Is it hardfork with upgrades or a split and we will have new coin balance credited?
Anyway is good to see some action in Zcoin matter

Good luck with hardfork

Zcoin Gives ASICs the Boot with Merkle Tree Proofs

In a direct challenge to the type of industrial-grade efforts that have transformed once-lone cryptocurrency miners into multi-billion-dollar oligarchies, Zcoin has held itself up as the first cryptocurrency to “democratize” mining using Merkle Tree Proofs, a PoW algorithm for ASIC-resistance.

All the best wishes for Zcoin after the fork.
I wish that the team can keep the project moving forwards much faster and showing its bigger potential after the coming fork finished.
The project, in fact, need to have new wave of capital in order to have bigger momentum for its movements (its price on exchanges).
New wave of investors and their money will in turn lead to higher demands, which might cause positive impacts on exchanges orders.

Where can we get info on what MTP is,aisde the fact that it will take more GB on the HDD?
Edit, found on the FAQ:

The MTP (Merkle Tree Proof) algorithm was devised by Alex Biryukov and Dmitry Khovratovich from the University of Luxembourg in their paper published on the 11 June 2016 titled Egalitarian Computing. These are the same researchers who came up with Equihash that is currently used in ZCash and the Argon2 key derivation function.

MTP promotes fair and democratic mining by making ASIC development expensive. The key element of this approach is large (in size) and intensive (in bandwidth) use of RAM. RAM is expensive in both FPGA and ASIC and slow on GPU. Previous attempts in large and memory intensive proof of works were problematic. This is because to verify these memory intensive proof of works, the nodes had to also have that memory and spend a relatively long time calculating it. This made the network susceptible to transaction DoS attacks where nodes are constantly occupied in verifying transactions.

MTP’s advancement means that hard memory intensive proof of works can be verified quickly with low resources. MTP was designed to be able to require miners to utilize large amounts of RAM up to potentially 10 gb while remaining fast to verify! This can potentially revolutionize PoW mining by bringing it closer to the original vision of Satoshi where one CPU = one vote and democratizing mining instead of keeping it within a handful of powerful miners while maintaining a resilient and low resource network of nodes.

Is it 10 Gb of system ram or GPU ram?
Will that works with 3 GBytes (gtx 1060)?
