I'm one of the Zclassic devs and I just wanted to say that the difference between Zclassic and Zcash is pretty major.
In many areas Zclassic has been leading the way in terms of usability and implementation... We funded work for the first Windows wallet and we also released the first open-source mining pool software. There's much more to come on the roadmap too.
Interesting. Do you guys have plans to direct the development of ZCL in a different direction than what ZCash plans in any way? This is very interesting because I wonder in what ways these two coins could grow. Could we see one coin get features like lightning network (which BTC will probably never do) making it compete with Dash quick pay, could it manage private sending to the same anonymity level that XMR acclaims (I do not know how the security works and if or if not Z is as anonymous)
Also what about branding? In the long run assuming ZCash were to die, would you keep the ZClassic name? I find these forks with classic in the name is just going to bring confusion to new people if it gets wide adoption. A later quote here is ironic
Both coins are far from ideal. Zcash with with its early distribution system is a joke.
With their slow start and mining tax devs wanted to do something to favor investors and prevent advantage of early adopters at the same time.
But they failed to realize it will make Zcash less interesting for everyone else. And ZCL is just a copy and like all clone coins it might go down very quickly.
ZCL is actually older than zcash so zcash copyed it, also the protocol from my understanding is better than zcash which rely on a centralization, i think zcoin will be a better coin when they will get rid of the botnet with the new algorith
ZCL is older than ZEC? I have noticed that the ZCL chain is longer or has more circulation at the moment but how did this happen? How did ZCL come before ZEC, did it have another name but the ZEC people copied it and than ZCL just copied back?
If you want to compare ZEC/ZCL compared it with BYTECOIN and MONERO
One is a scam the second a fork and see which one wins now ?
I thought XMR was an original startup on the CryptoNight code that came out as a superior coin to BCN, and of course that BCN is a major premine scam. I never knew it was a fork. I would also beg to say that making its own name instead of something like Bytecoin Classic or Bytecoin something was the best long term idea for branding
