Already finnished part 2 of this tutorial. Where can I find part 3? I want to skip part 2.5 and setup a node directly on mainnet  Changing ZenCash Secure Node Beta to Mainnet Nov 30 The ZenCash Secure Node development and operations team is moving the Beta testing from testnet to mainnet on November 30th. This will be done on the existing server clusters, which were designed to move from testnet beta to mainnet beta, mainnet beta with payments, then mainnet production. This is a deliberate process that is being done to plan. The current servers will be put into maintenance at about 16:00 UTC. There is a migration plan already in progress, with many steps and checks along the way. The server reconfiguration, testing, and operational upgrade work is expected to take 12 hours. Wait,  instructions will be posted. |

Just wanted to ask, is the secure node run-able on Window OS?
And is there guide for it?
Thanks
It is very unlikely that someone will use Windows as his stronghold for Secure Node, we all know that Windows is not recognized as secure system. If I find an tutorial I will publish it here. |

Why haven't you mentioned the MyZenWallet ( https://myzenwallet.io/ and https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/myzenwallet)?I found it to be really useful, having an ability to generate keys from pass phrase, supporting import and export and doing all sort of things that I want by default in other wallets. My respects to Kendrick Tan, so far, for my purposes your wallet is the best! Every wallet is unique and for different users with diffrent needs. Team will continue with work on different wallets in order to increase positive user experience. Soon will main web destination be updated same as this announcing thread on Bitcointalk, when we get new logo. *Arizen wallet DEV will add it to todo list, so it could be implemented in next version, to dump private keys.. Thanks for understanding. |

IMPORTANT UPDATE
Changing ZenCash Secure Node Beta to Mainnet Nov 30
The ZenCash Secure Node development and operations team is moving the Beta testing from testnet to mainnet on November 30th.
This will be done on the existing server clusters, which were designed to move from testnet beta to mainnet beta, mainnet beta with payments, then mainnet production. This is a deliberate process that is being done to plan.
The current servers will be put into maintenance at about 16:00 UTC. There is a migration plan already in progress, with many steps and checks along the way. The server reconfiguration, testing, and operational upgrade work is expected to take 12 hours.

Arizen wallet
Private keys are encrypted in .awd wallet file.
-> .uawd (unecrypted arizen wallet database) is unecrypted and you can export it from Arizen menu - it isnt in plain text but in binary format.
Write code in any language which load binary file and display it in plain text, or some text editor that allow you open / load binary files.
People asked for encrypted wallet. We will see if in newer version this can be simplified.
So you are protected by having a private key for your Arizen wallet and no one else can get this key from the wallet? It is an open source wallet also? You can hold 42 ZenCash in it while running a private node? Thanks,  What is and can do Arizen wallet You can download Arizen wallet from Release section from Github right now You can create multiple separate accounts
Password protected locally stored accounts All data are encrypted (any of other wallets does not have this) and stored only on your HDD Detailed info about address and transaction history You can import / export wallet to encrypted .awd / decrypted .uawd Arizen's file
Desktop notifications when balance has been changed Arizen automatically downloads updates instead of you Windows + MacOS + Linux installation files https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/arizenYes you can steak 42 Zen in it while running a private node. |

If I wanted to run two secure nodes, would I be able to run them on two different AWS instances (and would I still get paid for both)?
When they have different IPs and each have own OSs then yes. |

Today I tried to import the private key generated in Arizen to the Swing. And I haven't succeeded in doing so. There is no button in the interface of Arizen to export the private key. So I used the 3rd party software to read the arizen wallet-sqlite information. However, keys that are in it doesn't look like having a same format as private keys of Swing, they appear as strings in HEX.
Why so complicated?
We urgently need a wallet encryption in Swing.
And we also need a private key export in Arizen.
These are not big deals (in terms of new lines of code) for your programmers! All the necessary libraries (like encryption libraries for wallet protection) are already there.

A corresponding issue #1552 has been opened by the ZCash developers. Correspondingly wallet encryption has been temporarily disabled in the ZENCash Desktop GUI Wallet. |

There will be 2 weeks of testing in mainnet without payment to ensure the system is stable, test payments on mainnet won't be done because that may be too complicated to track. ZenCash core capabilities are being developed. As any software development project, there are technical issues. We are planning a campaign when payments are turned on. The reason we are waiting to do this campaign until the technical issues are worked out because the team is experienced and Murphy is always around the corner.
ZenCash is ramping up Marketing. Every major delivery will have an associated campaign. Wait and see the secure nodes campaign!

Zencash is still relatively new, maybe they are waiting for more development before making a large marketing push.
Correct conclusion Guys why didnt u annouce securenodes on twitter facebook etc.. thats a major update ?
zencash as coin, also devs, support here are great but marketing is very poor  I told it earlier and nothing changed... few days to secure nodes and no PR, no articles on popular blogs, no social campaign, no reviews, no comparison, no youtube campaign etc.... As i understand zencash has partner for marketing but they do not know how to make marketing or they do not work (even worse)... i saw 300 likes on their fb page, really poor result for marketing agency. I think you need make some changes because zencash only will win if marketing will be strong. Without veery active and smart marketing even the best technology will fail and will be forgotten. It will be much better results if you give average freelancer $5k-10k to make huge marketing boomb on the market. Well, nodes are going mainet but we cannot say that this is D day, when they become fully operational marketing team will gave their best. So far they did good job promoting ZenCash, take a look at previous post for example. But you are right , some changes will be made very soon. If you like you can post your opinions here-> https://forum.zensystem.io/t/ideas-bucket/810 |

Yeah, by now securenodes work fine on testnet. It's good news, then ZenCash will have actual secure nodes in the near future, right? When is the time it will be launched? Thanks.
We are waiting for Secure Nodes to go online (mainnet) announced for November 30th. You can get all details from our latest video update -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvZ1PWakWCA |

Also, I wish the securenodes on mainnet had not coincided with the BTC near $10K psychological ceiling. Many folks will be hesitant to invest while most are expecting a retrace back to $5K levels. Would the team not consider this as an external factor to delay securenode go-live?
We have no interest for such actions, this would be unprofessional. |

For all enthusiasts who would like to share their opinion with us how system should and can be improved can do this here https://forum.zensystem.io/t/ideas-bucket/810. All ideas are welcomed and some may be lead toward proposal and finally fundings. |
