[ANN] Expanse (EXP) - 1st Stable fork of Ethereum (New Algo + PirlGuard)

[ocminer]

FYI

Today we added Expanse pool.

www.coinotron.com

That's so great, thank you.
Coinotron was actually my first pool I started mining FTC in early days 2013...good memories!

Mine too, but I started with LTC, and the pool op is actually a really cool guy

I would be great to see EXPANSE 'Dagger' Algo added to NiceHash..   

I wonder what the consensus among the mining community is for something like this?

I cant wait to see what the next batch of goodies the Dev team have plans for releasing next?

I'm sure you don't need me to say this but i'll say it anyway: good luck & great job!

That sounds like a good idea. Im surprised betarigs hasnt stepped up too.

+1 sounds good

Sure, we're very much interested in adding Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm. We have actually already spent quite some time on researching this matter. The issue is that Ethereum want their own way with mining protocol and they only included Getwork-like protocol for mining. There is no stratum support and therefore including Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm into our service is not trivial (that's also the reason why there aren't any renting service available whatsoever). Basically there are two options:

1. Either Ethereum includes stratum protocol into their stack: we have already been asking the community https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/3068/stratum-support-for-pooled-mining-support-decentralization#latest -> zero response; and we've also contacted StephanTual of Ethereum, he said he will check with devs, but there was no further response.

2. Someone writes Ethereum's Getwork-like -> Stratum mining protocol proxy. That would require some programming effort, but is doable. If this proxy would exist, then the system would work like this:

Code:

miner -> local (lightweight) stratum-proxy -> NiceHash -> any Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm pool

This would yield significant boost to any Dagger Ethereum-based coin since NiceHash is by far the most widely used system for renting and buying hashing power. Think about our proposals and let us know if you can find someone for the Dagger stratum-proxy job ... we're even willing to partially finance the development.

I posted a quick introduction to the Ethereum Community.

Franko as everyone seems to believe in has no clue on what he is doing. I hope you know that 60 second block times make the smart contracts useless since you need to wait 1 minute for the contract to execute and get the results in the next block. Good luck running an exchange like etherex or any other dapps which demands resonable response times. This is a bit LOL and proves that they did not know what they were doing haha

[xtrembash]

is there some problem with transaction & poloniex at the moment ?!
i sent 26 exp to polo and still no pending...

works fine for me

after 2 hours finally in pending ...
it was so long ...

Your such a FUDster. If you have an issue; either be a positive solution to it or leave the posting. Really, there's enough FUD in the crypto world, that has to change eventually for cryptos to gain traction and be thought of in a positive light again.

Looking at all your postings with a 10 day old account, they are all FUD and all towards EXP, no other coin that you have yet to comment on and that makes it very suspicious.

If a 15 second blocktime is fine then 1 minute is fine. 1 minute block time increases the security of the network. For real time things 15 seconds is way too long. Even 1 millisecond would be way too long. Real time things where 1 person can claim they are first will never happen. People will have to develop new ways of trading. It will be a more fair way of trading where there is no winner but instead multiple winners.

Plus you're stupid because block time can change if it is ever wanted.

These block times are just for PoW, that can be change in an update.

I would certainly love to own a physical Expanse someday. I'm a huge fan. If there's such a physical coin, please let me know. I'm a physical crypto coin collector

Well, cryptos are officially now a commodity.

lol, they can call it flying bananas
but we all know
any cryptocoin is superior to fiat as currency by lightyears

Yea that would be awesome! There is a guy on twitter that makes crypto poker chips they are pretty cool.

Contact this guy http://www.cryptomemorabilia.com/ he makes physical coins

[fonzerrellie]

gotta love when someone makes an account just to troll one coin 

great start so far guys

Exactly. I was just wondering if he could make an Expanse crypto chip. That would be cool. I'll try to contact him about this.

Great! Thanks for sharing this! I'm going to check this out. This is so cool

Ditto, that is something I would like to buy as well. I have a silver Vericoin and 3 copper Dodgecoin's when they were first released. I know they don't have a great amount of value, but physical things are nice to have.

I also have 3 Blackcoin USB cards that were created a while back. Never used them, but just like the look of them.
