How do I install a wallet (Windows/Mac)?
Please visit: Espers Documentation
How can I sync faster? (Or my wallet stopped syncing)
Try to do everything from the beginning.
--- Download the snapshot ---
Snapshot: Main Snapshot
--- Using the snapshot ---
If you have used the Espers client before be sure to back up wallet.dat to a USB flash drive or hard drive. (If this is your first time using Espers then just keep reading) Then delete the ESP (C:/Users/Your-User/Appdata/Roaming/ESP) folder is the first thing. Then install/run a new wallet (link below) and turn it off. Go to the ESP folder and paste your wallet.dat and the snapshot contents into the ESP folder. Launch your wallet and use it. (Syncing will start right away.)
-- Setting up Espers.conf ---
First, be sure you turn off the Espers client before modifying the config file. Normally you can let the Espers client just auto-generate a working config file. However if you need to run custom settings this is fine too, there are just a few settings that are important to remember to have in the Espers.conf. They are: deminodes=1 (and) demimaxdepth=200
Once you have your config file setup start the client and it will apply your settings.

How do I stake my coins?
Your Epsers needs to mature in your wallet approx 2 hours before they can start staking. You can have your wallet encrypted, but it needs to be unlocked. You can do this from settings. Wallet needs to stay open and connected.
Why do my coins never stake?
There is a large amount of users staking with large balances, we have discussed how stake weight and online user count can greatly affect a user who has coin amounts less than 10-million and even then it may take some time to see a stake happen. We are working on a new Proof-Of-Stake method that is being called PoS-v4 (as currently we utilize PoS-v3, the most updated method). With the upcoming PoS-v4 method this issue will be resolved and coin amount and user count will no longer be detrimental to our users.
I staked but then stopped syncing, why?
This is a known issue which can happen as we have a very strict network security system that ensures all blocks are valid. Sometimes this will cause you to "split" or "fork" yourself and stop syncing. Please bear with us as we are actively finishing an entire network handling overhaul that completely replaces Bitcoin's reference handling as it is not suitable for our sophisticated security system. In the meantime if you do choose to stake, just be aware you may stop syncing and require to re-sync from the snapshot available. This is more of an annoyance thankfully than anything detrimental.
