Title: ZEC (ZCash) has it started or not? Release 1.0 is out !!
Post by: megacrypto on October 28, 2016, 01:10:20 PM
Been trying to find out if the mainnet has started or not, and would think that in a launch of something like this there would be better info on their website (https://z.cash/ (https://z.cash/))?

also their wiki stopped at setting up testnet (with rc4 https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Beta-Guide (https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Beta-Guide))?

also trying to figure out what gpu miner (390x on Linux) would work with local node?

no need to rush, the initial reward is basically zero, no point in mining early, after two weeks will be around 6 coin per block...
