25 mil to run a masternode, right?
A: That was the last voted on number
Though many want to change it
-------------
2. POS & Patch:
Q: So where are we at with pos?
A: As far as PoS goes we're running some more tests on anything as this is a rather large change to the PoS method everything has to be made sure that it's stable. Otherwise we've corrected the issue with the PoW/PoS ratio of generation of blocks and added in the new skew curve for both PoW and PoS, no more possible stalls even with insane hash changes and it will keep the blocks well shuffled
Q: Why is the stake weight fixed?
A: well there's nothing wrong with the stake wieght to begin with. it's just that the way the reference system is done causes issues with high load. which we're now all seeing.
So there's simple ways to correct the issue but it could cause unforseen problems so we've just been running local net test runs of it to make sure things will continue work as they should after the PoS implementation is modified. It's a fairly significant alteration to its function
There's going to be a small fork in the next week or two (toggle date will be set with the new wallet release later tonight) but it will be a good while out for everyone to have time update to it. This will patch VRX and turn the skew curve on
Next will be the PoS update
With the new update we re-arranged some of the source and also have redone the way that network, syncing and staking information is displayed as well. With the source re-arrangements we've also added toggled debug log prints for those who want to get techy
Q: the high load issues for staking, is that why people do not see stakes for weeks at a time?
A: Yes
There are a lot of people on the network and with the way currently the network handles stakes and weight isn't suitable for the load
There's already a solution
:smiley:
Q: And this solution is scalable with network growth right?
A: Well yes, we described it in the last get together :smiley: where wieght is reset after staking
Q: But if there's a large amount of people staking, then taking into consideration the number of blocks, is it possible that the larger stakers re-mature before the smaller stakers get any?
A: No as it's all done by time and there's a 2 hour time out period, could make it more but that's the standard period already in place and it should do fine. Adjustments can be made to finalize anything as well if it comes down to it but it's a fine line, you don't want to have the wait too long otherwise if net usage is low it could cause the chain to run sluggish but as long as there's few connections it'll be fine.
Working correctly this will make those with smaller amounts that have been staking forever (as the weight just compounds almost infinitely) will stake before larger wallets regain any weight
Also reseting the weight will be nice to keep overall weight down and the PoS thread lighter
-------------
3. Exchanges:
Q: Any news from more exchanges? bittrex and others?
A: Haven't spoken with bittrex, we submitted the new form though
So just need to go talk with them again and see
As soon as we talk with them we'll be back to let everyone know what they said
That's if they decide to give us the time of day
But they've at least talked to us before
-------------
4. Sites on Chain:
Q: Sites on chain is the gem of espers right now, I see a decentralized network of merchants coming from it. Being able to put forth product in an anonymous way is very appealing to many long term bitcoin users.
I believe if you start laying down the principles of site on chain with espers and show progression, you will have the resources made available to you to run the network that you envision.
This is were I see most users interested in espers ATM
A: Correct and that's why the demo of it and the documentation is important. Just had to correct a few current issues first :smiley:
Everyone hates the PoW/PoS ratio
And hates the stake wait, not weight
Lol
Getting blocks to mix properly is a good idea
Beyond being the way things should be
Q: If I saw a product with a picture and a price with a button that says buy now on the espers desktop wallet that would be amazing
On the site on chain section
Simple but profound
A: Well all you'd have to do is load an e-commerce site or what not
Once you store the data on the chain you're done, you can store the whole thing on it
Then just have the client render it
Q: Would it be quick or a 5 min dl
Without masternodes it would be slow with a Heavy network right?
A: Should be honeslty be very quick, as you're talking about a p2p network which usually can push some decent bandwidth when needed and besides this will all be raw code that's rendered by the wallet
Yeah without doing masternode operated side-chains it would be difficult to manage
Doing it this way would make the system responsive
And easy to handle
Also it would be nearly impossible to bog it down
And even if one system slowed down it would be localized to that one system
Because each task would be handled by a different chain
Modular
Any kind of slow down in any area could be easily addressed
-------------
5. Whitepaper Update & General Questions:
Q: What's the ETA on the Whitepaper? I was under the impression it was going to be completed by this week.
A: Yes it is, Holidays came up so things got pushed back a couple days
Sadly I also was dragged into things lol
Q: What's your biggest hurdle that you have encountered right now? It's a loaded question I know
A: Really it's currently a few people out there in crypto that don't like what we're doing for whatever reason, constant flak, fud and false accusations. But it's to be expected at the same time
Q: Espers is written in c++ is that going to change in the future?
