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

[zcoinofficial]

Thanks to everyone who attended our third Zcoin Community Meeting today!

For those who missed it, catch the replay at https://youtu.be/MLnF2YmhcTA

Henry Quan of ePIC Blockchain discussed ASIC-resistance and its impact on a coin's economy, while Kristy-Leigh Minehan who is a co-creator of ProgPOW shared her opinion on how GPU mining is still fairer than FPGA/ASICs.

We also discussed block rewards after the September halving and Diego Salazar from the Monero community shared his experience on how the Monero Crowdfunding System worked for them.

Great news! PolisNodes now accepts Zcoin as a currency payment! Zcoin can also be used with the POLIS Debit Card as a real currency anywhere in the world.

2020 will be the year cryptocurrencies will become more and more mainstream!

Any link and feed back if you use these services (node hosting and/or card) ?

Edit :
The link : https://platform.polisnodes.io/home
Masternode hosting pricing : not very clear, but if the $2.99 price is real for hosting an external ZCoin masternode (not a masternode buying in polisnodes), that is a good price.

Hi,

Some feedback about the polisnodes masternodes services hosting, for ZNode here.
The website is realy very light and there is very few informations about the service.
I made a try and it stop at the masternode creation when I got the message "Not enough balance on your PolisNodes account. Please go to the Balance Page and add some POLIS to your account."
Then, you have to buy some POLIS crypto to pay the masternode hosting... and this before you can try the service. With allnodes, you have 2 days free to try the service and after, you can pay with some major cryptos (unfornately, not ZCoin for the moment), card of Paypal, not only with a specific "shitcoin" (I don't know if POLIS is a shitcoin, but it is sure it is a very little coin, with a very uncertain future).

For the moment, my try with polinodes stop here :-).

Thanks to everyone who attended our fourth Zcoin Community Meeting!

If you missed it, catch up here.

We’re looking at different options to further decentralise the funding of Zcoin development and to take steps to move away from a pure block reward.

An option that came up at the last community meeting and in the Zcoin Adoption Working Group  https://t.me/zcoinawp was to use https://opencollective.com/zcoin

Open Collective is pretty cool in the fact that we can set up tiers for paying members, creating rewards for each tier.

I’m busy setting up some tiers and would like some feedback from everyone.

Any ideas of what rewards we could offer? Any feedback of what we've currently setup?
