Yeah I have syncing problems, too. I'm sure it will all be solved at one point, these are only temporary problems. When investing I make long-term decisions that are not influenced by temporary problems (or rather to the positive side - temporary problems usually means a good price to get in).
At Block 729000
With ESP price dive since last summer, yeah ESP has become a long term investment.
I mean, with all the money ESP has made you guys last summer, a market value of 24 million $,
I think ESP deserves a more mature and serious approach, compared to what I am seeing now.
The last wallet is very disappointing (did you guys test it at all?), pretty basic stuff:
1) if staking will not work properly until block x -
why does the wallet accept or not warn people when attempting to stake before block x?2) you guys should seriously setup some permanent nodes, and hard code them in the wallet.
3) wallet goes on forks frequently, probably because it's so hard to find nodes. Orphans are a real pest. Addnodes don't seem to help.
4) Development transparency is totally lacking.
Kids, this is not a game anymore; last summer at 30 satoshi, some people made real and expensive commitments to ESP - ESP has just become an adult business; it's time you start treating ESP that way, or pass the stick to another team.
