it was a plan to build some secure nodes. is that still in testing or is fully operational?
We are still in testing phase all changes will be announced. |

Zencash doesn't need any people to make weird predictions. It's rock solid on its own. And a lot of people already realized the great tech of Zencash or otherwise it wouldn't be a $50 million coin.
ZenCash team is clear about this, talking about price does not move the project forward, so pumping the price or just getting people to buy to make the price go up is not helpful. Also this thread is not for this purpose.  Join this channel and ask for testnet Zen. |

It's not down at the moment. #cronic the db connectivity issues are solved now and we're back online, clear your browser cache if you still see the "Server down" message. In the next 30 min each region will have to be restarted once, so expect a short interruption. We are in testing phase so this kind of interruptions are normal. |

Tell me,what are the advantages of ZenCash in anonymity compared to Monero ?
For a start it is much cheaper, alternative to ZCash and Monero.  ZenCash allocates 88% of the block reward to miners. The remaining 12% is shared 8.5% for the DAO and core team to fund development, outreach, and partnerships, and 3.5% is reserved for Secure Nodes which are in beta, and going main net very soon. With Secure Nodes, system based on Zero-knowledge encryption - zk-SNARKs will be upgraded to the next level. Our goal is to become most used privacy coin. Trought constant investing and improvents, paid from our tresury, we are on right road to acomplish this. ZenCash is platform for private transactions, messaging and publishing, and we throw accent on this.
Monero and ZenCash are different kind of projects. ZenCash is trying to create a fair system for people all around the world to participate and give equal opportunities. Everyone can participate and even become member of a team. Knowing all this it is very hard to proclaim a winner.. |

Hi, just when was it planned to operate secure nodes?
Secure Nodes are in beta testing, and as soon as everything becomes ready will go mainnet. You can join beta testings if you like. What's the outcome of the major system upgrade? Was it successful?  There is no official statement about this, testings are in a progress. |

7560 ZEN per month is distributed between all node owners per month?
Network through mining produces 216000 ZEN / per month. Division of each PoW block: 3.5% Secure Nodes reward - > 7560 ZEN for this purpos monthly. This calculator will give you exact amount per node http://zen.lebre.net/. Number of total nodes is uncertain, but will rise over time probably. Put numbers between 1000 and 5000 to get a closer picture. VPS costs vary, you can find it for about 5$. If node meet all criteria will be considered eligible for payment-> Secure Node Criteria
Each of the following criteria must be met and maintained for a Secure Node to be eligible to recieve a share of the reward pool.These items may be added to or modified at any time.
Must maintain a balance of at least 42 ZEN in a 'stake' transparent address
Must maintain a minimum balance of .001 ZEN in a private address on the node for challenges
Must be available with minimal exception time for at least 92% of an earning period (appox. 1 day)
Must perform a challenge in under 300 seconds
Allow 8 or more peers by allowing public connections on the configured zen port (default 9033)
Must maintain a valid public SSL cert properly configured for zen
Must not fall behind the current block height by more than 4 blocks
Must update to current versions of the zen and/or tracker software within the posted time frame
Note: only one public Ip address is allowed per node (IPv4 or IPv6).
Nodes who meat all criteria will be algible for payments |

So, in next few days, we can expect Secure nodes to be active. Just to be a sure "Secure Node" is like masternode or something else?
there will not be a new swap, chainsplit or etc..?
Secure nodes are similar, but more secure and reliable than master nodes. All communications between nodes, wallet to nodes and nodes to wallet are encrypted. Running a Secure Node is also profitabil 3.5% of all mined ZEN are redirected to a secure node reward. That results into 7560 ZEN per month. Text below maybe is the best for starters-> ZenCash Secure Nodes Create a Distributed and Reliable CryptoCurrency System

Did anyone got those on Bittrex? I do not have time to investigate this, just curious. At the time of fork October 23rd I had few BTC on Bittrex..

Secure Nodes - Latest update!
Today the Secure Nodes development and operations team is conducting a major system upgrade. The tracking and payments system will be in a scheduled unavailability period starting at approximately noon Eastern time today, and expected to last for 6 hours.
These upgrades address system scaling and security, and will improve downtime, failover, and timeout issues.
These types of issues were expected to manifest at larger node counts, and was one of the drivers to moving testing to mainnet. Because of the large number of testnet nodes, currently over 600, the developers and sysadminds were able to identify and make improvements to the code and configuration before moving to mainnet.
After this upgrade, we will operate for some days on testnet to verify stability. Moving to mainnet is still a priority, and we want to make sure the system can handle thousands of active nodes with a minimum of support issues.
Thanks to everyone for both your participation and patience in this process! Rolf Versluis

I'm just gonna wait for some tutorials on setting up secure nodes...too complicated for me just reading it  Yes video tutorials are the most practical, but in every case you should be on Discord channel if something goes wrong. You will realize that easiest way is to get direct support from people on Discord, who already did this (and every one of them had different issues while setup), and now running nodes. Join Discord #securenodes invite for discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/9kXQFHx |

One Veteran’s Air Force Experience Led Him to Start His Own Cryptocurrency
We’re changing the world one block at a time. For me, this is all about creating a system based on strong cryptography that enables beneficial social change. We’re tearing down walls every day and creating an inclusive economic system in which anyone can participate. On a practical level, we’re creating opportunities for people without many, and that’s something I’m very passionate about expanding. Rob Viglione

Those are all I have found, if you have other links about mining Zen please share. |

I read about VPS again and again, but is it really necessary to run the secure node on a VPS or can I also just run it on my home cumuter?
https://blockoperations.com/how-to-build-and-operate-a-zencash-secure-node/Secure Node Criteria Each of the following criteria must be met and maintained for a Secure Node to be eligible to recieve a share of the reward pool.These items may be added to or modified at any time.

You need to have IP which do not change, and you will get one node per IP. This is why VPS is much better solution. Not to mention you need Virtual machine,good CPU, Ram.. This must be a dedicated machine anyway |

this is the first time see zencash coin , i lost chance to invest in this big altcoin , Is the the signature compaign offer still exists or not ??
No there is no active campaigns currently, maybe in the future. We need all funds we have, concentrated on the nodes and wallets. |
