Payoutts done.

Thanks

Was just about to let you know






@Everyone

Well so far here are today's testnet conclusions:

1. MIDAS retargetting needs more tuning (currently parked itself on a higher than normal diff and halted the chain (last block 3 hours ago)
2. Working on some backend issues relating with pool setup
3. Color scheme for "dark" theme needs to be fixed up (still displays blue side and bottom bar)
4. Mining needs console output for user interface

I cannot get Espers Prototype to sync. Stuck at 299 blocks.
Tried 2 computers. Port is forwarded ok on the router.
9 active connections.

edit, answer just came through above

It'll move again. it's caused by an issue that was documented (no max adjust).

We'll implement a limit to the maximum adjustment which should resolve the issue.

the wallet looks cool~

Where can I get Patch 5? Or whatever is the latest on live main net? I just upgraded to a new workstation, and my client is buggering me about the wrong date and time.

*edit* Apparently I'm running Patch 5 already, but client is still bugging me about the date and time. I might do a re-install or something.

*edit* Either I forgot to set the correct time zone, or it changed on me somehow. Client seems to be working and syncing. Should be fine.

[g3rszpi]

so whats the situation now with CATLIN?
@Cryptocoderz could you enlist the stuffs that CATLIN is providing for ESPERS?

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier we're glad you were able to sort things out, be sure to PM and as always feel free to request to get into our slack, it's open to anyone upon request.

CATLIN and CryptoCoderz solidified ties and we are working together again.

Services that catlin offers are the following:

- Cloud Storage (up to 5TB Packages)
- Web Hosting
- VPS
- Website design
- Graphics design
- Node hosting
- Pool hosting (management + creation)
- Digital Asset services

There's probably something missing in that list, oh and yes... ESP is accepted by CATLIN for the services

[Charloz24]

Sorry if I missed it (or maybe I am blind) but where can I download the Espers testnet?

Have any of you heard about NewsBud yet? (Sibel Edmonds, formerly Boiling Frog)
She's a media in her own right and gets need to fight the tyranny on all fronts, especially when it comes to journalism and "censorship". Know why? Because truth is treason in the empire of lies.
ESPERS offers some great features, including encrypted messaging and coming soon polling capabilities. Where Facebook and Twitter want to play games and group thinkers go along with the "fake news" front, rest assured there are others working tirelessly to combat group think and consolidation of ideology.
While it is true that a lot of people never tip journalists for their content (believe me I know) I think there is a window of opportunity here.
ESPERS just swapped a great deal of tokens, with cutoff date of November 10.
I propose utilizing the power of this community to help independent journalism, even if it is a token gesture. Spontaneous combustion is an interesting phenom. Something worth considering.
There could be tip bot, or mechanisms in place to reward journalism or the clips or live streams?
There could be polling and perhaps this could all be arranged directly from the wallet.
This may be a stretch, but I don't think it is too far beyond the realms of reality in terms of promoting content, free and independent press, and to combat the ignorant hate that seems to be on the rise in America like immediately and by way of agenda.
Can ESPERS fight fascism? That is the question.

Hmmm that is an interesting idea.

The new client will be able to offer p2p messaging like the testnet does encrypted and everything. What we really need to do though for journalists is to have the ability to embed pictures and short videos into the the chain.

That would be something. (Definitely doable)





@Everyone


Excuse the lack of news, currently the testnet client is recompiling, after which the testnet will be offlined and rolled back as the fixes are implemented and publicly tested once more.

Thank you to everyone participating in the Espers testnet! (Did we mention there would be rewards for using the testnet?

my wallet stuck at block 284054, any bootstrap?

[PAMPT]

Im totally out although I never been in. On some ocassions u will lose money if ure dare enough to invest in a token that needs a patch 5, as it implies the incompetence of makers and dullness of compilers and further sets the precedent for more fails in the future.

You're running an outdated client, please download the latest client from the first post in this ANN (the OP) and re-sync please
8.4.0 has long since been soft forked away from.

my wallet stuck at block 284054, any bootstrap?

Restart the client, you're only 4000 blocks away from full sync as of this moment, and yes we will get a bootstrap sorted out and uploaded shortly

You seem to be mistaken, how many versions have bitcoin gone through? that's the equivalency of stating that Doge, LTC, BTC and ETH are worse than this project 5 fold. Let's not even start with the regular software companies such as Apple, or M$, you really want to know how many builds they went through and they are STILL not 100%.
