Launching with POW 100% for sure, and should be same algo as ETH for launch.

There is no time for BTC merge mining and some other suggestions as that would be a huge delay, or POS hybrid, or POS, but I think that is something the community can discuss as possibilities down the road.

ETH algo? So will there be proper windows GPU mining software available?

Here's an idea I've been thinking of that would almost guarantee that Expanse eventually has a larger total number of users/holders than Ethereum. It is looking like bitcoin XT will likely succeed and fork off of Bitcoin QT. What you could do is have a relatively small, but not insignificant premine. These coins would be guaranteed to be payed out at some ratio for QT bitcoins that are burned after the XT fork.

This way everyone who is currently a btc holder is in a way a future Expanse holder. This will generate interest in Expanse even among people who have been hesitant to get involved in Ethereum. There may be a better way to distribute some small (but not worthless) amount of Expanse for burned QT BTC, but that's the general idea I had.

Thats an interesting idea and could be a smart contract, not necessarily exp, but an asset that represents those coins.

This coin sounds good for me. The Franko guys used to be trustworthy folks. BTW don't listen to the "pure pow" freaks. A mixed PoW PoS coin going to be fine. ...also please ignore the ETH shills

.

Four of the top five listings on coinmarketcap are pure POW. There is nothing "freaky" about success.

With Ethereum going POS after a year, I also kind of like the idea of staying POW rather than just following the same path. If so, I really like the idea of smooth reductions slower over time.

Oh yes, the annoucement should be pretty soon. Things are getting closer!

No need to complicate things with trying to incorporate POS code into a new platform.

Why not merge mine it with the most secure network on the planet, bitcoin?

You wouldnt even have to have 10 min block time, look at some of the other bitcoin merge mined coins, theyve played around with faster block times if that is what you are looking for.

But seriously, take advantage of that massive hash the bitcoin network has.

Love all the great ideas. I will mention this to Franko.

There are so many good ideas. You better just make like 10 different clones. LOL

Release the coin. An exact clone is fine. ETH is amazing.

A reduced mining rewards schedule like bitcoin might be cool!

There will definitely be changes, at least some little things. Denominations are going to be metric instead of based on various last names. Just more logical and understandable for most people, and maybe ETH will change to this after people like it done this way in EXP more.

If a GUI cannot be ready by launch, we will still have one soon enough as well, all doable.

Who knows? Maybe Expanse would kill Ethereum and become #2 in market cap. All of this is speculation. Just my opinion, though. You might disagree with it Roll Eyes

I agree PoW/PoS sounds good to me.

OK. I do apologize. I meant "always been"

Please note that a coin can't be really decentralized if the miners can monopolize or semi-centralize the "network maintenance" and currency emission tasks. PoS is a good way for the majority of the coin holders/users to keep some control over the coin against the few big miners.

Looking forward to getting some ExpansEth Cheesy

Maybe launch with GUI wallet?

There will be some changes at launch and some upcoming. The announcement should be soon enough and then we can say for sure.

(There is a GUI wallet of sorts for ETH, just not simple)

which exchange likely?

poloniex & cryptsy both have supported trade for Ethereum clones. We're all just waiting on the clones.

Poloniex and Cryptsy would be great, and I imagine they wouldn't mind the potential volume. Very reliable and trusted exchanges with coins and platforms that last.
