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

[Vin]

Ok i have a BIG problem with http://zcash.flypool.org

anyone see my address with another ip and im dont change minimum payout is stuck at 0.10 zec .

Any help ? admin http://zcash.flypool.org you read this ? .

Hey mate,
b
etter you ask in a zcash thread or flypool.org thread.

The chance to get a response is higher there.

waiting for solving blocks is endless

suprnova is fixed

What is the best miner to use for CPU? Does a miner exist for Windows or is it only for Linux and do I have to compile the miner myself?

Here you get two windows miner:

https://github.com/felixbrucker/cpuminer-xzc/releases

The miner recompiled by felixbrucker shows H/s instead von Kh/s

Hi all,

2 questions please about ZCoin mining :

1) Is there others optimized miners than the CPUMiner from OCMiner (SuprNova) ? Windows ? Ubuntu ?

2) Is there some project(s) of GPUs Miners ? Windows ? Ubuntu ? AMD ? NVidia ?

Thank you :-)

You can try this one which has slight improvements to it:
https://github.com/Optiminer/cpuminer-xzc

No GPUminers.

I've also spoke to the core devs on this and they confirm that they're working on MTP algorithm.

i recommend everyone to use joblos miner, it contains optiminers avx2 improvements and displays H/s

Thanks for the plug. Just to be clear the optimizations to Lyra2 were mine, first implemented for Lyra2RE and Lyra2REv2.
Optiminer improved it a little for zcoin and I ported his improvements back into cpumier-opt.

It includes AVX and AVX2 unfortunately the zcoin implementation of Lyra2 is extremely memory hard so the bottleneck is
memory bandwith, not the CPU, and the optimizations don't produce a measurable improvement.

E series i7 CPUs with 4 channel memory controller may do better but I have no data to confirm.

There is no GPU miner and never will. The memory bandwith demands of the algo would severely limit its performance,
more than Zcash which uses another memory hard algo. Also the algo has no future, after Zcoin switches to MTP I doubt
anyone else will ever use this version of Lyra2 again.

Hello all. I bought some Zcoin, so I thoght I'd find out a bit more.
Coinmarket cap says 264,000 coins.

How many will there be in total?

Did the devs premine some? (I hope so). Was there an ICO?

Thanks for any help

I wasn't aware of that MTP algorithm ? Do you have a clue about it ? I find that the actual algorithm is very sympatic, that's what make me like ZCoin.

21 million total.

Hope to answer the first question.

ICO, or preminer, I don´t know, sorry.

Thank you for the replies.
So eventually there will be 80 times more coins than we see now. And on that basis the market cap would be around $70M USD.

Priced for success?

But no where near Zcash which traded above 3000 BTC...or $30 Trillion by the same methodology. (or did I do my sums wrong?)

From the blog wrt bounties

As with any organization that keeps individual compensation private, Zcoin is doing the same so that the organization can continue to be productive.

So if they disclosed the bounty amount they would not be productive?? Seems  like a lame excuse.

I hope it is not a forerunner of further lame excuses in the future.

Do we have any information?  Could they have paid out 100,000 coins?  50,000 coins?  10,000 coins?

Maybe they paid themselves a large amount of coins?

Hehe, how many investors mistaken ZCoin and ZCash? -)

How could they? Two different names, two different things. I don't get the confusion between these two projects. That's like confusing Bitcoin and Litecoin, because both end on -coin?   Because both are using the same blockchain mechanism? I don't get it. Zcoin and Zcash are two different technologies built around the same concept.

[traspy]

Zcash dev admitted there is a major bug in wallet. Anon tx require such a lot gb ram.
Crazy!


ZCOIN IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!

[tomsmith26]

I have bought many xzc coins when it is under 0.005btc . it will bring me back big profits after next weeks.
say no with zec. why do we buy zec with very high price although they are the same same technology

[vlight]

Zcoin has larger marketcap than Zcash

The best pool for zcoin , i know only suprnova , but is offline now .

Back online, there was an attack against the stratum

Back online, there was an attack against the stratum

when I startup my AWS instances they use to work fine, now I get this error.

"Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://xzc.suprnova.cc:5595
Illegal instruction (core dumped)"

Do you think it is related to that stratum attack you spoke of or just some corruption on my end?

It's really similar tech, but with very different tradeoffs.

I would be concerned that ZEC completely conceals tx quantity...
To the point were it's impossible to determine how much ZEC actually exists...
Creating a gaping, invisible security hole that instantly makes ZEC the odds-on favorite for "biggest hack in crypto history"...
"This situation... is far more serious than The DAO... ZEC code is several orders of magnitude larger and more complicated".

Get rich quick groups never learn... or, rather, just care about the launch.


Because XZC does not conceal tx quantity, potential exploits and bugs are crypto garden variety...
So until ZEC slides to 0.1 BTC or so... XZC is the only game in town

All the noobs are buying ZEC and all pros are accummulating XZC.

Why?

Do you have some reason?
