why there is no trade on livecoin ?
the only marketplace to  CoinExchange ?

What happened?

There were MULTIPLE exchanges that ESP was traded on, and now CoinMarketCap is only showing 1 exchange for Espers: CoinExchange.io

What is going on? Is ESP getting removed from these exchanges?

Espers used to be on many more exchanges, like Livecoin and TradeSatoshi, but now is only listed on 1 exchange.

What's the point of the Espers Team doing so much work, if they are removing it from all of the exchanges?

Can someone please ask the ESP Team why they have removed ESP from all of the exchanges except 1? Do they want no one to buy ESP anymore, or are they just shutting down?

What a waste of time and effort, I thought ESP was going to be a great project, now it is only listed on 1 exchange.

Please list it on the other exchanges like it was before!!!!!!

Coinmarketcap has a new policy of removing exchanges from the list that have a low volume. You can still trade ESP on all those exchanges you named. You can find the official list of exchanges here: https://espers.io/buy-espers.php

Hope that helps! 

According to livecoin's twitter account: https://twitter.com/livecoin_net, they have had a problem with the website, and it looks like almost every coin in the livecoin is frozen for both deposit and withdrawal.

ESP is disabled on livecoins API, can someone shed some light as to why?

They've only said:

Support (assistant):
Hello.
This asset is temporarily unavailable via API. Unfortunately there is no exact time yet when it will be available.

So, by accessing Livecoin I was able to at least visualize that the withdrawal and the deposit are operating, but I did not get to test.

livecoin as well as coinexchange.io, novaexchange, satoshitrade deposits & withdrawals of Espers are ok

Maybe if the team/community focuses on the staking aspect they might convince people to stake this coin and that could significantly raise volume.   25% is a good staking percentage.  Anyone know how many it takes to stake two or three times a week?  I'm writing a book on staking wallets and would like to know for that kind of advertising of Espers.

For this Communities Information - ESP is going to be listed free of charge on https://emblemvault.com/ 's DEX, due to be released very soon.

25% is really really good. But it might also be a problem when there is not much volume on its exchanges. A low demand and a high supply would surely affect its price in the open market.

That's why advertising, like getting mentioned in a book will help.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I believe there is a different difficulty with each coin.  So if you have x million Espers, it might stake X amount of times a week.  

5 million Espers, it might stake ? amount of times a week.  

1 million Espers, it might stake ? amount of times a week.  

This is a crucial utility aspect of the coin, same thing with the mining rush for Bitcoin and other coins, and yet a lot of devs of staking coins don't make it clear, nor the team able to answer the question.

I have written a short guide that contains some example calculations (for general POS) here: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/tutorials/wiki/Proof-of-Stake

Regardless of the actual amount that you have, you might (theoretically) stake between zero and [the amount of blocks in that timespan] times a week. It's probabilistic. On average though, you will always stake according to your fair share in the network. So if you have 0.1% of the network weight, you will stake every 1000th block. Espers block time is 5 minutes, but only 50% of the blocks are POS, so the effective target is 10 minutes. One week is 7 days * 24 hours * 6 POS blocks per hour = 1008. So with 0.1% of the network weight you will stake roughly once a week on average. Sometimes multiple times a week, sometimes with a break of multiple weeks.

The last time I checked the network weight it was at maybe 6 billion so 0.1% of that would be 6 million. Hope that helps.

I JUST got a headache reading that ...

Thanks a million (or 0.7%) @Gandalf86

any info if the new wallet release is mandatory or optional?

Hello "Esperians"

<...>

The v0.8.7.4 Update-1 Patch-2 GitHub Release

[Gandalf86]

any info if the new wallet release is mandatory or optional?

Releases are always optional, unless they are mandatory.    So in this case it is optional.

Yes, thanks.  I always appreciate your posts and merited you for it.

Hello Everyone,

To follow up on last week's promise the new Espers update v0.8.7.5 Update-0 Patch-0 has been rolled out for release and can be found here:

https://github.com/CryptoCoderz/Espers/releases/tag/v0.8.7.5-u0-p0


The update contains a significant GUI upgrade and peer handling updates along with automated wallet data file backups (keeps your coins extra safe). If you'd like to see a complete change log simply visit the above link to view one.

Next the team will now be testing the x-node framework which will hit the Espers codebase in upcoming updates. Stay tuned and once more thank you all for being a part of this :smiley: It couldn't happen without all of you.

(NOTE: Two known issues currently exist which do not affect functionality, security or reliability of the new release. First is that in the "coincontrol" view the wallet/client will not display available coins. Second is that the "change passphrase" tab is disabled. Both of these hiccups are being taken care of and to be resolved in an upcoming release very soon. If you are concerned about this or require the advanced coincontrol or changepassphrase options please bear in mind this is an optional update and you do not have to upgrade to it.)

X-Nodes are not to be mistaken with Masternodes, which is a centralized system where users lock a specific balance in order to participate in additional network features and support them, later rewarding the participant with some of the generated coins from the next block if they qualify. Instead, X-Nodes are completely opt-in meaning that any community member may participate in the system regardless of their current balance or previous experience. This ensures that the decentralization aspect of the Espers project and blockchains in general is not lost once again strengthening the overall network. The way an X-Node functions is by having a participant register themselves on the network as an additional data processor allowing them to store additional sidechains that are used to provide additional chain features. Similarly to a Masternode, an X-Node requires a persistent internet connection and penalizes any participant that consistently disconnects to avoid inconsistent connections or any possible hang-ups in service provided to end users. The longer that a user participates in the system the higher their chance become of being part of the compensated X-Nodes which are automatically voted on by the network depending on reliability and data processed. A participating user may then also lock any desired amount of their balance which will effectively become frozen as the participant will no longer be able to stake them until they are unlocked from the X-Node and in doing so have the balance act as a multiplier to the compensation rate provided. Of course the multiplier is on a curve and implements several anti-abuse system such as requiring a cool down period for recently locked coins. Until the cool down is complete a participant will not see a multiplier effect. The smaller the amount locked the longer the user must wait for the lock to cool down at an exponential rate. Larger balances require users to wait less time to cool down while having the multiplier on an exponential curve. This negates the usefulness of significantly larger balances ensuring that users are encouraged to lock larger amounts to be rewarded sooner while penalizing possible “dust” locking to such a degree that it becomes impractical.

A locked balance will still be able to find the next block in the chain however any coins created are diverted (after lock cool down) to a participant’s selected feature vote. Voting on the network in this manner is crucial to establishing rapid feature development by the project team and raises community support. Participants may also choose simply not to vote however the multiplier aspect again is penalized as this creates a drop in support for new network features. Any participant may submit a requested feature to be voted on by the network for future development, however when the voting round ends any feature voting that was not selected is pooled together and split into two section that are then used independently. The first half is split into sections that are then trickled back into the network as fees paid allowing miners and stakers alike to receive a slight “bonus” until the balance runs out while the second half is put towards the winning voted upon features. Users may unlock their balance at any time while participating in the X-Node system even if the balance has not completed the cool down period giving users complete control over their experience. Similarly, if a participant opts-out at any given time, just like when they had opted in, the participant will incur another cool down now between deactivation and allowed reactivation time. Furthermore the X-Node system is intuitive and single-click removing possible user-error that often occurs with similar features such as Masternodes and replacing it with user interest/immersion. This also takes a considerable load away from support needs, network inconsistencies, and the overall hassle of operating or participating in the system

Updated and now all my staked coins are gone. Only 1.00 ESP left in the wallet!? Block explorer shows the original stake amount is still there. How do I resolve this?

Hey guys. Espers is delisted at Livecoin? I can only see CoinExchange as the remaining exchange as per Coinmarketcap.com. Thanks.

CMC has obsolete. Espers listed in 5 exchanges https://espers.io/#exchanges

You need to login to Livecoin to see trading pairs

coinmarketcap calculating what they willing to calculate thus their marketcap is totally wrong. they removed tons of pairs with low trade volumes few month ago. imo it's due to ico's that failed but if coinmarketcap employees can't figure Espers nature I guess they may be hired deaf blind operators so it's ok. (livecoin api not working?)


Espers even can be traded on a decentralized exchange bisq.network (BTC pair),as well on coinexchange (BTC) livecoin (BTC ETH) tradesatoshi (BTC USDT LTC DOGE) novaexchange (BTC MOON) cryptohub (BTC)

 Dev is active, working hard to bring us new releases , buy/stake/HODL !
