[How to Swap your KIN ERC20 tokens to KIN Coins?]

How to Swap your KIN ERC20 tokens to KIN Coins?

• Visit https://coinswitch.co/kin-swap/.
• Enter the amount of ERC20 KIN token that you want to swap to KIN coin and click on the “continue” button.
• Enter your KIN mainnet coin address and the memo, and click on “Exchange” button. (The memo is optional and if your wallet provides a memo then only you should add it.)
• This will show you an address where you need to send your KIN ERC20 tokens.
• Once they receive the KIN ERC20 tokens, they will send the KIN mainnet coins to the address you provided. This is a 1-to-1 basis swap so you will receive the same number of KIN coins what send to us. CoinSwitch won’t charge you any fee for this swap.

After reading this thread I have two questions in my mind:
1. What if the robber hacks and takes off all fund from ATM?
2. Why ATM's when they are so risky?

Trezor Review and Ledger Nano S Review, here are few key takeaways:

Trezor is better in terms of wallet software as it enables the transaction information to be synced with a DropBox account. Plus, you can create an endless number of hidden accounts by password protecting a user’s seed. Don’t worry; it does offer an easily accessible password directory. On the other hand, Ledger’s firmware and integrated wallet software are not that advanced. It does not support shrouded accounts and does not include password administrator functionality. However, the Ledger currently supports more currencies so you should check the list above to make sure your desired coin is covered. And, in case, your wallet has been lost or got corrupt, it can be recovered without connecting the Ledger device to a PC.

Hence, both devices have their own pros and cons. It is really difficult to nominate ‘which is the better device’ – either Trezor or Ledger Nano S. Both are worth their money. So, while making a purchasing decision, you can consider the coins supported by the device, the look, and design of the wallet and the software user interface.

Was reading about TRX and came across a youtube video where it is mentioned that TRX will implement zkSNARKs.

Also, I tried to google the same. The online information i got was it will be implemented by first quarter of 2019. And after implementation the privacy of user will increase.

Does anyone knows any information on this? When is the launch or is it cancelled? Or is a fake news?
