I do not know exactly when it is available  but maybe it will be about 2 or 3 months in this year.
you can download this new link  from official zcoin https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/releases

Ok, Thank you for your help. I will do it now.

we are actually finding some blocks on maxminers.
but there is definitely room for a few more people to join in.
that would be good.
who wants to defect?  

Tried things our for a while and it looks like we lost some miners and are not gaining new ones!

Unfortunate that more people will not spread the hash rate.

61+ hours and still no block finds

I will give it another day or two and hope we get lucky!

If things do not change by then might have to switch all miners back to the pool with the most concentrated hash



EDIT:     I spoke too soon, looks like we just found a block!

I want to mine this coin with my GPU but I can not see where the GPU software is for downloading?
so Is this coin supported for mining with GPU or not? Please give me the link. Thank you.

As I know, This coin has not yet supported for GPU mining , it's only supported for CPU mining.
Maybe it will be supported after MTP algo finished but I do not know when ?

Ok. Thank you for fast reply. I will mine Zcash instead while waiting for GPU mining software.

Waiting also for gpu mining

No gpu miner soon .

There have been concerns on hashrate being dominated by CPU only which allows people who use/purchase discounted credits (not always legally) to run large cloud mining operations via AWS and similar.

This is against the spirit of having egalitarian computing which is one of the things that MTP was meant to address. As we only expect MTP development completion in March, the devs are considering doing a parameter change to the Lyra2 algorithm which would allow GPU mining to work alongside CPU mining as a temporary measure to address dumping of coins and unfair domination of hashrate.

We are holding a NON BINDING poll to gauge community sentiment that will be one of the factors we shall consider in our decision. We appreciate your feedback. The poll will be conducted in our Slack zcoinofficial.slack.com in a separate channel #poll. If you need an invite to the Slack, please proceed to our invite page. Please vote responsibly!

Could you also put the link to the slack, not just the invite to people who already are members of that slack, as the url is so weird.

[zcoinofficial]

Thanks have updated it

Please don't confuse the old inactive Slack (zcoin.slack.com) with our current one at https://zcoinofficial.slack.com.

We are pleased to release v0.1.8 of Zcoin which fixes the following issues:

• Wallet loading times improved greatly. First loading time after install/reinstall will still take hours but subsequent loads will take minutes.
• Fixed compile issue for MacOS

Please head to our Releases page to download the updated binaries which are available for Windows and Mac. Linux binary will be released later today. If you wish to compile your own binary, you can do so from the Github.

The reason why the initial load still takes such a long time is due to a full verification to ensure there are no Zerocoin double-spends.

This wallet has been updated and the wallet colour has been changed. I expect this change will bring new power to this coin.
I have just downloaded this wallet and I will try to use it how fast it is? I'm still waiting for MTP algo to be done soon.

[zcoinofficial]

Remember the first load after upgrade will still be slow

I got my custom wallet startup time to 20secs

You seems to be desperate to distribute your binary. God knows what is inside.

One more and I'm forced to give you a negative trust rating for spreading `dubious` execute file without any proof.
