Any unofficial bounty for an unofficial laguage, OC? I can do many

Everybody are waiting for zcash launch 

not all....perhaps DASH, XMR, etc are not so keen

I really want to join this coin . it sounds interesting for me.
I'll follow this thread.

A lot of our customers are excited about Zcash. Its new approach to security and next level of anonymity makes it an exciting currency and everyone is happy that another cryptocurrency with such a high potential is hitting the market. As a result, Genesis Mining will soon be making Zcash available to our miners. We'll let you know when it's live!

Watching this project  good luck.

You can now mine ZCash Testnet on

https://zec.suprnova.cc

You can use the Standalone Miner provided here:

https://github.com/str4d/zcash/tree/standalone-miner

I don't think there's a windows version yet, but it runs fine on linux.

Be aware that this is a a very slow "test-only" cpu miner, so once a public GPU miner will be available, hashing will be much faster.

All my best to Vcash team

I wonder how many people applied to zcash miners bounty. If I developed a stand alone gpu miner I might keep it for myself, but 10k usd from the zcash company also looks appealing. Im pretty sure however there are already gpu miners that we dont know of. ocminer, is there way to compile that linux cpu standalone miner for windows, Id like to see perfomance increase with threads and core hertz.

I'm curious to hear more about how this trusted setup will work.  A trustless zcash would be a great innovation, but from what I've read, I don't know if it's possible.

for newcommers making that standalone miner is hard )

[Taiga]

where is ready miner for windows?

[Cokezero]

Do you need a German translation?

[Taiga]

compiled

I for one will def be watching and investing in this coin. If Genesis Mining is endorsing the project then I firmly believe it will go places.

I am NOT endorsing genesis mining since their contracts only make 1 person money -- THEM.

But if they truly are going to back it and mine it, might create some demand and get the price moving.

Same thing happened with Eth.... just saying

I just hope the gpu miner will be made public opensource, otherwise there will be a massive pre-mine that could last for weeks. 20% over 4 years will be in the original investors hand already, centralizing it even more will destroy the reputation of the coin.

I can think of a few coins destroyed by a closed source gpu miner used at launch. Only one person with the gpu miner could mine the coin, and although each dev denied it was him nobody believed it. Who else could get the gpu miner coded instantly after the first block?

It doesn't need to be the dev, if the source of the coin is open, you can start building your miner from the alpha stage and tweak it on the testnet. I read about one miner already made that is much faster (more than 30x, might be 50x, I don't remember exact solution rate, you can find the thread on the  Zcash forum) than the devs miner but they won't make it public for the 30k$ that the devs offered, they want more, if they will sell it for bidders, it will stay as a closed private miner, practically making the wallet miner useless.

Personally i'm still hoping the dev team is extremely cool and they'll just change the algo 12h before launch to something completely different, rendering all the private gpu miners completely useless

It wont be the first time. I believe you have much experience with similar situations
