[ZEC] ZCASH - All coins are created equal. Discussion Thread (Unofficial)

[hashnest]

Hello guys. Hashnest here!

Just this morning, ZEC peaked at 80.42 USD. And analysts predict a price upsurge of 180-200 USD by year end and around 300 USD by 2020 year end.

Do you all have faith in ZEC that it will double up its value by end of this year?

ZEC was 0.015 BTC at near all time low few months ago, then fallen to 0.0135 where I did get in. Now is 0.009 BTC and there's absolutely not a single reason to be happy or talk about some "peaks". Personally, I'm waiting for 0.0135 if possible, to get out and never get in again.

No Idea if and WHen Pos will be released? It could be a good enhancement for the community

There is not going to be any change in concensus of ZCASH. It'll remain proof-of-work. What are you talking about?

Zec devs are mentioning Pos as an option since years especially to reduce Asics miners. It could be fair to look into this and explore chances and benefits as well.

ZEC on PoS algorithm? I really don't think that it has ever been considered.

Any reference? AFAIK Zooko has been a critic of PoS for a long time.

Does ZCASH have better anonymity than Monero? Can I keep ZCASH on hardware wallets, like Trezor or Ledger?

ZCash has the functionalities of both, transparent and private addresses. The transparent addresses work publicly, while the private addresses work as good as Monero.

Yes I store ZEC on Ledger Nano S device.

I used to read that using Z-addresses can cause problems.

Don't use Z addresses until and unless you really want to keep your balance private. Z-addresses are fairly difficult to handle.

The fact ZEC can be transparent or not, is a good signal for any future regulation.

Therein lies the problem, having both T and Z addresses:

(a) complex and error-prone
(b) kills privacy because people don't use stealth addresses

Not only that, these jokers forced you to move all your coins to T for sapling...
Long story short... ZEC has zero privacy = chainanalysis will expose everything...
ycash does not address any of this... sell into pump.

I am sure that in the future it will be free from all that will be a very great altcoin, currently there are not many coins like ZEC and this will be more solid for a long time.

Completely agree with you. ZEC coin is going to have a great future and its coming very soon. Those people who does not invest now, losing opportunity to make a solid profit!

...still waiting 0.0135 BTC to get out break even and never come back again.

ZEC is probably the worst designed coin I've ever seen...
Even with a 20% tax they didn't have a proper client until recently...
Even a simple tx creates change accounts so you end up with a mess of dust...
It so much suck that my losses are very limited due to the massive sucking 

ZEC is gonna get wiped out by dead simple 100% shielded coins like ARRR...
Or when zk-snarks gets rolled out on top of ETH and other platforms.

We are in a good trend Mate 📈.  The break shall be taken within a week! "my feel"

[farsky]

Does anyone use zecpaperwallet v0.3 for generate zcash shielded addresses offline ?
I think this is a handy thing))

P.S. Someone please explain me what problems can be when using t-addresses
