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

[cyberspacemonkey]

  Regulators have decided to shut down exchanges on virtual currencies in china,In the future Chinese territory not between the so-called virtual currency and currency trading platform,All exchanges between virtual currencies and cny, will be closed within a period of time      btc38 may not be able to trade in the future         development team should actively contact the Korea exchange such as bithumb, korbit, coinone

Crazy what happen in china.

Yep, and this is just China who knows what the future has in store for people in other countries they'll probably regulate Bitcoin and Altcoins to hell or just outright ban it all.

Does anyone know if there is there a miner available for SM 2.1 nvidia graphics cards (NVS 4200M)? I've searched all over the place and I'm not able to find one that works with my gpu.

I also tried to find one for nvidia but the ones I've tried seem to be outdated and my GPU crashes right away, not sure if Claymore has one that supports lyra2z algo  .

[tjpp]

Has there been documentation about how many coins it will take to run a zNode? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Cheers.

Sorry if this has been covered already - sure it has at some point in the last 242 pages


Mining ZCoin on GeForce GTX 1070s:

What I am curious about is Lyra2z overclock settings for Afterburner. With ccminer, I am averaging 1500kH/s per card when mining ZCoin, but I'm not at all sure what the best overclock settings for this algo are, so any input would be appreciated.

Does this benefit from core/mem overclock? I see my cards do not run very hot at all, so I am also not sure on the power limit or core voltage requirements.

Thanks

You should be able to increase the core clock settings quite a bit to achieve a 10% gain in hash rate, just play around with what is most stable for your card.

Just a quick update.

I'm taking a short break today from my duties as been a bit burnt out. However...here's a dev update:

New core upgrade looks to be be almost done. We wanted to release it a few days ago but encountered some crashes.
We believe that we have isolated the problem and hope to release it in the next 1-2 days. Fingers crossed.

You can see how hard at work we are from the github: https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/commits/core_upgrade and hope to publish new binaries soon.

In other news, we have been looking at some proposals that obscures transactions from where they originate from so even those that don't use TOR will have a greater degree of privacy protection. TOR users benefit as well since it is also unclear whether the transaction came from that TOR IP address as well. Looks promising.

We also have a new dev on board Peter Shugalev who will be working with us full time in assisting us to clean up and double check our code.

We are in discussions with two marketing companies as well and they are in the midst of preparing proposals in increasing awareness of our coin and communicating our message across to a greater audience as we know our communications can be seen as technical. We genuinely believe in our project and believe once people understand the tech, they can appreciate Zcoin much more.

Our recent blog post: https://zcoin.io/zcoins-privacy-technology-compares-competition/ has received immense attention and is recommended reading for anyone who wishes to understand privacy tech a bit better.

Appreciated your work and also slack, communication such a huge difference to other coins.

I finally was able to overclock my Ryzen 1600x to 4.0 Ghz and I'm getting 570 H/s! this is better than that R9 280x GPU I had which I'm using to mine another coin that is more GPU friendly.

so when is going to happen the hard fork?, I just want to transfer my zcoins to my personal wallet before

and why miningpoolhub always shows less hashrate than i have?

2x GTX 970, miner shows 2042 kH/s, pool shows 1491kH/s
Ryzen 1600X, miner shows 450kH/s, pool shows 224kH/s
i5 7300HQ, miner shows 349kH/s, pool shows 93kH/s
GTX 1050, miner shows 495kH/s, pool shows 194kH/s

why?

suprnova reporting pretty accurately 1070 ~1300kH/s 1080ti ~2500kH/s

with these stats not really worth mining at the moment. I believe in this project but bills need to be paid

what are u mining now? i was looking at signatum but its not profitable anymore and zcash consumes a lot.

100% of my GPU-s are Nvidia so i stick to Zcash mostly, reputable a quite stable (well, compared to some others at least). One day a week i mine ZEN and i keep them, might change to Zcoin.
Sigt was very profitable in the beginning, made .8BTC in a week, not any more tho

Im mining Magnatum a sigt fork and i hope the price goes up like sigt did

If you are mining with the hope that the price will go up, i suggest better to buy the coin instead of mining it. You mine a coin for instant profit, you don't mine it to hold. This is my opinion, don't take it personally. Cheers!

btchina will be on September 30 to stop all trading business。btc38 whether to stop the transaction business has no exact message

[Bisha]

So Core 0.13 is right around the corner, probably out by the weekend. That will allow the Znodes implementation! Almost there...
