parafaced:Ethere is a decentralized application platform (used by msft).
Expanse is a decentralized application platform, with a focus on a community involvement through blockchain based DAO.
DAO = organisation whos bylaws are coded into existence;
blockchain = database of transactions(or other stuff);
EXP = robust scripting language that users can use to create advanced scripts that are stored in the blockchain;
- decentralized prediction market
- oracles
- multisig addresses
- DMV registry for cars
- DNS registry for domains
"bitcoin has a scripting language that allows bitcoin to do one simple thing, make transactions"
"distributed virtual state machine where users can create shared software applications"
"Through the use of smart contracts, programmed logic can be executed on the blockchain"
10:10 <+defaced> One use case, is a decentralized autonomous organization. Or an organisation whos bylaws are coded into existence.
10:11 <+defaced> another use case would be something like augur, or a decentralized prediction market
10:11 <+aaltc> @defaced: can you give us a little bit of background on why one might be interested on Expanse over Etheruem?
10:11 <+defaced> or even multisig addresses, oracles who can tell you the weather, gambling services, pretty much anything you could think an old phone could do, expanse can also do, in a way that everyone has access.

10:14 <+defaced> it might be cost effective to build apps on exp, exp can also spend more "gas" per app
10:14 <+danconway> Through the use of smart contracts, programmed logic can be executed on the blockchain . This can be used for simple means, like self-assuring contracts, information registries (think replacing registering vehicles DMV with the blockchain, or instead of a global centralized DNS registry for domains, a decentralized public one), to the immense: things like prediction markets like AUGUR, or an entirely open decentralized market , ranging all the way to entire enterprise organizations operated near entirely on the blockchain.
10:14 <+sicarious> perhaps you could expound on what makes EXP unique from ETH, besides the dev team.
10:14 <+sicarious> though I imagine you get asked that a lot.
10:14 <+defaced> Yea thats an easier question haha.
10:14 <+aaltc> thanks @sicarious
10:15 <+danconway> The primary difference between EXP and ETH would surely be the Decentralized Organization that manages the project, through it, all major decisions of expanse are made. Its design and whats implemented in it, its future goals and plans to implement them, management of its funds and assets.
10:15 <+defaced> ^ Agreed
10:15 <+cryptoclub> With Expanse of course we can experiment more, and the DAO will control the premine/reserve, allowing the community to participate in the experiment with their own ideas. We can try some different things than ETH, and of course speculatively with a very low marketcap there is always potential for gains for investors and traders.
10:16 <+defaced> Some technical differences are, higher block reward, longer blocktime to cut down on wasted mining, and a higher gas limit so people can build bigger apps
10:16 <+cryptoclub> The design has funding for 10 years in theory, perhaps longer. The white paper will explain more. It is pretty much ready now.
