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

[cyberhacker]

I see, the only reason EXP does not follow "BTC-LTC" model is the 11million of huge "premined" fund.

don't blame me but anyone think of burning the premine haunting over EXP?

PLS.  if not all of them but part of them?

indeed, from the early launching of this coin is always surprising, its volume and its community.
Good work dev. let's move on this. cloning is not all bad

I can see there is now an EXP deploy option on Azure.

Are there distributed apps for EXP yet?

Regarding the premine, I think it would show some confidence if the premine stash were locked up in a public contract, in the way it was suggested in the white paper.

100% agree, and that is already written and the contract for the community reserve will be included with the Homestead update. Time locked.

You would need to read the white paper and see the design for funding, we do need funding to bring in more people, and for the DAO to operate and for the project to last. (The team will be expanding soon) With the popularity I think there are other options however, like a percentage of mining instead if we go hybrid POS/POW. Obviously we are considering all possible options, as long as they would make Expanse better and even more likely to be highly successful.

Just throwing it out there, another idea too is to use the premine purely for staking purposes, not only to provide security but the coins that are staked are the ones that go back to fund development while the core remains untouched.

Yes, I agree, that is another possibility.

Anyone having issues with the mac wallet can compile one to use.

Code:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install gmp go git
git clone http://www.github.com/expanse-project/go-expanse.git

I have a buddy looking to get setup on the mac. Thanks doode 

[calkob]

i just sent up a wallet at exp.rocks, is there a wallet or a clientside website i can import the private key to, so that i can send my expanse?

[calkob]

what is the profitability of this compared to ethereum?

I just started mining it today, i think it works out around the same comapred to ether, as the diff is lower you get a few more per day

Expanse v1.3.4 (homestead)

Ethereum Protocol changes

• EIP-7: New EVM opcode DELEGATECALL
• EIP-2: Consensus rules changes
• The gas cost for creating contracts via a transaction is increased from 21000 to 53000; All transaction signatures whose s-value is greater than secp256k1n/2 are now considered invalid;
• OOG CREATE calls when there's insufficient gas for storing the code (as opposed to silently ignoring the code storage);
• Difficulty adjust algorithm has changed to block_diff = parent_diff + parent_diff // 512 * max(1 - (block_timestamp - parent_timestamp) // 10, -99) + int(2**((block.number // 100000) - 2))

Fixes / Other
Decreased minimum accepted gas price

- Fixed windows p2p discover bug
- Fixed transaction sorting
- Implement EIP-8 p2p protocol upgrade
- Fixed downloader OOM

Awesome. These are really some major improvements. Now that both EXP and ETH are in Homestead, things will really get kicking from now on. I will be carefully watching EXP for further updates.

SO could this coin get just as big as Ethereum ? or going to be like its sister like LTC is or was for BTC would like to see it but seen so many coins from OP that have faild in the past maybe this will be the jem we been looking for to be a competitor of Ethereum or and BTC

I think Expanse with be Ethereum's sister coin. Anyone interested in the ETH tech would want to expand their portfolio and see what else is out there. Ethereum is on track to do something really special. I became interested in Expanse, because it was based on Ethereum, but with a more community based approach.
