Artdealer, you may want to consider visiting the aicoin slack channel. You will likely get a faster response on there.

You are absolutely correct that holding BTC directly would have given you much larger Absolute Return over that time period, but you also assumed the full risk. Just before that timeframe you could have seen the value drop that same percentage.

The reason aicoin is so attractive is the AI's ability to side step these risks. While straight return is certainly key, consider also the Sharpe ratio and the Max drowdown. It is certainly too early to have enough data for a solid Sharpe, but this early analysis is unbelievable once you wrap your mind around the concept. These numbers are what ended up getting me excited. That and watching how productive the aicoin team is. Have a look at this article that explains the risk basis very well.

I also agree. I really don't like slack due to all the fraud.  A forum is much better as the content is searchable and people can more easily find answers to past questions. Forums are also much more inviting for lurkers and base users. Something like Discourse (https://www.discourse.org/) type forum hosted directly on www.aicoin.io would be ideal, IMO

Hey guys. Just wanted to bump this for a slack invite.

When I try the slackpass link (https://slackpass.io/aicoin), I get the error message:

I will try sending slackpass support an email, but in the meantime, could somebody send a slack invite?

Thanks

I am having trouble joining the slack. When I try the slackpass link found elsewhere in this thread I get an error when joining. Could you send me a slack invite link?

Zencash setup a new forum. There is not a lot of content yet, but should be more searchable than the slack going forward. Please post your issues there in the support section and I am sure somebody will help you out.

No idea what the ZCL team plans are, but answers will be coming for ZEN. Most of the communication happens in the slack, so despite how many questions there appear to be over here in this thread, work on this issue is quite active.

Besides the ZEN core team and other contributors, IOHK is currently looking into the ZEN code with a primary focus of "...making sure everyone's Zen is safe and that the code is in a stable state"

A couple of the people from IOHK that are assigned specifically to looking into this are Prof. Roman Oliynykov, PhD https://iohk.io/team/roman-oliynykov/ and Dmytro Kaidalov, PhD https://iohk.io/team/dmytro-kaidalov/ of the Veritas Team. As an example, they wrote the dash treasury report https://iohk.io/research/papers/#NSJ554WR

I am very excited to see everyone that is taking a real interest in the ZEN code and becoming involved. More information will be coming soon. Although I hate when people say it, patience is a virtue right now. Greatness is happening and I have been quite impressed. I am looking forward to some of the possible future plans for ZEN and its partnerships!

In the meantime, if you have coins on ZEN from prior to block #110000 (ZCL coins that you held before the ZEN snapshot was created, the 1:1 ZCL:ZEN coins), the recommendation is to not create new TX's from those accounts (for now). Although trading is still active, this is why ZCL and ZEN withdraws/deposits have been suspended on Bittrex. It is to protect you (and the exchange) from any possible replay losses.

If you have any coins that were mined or otherwise transferred to you in addresses created after block #110000, I am not aware of any issues. To be clear though, I am not fully aware of the potential issues if you control address with balances on both chains. The slack seems to be the best source of updates: https://zencash.slack.com

Currently the secure nodes are under development and is expected to be 42 zen required

It seems people keep asking about the trusted setup and current development in this thread...

Classic uses the exact same trusted setup as Zcash. So you can trust Zclassic as much as Zcash in that regards. (in the OP)

Windows wallet is in the works. There is a lot to do. Right now the main focus is keeping up to date with Zcash and keeping the network running smooth. There are unique projects in the works, but it is all a matter of time and as more developers come on board.

Remember that this project is only a week old. The reason I became interested in it is because of how stable the price is and how motivated the community is for only being around a few days.

The next update is taking a little longer as there are a number of changes happening. So far the next version is running fine for me. We need more people willing to review and test so feel free to contribute if you like!

Thats great news, coinexchange.io!

A windows wallet is in the works as we speak. There is a bunch of active development happening right now, but a lot needs to be done so a windows wallet is in the queue along with other exciting things.

jk_14 it looks like you are using the zcash chain with your wallet. Verify that you are using Zclassic. Your tx was in block 4770, so once your sync'd to at least that block you will see your TX

Here is a list from earlier in the thread. I have not verified

From OP:

I think you will like it. The site works great and there is a motivated community growing there.

I was assuming that it had to do with new pools coming online. pool.NM was one of the first of only a couple options. Now with more available the user base is being spread out. Seems like the user base dropped some when Supernova came online...of course, these are just my assumptions and not based on any facts.

Should seriously consider changing the name to Zickle. It would disisociate as a zcash clone... and because it is just so much more fun to say!
