Is there a plan for Expanse to go PoS? When will that happen? I hope the PoW phase can be 3- 5 years.
That is one of the main possibilities. If we were to just go POS only like Ethereum down the road, then it would happen around the same time as it happens for Ethereum. If we were to go hybrid and so on, also that is something that would happen around the time Ethereum changes. So it would be several months away at least and options are still being discussed. I believe POS only is looking like the best option, but a hybrid POS/POW with very low inflation is also interesting, and there are a few other possibilities as well.
It would be good for the PoW to last several years. Then it becomes hybrid so that network is more secure.
If we were to go hybrid POW/POS, it would likely be sooner than that, but that would mean the POW lasts, just that it would be modified some.
In time we will have one click mining, and of course mining is a great way to get more people in and distribute EXP better. So I think some hybrid options are interesting, but there are a lot of things to consider and we will have to see what works best for everyone.
As long as it is for the benefit of Expanse's security, then so be it. I am buying cheap EXP to hold them for long term, as I expect prices to reach at least $1 or above. In the meantime, I learning even more about EXP commands within gexp. However, I am wondering why am I getting only 1 connection to the EXP network? I mean, I have added some new Perma nodes (like Japan-1 and SE Asia-1) but all I get is 1 connection
Here is a screenshot of my gexp client:
And here are the nodes that I have recently added:
Japan-1

Am I doing something wrong? Please help!
