[ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Unbounded By Design

[MedaR]

With the new logo and working secure nodes, are there any plans to do a bounty type campaign? Wouldn't necessarily have to be like the typical signature campaigns (although that would be great).

We will consider this in near future, i'm glad to see that there is interest for this kind of promotions. I also believe that signature campaigns are very effective.
We have active twitter campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2715851 and still open.

Could be something a little more creative like winning zencash for creating a video tutorial for setting up a secure node for example.

We already have video how to create Secure Node..But this idea can be expanded. Also everyone can make proposal, and become qualified for funding of project.

Hello guys, i think that because of the price fluctuation in BTC / ETH there are many miners / persons interested in mining of ZenCash (ZEN) this is going to popular day by day and growing much faster, I am also planning to boost my PC / hardware to mine this coin instead of wasting my time with other crypto currencies.

You are welcome in our community, miners are essential for success of every POW coin! ZenCash is still unrecognized by whider masses, but it is just matter of time. Still plenty of space for growth!

Old late question I know but is anyone running their node out of virtualbox?

Docker would be better
There are offical docker images (https://github.com/WhenLamboMoon/docker-zen-node) for sec nodes its easier to get set up.
But if you wanted to just build yourself virtualbox is no different than using a vps,
but you will need to open ports in your router firewall to get it to work optimally.

Is there any info about "how to" setup Secure Node? Some of the links in OP has not been working.
Also is it right calculation about earnings and ROI "Estimated ZEN Earnings (Zen/Node/Day) 0.0380"?

friend in my opinion it is because of the fluctuation of BTC rates and i think many of us mining other procedure like ZENCASH that is going much famous and faster in people day by day. many of us thinking about upgradation of their pc and start mining these methods. after the fluctuation in BTC price I also thinking about switching to these methods of mining.

I heard that the updated whitepaper is coming out in a few days. What are the main changes going to involve in the updated whitepaper?

[z0n0]

ZenCash is now listed on OKEx and is available for trading with BTC, ETH, and USDT on the OKEx platform. OKEx supports 20 million customers in over 100 countries and is one of the top digital asset exchanges by trading volume. Adding new exchanges is a focus area for us, and we are proud to start 2018 with great news!
Radical Usability is our BIG focus, and we're developing strategies to keep Zen at the forefront of decentralization, radical usability, privacy, and transparency.

Our first step is through product standardization. We're focusing on implementing an enhanced user experience by bringing in UX/UI experts and tackling user interfaces. You'll see this soon in our next set of flagship products.
CODE FRAMEWORK
A powerhouse developer team is doing major work mapping out our system architecture, reworking the code framework, and doing some rigorous process improvement on the backend.

    Conducting a Secure Node architecture review to implement improvements in the next version.
    Refactoring our wallets and working on flagship wallets with consistent brand/user interface.
    Beta testing our Proposal System - our first step for a DAO user interface! Our new Proposal System will provide a more elegant way for community members to submit proposals. Our team will use the Proposal System to send proposals to the community, who in turn will vote, comment, and decide.

ZENHELP (in development)

We're creating our very own organic service desk system to improve your experience! We're taking the lead in the industry by creating a professionalized customer support system that will help with reocurring issues and questions. ZenHelp will:

    Monitor social media channels 24/7.
    Provide a ticketing system to team members, and support staff in a timely manner.
    Perform analysis on tickets, so we can continue to improve across our products.
    WikiPage (knowledge base) so people can quickly reference recurring issues which will in turn feed to developers, so our users have a zen experience.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

The product team continuously improves our wallets. Below are some updates:

    Private keys from the Swing wallet now seamlessly import into the Arizen wallet.
    Arizen is now available in 5 languages and regularly adding more.
    Swing cosmetic fixes and installation guide recently released.

SECURE NODE PAYMENTS

Exciting news! Secure Node payments are now up to date and payments are scheduled for weekly intervals. We paid out over 9,000 ZEN over 230,000 payments...a BIG milestone. With over 6,000 nodes on the network, we're moving quickly towards being one of the strongest and most decentralizing node architecture in the industry.

Community feedback was helpful to get our system to where it is today. Additional improvements are on the way with our next secure node system release.
Our 12 ZenCash representatives have so many exciting updates it's hard to fit them into one email! Event sponsorships, meetups, writing blogs in multiple languages, integrating with new merchants, building relationships with large exchanges, speaking with strategic partners, translating our website and white paper, and building their teams...just to name a few things they're tackling. Our reps are doing a fantastic job growing the ZenCash presence globally. You can learn about everything they're accomplishing on our biweekly community call. 
COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS

The three community members below stood out for their steady commitment to ZenCash and important contributions to our community.
