How to Use Trezor With Zcoin: https://zcoin.io/how-to-use-trezor-with-zcoin/

"We’re happy that Zcoin has finally been integrated with Trezor, probably the world’s most widely-used hardware wallet. While the current firmware fully supports Zcoin, Trezor has announced that we will only “be gradually surfacing in Trezor Wallet” and that coins “can be accessed via third-party applications like Electrum”. In this tutorial we will be showing you two ways to use Trezor with Zcoin; one using the Trezor Wallet and the other using our version of Electrum, Electrum-XZC."

YES!!! Thank you Zcoin and Trezor.  

Really awesome, I' happy that my "old" Trezor One is supported too and not only the new T model, I already had the fear that the old model will not get new things anymore.

Thanks for sharing this.
It answers on a lot of common questions, I loved it.
Interesting project so far.

[zcoinofficial]

I've been following this project from the very beginning and I'm very glad that XZC became a full-fledged project, but not only a copy of Zcash. But I missed a little moment. Remember when the project team split at the very beginning and one of the developers left the project in not cery good way? What did it all end there? Thanks for answers. (XZC is 20% of my portfolio, I really love this coin   )

Thanks for your continued interest and support in the project!

There's a detailed summary here:

The FPGA farm that gets ultra-lucky seems to have destroyed the mining scene, I'm mining something else and autotradin to Zcoin until MTP.

Would this change at all with the MTP implementation?  I really hope so otherwise it's pointless to mine.

Sadly nobody get back to me, but my question also refers to MTP. What's the schedule for the final implementation?

Pretty sure that once MTP is out the situation will improve. We're hammering out some bugs on testnet in relation to block propagation but mining and verification is working on both CPU and Nvidia GPU. Will keep you posted. We're aiming at a release in mid/late September but of course depending on testnet results.

For some reason, something tells me that XZC will shine first than ZEC! Could anyone in the community confirm? Anyway, it's interesting these things that people underestimate and always choose the most famous! I'll be looking to get some coins by the end of this month!

You could be right, I'm also hoping that once MTP's mainnet is launched that can help decentralize mining better as well.

How to mine with Nvidia GPU ?

+1,

Few days ago it was down to 0.0022 BTC, very cheap price to pay for this coin, it can easily go back up-to ~40 USD, I think it's better investment then most other coins right now, I am happy to hear your thoughts.

[Businesscase]

Thank you for important information, will check it out. As I can see Zcoin is already listed in 17 exchanges, it’s amazing. Best of luck to Zcoin.

[cjl1984]

Respected team.It also makes me believe that ZCoin is very promising.In my opinion, it is as strong as itaifang. Maybe ZCoin is such a similar fate. I will buy it.
