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

[peterepeat]

I may have thought up an actual use case for Expanse.
It could be marketed to Ethereum DApp developers as a sort
of "live" testnet.

Ethereum has a testnet on its own, but it seems
to me that a traded coin with a real userbase can provide much
better simulation of the eventual deployment.

Interesting.
Actually wondering if ETH-EXP could be linked to allow for "expanded", second tier, low cost capacity for ETH dApps to run on, that may not require the faster confirmation time and higher security.
This could get interesting once the high cost of ETH, or demand based dApp contention ever becomes an issue.

not much dumping going on, considering that the price was pumped some time ago, but in any case
dev, do you appear to consider a merged mining with some other coin in the future?

We are considering a variety of possibilities. I think the idea of going hybrid POW/POS is interesting, as ETH will no longer be able to be mined, and we could get massive extra hash power that way. Better for long term distribution and we can still easily control inflation.

POS only is likely the leading option, then POW/POS Hybrid, then something else that is a new type of hybrid is another option (if everyone agreed).

As for merge mining, a lot of the hyped alt coin merge mining algos are pretty bad, but if there was a secure option that could be interesting.

POW / POS hybrid sounds interesting

Just wondering, will Expanse be able to integrate with dogecoin in the same way Ethereum is/is trying to?

I think Dogecoin is trying to get into Ethereum rather than the other way around, but there is no reason we could not do the same later. (Assuming open source code for whatever Doge is using)

Yes, they are welcome to build/test dApps all they like on EXP live. (The lower EXP price means they are much less expensive to actually run) -- The main use case as I see it is the community having the freedom to modify the project as we wish over time, and experiment with different paths/choices. Different block times, counts, rewards, funding design, difficulty settings, and so on. We are not locked in to the exact same choices that ETH makes.

Yes, the EXP price I thought also would be the main attraction
along with a live environment. As for those consensus variables that you
mention, it is generally not a good idea to change them without very
solid reasons.

Now that ETH went to 0.035 and FCT to 0.008 it´s time for exp. We have real low market cap, only 581,000 USD. We can easily go 20x or 30x in the next 3 months. If you want to make money, if you want to ride the crazy train then buy Exp, now it´s the time.

I cannot agree more

How many EXP can we still mine whit a radeon 9r 280x?

what exactly is the difference between Ethereum and Expanse? 

[Djentriser]

What do you guys think is the main reason that EXP is so undervalued? By all laws of crypto known to me, it should already be much higher, what am I missing?

Patience.

Is it true Expanse is going Homestead in about two weeks?

At block 200,000, right? We are currently on block 185,308.

Same here. Can you explain?

I don't even know myself what it is. All I know is that Homestead was apparently a huge deal for Ethereum.. I think it has something to do with coming out of beta.

If I may be brutally honest, EXP is at its present form just a clone
with very little modification and a premine doled out to 4 accounts.
Cloning ETH is way simpler than cloning Bitcoin. You just search and replace
the name in the code and a new genesis block can be written in text
editor: you don't even have to mine anything.

Litecoin, PPC, NVC and NMC are just Bitcoin clones... But look at those marketcaps, NVC is a scamcoin all premined by a group of people and buyed all by BTC-E and it have 2x the Exp marketcap. NMC it´s a dead coin and look at that market cap, 12 times EXP... Also the same with PPC another dead coin and 20 times the EXP marketcap.

I'm glad you see a high value in EXP. I do as well. Others also will see the project and its value and invest. You are just a lil early to the party. Enjoy it and buy some cheap EXP

It is just a marketing name, a new version von Ethereum core.
