Catching up now, So Zcoin rebranded to Firo. I've been under a rock.

Good old times when we mined ZCoin using Lyra2Z algo, very power-friendly at that time.

The reason behind the rebrand is to avoid confusion between zcash.

We have a video explaining behind the rebrand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W433zQ61YEM
