Nothing in common other than Franko was involved in that other project. Non anonymous devs have histories that can be checked, and whatever you feel about Frankos projects, he never abandoned them and stuck around for years. My view is that I trust him BECAUSE he didn't vanish, and that is partly why I was willing to partner with him. Finding Devs that stick around isn't easy here. This is a project that is much safer than most, as we will be here in the future and we have been sticking around for years in the open.

Great questions. Most of the reserve/premine is for the community to vote on and is not designed to go to the founders/team. There is 1 million exp for the team that we get for doing the work, that is set aside for the future, and we will start distribution of it once we have built up the project and value enough. This is a long term project and we designed it so we could fund it for the long run. Only a small amount will be released to team members at a time, and that is down the road once the project is ready for it. (It will be announced well in advance)

So right now for example, I only have what EXP I might be mining. Down the road the team will have some more, but we we would only use for funding carefully as we are experienced traders and want to support the market as much as possible.

The vast majority is for funding 3rd party devs and projects to build up the value. All of that will be transparent, and votes in that case will be based on blockchain snapshots, at least in terms of EXP based votes. Not sure if real time updates, but certainly everything would be fairly quick with all other results at that point.

The Whitepaper goes into a bit more detail. I have it uploaded here in case you are interested:

No, it is quite rare and the price is still technically low. We are a team and this isn't a tribute coin, but rather a project with a non anonymous experienced team. If you don't like it, fine, but if you trade cryptos and think that is a realistic assessment, I strongly disagree with your appraisal skills. Less than a million EXP out now. Smart contracts will start coming out and more news in the future.

I objectively think this is a great one to mine and keep an eye on, as I expect ETH will do well next year, as will Augur, and we are positioned very well with key exchanges as a great alt.

Thank you! I certainly think we can offer that, and ideally get more people involved.

Someone reported some issue with the website on the Expanse Forums, the white paper and such is also on Facebook if people are looking for that.

premine addresses are in the genesis.son file"

8 Bit Party, you are connecting things that have no connection. I made the coloring book for fun after some complained the White Paper was "boring and too long to read." That is not to prove anything, this was not made by Franko, and this was just to have some fun with the problem of explaining complicated things on a level everyone can understand.

The reserve addresses all contain the same amounts and that can be verified, but this is a work in progress and we are just starting on all the stuff in the Whitepaper. If you are legitimately concerned about the reserve, the facts we all know is that it has been secure for many months now, and at WAY HIGHER prices.

I actually agree with you that I want the proof of smart contacts also clear and easy for everyone to understand. This is essential to have a much higher marketcap. Trust must be proven with smart contracts and as easy to understand as the silly coloring book I made. In fact I told Franko in private that should be the #1 priority, we must prove to big and small holders that everything is safe, and that they don't have to rely on just reputation.

Franko and Dan should have what you are looking for ready in the future.

I have one real account, this one, but you guys have countless bullshit accounts FUDing us constantly. I have to admit Franko and I had to convince Dan to make this thread non moderated, but I am shocked how slimy our competitors are. Anyway, Mr Videodrome, why should anyone trust you? One satoshi? What math is that based on? You know there are less than a million coins out? The marketcap is basically nothing right now, thanks in part to people like you of course. It is only around 15k, if you think it is overpriced, you should get out of cryptocurrency, you are terrible at evaluating prices. We are also certainly the best positioned Ethereum alt and with a non anonymous team. We will be here long after the others are forgotten.

I am just checking in real quick. I made the Whitepaper coloring book for Expanse, so any praise or blame should go to me. Franko approved it though, so he should get some too, haha.

This coloring book was to give an amusing very short and easy to understand overview of Expanse. You should real the *real* Whitepaper for more details.

Slack and Facebook is where I am the most active, not here.

This was in response to someone that was interested in acquiring EXP from mining. What I was explaining is that they can either mine it directly, or mine something else and sell that and then buy EXP with it.

I personally hold EXP I mine as I think that might work out well in the future. Does that mean EXP will be some crazy high price? Not necessarily, working out well can be perhaps +20%, it can be +200% or more, that is unknown. There are never any guarantees for prices, and I never made any, but generally I think it is fairly safe mining EXP with a few cards as there isn't much risk that way.

It varies a bit, right now the main ETH pool I have used in the past is having some issue so I can't check the exact comparison. Mining the most profitable coins and then selling to BTC, or buying something like EXP with it is technically the best strategy. For hobbyist miners that don't have a lot of time switching around, like myself often times, it can also work out to just mine something with development like EXP and wait. There is little risk since most of us only have a few cards, and if it rises later then that can pay off well.

Hmm, maybe 30 a day? Depends how many are mining. I usually get about 125 or so a day with 4 280x cards. This varies of course, but I think this is a good time for hobbyist miners to gather coins and hold. Very little risk with just a card or two.

I made some responses there, but I think a simple report could suffice in the meantime. No reason we can't have a detailed report so people can feel safer about EXP. Nothing to hide here, so this would be a positive to report and share. (compares well to the other options)

There are no voting results yet as the DAO is still being built. The team has 10% of the reserve for development to be used over a year, 90% is for the DAO and is totally untouched. We talked about this quite a bit and it is in the OP, but I agree the distribution of every coin should be made clear to those not following closely. About 50k of it that was used, and we paid a bounty for the logo. Franko managed this and I did none of it myself, I have never even seen an EXP I didn't mine with my 4 GPUs, other than 1-2 sent as tests.

I agree 100% that everything like this needs to be totally transparent. We will even have Dapps about this in time, but what is certain is that only the smallest amount has been used, but yes, I think more than just having addresses would be great. I don't really think it is anyone's business what some 3rd party dev, or any dev, does with some bounty after they are paid, but it is everyone's business who is paid what and when.

This isn't just a situation where we are trying to give out money at random to whomever can code something. Look at the facts, we paid one bounty for the logo so far, that is it. Everything else the team has taken care of. Now, I do know some devs working on something unique for Expanse that could add a lot of value, and if they are successful with it, sure, they can get a bounty. It would be worth it though since it would add a lot of value to the platform. We are really looking for Killer Apps/Dapps, not just handing out money to create selling pressure, but rather real development that builds up the platform and value for everyone.

Didn't happen, definitely POW selling from miners and the initial run up making the price fairly high. We are fully aware of selling pressure and that is why we didn't create any. There was one bounty paid to a 3rd party for the logo, that is it. There is a fairly decent amount mined each day of course, and many miners will just sell, and this is seen in most all POW coins including Ethereum. We are however working on development to increase demand over time.

Debugging successful, mac wallet testing now. edit: testing successful, mac beta wallet is operational now.

+1000

Every time we see some troll FUDing, that doesn't weaken our resolve, it gives us more incentive to prove them wrong in every possible way.

"this coin will NEVER reach 20k satoshis again."

This is from the same person that said Expanse is Horizon 2.0, ok, let's imagine that were the case. After enough development Horizon reached a marketcap of 10x-25x higher than we have here now. So why in the world would we never reach 20k satoshis again? Hell, we hit up to 16.5k last night on Bittrex. This FUD is really weak and not based in reality.

Dan is working on the Mac wallet now and I am helping test and debug. Franko is working on the Whitepaper, and we are also assisting with that. (Getting much closer to a completed White Paper that will provide a great amount of detail)

That is a bunch of crap, we used about 50k and paid one bounty for the logo so far. This is all on the blockchain, and anyone that can think logically would realize is we were dishonest we would have sold tons when the price was much higher, not hold. How many devs use less than they said they would? Just about none, and we do care about having as little impact on the price as possible. We are not happy there was such a big run up on price as some can feel burned, nothing to do with us though, and we are working constantly on improving and building Expanse. We are also getting to a more realistic starting price now, but I suggest traders have patience and just watch the charts for a good buy in price, if they want to buy.
