For starters, I am not angry. I understand the risks. I would think most of your participants have mined, purchased or maybe even contributed to the development of numerous new coins and have had a loss before.
I jumped onto ESP day 1 of the bitcointalk ANN. I am sorry that your first reaction is to think I am "claiming" whatever while suggesting I have negative motives. I guess that's what I get for holding a million of your coins in high hopes. We can math it up if you like, what exactly is 1 million ESP or ESP2 worth? LMAO, right? Big money scheme I've got going here.
For someone that had high hopes for your project and refused to dump on the first day of sale that comment is a bit of a kick in the gut.
Honestly after the ESP value was less than 1 satoshi for over a month I just left the wallet on my server and walked away from it hoping that it would one day increase its value. After all, the main thing being stated by all holders of this coin is that it was a long term investment and to just hold the coins. So that is what I did. After loosing over a grand on the ETC opening I stepped away from all coins for a while. So I just happened to fire up some old wallets off the server and check things out and that is when I realized that things had changed with this coin. You apparently still have the old coin and from a previous comment you are holding it for future promotions (I would expect these would be a ESP2 promotion that has been converted from ESP). It is whatever, penny coin anyways and with a coin that is supposed to be a long term investment to completely change its stripes mid stroke it is best to stay away from such a model.
Good luck everyone, I will no longer participate but I would hope that eventually ESP does get off the ground. And no, I am not bitter or angry over this but I am a bit shocked that you left no way for long term investors of your coin to come back to you and still be a part of your project. I've bought into many coins and ALL of the others are still there with an update to the wallet and a dat restore I still have their coins. Not everyone is sitting at their rigs monitoring every minute of every coin that is out there. If you claim its a long term investment don't get mad when people come back in a yr wanting to know what happened.
Sorry to see you go bud. I see your point but apparently no other of the coins that you hold had a swap, because swaps always end because otherwise people could mine the old coin at much lower difficulty and swap it to the high-value new coin, so that is not a possibility.
You apparently still have the old coin and from a previous comment you are holding it for future promotions (I would expect these would be a ESP2 promotion that has been converted from ESP).
That is not 100% accurate; The promotions
will be done in ESP 2.0. What devs are holding are the pre-mined coins on the new chain that were NOT swapped for old ESP.
It's got a good community backing it. A lot of the users I see still current have been here since the start. Since I missed the swap and lost out on my original jump I only blame myself. Really was just asking about it originally and only curious if I could somehow get back into the game. And since I didn't swap I could accept it but just wanted to point out that a "long term investment" is more than just a few months and usually your investment doesn't change itself into something you cant use.
I didn't like the accusation of being called fraudulent in some way or the suggestion as it may have been. All hashes are time stamped, you would be able to verify every transaction was before the swap in my wallet off the original blockchain. But I guess I could have somehow magically changed that info across the board on all nodes.
I use my own power, spend more than I should on equipment and exchanges and when I use it towards another persons project to help out the last thing needed is to be considered the enemy. And to that end I have lost the care to support it anymore. Got plenty of other devs out there grateful to their supporters and community.
Best of luck guys, I wasn't trying to be a hassle (:
