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

I like the idea because I'm a developer. Devs need money, miners need money. Why not go 50/50 split?

It's fine that devs need money. However, at this moment premine is >90%.

I actually have no idea how much the premine is. I doubt it's 90%.

That seems a bit excessive. Especially if Ethereum clones go PoS with minimal new coin generation in less than a year from today. Using this distribution method, this coin may end up being DApp heavy. DAPp are probably the most important thing. More important than miners, especially once it goes PoS.


I have no idea which distribution method is the best so I'm going to support this coin. I will mine it, buy it and hopefully develop a DApp for it.

[8-bit-Party]

We talk about different things.
Premine is one thing.
PoS is second thing.
Dapps are yet another thing.

So if i mine this it will auto switch genesis when launch?

How the heck did you come up with this?!
They said earlier another genesis block will need to be imported.

how is this done?

Don't take what I say for granted, but after release they will provide new genesis.
You import it with:

Code:

gexp.exe --genesis genesis.json

(genesis.json being the genesis file)

Personally I will completely delete %userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Expanse folder
(it is usually c:\users\YOURUSERPROFILE\Appdata\Roaming\Expanse)
regardless if they put it in the instructions or not - that will require creating a new EXP address.
Actually I think a new required anyway (I highly doubt if you can use a testnet address in the main network)

Nice maths! Except you conviently left out the entire DAO that house those figures.

11m is the initial reserve
----------------------
10m goes into a ternary community DAO contract (where no central authority can spend them)
1m goes into a multisig founder/developer DAO that is slowly released over time
100k is awarded to developers up front for their initial contributions.

100k of 10m == 0.9090909090909091%

I look forward to your next post.

Do not create a war between SHF and EXP

It will just make both look bad.


Promote these first two coins as the best Ethereum clones.


The most likely scenario is both go up, or both go down. It's highly unlikely that 1 will do substantially better based on people putting down the other coins. Do not make this a competition. Anyone who has cloned ethereum already clearly has skills.


I would like to see the scenario where everyone is positive and both ethereum clones becomes really big.

Do we start ethminer.exe while step 3 is running?

yes

I don't see it mining, I type miner.start() and it said "true"?

The console output is redirected to exp.log (see bat-file). Besides you can check the hashrate (miner.hashrate). For all this you don't need the ethminer.
If you want to mine with ethminer, stop cpu mining (miner.stop()).
Call (for GPU-Mining):
ethminer -G -F http://127.0.0.1:9656

thank you for being helpful

I think the rpcport is 9659

Again, PROOF please how you gonna guarantee it. Don't tell me devs are well known, because I don't say they are scammers.



Also you shares in community will base on funds held
Basically devs will hold most of supply for many months
So no matter how you call it, devs will control 90% supply for many months

Great job with creating this Democracy contract.

My body is ready !!

First of all, seems like you don't understand that I am programmer.
Second, this contract proofs nothing.
Third, devs will control most of supply for many months therefore whole premine will be under their control.

Basically TECHNICALLY IT'S NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS MOMENT TO ACHIEVE GUARANTED COMMUNITY RESERVE YOU CLAIM TO CREATE.

[altcoinex]

does CPU mining make sense with EXP?

If you only own a CPU then it of course makes sense.

OCminer released the MPOS open source Ethereum mining pool code. Where are all the pools? Remember back in the day when there was like 10 pools before launch set up... and then remember when half of them were scams and stole your coins. LOL

He posted it on the last page:

https://exp.suprnova.cc

AMAZING! Is there a windows 10 64-bit miner available for dagger-hashimoto algorithm yet?

64bit ethminer runs on windows 10. The one provided here for exp

First of all, seems like you don't understand that I am a programmer.
Second, if this contract doesnt prove anything to you then you are just begging the question and no proof will satisfy you.
Third, the contract that holds the dev funds cant vote. O_O, so you are only partially correct.. For 11 days lol we will have the majority vote with our initial release of funds.

If you feel like I *cant* have enough proof for you then now is a good time for you to move on to something else. Since you are a programmer, start your own fork that embodies your desires.
