Could I ask you to ZIP and send me your log ~/.zero/debug.log to check (my mail is zerodev2@mail.ru). I do not have this disconnect problem...

So log file is sended. Wonder where is my problem. First I thaught that It is more cores than my memory, but even with less cores setup it disconnects..

I wish to ask for help by 2-3 community members who understand code, to review the change and confirm it is OK with them (and write on this forum thread). The security fix is the only change.

On it.

Ubuntu 16.04 build works as advertised. Code changes look very reasonable. Node has been running for six hours.

You should try it too
I say, ship it.

I did not get your mail. Could you send it again or post the log on some shared service (dropbox) and send me a private forum message with the link...

Ok so my node disconnection problem was because it somehow colided with older original zero node. Now everything is just fine and my node is working. So new source is good..

Yep. The ZERO Desktop GUI Wallet  https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui works for me too... much better than a command line.

On the topic of the ZERO network, two things are apparent:

1. There are very few running ZERO nodes
2. Very few of those few ZERO nodes accept incoming connections

In fact my own node constantly has only one peer connected. The only node that (seems to) readily accepts connections is 35.164.216.74 (put up by the ZERO creator). In this condition the ZERO network is not really decentralized and resilient at all...

So let us try to fix this! I have started a ZERO node to the "benefit of the community" - IP 94.176.235.178  It accepts incoming connections. Everyone interested may add it to their config. file ~/.zero/zero.conf:

addnode=94.176.235.178

This node is based on the ZERO code-base at: https://github.com/zerodev2/zero
I would ask all those interested in having a strong ZERO network to either run a node that accepts connections or help me run this one (at least) The node costs approx 0.8 USD per day - at the current rate this is 5 ZER. All ZER contributions I receive to this ZERO address

t1L7TfvTQb9B78sLxH9cfx65aBVKfrFJMBQ

will be used to pay for the node... If enough people help with a few pennies - we can keep it running. This should be just a start - one extra node does not make a network ;-)

Somehow can not send my coins from linux to exchange, t address is not supported in ui wallet.

As already announced by @tearodactyl the ZCash Desktop GUI wallet is now available for the ZERO currency:

https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui

This program provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the ZERO client tools that acts as a wrapper and presents the information in a user-friendly manner. Before installing the Desktop GUI Wallet you need to have ZERO up and running. For security reasons it is recommended to always build the GUI wallet program from GitHub source. The details of how to build it are on the GitHub site (link above). If anyone encounters a bug, please open detailed bug reports (attaching logs and screen-shots) here:
https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui/issues

At the present time this project is non-commercial in nature and developed by volunteers. If you find the GUI Wallet useful, please consider making a donation for its further development. Your contribution matters! The donation address may be found on the GitHub site and in the GUI wallet "About" window.

The GUI wallet supports T addresses. Please PM me with the wallet log and screen-shot of what error occurs.

he has to send mined blocks to a private address first.

So with the help of some users here I was able to send my coins from linux node from the first days of zero. I wish good luck and prosper to zero.

zerodev2, you are DA MAN!
Can you tell us how to check the state on the network, the number of running nodes, please?
And I'll be sure to leave a Zero node up and running as well.

I have no tool to explore the network node numbers. I only tried to analyze how many nodes my node could connect to, and after discovering peers how many of them accepted connections (log shows connect failures). So what I wrote about the network was not 100% certain but it looks that way...

I love this project - now we have 2 devs ! 

[methylminer]

Glad to see development on this coin, whos going to be taking over the slack?

till we find someone with more tec skills and time i can try 

[RedRockMining]

I see on page 1: "faster block verifications 4x"... so what is the target block time?
