Without getting into personal attacks or specifics in the spirit of keep things civil:
There's been a major disagreement between the two co-founders of the coin Poramin Insom (Lead Dev and Co-Founder) and Gary Le (Co-Founder) as to the direction of the coin and as to how funding is being utilised.
Poramin has done 100% of the coding for Zcoin and will continue to maintain Zcoin at the current github at (
https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin). The new website will be at zcoin.finance, the @zcoinofficial twitter at
https://twitter.com/zcoinofficial and the BCT thread and Telegram chat room will remain the same.
Gary has started his own Github of the coin forked from Poramin's version at (
https://github.com/zcoinproject/zcoin) and will retain control of the Twitter @zcoinproject, Reddit and Zcoin.tech domain.
The differences between the two for the moment will be in as to who the founder's reward is distributed to. Further details can be obtained from our slack at
https://zcoinofficial.slack.com and get yourself an invite at
http://invite.zcoin.finance:3000/All coins prior to the fork will be recognized by both Poramin's and Gary's versions of Zcoin so if you maintain both wallets, you will get coins in both. As to who will the exchanges and pools will recognize, that is yet to be seen and we will keep you posted on updates. I understand that Gary's version will contain some modifications as well to his founder's reward from the existing one so exchanges and pools cannot just be stagnant with the current version and will have to make a choice between the two.
If you wish to support Poramin's version of the coin, you can obtain the updated release at

Thank you for your patience in the matter and I will continue to update you guys on any news here! I know it's a frustrating and tough rode but we believe some short term sacrifices are necessary for the long term growth of the coin. Thank you!
Well.... imagine Roger's face. It must be priceless.
