Novaexchange will be happy with all new users and that amount of free V1 ESP that they are going to recieve.
People will be able to continue mining during the swap?
Yes users will be able to still mine and swap during the swapping phase for the V1 Espers until end of swap phase.
We are using Nova as they were kind enough to offer and this simplifies the process for everyone. We will actually be receiving all of the V1 ESP to burn promptly after swap NOT Nova, please keep that in mind.
