I can see there is now an EXP deploy option on Azure.

Are there distributed apps for EXP yet?

Regarding the premine, I think it would show some confidence if the premine stash were locked up in a public contract, in the way it was suggested in the white paper.

You would need to read the white paper and see the design for funding, we do need funding to bring in more people, and for the DAO to operate and for the project to last. (The team will be expanding soon) With the popularity I think there are other options however, like a percentage of mining instead if we go hybrid POS/POW. Obviously we are considering all possible options, as long as they would make Expanse better and even more likely to be highly successful.

Just throwing it out there, another idea too is to use the premine purely for staking purposes, not only to provide security but the coins that are staked are the ones that go back to fund development while the core remains untouched.

Were you referring to the pdf posted below your comment?

Expanse v1.3.4 (homestead)

Ethereum Protocol changes

• EIP-7: New EVM opcode DELEGATECALL
• EIP-2: Consensus rules changes
• The gas cost for creating contracts via a transaction is increased from 21000 to 53000; All transaction signatures whose s-value is greater than secp256k1n/2 are now considered invalid;
• OOG CREATE calls when there's insufficient gas for storing the code (as opposed to silently ignoring the code storage);
• Difficulty adjust algorithm has changed to block_diff = parent_diff + parent_diff/ 512 * max(1 - (block_timestamp - parent_timestamp)/ 10, -99) + int(2**((block.number/ 100000) - 2))

Fixes Other
Decreased minimum accepted gas price

- Fixed windows p2p discover bug
- Fixed transaction sorting
- Implement EIP-8 p2p protocol upgrade
