-------------
1. Wallet POS Update -
Q: The update regarding the "fix" for stacking and mining?
A:The update we need to roll out not is the one for PoS and then toggle the fork. Yes, It corrects all the quirks with the current setup.
Q: What is in update "part2"?
A: Well if you read up a little you'll see that I was saying the previous update placed the new systems for the mining correction so PoW runs correctly and now we're rolling out the PoS modification to make PoS run right. Just a bit staggered.
Q: Sorry if this is already answered didn't read all of it but is PoS fixed or is it as the way it should now? Thanks for answering i am just stacking as much as i can spreading hard in the Netherlands got 8 people with a nice investment already.
A: The update for that is coming soon, It's done, just need to push it out to github and release the new builds for the wallets. Fixed the PoW last week. No worries, yeah what's happening right now is that there are so many people staking that is a bit messy as to who gets a stake. with the update it will be more like everyone gets a turn and the chain makes sure of that.
Q: Haven't staked any coins in weeks.
A: Thats what the upcoming updating is fixing.
2. Masternodes & Whitepaper -
Q: What about masternodes, since the people are somehow hyping coins with masternodes?
A: They are under development, it hasn't been mentioned for a couple get togethers now but they are planned for a late this year.
Q: What is the required amount for the masternode?
A: The community voted upon amount was 25 mill each MN, however many want that changed so it's not a final number.
Q: When will we know a final number?
A: Well we were kind of waiting for the community to pick something but all sorts of numbers still fly around as requests so it's still something to be decided on.
3. Additional Questions -
Q: Is mining still possible on ESP?
A: Yes.
Q: How long? What happens when you switch to POS?
A: You can stake and PoW mine simultaneously. It's a infinitely Hybrid system, PoW and PoS run side by side forever.
Q: Like DASH?
A: Dash doesn't have PoS.
Q: Can someone answer me what the difference is between the full windows wallet and the windows wallet?
A: The difference is one features the auto-updater while the other does not. Also the full wallet will update to include the built in mining later on all on its own.
Q: Can't wait for the follow up updates. How is Yobit doing, they gonna delete this finally?
A: Still haven't heard back from them sadly.
Q: Any news regarding getting listed on a new exchange beside alcurex?
A: Not yet bud, we'll be going to see if Bittrex still wants to talk sometime this week and will let you know what happens.
Q: I just stumbled on 4 million ESP1 that I mined last year (Sitting in my wallet).. Do I get any ESP2 with this balance? Swap?
A: There was a swap almost a year ago, there were many many many announcements on this and even promotions to raise awareness, sorry but we do not exchange ESP1, it is a dead chain that was decommissioned completely almost six months ago.
Q: Sucks to hear this!!! :frowning: Are there any future plans to compensate for ESP1 holders (Before the hardfork)?
A: (whywetrance) Can't as yobit still trades esp1. Anyone could buy off yobit and try to swap. If it wasn't for yobit then it might be possible. (CryptoCoderz) Agreed. If you still have an old wallet and the old wallet.dat file and you can load and screenshot prove that you have the last block available for the decommissioned chain with a current date stamp and showing the wallet's date stamps I MIGHT be able to work something out for you. NOT PROMISES, but I don't want you to things we're out to screw you, we're not, but you must understand we have to be careful.
Q: So I send you the screenshot and unencrypted wallet.dat?? OR screenshots only?
A: Only screenshots. do NOT send me your wallet.dat. do NOT EVER send your wallet.dat to ANYONE. NEVER EVER EVER :smile:
Q: Is this a full time project for you guys?
A: Yes. Well for me at least.
Q: Status solved means bittrex will add esp2? is it possible to ask them they will add esp2 or no when status is solved?
A: (whywetrance) Have already submitted the request, and bittrex has been known to take weeks to add a coin. There's no way to know Bittrex's decision at this point in time.
Q: BTW am I tripping or did I read somewhere that Espers is going to do something with 3d printing?
A: You're not tripping. We're going to be buying a few 3D printers soon. We're just researching what to get.
