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

Why every new crypto run under linux first
most of miners used windows

just waiting for windows compiled

I believe they said this is just the testing phase not the actual release

Yes, this is just testing, and we will have windows testing as well in advance. Don't worry.

[wildduck]

When will you compile for windows testing?

[Jerry S]

i still dont get what the test means? is it to test the wallet?

[herbitcoins]

i still dont get what the test means? is it to test the wallet?

Yes, and also

to set-up an army of amazon AWS instances
to have the wallet perfectly synced and "peered" and switch from testnet to the real genesis block in a second after the launch, while you're still waiting the compiled win wallet with hard coded peers and auto-genesis block.
Maybe to ban some IP range during the first minutes too lol

Then it will take several hours for you to sync, you will se "I can't sync !!!! no peers !!!! I mined the wrong chain whyyyyyyy "  everywhere here ..at least during 150 pages.


Maybe you'll find a block at the end of the day ... then switch to this super new pool ... but mine nothing because ddos during 3 days !

finaly, after 3 days wihtout sleep and 24 EXP in your wallet , you'll buy on exchanges ...


of course i'm jocking, it's satirical, i'm a troll ... ^^

Testing went fine for Linux and Windows is coming soon. (This is just testing)

Windows needs at least as much testing as Linux if not more. If you cant compile windows you need to delay the launch.
 

Who cant compile the windows wallet?



Anyone can.. and there is even 2 guides.

How to cross compile
with Docker and xgo

Code:

go get github.com/karalabe/xgo
git clone https://www.github.com/karalabe/xgo.git
cd xgo
docker build -t karalabe/xgo-base ./docker/base
docker build -t karalabe/xgo-1.5.1 ./docker/go-1.5.1
xgo --go 1.5.1 --pkg=cmd/gexp --branch=develop --deps=https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.0.0a.tar.bz2 github.com/expanse-project/go-expanse

will you be running the shift GUI wallet ?

will you be running the shift GUI wallet ?

Dan is working on a beautiful gui wallet, not sure if it will be ready by launch time but Iknow it shouldnt be too far off.

Glad you are excited

I got it
start C:\wallet\gexp-windows-amd64.exe --rpc --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport 9659 console

cd C:\wallet
gexp-windows-amd64.exe account new


I did everything correctly?
what's next?
how to start mining on the CPU?

[OzDigger]

Start Etherminer........ point it at the gexp-windows............. ip and port.

I have 110m mining atm, gives errors Invalid header on a mined block so nothing added to the wallet etc.

if you want to check your balance ( after you have created a new account) use the following command line in the console.

web3.fromWei(exp.getBalance(exp.coinbase), "expanse")

Will wait for release as no benefit in mining atm.

have you mined any blocks yet?

Me GPU mining on windows to a linux daemon on my local network

More justifications for the 2.7 years of coin premine go here.

11 million, 60 million, hell take it all. It will have no value on any exchange either way. No value means no money for you and no ability to work on it fulltime. Take a far smaller premine, lock it up in contracts released once a month (you say you want a wage right, not an up front moneygrab) and buy orders will actually be placed on exchanges, and you will be able to work on it fulltime.

I consider this a rather insightfull comment.  This currency can actually self regulate its own premine (unlike previous bitcoin clones).  If the devs were to lock up the funds in the block chain and set a release mechanism at set points in time it would go a long long way to building trust.  Especially if the first pay out was set a month or two in the future.  Some aditional contracts could be set up for bounties etc.  

It is what we are doing. Its all in the OP

No you are granting yourself 10% at launch, the point made by the previous poster was you should delay that at least a while, until it is not such a large % of the total supply.  I appreciate the fact that as "gas" or crypto fuel this is not the same concept as a pure currency, but as the reality is it will have some monetary value which you could sell on an exchange. The point is if you want to build trust that should not be available immediate upon launch and at the time of the release should not be a large % of the total supply.  This action in conjunction with acontract controling the release is the act that builds trust.

My recomendation is propose somthing more like: at any point the relase is no more than 5% the total supply to yourselves, and the first drop does not happen for at least a few weeks.   If you want to control additional contracts with releases for bounties thats great too, but you have 10% at launch right now that could be dumped.  I see nothing contrary to this.

If you want to use the 10% as a "wage" thats totally legitimate, but then do it as an ICO and then let contracts implement a thawing out period to distrubute those funds to the ICO participants over a period of time as well.

We are exploring other ideas. One idea that has popped up in our slack chat was to take the 1.1m we are getting up front and locking up 1m in a founders dao and have it drip to us on a regularly basis that way the community funds are spent completely democratically and independently of the founders reserve. Which would leave 100k initially to pay bounties with.

I think this solution is a better one and I hope you go through with it. A stronger market for the Expanse token means a stronger Expanse network.

no. don't know how to start mining!
ethminer suitable for mining on the CPU?

It is what we are going to do.
