[ANN] Firo (FIRO) - Implementing ZKP privacy without trusted setup

[alexvilis]

Zcoin Project on Privacy



Zcoin is a privacy-centric cryptocurrency based on the Zerocoin protocol, developed by Johns Hopkins University cryptographer Matthew D. Green, Ian Miers, Christina Garman and Aviel D. Rubin Being privacy-centric, Zcoin has a number of features that help to enhance or protect one’s privacy as they perform transactions, including: strong, tested encryption; having an auditable supply; a larger anonymity set; and zero knowledge proofs. https://medium.com/altcoin-magazine/zcoin-project-on-privacy-ebf044406f96

Anyone notice that f2pool has over 200GH/s that's over half the hash power? XZC is an easy target of double spending attack.

A preview of upcoming new wallet interface when doing a private Zerocoin transaction. This is first iteration and will continue to be improved in subsequent versions.

Any news about mtp?

[jyakulis]

Any news about mtp?

I think they said in chat that potentially released in September with the fork taking place like a month after the announcement.

I think they said in chat that potentially released in September with the fork it is active like a month after the announcement.

This is great news, specially now that it seems like the crypto market may have recovered a little bit.

If you drop by our Discord https://discordapp.com/invite/4FjnQ2q you can actually already start mining on MTP on our MTP testnet.

Looks to be stable.

We welcome people to give it a go!

Windows:
https://bitbucket.org/zcoinofficial/zcoin/downloads/zcoin-qt-mtptestnetonly.exe
Run with testnet flag
zcoin-qt-mtptestnetonly.exe -testnet
Go to command line and type setgenerate true x (where x is the number of cores u want to use. Take note, each thread takes 4 gigs of RAM so make sure to allocate the appropriate number).

Linux:
Build from https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/tree/refactor-mtp

Is it possible to mine with mtp on testnet with gpu and not cpu only?
Many thank’s

I bought some zcoin primarily for Huobi listing pump, but I finally decided to hodl.
I am thinking about  start a masternode - how many coins is needed for XZC MN?

1000 as usual.

I think the timing is perfect for mtp because I also think the altcoin market is improving. If bitcoin momentum is sustained, we might be looking at  October/November for mtp when hopefully we will be already in a bull market.

Do you think that after MTP launch , other alt-coins gonna consider forking to MTP algo too? to bring GPU mining back to life and fight ASICs?

Yeap djm34 is working on modifying his MTP miner for this. Note that your GPU has to have more than 4 gb of RAM to run it.

I was going to ask that, it actually would've been nice if MTP was CPU mining only. How much more advantage do GPUs get with MPT compared to CPUs?

New exchange coingamex.com accepts XZC, in case you are interested.

XZC/BTC and XZC/ETH markets

I believe that many deployed electronic money without the knowledge of knowledge are a blessing to society. Like Zcoin, Zcash also allow individual freedom and open world trade by increasing financial privacy, it is important to understand the balance between protocols inherent Zerocoin and Zerocash.

I wonder how much the difficulty is going to change after MTP is implemented, we'll find out how much of the network is made up of bots.
