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

[Tarz]

And again, it boils down to that the funding is approved only for purposes which committee members appraise as valuable. Other purposes are not to be funded. The system does not solve the problem with average people wanting to make buck off any opportunity they see etc. create a fake proposal and have it funded. U should approve all proposals and give money to people struggling to come around after falling by the wayside. Be magnanimous.

I still can't believe you sent our ZCoin to history and renamed it to FIRO. The name, new logo, idea.... terrible. Unexplainable move!! Honestly, I am 33% sad, 33% disappointed and 34% angry. I'm still waiting for some pump vs BTC, to exit and never buy again, but it seems I will die by natural cause before that pump.

Whats worse is lelantus per se is an old protocol to obfuscate moving of funds but FIRO says lelatus is an in-house frill carved out of pure innovation equipped with everything u need to get the best of privacy tech it utilizes under its shell. Lelantus is terrible at everything it is purported to do. Lelantus can not give u asymptotic encryption of the UTXO.

Lelantus Sparks ring signatures for additional privacy are favored by binance cross-border payment solution called binance pay allowing lelantus not just to stop lapsing in dust behind other tit shakers of the crypto patio, but even amp up the pace of technological progress going on in the lands and grounds in which lelantus is rooted as a cane with bold savory inflorescence.

Firo v0.14.9.4 released

This patches a bug concerning ProRegTx transactions.
Mandatory upgrade for all node operators to ensure network stability.

Please update before block 446,040. Updating after this block will require you to reindex.

If you are trying to update from 0.14.9.2 to 0.14.9.3 now, you'll need to reindex. This release fixes that, but you must update before the block number.

Please backup your wallet prior to updating for safety.
