ZEC (ZCash) has it started or not? Release 1.0 is out !!

[megacrypto]

Been trying to find out if the mainnet has started or not, and would think that in a launch of something like this there would be better info on their website (https://z.cash/)?

also their wiki stopped at setting up testnet (with rc4 https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Beta-Guide)?

also trying to figure out what gpu miner (390x on Linux) would work with local node?

It has not startet yet. But in a few hours it will start. "Friday morning San Francisco time (PST)" was posted by the zcash guys...

The dev said he will start it as soon as he wakes up.

It is 7am now bout to make some coffee

actually giagge you are right it seems ... there was just another tweet saying that it will start 9AM PST (thats in about 1:20 hours from now)

no need to rush, the initial reward is basically zero, no point in mining early, after two weeks will be around 6 coin per block...
