Hi people, a few things:
Cryptocoderz is still working on this project. Some time ago in Discord he said that he is taking plenty of time to get things right this time, to avoid getting in another embarrassing situation where things don't work as expected. Please understand this and be patient. I am still holding strong on my ESP because I think the entire project will come back to life eventually, when the problems have been fixed. But yeah as it seems you really need a lot of patience if you want to play this game, and the opportunity costs are real. There's not much we can do though.
Wispr is a different project that attempts to do some "weird" kind of ICO for Espers holders, which is weird because Espers currently has close to no volume. So there is no good reason for them to do it this way, instead of doing an usual ICO, or distributing their coin to Espers holders for free. I would recommend you to be aware of this "weirdness" when considering to accept their offer.
That said, Wispr does not belong to this project at all, so please move your questions and discussions about it to the corresponding thread. If they don't have an official forum thread, that's another "weirdness", but it's not our fault!
Questions about Wispr are offtopic here, as much as questions about any other ICO would not belong to a Bitcoin or Ethereum thread.
Discord is the place where most discussions take place currently, you can find the link in the ANN. Cryptocoderz and other team members are active there occasionally, so if you want to know what is going on you should check out Discord. (honestly - there is not much going on there, either, but a little bit more than here
)
Trading is currently possible against ETH on Livecoin (

Please also consider the two Github wiki entries that I have written about Espers:
