ZCOIN could easely reach 0.1
The best altcoin out.
Just imagine bittrex and poloniex add....

Hi

In terms of price it will definitely go up if poloniex or bittrex gets added, also with the related zcash launch on 28 october the zcoin price should shoot up as well. Not sure if it will hit 0.1 btc but it will go up fairly soon.

I think it should hit bittrex soon, as the devs just need to update and fix their zcoin wallet. The Bittrex slack mentioned that they are waiting on the dev to fix issues with the wallet before they reconsider adding it.

Anyway patience is needed in trading, it is best to accumulate and buy now while the price is relatively low BEFORE it gets added to the major exchanges.

Cheers

Agree +100.
But wallet is already fixed or not? I thought yes.

I think it is still an issue, but i know the zcoin devs are working on it so hopefully it should get fixed soon and submitted to bittrex.

How soon? Can we get a dev here to tell us a bit about the  timeframes?

Care to explain this, how zcash launch affects zcoin price?

small question regarding the wallet: every time i start it it keeps "reindexing blocks" starting from block 0 till current block, this process takes quite some time. i have not seen this in other wallets from different coins, is this true for everybody, or is it just me (tried with windows and linux)? seems rather odd to have to wait for every block ever created to be processed each time the wallet is started.

same here..

Wallet seems to be stuck on block 2625 here.

Very frustrating.

I encountered no problem so far when i compiled mine.

use dev branch.
git clone -b dev https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin.git

There are some blocks that i got stuck with, block  720 i think but after that it syncs completely.

actually i dont think its stuck, there are some points where the level db much likely has to increase in size and these are the points its stuck.

however this reindexing should only occur on broken blocks not sure why this is happening here

The devs warned us not to compile from the dev branch. I guess we just have to wait....

[felixbrucker]

i just found it here: https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/wiki/Known-Issues

will still test dev branch and see if its really fixed already

Me know fuck all about compiling.

Me has only the qt wallet.

Me noob @ all this coding shit

What sort of warning he gave? This build does not reindex but i do notice when it fetches new block and scryptminer initiates, shows the hashmeter, then after that shows zero hash when you call gethashespersec. I do wonder if the cpuminer can be pointed to the wallet? any ideas felix?

Cpu-pool how long does it take to get confirmed amount?

[tokyopotato]

Is there any news on possible listing of zcoin on bittrex? volume on nova is big enough compared to other coins listed there. I have a hunch it will be this week..

Who knows.  The database re-indexing issue is problematic, as well as reports of tx getting "stuck" or just taking an inordinate amount of time to get into a block.  Also apparently zcoin will be hardforking again to new hashing algo possibly due to GPU miners already overtaking hashrate w/ private mining software.  Looking forward to seeing where Zcoin goes, but a little more transparency into where and who these founders rewards go to would be nice.  I'm happy for all the miners who have made a good profit on Zcoin, but it just seems like Zcoin was ninja launched with some major bugs.

Cpu-pool how long does it take to get confirmed amount?

it would take at least 100 confirmations before coinbase is mature to spend by pool ~ 16.7 hours https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/blob/master/src/main.h#L64

I think you can withdraw after 120 confs on cpu pool

Wallet is still synching. It's been like half a fucking day now.

it's good signal

Zcash and zcoin share many similarities, just some technical features are different and they each have advantages and disadvantages. Check out the following for a comparison:

http://blog.zcoin.tech/zcoin-and-zcash/

Now the issue with the wallet database re indexing each time it starts is known by the devs, and they are working on it. I have not seen from the zcoin devs a timescale on when it will be fixed, but hopefully soon.

I have also heard that both Zcash and Zcoin have received funding from Roger Ver and other investors so they each are also linked in this way as well as both focusing on promoting privacy.

Maybe someone can email the devs to find out the status of the wallet fix?

Resistance has become support.  Looks like the floor is in.  Strap in.
