[ANN] ZERO - fork of Zcash with harder mining params

[AKRO]

For all those looking for slack invite, pm me with your email address

yjc0926@naver.com

thank you!

you can private message it dude. wouldn't want to end up in a wave of spam

[Guido]

quite impressed with dev
coin has most of work needed, like how is improved version of zcash without all the jpmorgan crap and without premine

seems we have a lot of miners which is good, but community needs to come together and help with social media, marketing, designs etc

I have done a logo, as ZERO needs a personality
I like to think of ZERO as like zero degrees, , cold, stealth, under the radar private transactions
a proper non-premine community coin away from all this centralised ripple shit and ico crap we're seeing
old school with the best tech

hope you like it
will work on the text logo for ZERO too

if you all like, the dev can replace icon at github, as original temporary one was pretty nasty 

our logo also takes some inspiration from zcash logo but different as it is a relation to zcash, albeit a better relation 
also the white to reflect the cold element and away from zcash
the gold to represent value

in time, once dev does a full working windows wallet, fully tested
I will develop a website, doesn't seem much point at minute
I have procured a good domain
we can then do social media etc

please contribute help in any way your skillsets allow

again if everyone happy with it, we can finally inform cryptopia we have an icon they can use!

Nice work Guido, I like the logo and was interested to read your thoughts on ZERO.

Yes it looks good and community can come together and do something for ZERO.

I like the Logo but, I can't help but associate it mentally with "not another Zcash fork".
I propose a "slashed zero" character. I could be wrong in thinking it's unique or free from copyright.
Sort of like this ø But a 0 instead of an o. or maybe even use ø.
This may cause problems though with coding, though I'm talking theoretically, it should be fine.

[magaura]

this coin is really undervalued.. and need more attention.. I'm accumulating this.. I think the price is really good

Lucky that there is not so much attention to it, so we can buy more at low rates. Each coin one has is the one others dont have.

dev said in ANN thread

Names and symbols:
Currency name: ZERO
not ZERO cash, not ZERO coin, just ZERO or ZERO currency or ZERO cryptocurrency
Currency unit: ZER
Currency symbol: Ƶ
Unicode: U+01B5

so wanted to respect his wishes but also he actually went to trouble of using unicode so had to be based loosely on that
the 0 symbol with line through would denote a value of 0 ie zero so wanted to avoid that idea
plus one of first posters on thread said sarcastically 0 sats worth

this is what dev is currently using and submitted hopefully our new one is a lot better
https://github.com/zerocurrency/zero/commit/61ff404f8f6150360cbfd14325431a62046f3c62
not criticizing dev as he cant be great at everything! and he's a very good coder which is what we need

I wouldn't be able to help build a brand and site around that with that colour scheme, we would stay low marketcap coin forever, however good the coding

we are a fork of zcash so a loosely associated logo is helpful and imo is a very nice one also denoting value, memorable and strong on branding

there is a twitter account that attacks zcash all time and they used the zcash logo and zooko was saying quite reasonably that's ok but don't use logo as copyrighted etc, even though they are technically decentralised and opensource

but our logo is totally different and z with line other way and different colour, white, different gold style and no thick black outer ring

will be eyecatching and memorable
plus I will work on the text logo for ZERO
have some ideas hopefully people will like
I have submitted logo to cryptopia as is hurting zero not even having logo for gui wallet, block explorer site, future website, git  and exchange

people think maybe abandoned coin or with no dev not having logo on exchange

cryptopia were great and I pointed them to thread and post and said they will add

I will listen to feedback on text logo as maybe not everyone loves or want changes so will do in next few days to a week when have time
as a site cant be built without
plus will help people when posting on social media doing memes, ads etc, when promoting

These are good points, I'm not opposed to the Ƶ Logo, it has more benefits than drawbacks, I just figured maybe something entirely different could be a possible option. But you are right, while the number 0 is good in the concept of privacy (Im assuming this is the idea behind the names ZeroCash and ZeroCoin) it does bring up negative sentiments associated with nothingness, emptiness, vacancy etc.

this coin is really undervalued.. and need more attention.. I'm accumulating this.. I think the price is really good

You are not alone.

[matejbilahora]

Well if someone is able to create similar logo to this

It can be used, I know that I have it in my informations, but original coin is using different logo.

[Guido]

we have our logo installed now at cryptopia and I think looks really smart
be nice to hear devs input and his other devs,

Simple website and bittrex and this coin will fly...

That is what I say already some days. Even a simple website. Bittrex will be great for ZERO.

at the minute this thread and git is all thats needed , linux and mining people are in this thread
newcomers and traders want a windows wallet and pointless doing a website imo without this
once dev posts here and acknowledges and delivers I will deliver

in time, once dev does a full working windows wallet, fully tested
I will develop a website, doesn't seem much point at minute
I have procured a good domain
we can then do social media etc

The logo is familiar, if the letter Z is replaced B, maybe it is a bitcoin symbol, so little entertainment do not get tense

Sound fair enough for me.
Looking forward to future of this project.

I can't do graphics but the coin image should be a cold blue aged/antique silver with frost at edges. The "Z" should have ice formation or be made of ice with true depth. If possible, the coin image should be a concave relief with an aged/antique silver blue background with a raised "Z" and be as 3D as possible. Coin image quality should be similar to Panda or Lana just because it would fit the whole Zero idea.

Norse Gods aged coin look with cold blue depth, frost, raised Z, ice....

I personally like best the image I added and we are currently using at cryptopia, but we can always change if community vote or provide something else, and we await what dev thinks

tbh I think general public still getting head around crypto and helps imo to look like a coin
I don't think they will ever 'get' ethereum for example and what it is and how to use

It's why privacy coins like zero are all things to all men imo or a coin that is simple and easy to use like Fastcoin that is amazingly quick, it needs to  be a crypto, blockchain options  and have a specialist function
plus be opensource, community coin, fair release, no premine etc
again why I like both these coins, grassroots coins I like to think of them

anyway here is something completely different was working on, before, may give someone else some ideas, and others who can knock up some designs

That is great, interesting and catchy
