So.... I apparently missed the boat. How can I convert 17million ESP coins to ESP2? Left the wallet on a server that I literally haven't checked in a year. Did I miss out? Advice anyone?

Sorry you are wayyy too late. The swap is over, your old ESP balances are not valid any more. Sorry bud!  

Well that's lame. I guess the definition of "investment" isn't the same for me as it is for others. Last time I'll help these developers by jumping on their coin. If I had mined gold and the standard changed to platinum I'd still be able to convert it to something worthwhile. That's the whole point of investing into something. So basically I'd assume the devs just kept the milliions of ESP2 that didnt get converted? Great job guys.

I understand that you're angry, but think of this rather as "participation" than an investment. Espers is an experimental blockchain project, and as such, is not the ideal investment property unless you are keeping yourself up2date.

Regarding the unswapped coins, yes they decided to keep it instead of burning, which is a questionable decision in fact, from a political point of view. But as I noted before, this project is not about politics, it's about technology. The unswapped funds are reserved for future promotions, not to be expended by devs themselves.

btw how can anyone check info about those reserved coins, are they still on wallet or they already dumping esp2 market sharing wallet used as storage will be enough

Just talked with CC about it, it has been posted once on this thread, but he'll make a new post and put the addresses into the OP.

Quick update before fielding everyone's questions and concerns as all of them are important to us.

>>>Espers client download link updated<<<
OP updated as well


We apologize for the inconvenience of the previous link going bad due to high bandwidth usage, we are moving away from using mega shortly and will be bringing the auto updater back online for Windows along with offering the downloads directly through our website to avoid these kinds of hiccups in the future

On a side note we are investigating the stuck at block 5 issue some have experienced when syncing from 0. None of this should be cause for alarm as it is either lack of listed nodes (which there are plenty of and will be rebuilding the client with them added in shortly) or possibly a checkpointed block conflict. Has happened before when one of us is tired and gubers up the checkpoint hash.

Anyway we'll keep you posted throughout the day on progress and field as many support questions possible, please stand by

Also the old chain was swapped from half a year ago, if you somehow purchased the old coins from someone your qualms are with them and not us. We publicly announced addresses of the now dubbed community fund after swapping, addresses were made public at that time alonng with total amount unswapped. At that point the client with the unswapped coins was powered off and only turned on periodically to fund some of the current promotions or sent to Nova as a part of their refund from the hack they had when they first started as they are upstanding and returned any coins claimed lost. This again is old news and buried hundreds of pages back so I can understand the question surfacing

At this point your claim of unfair actions by not having them swap continue from its original two month long period which should have been more than enough time to swap is void, anyone can claim they have the old chain, even possibly running a private copy as we've taken all the nodes offline for it and demand a swap which as you can see is just another way to attempt to scam the devs lol. We've already announced numerous times that yobit refuses to update their version which is not under our control

Hi everyone!

So nice to see how work proceeds! I have the same problem someone has stressed, my wallet doesn't sync, I cancelled conf and peers as well, then i added nodes BelgianBoy has suggested, but nothing works! Let me know if someone is able to get over this problem!

Someone downgraded tot 8.5.4 to sync and after he Will do the new update.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately even adding the nodes the wallet get stuck after 5 blocks, so weird, I'll keep trying!

CryptoCoderz said: "Wallet v0.8.6.0 is a mandatory update in otherwords you MUST update your client to this version. By doing so you will ensure smooth operation of your copy of the chain as well as numerous fixes that have been rolled up in this accumulative update."

Yep, that's what I've done, and after seeing the wallet got stuck I tried everything that the people here suggested! No problem, I'll keep trying something else!

same problem as you.
stuck at 649999 blocks
if I delete all and start from scratch, stuck at 5 blocks

I'm reading and testing... and waiting... and praying...

ye, no wonder this coin can never get traction :/  
This community, i swear, you can put icing on a chunk of shit and people just eat it up ;p
guess we will wait a few more months for next update....
not gonna lie, getting a bit tired of the same old broken crap here, o well, thats ESP baby! (at this point) ;p
/sigh, check back innna few more weeks for me i guess...

Bothered looking at the BE?
Have you bothered to notice the chain actually running perfectly fine? Have you considered that we are humans with our own lives to handle besides devving and do our best to provide updates as quickly as possible?
Have you noticed the new retarget system is completely new? That takes time to build and test...
Have you noticed that nothing is broken or were the two big articles just completely missed and ignored just to throw more fud at?

I encourage anyone to please find a project more worth your time, or make an effort to assist instead of complaining about things that are 90% of the time non issues.

If what we do isn't good enough for you, go find some ICO to dump your money in! Who's holding you back? Everyone loves ICOs despite losing money on them all the time and this project is done nothing but do its best for its users without any ICO.

We've never buckled, always provides fixes and solutions, not good enough for you guys? Seriously GO! Dump your coins and leave. I'll probably be the one buying them and gladly take them off your hands as I nor the rest of the team is going to stop working on this project. Just means more coins for the people who care.

THIS WILL SAVE YOU FROM SYNCING, AND FIX ALL POSSIBLE ERRORS YOU ARE HAVING WHILE SYNCING!!
WITH BOOTSTRAP YOU HAVE TO VALIDATE EVERY BLOCK, WICH TAKES LONGER, THIS IS THE FASTEST WAY TO GET YOUR WALLET UP TO DATE
http://213.136.75.129/esp.rar
Download that, open the rar, and move the "ESP" folder as it is to your /appdata/roaming folder, and move in your wallet.dat (if you have one) and edit the RPC password and user.
I'll try to update the rar package daily, but you will only have to sync for max few days.
Enjoy!

Dude, come up with a new Mac OS version already, please!

Hey guys, silly me realized the reason GPU mining won't work for me is because i'm running nvidia and Im only seeing support for AMD gpus here which brings me to my next question, i'm synched up and trying to get at least some coins, I know rejects are going to be an issue until that golden block value in a few days but as of right now is it possible for an i7 to strike lucky and hit a valid block or am I wasting electricity at the moment?

You should wait.... And by the way: mining with Nvidia is posible and I can confirm you can get more than 2MHs depending on your card. https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases/tag/2.0-rc2
But for now just get ready

You can and will get blocks done with CPU, but no guarantees on the time it takes.

More than 2 Mh/s? I get over 10 Mh/s with only 2 cards. :-D

Thank you!!!!!!
That was the only thing that worked!

No chance to get it working when you did not have a synced blockchain. Mine was like 3-4 weeks behind and no way in hell to get it going.
Now it syncs, Thanks again!

It looks like we all are just waiting for 667k block

Dude, come up with a new Mac OS version already, please!

It's on it's way....the last 2 versions had issues with mac and some parameters were not being set within the client.  That seems to be fixed now.  Crypotocoderz will release the MacOS version soon, but I believe he is going to push a fix to the syncing past block 5 on a fresh install problem first.  Once that is released, a new MacOS client will be built and released alongside or shortly after the Windows one.
