Bitcoin Forum

Here is why I believe Zencash has great upside.

1)   They are laying the groundwork
Zencash will be an improvement over Zcash.
Zencash is a fork from Zclassic, which was a fork from Zcash- They are not starting from scratch, they are improving a very successful program.
Excellent business model. No ICO. Only 1.6 million coins, 21 million max. Founders are Marketing\Business people; they are hiring the needed developers. Founders created a non-profit to collect funds to pay for employees from mined Zen.

2)   Big backers:
Charles Hoskinson current CEO of Input Output HK, he was also CEO of Ethereum. He is a strategic advisor of ZenCash and, in fact, his company IOHK, is one of the core developers.
Hoskinson thinks there is an altcoin bubble and only a few will survive; it’s obvious he believes Zencash is one of them. In fact one of the Zencash founders was with him when he made that speech.

Steven Nerayoff, a very successful entrepreneur, is another strategic advisor. Here is a quote from him:

“I'm very selective on who I attach my name to in an official capacity. I focus my efforts on companies I believe will dominate their portion of the crypto sector.”

These are two very big names in the Cryptocurrency space.

3)   The price was annihilated right out of the gate which eroded confidence.
There was a dramatic price drop after the fork and release on Bittrex. Then this crypto correction caused it to drop even more, creating its current price ---both temporary setbacks.

The current price now sits just off its low, though now rising. The company is only 6 weeks young and already making updates. And this crypto correction will be over, if it isn’t already.

Research this company, research the people behind it. Look at how they set this company up and are laying the groundwork to be successful in the long term. In fact pay attention to how they keep up with public updates; they are done regularly and are very thorough.

I’m sure you can find some negatives to this company, but you find negatives in any cryptocurrency and that includes Bitcoin. When you look at who is involved, how they set it up for the future, I believe they have an excellent chance to be successful.

I still hold on to my chain split zclassic changeover coins to zencash.
When the initial dev left the project I kinda forgot about it.

The other main guy BlockOps did a good job keeping the community informed on any developments with moving the coin forwards.

I say give it a shot.

You have to bring something that stands out to the table... what is this doing that Zclassic isn't doing?. Zclassing was born because of the big fuck up in terms of coin distribution, this attempts to do the same? why??

Are their devs better than the other devs on Zclassic?

You need something, only marketing will not cut it. You need something to market.

Exactly. And why is there no coin swap if they just abandoned zclassic and moved over to zen?

Zencash, with tremendous capital and with the support of people who have a strong management base, that is a very good move. Keep in mind, that the initial step usually bring adverse impact on a company where marketing step is not good. To avoid such adverse effects there needs to be good advertising on the back with good pasa analysis too.

Pay no attention to the avatar, yes, yes it does  :) :) ;D

As a miner of Zencash I have always wondered why the market cap of Zcash is 100x Zencash, if they offer the same (generally) functionality. I guess it comes down to the take-up rate and actual use.

In that regard, when would Zcash's (supposedly) inferior code catch up to bite them? Otherwise what reason for change is there?

ZCL wasn't abondoned but it's meant to be a true ZEC clone only sans premine.  The team wanted to expand the tech without compromising that classic zec flavor so ZEN was spun off for the real work to be done on it.

ZCL lives on, but it's truly just an open ZEC clone.

As the great Yogurt said; merchandising!   Or rather MARKETING!  ZEC spends money on product marketing and devolopment, ZCL is the same tech as ZEC, ZEN is the true fork of ZEC from the ZCL (mostly) team.

I see, thanks for the clarification

Didn't Dev leave the project and threaten to attack the network? That's when the price flatlined and I stopped following.  How did that resolve and did they find a replacement dev?

Should I keep my Zcash hopes alive?

Yes. It was Charles Hoskinson and his team who corrected the problem. The reason you stopped following is the reason I started following. Charles Hoskinson is one of the biggest names out there, and his company is part of the core development team.

With the company being run by a professionals and the big name strategic advisors behind them, I think there could be more going on behind the scenes than we know.

Zencash and Zcl took a good hit. Lost over 90%. May be because of inflation rate?

Something else that stood out to me when I was researching this company. Look at the bio for William Wolf, another core developer.

"Professional developer/engineer for 12+ years, currently leading payments engineering team at Airbnb. Will has worked on the founding teams of several startups, grown and managed engineering teams from 1 to 30+, built scalable high-volume web-based email hosting solutions, a distributed, scalable cloud computing platform called OpenStack, and global payments systems and infrastructure. Will has been involved in Bitcoin and the crypto space since 2011 and has made contributions to many open source blockchain tools, libraries, and systems."

I just see so much Potential here when I add up all the pieces, which includes the low current price.

As much as I sympathise ZEN there's nothing in their roadmap to add any value to it. Finish the website? Develop a wallet? Give me a break please...

Ico is not. This is bad. How can this help us?

Looks intriguing.

Yes, I think Zencash has great potential, and I agree with what you said.

It is always when the price goes down or does not move, that it is very interesting to invest. But many people are waiting for the potential to be revealed to invest ..

It is the price of risk. But also the possibility to have more profitability. ;)

Coins Expensive, I'm not interested. Need big capital to buy it. If invest here for me is very risky, the possibility of profit is very small and loss is very big.
So far I agree Zencash is a good coin. I agree.

No one knows. If privacy becomes atmost important, all privacy related coins may surge in value.

Thanks for this information I will look forward to it. I like the Zcash coin it look good and have a good plan so I hope what they are doing is for the betterment of their coin and I am sure they will get more successful in future.

On paper it looks like something to buy since price is too low and it should be an improvement of a successful coin. I've got a few, let's see where they'll go...

Too cheap to ignore right now. Coin looks very promising.

The price is very good right now and I do not know why it is very low at the moment. Maybe just because there are too many people mine this coin. All "z" coins are good and they need to be on the top 50 coins. Well, hope that zencash price will back to normal

Very convincing, and this week bittrex has again attracted. A merchant will see this as a new field for profit. I hope Zencash fits the prediction.

A very thorough interview with one of the founders of Zencash. Just about anything you want to know about what they're doing is talked about. It's live so sometimes it cuts out, but it is full of good information.

https://blog.zensystem.io/replay-of-live-interview-of-blockops-about-zencash-on-cryptocurrency-talk/

 

After listening to the live chat session, I’m more impressed with the group and what they are developing. He talked a lot about what’s already in the White Paper, but some take-aways for me was:

1)   Secure nodes with secure one-to-many and anonymous publishing capability make this cryptocurrency unique (as far as I can tell anyway). He thinks Asia and South American markets will be huge. One of the founders (Jane Lippencott) is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and is working in Hong Kong now.
2)   Working on a hardware wallet
3)   Focusing on individuals and small business.
4)   They want to be as transparent as possible (something I already noticed before this chat). He believes that it will eventually build trust; they say they’re going to do something, and they do it.
5)   They had actually planned to have the secure nodes working at launch, but was curtailed when the developer left. Apparently Rob Viglione is friends with Charles Hoskinson and Hoskinson got some of his engineers on the project (Hoskinson’s presents here is huge in my opinion).
6)   Already contracted Coinomi to build an Android, IOS, and Desktop wallet.
7)   A lot of development has been going on in the background and we’re about to see the results of that development in a few weeks to a month.
8)     Did not want to create artificial scarcity of the coin by limiting its availability early on just to push the price up.

Looks like a lot is about to happen soon. As long as Bitcoin is standing tall after Aug 1 (and so far it’s looking good), I think Zen will do very well.

The thing is there are so many coins with privacy capabilities these days, You have Monero, all the Zsnark coins, Deep onion, Byteball (blackbytes), Dash etc etc.  Zcash has an uphill battle, It's a fork of a fork of a fork and is starting to fade into obscurity.  It's swimming in a pool of giants, and doesn't even have a presence on Bitcointalk anymore after the ANN was locked.  They didn't have an ICO so there are no funds for marketing.  With the marketcap currently so low, i have a hard time seeing how they're going to gain the exposure to dig themselves out of the trenches. 

The best bet at this point is for them to hope that Zcash explodes and they can ride the wave like how ETC did with ETH.  But even in that scenario they might get overlooked for zClassic.

There's a development/marketing fund that is derived from a portion of coins mined. A percent off all mining goes into the dev fund, kind of a reverse pre mine.

Maybe the best thing to do is to wait for the next z-fork.  ;D

I believe what makes Zencash stand out is their secure nodes and some features other privacy coins don’t have. They want to be the ultimate in privacy when it comes to transactions and publishing.

As for funds; they seem to have that figured out and currently have funds. This is from their website:

“The ZenCash Treasury fund is generated by 8.5% of each block mining reward and is used for operations, development, and getting out the message of Zen to the World.”

In fact the founder said in the chat session that even at today’s prices they have money to pay for development and marketing.

Think about this: First, they got hammered at the start, then they go through the so-called Altcoin correction and now this Bitcoin Fork that’s causing most altcoins to go down. Then you add the fact that this company is only a few months old so it’s hasn’t had much news yet. This company has been running off of fumes, yet they still have enough to pay for developers and marketing. This tells me there was some thought put into this when they set this up. Is it perfect? No, but they are always open to suggestions to make improvements.

I’m not sure I mentioned this before, but unlike other projects out there that might be a scam or simply too complicated to ever come to fruition. This project is very doable. They are only a week or two away from testing the secure node program, so they are already close to that aspect of the project.

Also: don’t underestimate the value of Charles Hoskinson, and Steven Nerayoff's backing of this project.

Of course I could be wrong about its future in the cryptocurrency world, I’m trying to make an educated guess like everyone else, but right now I still like its potential.

I know they have a founder's reward just like Zcash.  But the thing is Zcash was the first and generated alot of hype, with a token being more than 1 BTC when if first launched.  With Zenn i feel like the marketcap has fallen so low that it's hard to dig yourself out.  At a 5M dollar current marketcap with the coinprice being so low, that Dev reward is negligible.  The team will have to put in alot of free work or build a strong community behind this project.  The latter is going to be really hard to do without a presence on the forum.   

A link to Zencash’s first live stream; start listening at about 51 minutes into the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApAHIjgpU-o

A ton of information, a LOT going on, too much to post here. I urge others that are even a little interested to listen to the update, you’ll learn more on what they are about.

The one thing I will say is that I have noted before that Steven Nerayoff and Charles Hoskinson who are the stratregic advisors, are very big names in the crypto space and they haven’t just lent their names to the project; they are actually participants and involved with Zencash. Nerayoff is one of the members of the Zencash non-profit foundation, and Hoskinson’s company is part of the core team. There’s no way they would be this involved unless they thought Zencash had great potential.

There has to be real separation from the pack. Once you get to a certain price point their has to be good news and large development to increase the value of the coin. That is why so many trade with the lower alts. For a longer term investment, this does have some potential. Buy and it and don't look for two years, you might be pleased.

It appears the livestream opened a lot of eyes. The price was up over 50% at one point since the YouTube video.

A few things I learned:

They already have the secure node running on the testing severs.

Jane Lippencott – Their Asian Operations - (she speaks Mandarin Chinese) is working on getting Zen on the Asian exchanges where they think Zencash is going to be a big market.

oh, this is very good news. i have high hopes for zencash

Zen is one of a few coins that cought my eye a while back and so far it seems to be continuing to push ahead as one of the most promising, while I still say spread your hashes Zen is the one that always has a chunk of mine pointed at it.

From Quora: "Which 5 altcoins have the best chance of being as successful as Bitcoin?"

One of the five given:

ZenCash (ZEN)
There are a number of altcoins that are based off of zero knowledge encryption. The strongest one is Zcash (ZEC), but that has already gotten a significant amount of attention. ZenCash is much lesser known, and has a much smaller market cap. It had a rough launch and some developer drama that lead to a big sell off, of which it has not yet recovered. However, they have big plans, and development is moving along. In the coming weeks they will be releasing their first major differentiating feature: “Secure Nodes”. This will likely garner a fair amount of attention, and the price will increase accordingly.

New Ann thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047435.0

Rob Viglione, Co-Founder of Zencash https://zensystem.io/ spoke at the 100xInvestors Online Webinar Summit - w/Monero's Fluffy Pony

https://steemit.com/zencash/@itsmee.bosslady/zencash-is-presenting-today-at-100xinvestors-online-webinar-summit-w-monero-s-fluffy-pony

Tatiana Moroz (who will now be leading ZenCash marketing) is also speaking there.

For me. ZenCash is developing very well in the Cryptocurrency market, as ZenCash 24 hour volume is increasing rapidly. I think if ZenCash attracts more big investors around the world then surely ZenCash is a good choice.

Why I'm decided to join this team? Because they are working really hard on finishing their goals and they very professionally in every aspect. Everyone can join and help shaping of this projects with its ideas, and i bealive this is most important. They are transparent and open for talk.
Also very important thay have treasury and enough funds for further developnet and marketing. And already you can see much work is in progress, and a lot of happenings. And this is just the beginning!

Why I think ZenCash price will rocket

New Live Stream this Wednesday at 1pm EDT - Find out what's going on in the background.

https://blog.zensystem.io/new-zencash-livestream-schedule-wednesday-1pm-edt-held-biweekly/

Ok ZenCash is about privacy. but I can have quite a private wallet and transactions and messaging with DeepOnion through TOR network
Can someone make a professional comparison

Def recommend continuing to take those sec precautions either way, but ZenCash is just fundamentally different than using bitcoin over tor:

• Make use of zk-SNARKs for shielded transactions that don't show up visibly on the blockchain
• We're building a compensated network of secure nodes that will have an increasing set of useful network functions, such as computational load distribution so we can use shielded tx with light clients
• A cryptocurrency project with sustained funding via block reward distribution
• Experimental governance that evolves with feedback instead of static consensus from BTC
• Integrated secure messaging
• IPFS doc publishing

BTC is still a great bet IMO, and i personally keep part of my wealth in it, but we're one of a variety of competing projects innovating in diff ways.

Great question btw!

Yes you can use TOR for this:
https://www.howtogeek.com/142380/htg-explains-is-tor-really-anonymous-and-secure/

Someone with bad intentions can create node and listen all activities..And be sure, if such possibility exists someone already doing this!

Power behind ZenCash is advanced crypto technology "zk-SNARKs". zk-SNARKS enable transactions of ZenCash without revealing the sender, receiver, or amount onto the blockchain. Messages inside wallets are secured with this technology, same as transactions. Content is encrypted end to end. Next is secure publishing with the wallet, it will be soon available.

https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/12/05/zksnarks-in-a-nutshell/ This technology is too complicated to be explained in few lines of text, or in one post.

So far vulnerabilities do not exist.

Great Live Stream last night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pxzbWSaymk

Apparently Zencash is getting a lot of attention from the Russians.

An Impressive list of things happening. Better to listen to Live Stream than have me list it here.

I think this is natural, people from eastern Europe and Russia have this fear from the past, they have better understandings and sense of privacy and freedom than people from Western countries.

I can't wait to see Tatiana Moroz and her team how bringing ZEN enormous popularity. She is very popular and knows a lot of people from business and politics. Meeting was awesome!

I think we do not need to open another topic for discussions, we can use this as official,
and this one for speculations https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2078049.new#new
What do you think?

Agree.

BTW, there will be another Live Stream this Wednesday at 1:00 pm eastern. No link yet. Always lots of good information there.

A link to the Livestream tomorrow. They usually have an edited recording on Youtube later on.

https://blog.zensystem.io/new-zencash-livestream-schedule-wednesday-1pm-edt-held-biweekly/ (https://blog.zensystem.io/new-zencash-livestream-schedule-wednesday-1pm-edt-held-biweekly/)

Those who are interested can involve themselves and ask questions, or give comments during this meeting. Link will be provided later today.

One of the advantage of ZEN is the decentralized governance. Other anon coins like monero and zcash are controlled by the devs. I believe Zencash will be used by people in countries with oppresive governments, not just for illegal activities. The zenhide function allows you to use ZEN in any censored environment using domain fronting. Https connections hide your dns and the fact that you are using it. This combined with Zentalk, you are able to message anonymously.

Livestream yesterday had a lot of interesting Items to note:

About to spin up a team in Australia and New Zealand and will have a team up and running in Portugal soon.

Coinomi mobile Wallet which has an embedded exchange using Shapeshift- Expected integration next week. Which means Zen should be available on Shapeshift.

CoinPayments integration Sept 5th.

Can now run Zencash over Tor network.

Ledger, Bisq, and Cryptopia integrations hopefully within two weeks.

Should have already been on the YObit exchange but hasn’t happened yet, should happen any time. This is the one I’m interested in because they have a very large Russian community following Zencash and this is a Russian exchange. In fact Zencash has 3500 followers on their version of Facebook. This is one of the reasons they have a Russian version of the website already up.

Marketing getting started.

There's so much more going on, but too much to share here. They have a Livestream every two weeks on Wednesday 1 pm eastern. You can listen to the recorded version on youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfsjXALodXU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfsjXALodXU)

In my opinion . This Altcoin really got off to a good start since the bounty campaign was started and more specifically the altcoin is limited to 21 million ZenCash and much like Bitcoin. I think in the future ZenCash will reach $ 50 later this year

wow that's great and if your speculation will happen more people will get involved it seems that this project really doing his job and the dev behind
knows how market moves just keep bringing more good news to the community and Zencash will explode.

The price can go higher than 50 dollars but for the end of the year, yes I think this price is accessible.

It is a great project with a team that works well and has a real strategic and community vision.

What really sets Zen apart for me is the decentralized voting, and decentralized masternodes. This insures the coin could never be taken over by a government or rich powerful entity. I believe zencash will become the top anonymous currency partly because of the secure messaging, political disadents from oppressed countries, journalists, privacy minded folk will want to use this feature. You could send leaks to wikileaks and tip them at the same time.

There was a question asked on Reddit about Zencash:  https://www.reddit.com/r/ZenSys/comments/6x8qsb/the_present_and_future_of_zencash/

“Why do you think it’s important for it to exist?”

I gave an answer, but didn’t really put that much thought into it until moments later; then it hit me like a ton of bricks!

I said it was important to be able to communicate without someone watching.
 
So think about this: if Zencash becomes the most private, safe and autonomous way to communicate and there’s no way to track or retrieve that information…….can you imagine half the population buying Zen just to use the communication aspect of Zencash!

Most are thinking about the currency aspect of Zen, but the Private Communication could be what really takes hold.

There's already some really good and VERY secure methods of communication (electronic and otherwise).  I see ZEN's encrypted messenging as a nice bonus and adding to it's utility but not it's defining feature by a long shot.

ZEC's success is obvious today and they've carved out a nice chunk of the "privacy" based crypto pie, but ZEC has shortcomings.  Being such a big player they're a less agile project and being able to pivot in today's world is critical for success (unless you hit it out of the park on your first at bat).

ZEN builds on ZEC's success but is bringing new/different/and almost certainly better security and privacy enforcing features to that codebase as well as leaving room for growth and new development as needed.

Thankfully now that the team's early growing pains seem mostly sorted and the recent rack record I could see ZEN come to be toe to toe with ZEC in the not too distant future (certainly technologically, if not value wise as well).

ZEN has some ambitious dev goals that when (if?) they pan out will likely become new best practices in the anonymous crypto world, and the broader crypto sphere too.

interesting project, hopefully they can distinguish themselves from other coins, time will tell

ZEN vs others? My opinion.

* ZEN is focused on user experience and usability, and this is one of differences which we are proud. Accent is thrown on exchanges, wallets - accessibilities.
* Secure nodes which are unlike clasic master nodes, sense for existence of those nodes is additional layer of security, so profit was not main target.
*Community involment is maybe most important diference, ZEN is building system where all involved will have the chance to influence the future of project.
*Transparency of the team is what I like most. Updates are done biweekly and whole team and comunity are involved.
*ZEN has treasury and doesn't depend on donations. We can say ZEN is self sustainable.

I think those differences are crucial and they are welcomed by community and investors.

that does not look like a value proposition to me...

the performance of this project is very good even just take a short time already on can feel the results of all that in connection with the founders who are very disciplined in managing a project and not just a promise but there is proof of fact. hopefully from here emerge many ico similar to this.

I believe that ZenCash has a lot of potential as a privacy coin.
It offers improvements over zcash with its upcoming secure nodes
Also, the logo looks much better!! :P

https://blog.zensystem.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ZenCash-Overview-for-Investment-Professionals-v2.pdf
This is a very good official document for all beginners, who are investigating about this project.
(Overview and highlights for investors. Value proposition, team, goals..)

Zencash gets mentioned in "TheSreet.com": 

https://www.thestreet.com/story/14297576/1/venezuelans-flock-to-bitcoin-as-source-of-income.html

BTW, looking at the website, the team is growing. New operations popping in various parts of the world.

https://zensystem.io/team/

It's good to see that they're forming a better team, but when is it too big?

There are many aspects to Zencash that need the expertise of various people. Secure nodes, Wallets, Website design, Marketing, etc. You also need all of this done in many different languages, which is why Zencash already has their website written in several languages, with more to come.

All of the operations (which include marketing and developing) that are about to begin in various countries will cater to those people in their native language. This is only a start, I think we’ll see more as time goes on.

I don’t think most of these operations have really started yet, but with Secure Nodes going live in about a month that’s when these current operations, and any new ones they add, may start to put the pedal to the metal. Things could get pretty exciting for Zencash by then. I guess we'll see.

I agree that Zencash has a huge potential. But potential is not everything...

Zen's low marketcap is an enormous strength, to my mind. Of course something valuable can get even more valuable. But from what I see in the crypto space the really exponential increases in short periods of time tend to happen less once market cap increases. Just on the speculative side, I like the look of Zen.

As for what Zen's position in the privacy coin space, at this point I see only one main competitor, and that is ZEC, which has a much higher market cap. There are other competitors but I see them as either too small/immature/not seriously developed or have governance and development based entirely on volunteerism. I cannot see a project really working purely on volunteerism - Bitcoin is a sort-of example of this, the insane delay in scaling because competing vested private interests stopped development, and of course now most development is done not by volunteers but by coders paid by whatever faction they give their fealty to (eg Bitcoin Core/Blockstream). I don't like that route. I much prefer a scheme where some of the mining reward funds development.

That's what Zen has.

As far as future potential, I personally believe getting Zen included in a multi-currency mobile wallet will be important to fund adoption.

The development of zen has increased significantly this time and it seems that before the beginning of 2018 Zen prices will be 2 times higher than before, and Zen has the potential to continue to grow and compete with some other coins in the crypto market.

It will growth few month later I think. Today better to invest in top 5 coins.

its depend ifhow the development will be supported I agree that potentials are already there it will be now for the traders and investors on how
they will use it and how this project will gain good support from trading industry.

Zencash is gettiing added to coinomi, which is a mult-currency wallet.

Zencash is now lised on Cryptopia:

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=ZEN_BTC

what do you guys think about the secure nodes?

42 ZEN required, not that big of an investment. Estimated 7.56 ZEN per month reward with the existance of 1000 nodes......

Number of ZEN per month (first 4 years)
216000

3.5% for Secure Nodes
7560


Let's say 10,000 nodes go up since the barrier to entry is so low, that's 0.756 zen per month? =/

You could ask here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047435.420

or go to Slack where there are plenty of people there to answer your question.

Also: the percentages are subject to change if enough people and the founders agree they are needed.

I had ZEN before it's price become more than 5$. I thought that there are too much same coins to hodl ZEN. But soon after I've sold it the growing started. Unfortunately, I'm not in position.

It really hasn’t started yet. Secure Nodes will be out in a month. Zencash operations are about to start up in various countries. New website and roadmap later this month. Ledger integration soon, more exchange listings, etc.

This project is only about 4 months old, but a lot will be happening between now and the end of the year (less than 4 months left in the year).

Z coins are all potential. Zcoin, zcash, zencash, etc. They are very good for long term investment. If you are a patient one, holding them will give you a huge profit. Dont be scared when its price drop. They will soon recover from the crash

Yep. This is ground floor on what could be a top 20 crypto in 1 year.

Currently Z coins have a good chance in the market and are accompanied by active price movements that allow Z coins to be in the crypto market and compete with some other big coins. And Zen cash for future investments due to its ever-increasing popularity.

Zencash is now available for merchants via CoinPayments.

Also: tune in to the Zencash Livestream tomorrow:

https://blog.zensystem.io/new-zencash-livestream-schedule-wednesday-1pm-edt-held-biweekly/

Live Stream three (3) hours from now.

I agree the Z have a great future. Zencash is a great future community project. With true decentralization and absolute anonymity. And Zcoin is unique in its category. Those who do not take advantage to buy at the price where it is, will regret it one day ..

Thank you. You are convinced me, I'll be in touch with ZEN. I hope that there will be success ;)

P.S.
Where do you think will be the ZEN bottom while this correction? When should we get in?

I'm expecting this will be very fast recovery. People will become aware that all this is pure manipulation. Altcoins are in danger, no matter if BTC rising or falling. Just wait.

Evidently that BTC becoming very dangerous for fiat. And not only BTC..We can say Crypto.

There’s a big Cryptocurrency/Blockchain conference called the Nexus Conference, being held at Aspen, Colorado on Sep 21st-23rd.

Rob Viglione and Charles Hoskinson of Zencash will be speaking there.

http://www.nexusearth.com/conference.html

JPMorgan Chase To Integrate Zcash Technology To Its Enterprise Blockchain Platform

https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2017/05/22/jpmorgan-chase-to-integrate-zcash-technology-to-its-enterprise-blockchain-platform/#51c0cf107a33

This is really big. The most valuable bank in the world wants to start using a privacy coin. Remember, Zencash is essentially Zcash but with the added security of Secure Nodes.
So if chase wants to start using this technology, what other companies are going to follow suit?

The implications are huge.

https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/70813/stormx-and-zencash-team-up

Zencash is still growing. I think the price of Zencash has not yet reached a point where everyone would think that it is floating like a bubble. The coverage and the scope of the project in terms of additional countries are growing even wider. There will be a higher point for this.

My sense it will go raise like a crazy. They will do great things with ethereum network. I took some to my bag.

He is probably talking about KMD coin..

There will be a Zencash Youtube Livestream tomorrow (Wednesday 9/27) at 1pm Eastern (US)

I like the Zcash coins look nice and have a good plan so I hope what they are doing is improving their coin and I am sure they will be more successful in the future.
Now is very good and I do not know why it is very low at the moment. Maybe just because there are so many people dropping this coin. It is a fork of a fork of a fork and is starting to disappear in the dark. It is swimming in a giant tank, and does not even have a presence on Bitcointalk anymore after the ANN is locked. thank you

I think this was all started as more of a grass roots effort. Instead of a huge marketing campaign they relied more on word of mouth. They do have Crypto Media Hub they just hired, but they just started, so it will take time. I think a lot may change when Secure Nodes launch; it should be easier to Market Zen when they have something that differentiates them from everyone else.

Having said that, I agree, they need more exposure. It’s only lately I realized how under the radar they really are to other anon coins, let alone the rest of the crypto world.

BTW their ANN page is here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047435.0

Yes, zencash potential give big profit. Because value, believe worth more than today. One of my favourite altcoin in longterm trading.

Secure Nodes will be launched soon. Here is an excellent article on the system and why its existence is important.

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@blockops/zencash-secure-nodes-create-a-distributed-and-reliable-cryptocurrency-system

Yes zencash has excellent potential.it is a very good coin and can have a great future.its fundamentals are good.it will take a good jump in coming time

Looks like btc will in some stable range for next 1-2 months. So alts can show good perfomance. I am hold some zencash and zcash also. Jpmorgan news is awesome  :)

I've heard about releasing of masternodes at ZEN. Is this true? When do they plan to do so?

last week's video update
https://blog.zensystem.io/zencash-bi-weekly-update-from-sept-27th-2017-video-and-slides/

Zcash, Monero, Verge, Zcoin, Dash etc... aren't all PoW coins? I think yes and this is a big issue for me. I think a PoS ver of zCash would be an excellent potential

Maybe you're right, it is more efficient, energy savings, but so far POW is favored by the market. ZenCash team in white paper presented that for a new ideas we won't have boundaries. Also we are relying on feeedback's from the system and it's users in further development.

Edward Snowden says Zcash could be best Bitcoin alternative

https://perc360.com/edward-snowden-says-zcash-best-bitcoin-alternative/

Zencash is essentially Zcash but with the added security of Secure Nodes; I wonder what he would think of Zencash?

Any word on the ROi for masternode?

Estimation is at least 1000 nodes will be at start. Because it is profitable it will attract more people very fast, and this number will increase few times probably.
Price for vps is between 2 and 5 dollars.

Zen looks like great investment now!

Zencash. Wish I'd gotten on that boat earlier. I made the wrong choice for an anon coin (well wrong for now at least) and saw ZCash just zoom by. It is probably still a good buy now but at the price, I don't feel like I would want to own less than one coin. It's already made its huge gains like Dash, but definitely has a lot of room to grow into 2018. If it's still hovering at current price by January, it's worth another look.

its always a good time if the project still got a lots of innovations and updates, so even the value already rise eventually there's still more jumped to expect
and you are correct there's some good possibilities that this coming 2018 Zencash will explode more I will also try to research deeper and hold some coins for future investment.

I will look more into it, it is looking interesting

Yes absolutely right Zencash is really good potential coin I think.I bought 80 zencash when price was 180$+ I have plan with zencash.Still now price is $239 I think end of December it wil be hit worth of 280$+

People are selling Zen to keep the BTC, which will make the ZEN market continue to decline in recent times. I think the current price of ZEN is very low, I will buy ZEN if the market rebound

Agreed, it's a very undervalued project right now and especially with the focus on privacy coins, I think this one will do very well in the next run. Also, for those interested in masternodes, it only requires 42 coins, whereas most masternodes are cost prohibitive due to the large number of coins required.

Yes, Zencash has a great potential and now everybody seems to know it.

This Telegram group was saying that since some time already:

https://t.me/CDiamonds (https://t.me/CDiamonds)
https://twitter.com/CryptoDiamonds/status/921035933318819840 (https://twitter.com/CryptoDiamonds/status/921035933318819840)

Hello fellow ZenCash enthusiast!! I have been following this project for about 2 months now, and pointed all my mining power towards ZEN. And god am i happy right now!! the last 48 hours have made me ALOT of money. The best part is: Its far from over, the price does not even come close to what the project is worth. The dev team is outstanding, communication is 10/10.

I think ZenCash has great Potential, <$30 I will keep accumulating happily :)

 

I believe that zencash great growth potential in the future. I think this coin will cost$ 100 or more at the end of this year.

The founders are ex-government. So they know how to perfect the privacy coin before anyone else can.

They were military officers - job as every other. Why this should be highlighted? Many developers here have similar background, working for government or its organizations, as daily job. Core beliefs are important. We all must work for our masters of puppets, for now..

well i m planning to buy a rig of 6vgs RX480 8gb..

i m planning to mine some zencash.. how much profit can i make in it ? and is it really profitable to mine zencash ? and is it the most profitable altcoin at the moment to mine ???

any suggestions ?

at the end of this year ? 2017 ????? well aren't u too optimistic ??? why u making such claims,.. i mean if there is something really substantial that makes u belive that ? can u share ? plz

Thank you for that information. I can see that Zencash is a great project and will still grow and become beneficial in the future.

This Altcoin really got off to a good start since the bounty campaign was started and more specifically the altcoin is limited to 21 million ZenCash and much like Bitcoin. I think in the future ZenCash will reach $ 40 later this year

It's a good investment was lucky to get few of it

Zencash is my special coin.I hold 45 Zencash for life time investment.Zencash future is  fully bright i believe strongly.Because this coin development is very strong and hard work behind the scene.

I'm a bit late to the party compared to most on here, but finally picked myself up some Zencash. The upside potential of this coin is huge IMO, even after its recent price jump. I'm quite interested to see what effect the secure nodes going live on November 30th will have.

Dear,

Do you know how ROI of Zencash daily/yearly with masternode run? how many percent of coin per day?.

Thank you.

I've heard about Zencash. I see the price of Zencash is pretty good and will always increase in the future. Zencash is quite popular and I think it's good to make trading tools. That's because Zencash still does not have many rivals miner and the price that can still be reached. I think GPU mining will be profitable. But for my own investment, I think it will be profitable as well and good. In addition to Zencash also have similar Altcoin similar to him, namely: Litecoin, Dash, Ethereum, and several others. Anyway, this is just my humble opinion.

Many people want that coin to go up because they've received the coins as a reward for doing equations...I don't really care for it.

I TOLD MY BUDDY TO INVEST IN ZENCASH WHEN IT WAS 5 BUX.. HE CHOSE VEROS INSTEAD.

http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/Smileys/blue/snoopfacepalm.png

I am completely in favor of Zencash, I have bought a few when it was quite cheaper and I now just regret I didn't buy even more.

Right you are. This is the altcoin with a huge potential, and its capitalization is rapidly growing. Although Zencash appeared as a result of the rebranding of ZClassic, which in its turn was obtained as a result of the fork of Zcash, this alt turned to be a very promising coin. The graph shows its growth

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zencash/

I also think that zencash has a good potential. Despite the road map and what awaits us in 2018. The project looks impressive. Just looking at the price chart it is evident that since the advent of the coin she is very confident moving even compared to BTC. And if now the market altcoins will go up. I'm sure the price growth zcash will be one of the best

Yes, I think that Zencash has an excellent potential. But best moment to buy was a few months ago.

So buying time for this altcoin is not now? I dont really think so, it can grow more in near future and making new high level. This is still good time to buy Zen

Yes, it has a great potential as it is the platform that is designed for private communication and private financial activities. Probably this video will be curious to all of us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-1bRIfjXDw

Ofcourse! I think ZENcash will take over Zcash. Its just a matter of time. ZEN has superior dev team, better technology, better everything. The only thing holding Zcash up is their network hashrate imo.

Exactly. On the long run people will also prefer a coin where the devs don't get an unlikely share of the coins, as it happens with Zcash.

Zen Secure Nodes Reach 8,000+ in 3 Months!

https://blog.zencash.com/zen-secure-nodes-reaches-8k/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=social&utm_content=secure+node&utm_campaign=8k

What about now?



Please forgive my ignorance but what happens to the MN payout of 3.5% when the mining rewards become unprofitable that the miners stop mining ZEN?

For me its still undervalued. You can still buy more Zencash now. also don't miss that bitcoin will enter a bullish zone if it passes over 9k in few days.
than you will easyly double up your money with zencash.

In my opinion the promoters are very mediocre due to mediocre ideation of use cases for the product. I would think twice about putting any money in.

https://i.imgur.com/g54REtO.pngf

You can do your own calculation, Secure Nodes are still profitable.
https://zen.lebre.net/

Mining difficulty increasing, I don't see miners lost their hope.
 On Contrary only small portion of coins are on exchanges and this small percentage forming the price.

Take your time and investigate more about Zen, here is an article which will probably change your picture about Zen.
https://blog.zencash.com/zencash-treasury-and-voting-model-update/?utm_source=blog+post&utm_medium=social&utm_content=R%26D&utm_campaign=Dao+model+update

DataDash (https://bestcrypto.tv/author/datadash/) just made an interview with Robert and Rolf from ZenCash!

https://bestcrypto.tv/428/exclusive-interview-with-robert-rolf-from-zencash/

What do you talking about?
This project is all about improving Blockchain using existing technologies, and researching and developing best solutions for existing and future problems in usage of Blockchain..You probably don't have big picture about this project, and you won't find it on exchanges..

Firstly Zencash didn't ICO, it's a fact. Have you ever read the white paper? I am sure NO, maybe you have not even visited the website.
Zencash is not just a crypto, it's a complete platform focusing privacy with messaging and more. What do you mean with " insufficient use of Blockchain tecnology" by the way?

I like many things about Zencash, and first of all it's a team.
When the team is excellent - it definitely shows the excellent potential.
I had a chance to speak with some team members, and I'm looking forward to future meetups and conferences.

Then of course I like the projects like Zenpub and Zenhide - how to see them released soon!

I also think the project team is quite successful. The authors of the project managed to create a distributed block platform, which ensures the anonymity of the network. ZenCash is not just anonymous crypto currency, it's something akin to an anonymous social network with its own crypto currency.  ZenCash network allows you to send messages to network members, publish documents and make transactions being at a great distance from each other. It's the approach to creating such tools that makes ZenCash a truly special project with its crypto currency guaranteeing complete security.

Zencash is a great future community project. With true decentralization and absolute anonymity. And Zcoin is unique in its category. Those who do not take advantage to buy at the price where it is, will regret it one day ..

Despite the rapid beginning, the currency can not compete with bitcoins at a value rate;
  The developers of Zcash officially support only Linux. Earlier they made it clear that they do not intend to support other operating systems on an official level. Similar functions have already been taken over by other organizations.
Among professionals, there is an opinion that this currency embodied all the properties and qualities that would initially be desirable to see bitcoin in the first crypto currency.

Zencsah is a excellent project. of course it has very good potential. I think it is awesome in his category. It gives us the complete security in the crypto market.I also congratulate to the team member to make this project succeed. those people who are not participate in this project one day they will regret upon his decision.

Zen is an end-to-end encryption system with zero technology knowledge where communications, data, or values can be sent and stored securely. This is an integration of the technological revolution that creates an end system where innovation can be accelerated by a combination of three traditionally performed separately:

1) transaction
2) communication, and
3) competitive governance.

This is done in a security and an anonymous way, using
a worldwide distribution of block chains and computer infrastructure.
The system is integrated with the best forms of technology in which a
transparency for unlicensed innovations that can develop with
user desires.

Currently Z coins have a good chance in the market and are accompanied by active price movements that allow Z coins to be in the crypto market and compete with some other big coins.

The only thing I've heard about Coin is that as a cryptocurrency is very well protected, though the idea of developers is not particularly great.

 It was Charles Hoskinson and his team who corrected the problem. yes the reason you stopped following is the reason I started following. Charles Hoskinson is one of the biggest names out there, and his company is part of the core development team and with the company being run by a professionals and the big name strategic advisors behind them, I think there could be more going on behind the scenes than we know.

Partnership with IOHK for research and development in 2 very important projects.

1. A programmatic DAO Treasury and Voting system

2. A scaling study to evaluate next generation blockchain solutions

ZenCash Treasury And Voting Model Update
https://blog.zencash.com/zencash-treasury-and-voting-model-update/

Good news! Infopulse is good company.
So I'll be observing how the DAO develops.
Any ideas when ZenCash team will visit Kyiv next time?

It will make it really decentralized and censorship-resistant. Let's wait Q2 2018  8)

Zcash, Monero, Verge, Zcoin, Dash etc... aren't all PoW coins? I think yes and this is a big issue for me. I think a PoS ver of zCash would be an excellent potential

POW is superior than POS(from security perspective). Also Pos has one big downside, wealthy individuals have a much larger incentive to validate in POS and will also accumulate more coin at a faster rate.. :D

ZenCash got featured as #2 coin to watch next week by CoinCodex (https://coincodex.com):

https://coincodex.com/article/1956/coins-to-watch-july-2-july-8-2018/

Actually all investment can be encash using the electronic wallets.
Through this they can make the process more even better and easier that can be helpful in the entire community in this world.

Actually the encsh is great thing because it do have lots of great feedback that can help the people to make something new in their life and through this they can have a great potential as well.

Zencash. Wish I'd gotten on that watercraft before. I settled on the wrong decision for an anon coin (well wrong for the present in any event) and saw ZCash simply zoom by. It is presumably still a decent purchase now yet at the value, I don't feel like I would need to possess short of what one coin. It's as of now made its enormous increases like Dash, however certainly has a considerable measure of space to develop into 2018. In the event that it's as yet floating at current cost by January, it's justified regardless of another look.

Zencash. Wish I'd gotten on that vessel before. I settled on the wrong decision for an anon coin (well wrong until further notice in any event) and saw ZCash simply zoom by. It is presumably still a decent purchase now yet at the value, I don't feel like I would need to claim short of what one coin. It's now made its immense additions like Dash, yet unquestionably has a considerable measure of space to develop into 2018. On the off chance that it's as yet drifting at current cost by January, it's justified regardless of another look.

Yes, and just to add, if you compare with Dash, a price to setup secure node or even super node in ZenCash is much less expensive
It's affordable, at least for now)

Hello for me Zencash is a very promising coin. I invest in Zencash and I hope that the course will prevail.
In Zencash a very good team with contiguous goals in the development of technology.

at first i heard about z3ncash a fe2 months ago and i 5hink thatbit has some potential but we need to wait for a while

this is  agood cryptocrr3ncy but i do not think thqt it is the right 5ime to but it? maube i am toonparanioc though

The same we can say about all crypto.
Volatility is high now, but some people see these times as good opportunity to invest

Cryptocurrency founder has global ambitions

Rob Viglione wants to change the world through cryptocurrency.

While Viglione, founder of privacy-centric cryptocurrency ZenCash and a PhD candidate in finance at the University of South Carolina, served as a military scientist working with combat support intelligence in Afghanistan, he saw firsthand how tumultuous societies led to unstable currency. With an interest in Bitcoin and a background in physics, mathematics and economics, he decided to try to help.

I believe that ZenCash is one of the leaders of today's market. Recently, the team is actively working on the development of the platform ecosystem. The project doesn`t stand still and continues to develop. In the future, the ZenCash team will focus on supporting the network and work products, countering "51% attacks," and developing sidechain solutions. A few days ago there was a mandatory update of the Super Node software.

Today I was once gain in Shato Robert Doms Restaurant (Kyiv, Khreshatyk 24) and this time I paid for coffee and tea in ZEN (Horizen, ex-ZenCash) which is available with Paytomat system.

This time I took photo of 2 bills, the one on the left is in ZEN and paid it instantly from Coinomi wallet.
0.31951 ZEN was at the moment around $5. The check on the right is ordinary check, which lists what you took, for example #1 is coffee (59 UAH, Hryvnya - Ukrainian currency) and #2 is tea (78 UAH)

https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmUJCoybvpbsQENXSGqv6HV7RFr5wis11xMdWeKxaCsEPT

Grayscale launched an Investment trust for Zen the cryptocurrency from Horizen (Zencash is now Horizen (https://horizen.global)). Grayscale has currently only a few crypto assets (https://grayscale.co/). Perhaps less than a dozen. It prefers quality over quantity. Having a just a few cryptos is showing how strict this asset manager is while choosing a crypto, making a deep due diligence before investing in anything (everyone should by the way).

The team behind Horizen is surely proud to see Grayscale looking closely at Zen, it's a great reward for them for sure
 
With Grayscale adding Zen it opens the doors to institutional and accredited investors. What does it mean? It means than crypto asset managers do believe in the potential of Zen. And they are smarter than us with funds management. Institutional investors can now invest in crypto without the fear of regulation, etc. Be sure to see some big investors coming to Zen very soon

Digital Currency Group is also looking at Zen, because the group is interested with privacy coins, if you don't know what is behind the Digital Currency Group, check out its portfolio, you're surely familiar with a lot of them https://dcg.co/portfolio/

Technically speaking, Horizen has more than a cryptocurrency to offer. Check out the website to know what products the team is working on. It also has R&D projects with IOHK  (https://twitter.com/inputoutputhk)for DAO voting system and scaling solution (IOHK is from Cardano dev.)
The team is not a bunch of geeks, they are passionate, have an ideology and are dedicated to work on Horizen. While some cryptos have just a few members on their team, Horizen has 50, 50 people working together and joining their skills.

It's the most interesting privacy coin to me, Not only it has an excellent potential for its value but an excellent potential for its technology and its uses IRL, which I think is maybe more important to us

Cryptotexty Talk with Robert Viglione, HORIZEN (ex-ZenCash) Co-Founder and Team Lead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvikFBGriG8

The only reasson I am looking into Horizen as it is now called is because of Grayscale investment into the project, I saw the announcement but I haven't read the scale of investment into it, Grayscale investing into ETC has greatly helped the price and make it a top coin in the space not because of the tech now because for me ETC is still a shadow of Ethereum.

Zencash was a great name. Horizen is such a terrible name.  Baffling decision

A very interesting read about crypto. The overall discussion was concluded to the below 5 points

• ICOs are Currently Dead - in the US
• If You Haven’t Been Subpoenaed by the SEC, You’re Doing Something Wrong
• Wall Street Money is Coming to Crypto
• Crypto is at a Fork in the Road
• Privacy Coins Will Get Attention in 2019

Check out the full article, links below
https://cryptolawinsider.com/digital-currency-group-summit-2018/

Horizen has the properties of all the famous crypto currency.
1. The DNA of Bitcoin
2. Privacy feature of Zcash
3. Smart contract feature of Ethereum
4. DAO & Masternode concept from Dash

What more features you want to determine the potential of a crypto ?
Also do share if I'm missing something.

I don`t think so. On the contrary, the new name shows that new horizons, prospects and opportunities have opened up before the project. It sounds more convincing and grand. Zencash was associated precisely with the coin, a measure of value in the sale, while Horizen shows the scale of not only the coin, but also the project as a whole.

Horizen is now listed on Huobi, one of the world's largest exchanges! This new partnership will help continue to expand the Horizen global presence.
Way to Go

Agree to disagree, I guess. Horizen sounds like a cell phone company :D

Recently I received this T-shirt! Thanks all Horizen team and especially Medar!

You can find T-shirts, tank tops, infant apparel, backpacks, snapback hats, cell phone cases and many others at https://store.horizen.global

If you are interested in HoriZen and want to really know the potential then do read the report released by Greyscale.
https://grayscale.co/insights/

Well this might not be something new for those who are already following ZEN but definitely a good read for people who are exploring good projects with real problem solving abilities.

Yes.
What makes Horizen (previously Zencash) different than another cryptocurrency is the fact Horizen is not only a crypto but a platform with privacy products and a lot of development behind.

In general, I will not argue that ZenCash will have a serious popularity, probably much larger than even the Monero project, which today also shows very good indicators on the market, so I would probably still try to invest more in it

is this an article-advertisment?
if it's true, this is a success one.
but I think the name of this coin is too similar to ZEC.

The anonymity algorithm inherent in Horizen is unique and hasn`t yet been implemented in any other cryptocurrency, which will attract more and more new coin fans. In addition, the recent release on Huobi - one of the largest exchanges - indicates the growing interest of the crypto community to this project. This will cause the effect of the coin price and capitalization increasing.
