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

[dave_bbp]

Chainlocks activated on Firo. Why is it needed and how does it work?

Read about it more here: https://firo.org/2021/01/28/chainlocks-activated-mainnet.html

Nice work. I'm really late to the game and (unfortunately) discovered FIRO just 2 weeks ago by chance. Now I'm trying to mine some with 1 GPU (*cough*).

In the explanation link you provided, you state that

"we are proud to be the second project to implement it [Dash's chainlocks]"

I think Biblepay has implemented them for months now, if I'm not mistaken, so maybe you're not the only ones to do so.

Keep up the good work!

  It's not a 51% attack.
This is minus 51% of the coin's total network hashrate.
The new block chain starts block 338403 and ends block 338719.

Block Difficulty 338403 - 1107.1905512079
Block Difficulty 338719 - 956.86986116269

The difficulty of the latter must be higher.

[Deff]

Beware of this update "Suspicious activity has been detected at XZC (FIRO) blockchain. 51% attack is possible. Payouts are stopped until the network stabilizes. The amount of block confirmations has been increased to 1000 new blocks."

As per 2Miners website GMT +8 2pm

  2Miners removed this and similar warning for another coin. There is something to think about.

Hi, is this coin mineable on 3GB or 4GB cards these days? And using which miner (for the best speed)? Thanks!

There's a FIRO guide on mining in the OP and here's the link for that: https://firo.org/guide/how-to-mine-firo.html.

That guide doesn't say anything about minimum VRAM, which I think is a pretty gross omission.

Anyway, 3 or 4 GB cards won't work. The MTP scratchpad itself needs 4 GB and then you needs some for the rest of the program, so the total is about 4.5 GB. If you can find a 5 GB card that should work. 6 GB is plenty.

I recommend the official https://github.com/firoorg/ccminer as it is open source with no hidden fees. I haven't found a closed miner whose speed increase is worth the fee (and the risk of running untrusted software).

(and the risk of running untrusted software).

Which is 0% if you run it on the rig. 
If run on your PC, then I agree 100%

Don't have 1000 FIRO for a masternode yet want to earn rewards and participate in DeFi? Don't forget we have an Ethereum wrapped version of FIRO called stFIRO on Uniswap with almost 1 mil USD in liquidity! https://st.firo.org or you can also grab it from https://changenow.io/!

stFIRO automatically earns masternode rewards every day and can always be unwrapped to native FIRO on Stakehound https://onboarding.stakehound.com/#/register

Anonymity loves company. Just after a month of activation, we are rapidly approaching a total of 500,000 FIRO that has gone through our Lelantus privacy tech. Keep your funds anonymized with Lelantus! $FIRO

shortly before the 51% attack I sent 25 firo with lelantus. (from private balance)
Since then I have those 25 firos in pending state. I already abandoned the original transaction. The address I sent them to doesnt have them.
Is there anything I can do?

Thanks

I still can't believe you sent our ZCoin to history and renamed it to FIRO. The name, new logo, idea.... terrible. Unexplainable move!! Honestly, I am 33% sad, 33% disappointed and 34% angry. I'm still waiting for some pump vs BTC, to exit and never buy again, but it seems I will die by natural cause before that pump.

[crypto_trader#43xzEXrP]

I see here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/firo/
ZCoin (FIRO) price was been $170
When total available supply of Tether (USDT) was been something about 1,800,000,000 USDT:
Why it's so cheap now? Or it can be sold somewhere else, in another place?
