Zcoin is an amazing cryptocurrency.
Wrapped my head about zerocoins, but still problems to understand.
With 2 coins in my wallet I’ve got 1.99 after minting and spending 1 coin. How do I know with coin has a “history” and which one hasn’t?
Pivx marks zcoins with “z” and allows to send them separately.

Hello, yesterday there was an attack on MINING POOL HUB, and for many hours did not mining Zcoin and I saw some strange things about the hash-rate and the difficulty of Zcoin. In fact, the pool went to zero as hashrate while on https://explorer.zcoin.io/was it a 145 gb/s hasrate like never (minin pool hub has almost 100% of zcoin hasshrate)? moreover the difficulty did not come down even though they were mined blocks every hour ... I believe that the calculation of the hashrate of Zcoin does not work well and therefore also the difficulty ... I saw that too, maybe they cheated, they can do what they want with the coin with >90% of the total hashrate. More people should switch to other pools but no one actually does zcoin devs are long overdue with the algo change but as long as they get their reward portion from every block they don't seem to care I think you are aware of the difficulties faced with the initial version of MTP. The new paper of MTPv1.2 is now finalized and will be published by the authors shortly. Lyra2z was MEANT to be a transition algorithm. When do you expect to transition out of lyra2z? |

As we speak, the botnet hashrate seems to be higher than even the total MPH hashrate. They could potentially take over the network, right? Is anything being done to resolve this issue?

The same as nicehash or miningrig rentals but basically you control a botnet and mine xmr or uhm zcoin xzc ... Simular coins appeal also so it isn't a surprise , could even be a good thing. This update is awesome https://twitter.com/zcoinofficial/status/952978796252024832 So much potential here going unnoticed under radar. Keep up the good work zcoin devs. |

change the algo... This has been a problem for quite some time and I agree an algo change is way overdue. What algo would you suggest to keep things more balanced? From a power usage aspect CryptoNight seems reasonable to me, but that has its own botnet issues. |

Do they want to change the algorithm? I like lira2z. Its energy consumption. The card's are cold. When will there be an algorithm change? |

I should've held my coins and made a node, instead of taking a fairly decent profit......then I watched the price go higher. and higher. |

The price of the XZC coin is going through a roller coaster ride, but I still have it.

I have a problem with the zcoin wallet. I have Zcoin Core version v0.13.4.3-f773393-unk (64-bit). It has stopped syncing the blockchain even though it has connections to peers. It says not block source available. How can I fix this?

It's nice to see your post about the Znode reward. I think this project is quite interesting and outstanding when it starts at the first stage and until now I still continue to hold it as a future savings . I will not sell this coin if it doesn't reach at least the price of 300$ . Do not throw away a potential coin to another investors at this time. |
