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

[Gandalf86]

Yeah 0.01 on Cryptopia. Note that we haven't even been added to either Bittrex or Polo yet. Wait for the Chinese on btc38.com. I am reaffirming my promise of selling at 0.1

7200 coins are being produced daily

How does that even work? I thought Zcoin is PoW with an overly high difficulty? How can a fixed amount of coins be produced by that? Please someone call me a noob and explain like I'm 15.

https://xzc.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks here is the link to see the blocks.
only in supernova pool during the last 24 h were found 140 blocks x 50 coins/block=7000 coins from which 1400 coins go streightly to the dev, and supernova doesn' t find all the blocks, the are other pools who find it.
Finaly there are 7200 coins daily.

Ok but why does the number of blocks found stay the same? I thought the difficulty increases exponentially with each block because of some matrix size=constant*height, what happened to that?

[szachta]

Last Block Found   3,891
Time Since Last Block   1 hour 24 minutes 50 seconds  

Something is not right I think.

No pool,no big hash,slowest block found wait until self-regulating algorytm stabilize to current power.

Just bad luck, block just found, nothing to worry about.

i did not find anything using google and the faq, i accidentally minted a zerocoin, does this apart from the transaction fee result in a loss of xzc when converting back after 7 confirmations?

That's the way to obfuscate the originating UTXO!
You sent your coin to the accumulator, made a Zerocoin and once you convert it back to XZC you have a brand new looking, shiny XZC (minus tx fee).
At least that's how I understood the white paper.

You confuse the "difficulty" parameter with the difficulty of producing a share.
The "difficulty" parameter will always adjust itself to support the block target of 10 minutes. So the blockchain ensures to have one block in 10 minutes in average. Thats the purpose of the 'difficulty', all coins/chains based on Bitcoin are designed like that, as far as I know.

Producing a single share with this algo becomes increasingly difficult (better to tell - 'hard', not to use the word 'difficult' and so confuse it with 'difficulty' parameter).
But thats irrelevant, as it will not affect the block production rate. Just the visible hashrate will become smaller, but that is not really important.

this has the be wrong or this guy has a gpu miner ?


1      barrystyle   69   2,330.427 

his hashrate is 2,330 khs that's like four times as high as the next closest

Botnet or many AWS instances.

2,330 is not the hashrate. His hashrate is 69 KHs, which is not that big compared to what you can see on Suprnova. He is a 'whale' only by xzc.pool.mn standards

its working exactly like this, thanks

just "spent" the matured zerocoin and have 1 xzc as unconfirmed incoming

Why all the 'anonymous' huge miners are mining on Suprnova...? 

Share some hash to pool.mn at least! OC is the man, but it is not good to concentrate all the hash on a single pool.

Because pool.mn is so bad. I was the biggest miner on pool.mn for 5 days but it doesn't get better and pool owner doesn't respond.
ocminer is always active so the choice is obvious.

The OP needs updating, it only shows Zcoin is on Novaexchange and Cryptopia, but it's also on Liqui, Trade Satoshi, and CoinExchange. Those are smaller exchanges but it's still worth putting them in the OP to let people know they can buy zerocoins there.

That is the problem with CPU coins. They've been dominated by botnets since like Monero.

It's funny when developers think they're 'thinking about the small miners' when they make a CPU coin, but they're really just throwing coins at botnets.

Not clear that devs don't have gpu miner or fpga miner...

What?

If they wanted to make this a coin that's mineable by GPUs they would've just made it lyra2v2 instead of the weird version of Lyra they have going on right now, which is all just getting funneled into botnets.
