Is this no bounty sosmed? Whether just for signature campaign
Locking of previous thread was best explained by moderator, we cannot go deeper into this, there is no point. We have this thread now and this is it, old one won't be unlocked. ZenCash is more than one thread or few web destinations.. To MedaR's point... BCT has and is serving its purpose for the time being... a launchpad and initial repository for new info, for new participants to get that info. Any other activity in these threads was out of scope and the mods handled it. There really are no secret details, it is black and white. New thread accomplishes the same goal as before, and really no one should be lurking here thinking you will catch every single announcement or detail. There are a half dozen non BCT links listed in the THREE OPs for this coin (ok lol I know but at least Google now has THREE BCT results to cache for ZEN right?) and keeping up with the slack, blog and twitter will give you more up to date info. |

Tranz, have you looked at the HUSH and ZEN wallets? They forked from ZCASH in some way and are java based, clean and quick to sync with minimal connections. HUSH also joined SuperNET DEX.
ZEN is implementing NODE incentive where 3.5% of every block mined is paid to the node operators. Just requires static IP and creating a certificate for your node, but I think that is more for ZEN's encrypted transactions than the node itself.
POS is nice but it doesn't encourage keeping wallets online except when they are ready to stake. Node incentive makes for a good sized pool of wallets online at all times in order to reap incentive payments as block creation continues.
HBN with the following would become a defacto coin to be held and used for a long time:
1. 90 second POS blocktime to reduce resource overhead
2. Removal of PoW as a block creation method to stabilize the blockchain and reduce orphans
3. Change in coin production per block to accommodate the change in block times, plus possible node incentives
4. Change in code base from a QT based client to the newer Java swing wallets will lower resource usage and encourage more users to be online, and possibly run incentive nodes
5. Possibly look at adding the SuperNET DEX to the core... join SuperNET and we would no longer need to worry about any exchange hosting HBN for trading
All of those are challenging and time consuming and I (we) in no way expect you to do any of that Tranz, though you have already made such good progress on 1 and 2 above. But the possibilities there are awesome!

Now for some dumb questions.
What is the difference between making a "backup" of my Swing wallet and Exporting my private keys? Do I need to do both to backup my wallet? I would assume I should store these on a USB in a safe place.
In the swing wallet on Windows, go to Own Addresses tab at the top, see your wallet in the area below? Right click and click Obtain Private Key... That is the Private Key, privkey or AKA the only thing you need to own the accompanying Public Key AKA pubkey and then a shorter address shown to you in the UI of your wallet, which is what you give others as your wallet address. The difference is backing up the wallet.dat is just a file backup quickly readable by the core client. Those privkeys you export are the real ticket... if you EVER lose your data and comp or w/e... as long as you have those privkeys, you will always be able to open a new wallet on a new machine, and import them. Once it syncs the transactions into the new wallet.dat file (automatic as part of the import privkey process) your funds will be available again for you to send and receive to that address. Put your privkey on paper in safe places where they wont be lost and encrypt the original wallet.dat to a USB or even CD/DVD. REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD!!!!! Thanks much for the detailed info. That all makes sense. I guess my only concern is if my pc were to be compromised in some way, is there any way to put a pw of some sort on the Swing Wallet itself? I would assume as of now if someone were able to remotely access my pc they could just open my Swing Wallet and send my coin to an address of their choosing. Maybe I am just paranoid.. Not paranoid, those are good questions. Caring about your crypto security is paramount because you are your own bank here. For now it appears the encrypt wallet feature is not activated in the wallet itself. It was suggested you use another encryption software to lock up the wallet.dat file. You will have to decrypt it manually then start the wallet software to use it. Then close it and encrypt it again manually. Soon it will be embedded. |

Spent a good 30 minutes attempting to connect to other nodes for the required resync and could only get 1. Please add an optional line, to paste the original and now backed up peers.dat file to the new ZEN folder. Instantly got 7 connections and it sped along nicely. |

The previous thread lock seems questionable but alas this is the "host" so, their house.
GL with this thread lol!
Not that I am anywhere near qualified enough to code such a thing... but wouldn't the node requirements and the entire network benefit from a more flexible set of parameters that helped match coin totals and actual process power to those coin allocations?
Follow me here... all the 42 coin node requirement does is allow for a SPAM net of nodes with the MOST MINIMAL resources available to hook in and completely flood it with barely on par performance. I do not know the entire ins and outs of the node proposal... but it would seem to me if it is any nodes chance at any time to calc and submit encrypted transactions, then mostly the high I/O nodes will win out every time, so very quickly all your SPAM net nodes can't profit and die. Now that leaves more expensive hardware based nodes, which likely also means they are being run by those with means to supply enough ZEN to create their own army of high I/O nodes. That creates an environment where your everyday community member can't compete and you end up with a small set of nodes to prop up your growing network. Even if you kept a running order of which node gets to calc the next set of encrypted transactions... that is additional P2P overhead required to do so and still allows a small subset to own node income. It just seems counterproductive to the desired end goal.
Maybe I have no fucking clue what I am saying, but I had an idea to share and if it has merit, please run with it.
Nodes should have SEVERAL coin value thresholds. These thresholds should also be pinned to some sort of benchmark for the encryption of transactions by nodes which will score that nodes I/O throughput . Set ranges for the benchmark scores and allow a HIGHER coin amount on those higher tiered I/O nodes to give them higher priority in the processing order, but only give them the priority of the actual coin amount held. Couple that with a check to see what that node last did over 24 hours or X blocks before allowing it to do so again.
This would add a POS weight type design to this, giving all nodes equal chance I believe... tracking only their last known weight or w/e the measurement would be.
Example:
NODE 1 has say, 500 points on the benchmark which only allows it to participate at level 1, 42 coins minimum and no further coins will give it weight.
NODE 2 has say, 1000 points on the benchmark which allows it to participate at level 2, 42 coins minimum and 84 coins max and it has twice the weight potential but no further weight for more coins.
NODE 3 has say, 10000 points which allows it to participate at level 5, 42 coins minimum and 210 coins maximum allowing it to have five times a level 1 nodes weight potential.
In my mind this performs two very important things:
1. Less BS tiny nodes with par performance fighting and causing a huge, possibly laggy network of tracked nodes to accomplish the network goals.
2. Invites REAL hardware backed players to build quality nodes instead of quantity, fostering a positive environment that offers those who want to invest, a safe and scalable way to do so within a node.
While I know more nodes sounds better... that was for old coin algo design. I do not see a flood of cheap nodes benefiting this project in the long run. So give some bigger hardware players room to scale while guaranteeing the smaller players can still earn.
It is a delicate balance so I will not pretend any of what you are doing is easy. The above is just one of those AHA moments I thought worth sharing.

No this poor CPU was solid at 60-62% and it's been synced for hours now with a blank wallet.
If this is still the case I would like a full copy of the debug.log file. Especially if you can run it in -debug mode for a while. I have never experienced a blank wallet pegging a CPU for so long, unless it is catching up or the block chain is getting spammed. Otherwise is should idle between 1-5%. No problem I shut the wallet down in that state so the ed of the log should catch it. I'll restart it again tomorrow in -debug and see if it replicates or if it was transient network activity or not send you that one too. ooops buggered up the quotes Take into account your little netbook prob has a tiny 5400 rpm sata HDD on a board with minimal RAM available (are you hitting page file?) and that has a huge impact on the performance of this fast blocktime coin. FWIW I do understand your point... a POS coin should be able to run on a 2GB+ RAM dual core netbook no questions asked. Tranz is working his Jedi powers to make it so... give it time there really is only room for this coin to gain value. |

hi,
is there any particular reason that you are all moving from suprnova pool? fees? or any other think beside fees and pool more then 51% hasrate?
I am mining there for two weeks and everthink looks ok.
Which wallet do you use? at suprnova i just collect hush and leave it on account. i still did not trensfer it to criptopia, becouse i am waiting to be listed on bitrex, but if i will find windows wallet, i will move it there ofcourse. i did not see that is alredy made.
As i see you all suggest mining speed for hush. Which wallet do you use there? i do not have any wallet yet, only one in criptopia, but they say that it is not good to use that wallet for mining.
Any help would be very welcome.
thks
No one is running from suprnova... miners pool hop and calc to change coins all the time. Some ppl leave because they do not really know the pool op, or trust that they won't take advantage of 51%+ hashrate on their pool. so they read the FUD here and jump. Doesn't matter... if all pools are equal (and they aren't) then you earn the same everywhere minus fees etc. That doesn't seem to be true here, and suprnova has been the best earning pool I have tried so far. I will repeat this again... for the community... IF YOU WANT A POOL TO MOVE TO, THEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO MATCH SUPRNOVA's SUCCESS AND COMMITMENT SO THERE IS A REAL REASON TO MOVE, NOT JUST FEAR OF 51%!!!!! Stop the FUD, and mine where you want... everyone wants to mine where they will earn the most... but they complain about stability, lead times for coin payouts etc. YOU CAN HAVE BOTH AT SUPRNOVA... you just have to understand, his pools have volume and he can't stop it from hitting 51% unless he throws up a SECOND POOL. Someone else should be striving to match his success, not tearing him down for it. /rant |

Stacking HUSH. These Equihash coins!

If one had 84 coins and wanted to setup 2 nodes, I'm thinking you could: - Set up software on a cloud server as per the secure node setup guide
- Clone the first instance that was created
- Send 42 Zen to each node
Is that about right? at 7.2 a month would that cover the cost of electricity, hardware maintenance, the cost of the PC to setup as a master node? Seems like mining has more incentives then building a master node A VPS can do this. |

Hello,
I'm going to create a mining rig for 8 1080 Ti video cards.
Do you have any suggestion on wich HW to use to build it (motherboard, ram, CPU etc).
Some have suggested to me to use pimp os to run it.
The second request, Wich is the difference between Nvidia 1080 ti FE e Asus rog 1080 ti.
Thank you in advance for the answer.
P.S. for those concerned about the electricity power I'm the UK and I'm paying 0.12 $/KWh
You are asking in the wrong place. With that said, there are few boards that run 8 PCIe cards, the MSI boards Bitworks has used needs an M.2 to PCIe riser to get 8 cards. Most opt for pricey server boards with 8 to 16 or even more PCIe slots. Biostar dropped a teaser of their 8X PCIe 1X board for mining... no price or date yet. OS is your call... Win 10 will run 8 GPUs but that's it. Linux for anything larger and you likely want that for this rig anyways. ethOS is very nice. Something you may not have considered... The TI FE cards will clock up to pull 250-300 watts if you OC and give them power headroom. 8X 250 = 2Kws and can be troublesome to power in a normal residential dwelling. My 2Kw 6X AMD R9 390 rig flipped breakers until I moved it to hosting with clean 20A 120V. The TI FEs come OC,d with single reference fans. The other non FE TIs come with vendor created cooling and may not be clocked as high. Some can be clocked close and will OC higher than the FEs. |

Also...
BTC > Coinbase > PayPal > Blizzard App > Games and Services.
Your service is really adding steps and possible trust issues.
I do not think he has got any trust issues, people forget to look at the green trust of any account quite often while the red ones are easily noticeable due to different wavelengths. Op is basically looking for premium users who buy games to enjoy full services without any hurdles. I don't want to type a novel... it is a ToS breach... Blizzard tracks who gets codes from whom... trust me they bug accounts to the tinniest detail if they need to. Risk your Blizz account if you want... method I posted works 100% legit. |

In my economiy all is balanced, so if there is one gainer, there is one who has to loose. Indead a basic income leads to inflation, and the persons who have the most fiat stakes are the loosers, independant of where they hide their money in this world. This is one goal of a basic income.
The 2 dollars is only a first target, my suggestions always can start at Null. This low amount is choosen a way, that really poor people could pay a school for their child, instead letting them work.
Everything is balanced, everything has to add up to zero at the end of the day, but the art, the kung fu, is in looking at as many variables as possible. It isn't just money but a lot of other things involved. Money, fiat, crypto is not the top of the pyramid, it is one of many things and if you only try to solve the money side then you are going to cause the opposite of a solution in some other side. I solve nothing! With the exception of my own small world. I never said this type of basic income could be the only one! A lot of people in cryptoworld are claiming this indead. In my opinion there never can be one solution alone, in this case it must fail. I'm watching for your "solution", if it is egocentric it will collapse, and natur will become rich again. All is balanced! Expanse dev has a BUI token in dev... Lucrii Tokens. My understanding is if you declare yourself on the world ID network they have also built, Lucrii Tokens mint for you every month. |

Can anyone tell me what are the requirements to win zencash with a node? How many coins do you have to deposit and what configuration do you have to make?
How many coins are earned per day through the operation of a zencash node?
Prerequisites for node is one node per machine, because they will be very demanding towards computing power which is needed for providing full protections of privacy. This is good because won't happen that one person can hold for example 1000nodes..Like we had chance to see in some other projects.. 3.5% of alocated funds will be for nodes. It is very hard to tell how much this is per day, because sometime your nodes won't get work (won't be involved), also how many of them are online etc.. Demanding in computing power in what way? Is the goal to be able to run off a VPS or will the secure nodes eventually need to be on a dedicated server? Very interested in setting one up once I mine enough, hopefully it stays at 42 to start as I am new to ZenCash. Needs minimum quad core for the encryption calculations... other minimum requirements are listed in the Linux ZEN node guide posted. 3.5% of alocated funds will be for nodes if there are more than 1000 nodes running online , they will get a little pay They calculated 1000 nodes would mint ~7.5 ZEN per month for each node. It is not much and 1000+ nodes do start to thin it out... but early nodes can earn some coin. |

ZenCash is one of the few projects which is managed in a professional manner.
It's current evaluation doesn't in any way translate the true potential of the coin.
Rob Viglione and Rolf Versluis, have a tremendous work ethic, and if you've been paying close attention , all the right steps are being taken.
A+ and as a PM myself, yes, I like everything I see from these guys so far. The message and progress are better each time they make a big news update, and the project plan is clear and concise. There is a ton to do, and hiring pros for each niche is what gets it all done. |

In the ETH Facebook group somebody asked for the most undervalued coins. Somebody wrote the ZenCash as an answer, and the others said "Nah it's obviously scam coin". So what do you think guys ? It's really scam ?
Actually ZCL is scam, scammy ZCL dev turned off replay protection after launch and extorted money from ZEN team, now they kicked him off, so don't worry. That's one way of seeing thing (probably the only way see it zen fans). Other is that main dev of ZEN, took of, because of corporate affiliation within ZEN team, with new recruit members come straight from corporate marketing, and more and more corporationism... And ZCL is the only way to still have open community, without corporation bs. And the other way to see it is BOTH happened and neither the way described here. Yes a dev with no allegiance whatsoever pulled a fast one but earned NOTHING from it, and the issue was fixed. He got fired/quit and cried that ZCL was where he needed to be blah blah. It was very transparent. Yes, that dev probably didn't agree with other parties being added to this project, but to claim corporate affiliation because some professionals were hired? That is a stretch... this isn't ZEC... no corporate monstrosity owns ZEN... this isn;t ZCL... real people are being hired with real funds being produced in real time by participation in the network, driving people to work on ZEN instead of volunteer and hope for donations or require someone to buy the project up to fund the project tasks. There is a ton of potential here. Doubled holdings just now too! |

If I'm wrong I'm sorry but I though hobo nickels were died ? Didn't they almost die out at some stage this year ? I never saw this thread come up. Only now I have seen it. It sounds like it will probably be a good investment.
Never dead. The network has been running great for 4 years now! Never dead... only chugging away as designed! 78MH/s lol... while not huge, that is still power behind the coin.
