Cool so it was worth more than just me listening to myself talk

-- I did ask about files I kept for a reason. After removing old .conf and .pem from appdata directore sync has started.  Which leads to my next question - can it affect wallet communication with my secure node?
Old .conf file:
rpcuser=XXXXX
rpcpassword=XXXXXXXXX
rpcport=8231
addnode=zen.suprnova.cc
addnode=zpool.blockoperations.com
addnode=zen.bitfire.one
addnode=zenmine.pro
addnode=minez.zone

Your Secure Node needs only your T address and 42 coins must be in this address (as stake). This is wallet on your pc right ? And it is not directly connected to your node.
If the secure node is on the same machine where the GUI wallet is running, then there may be conflicts between the GUI and the secure node.  

Yeah, classic setup - Unix VPS and local wallet on my Windows PC. I've set up the node quite a while ago and couldn't remember if I need to add anything to local .conf file. All clear, thanks.
PS But syncing takes ages... 15 hours now and still at 12th Jan.

Your wallet and secure node are on different machines, deleting those files only affects Swing wallet.
Normally it takes on the order of 6-12 hours for full 100% sync. on a PC with relatively good CPU/HDD/network connection.

With all recent events, it is likely that ZenCash has aimed at Asian continent and dozens of countries as its target market, including China, Singapore, Japan, India, and so on.
Furthermore, the project has got so many positive feedbacks, and peer-reviews from different people globally.
Well done, Medaar.

Thanks for your support, this is community project, all ideas and advices are welcome.

Zenpub looks really great... it should be also +$$$ for secure nodes owners because now profits from nodes aren't even funny.

ps. my next "motivation and few ideas to the team" ...  

still will be the same problem like from beginning... all these changes, upgrades, new great ideas etc are worth only when zencash will be popular. Still no marketing (effective) so price = low, no marketing on very popular pages, profiles (you need places where are hundrets of thousands or millions of people and advertise there - buy paid ads, "news" etc), why no still SEO - search for example best privacy coin - top 5 links even no zencash word... why not advertise on popular places where somebody has authority (for example millionairer mentor on ig etc).... there are much more to do but i wrote it few times earlier. You made secure nodes but market, price almost don't move because of it for zencash.... now will be the same with zenpub if still you will not be smart and use effective marketing (I apologise for words but still your makrketing it is a joke if you want to be popular and interesting coin/platform).  Marketing based on conferences and sometimes on not popular (with no authority and traffic) social profiles (twitter campaign etc) = almost no makreting. See your twitter campaign - i clicked randomly on 3 twitter account where people advertise zencash... one of them not exist, rest are even not funny - 2k people for twitter account with no authority,no traffic and you want from such "moves" make zencash more popular? It is joke... You really need somebody in your team who have knowlege where to advertise, where to buy seo marketing (many companies are crap, you need very good seo company to reach many keywords in google and also in youtube... you need to learn even how to send links with keywords to make something for Your brand. popularity on such pages like youtube).... There are so many places where are traffic and where are people. If you have no knowlege, no experience - ask people here or by pm (i also can help and suggest many places or companies which are really the best) - many will help.

Good luck!

This current price has nothing to do with marketing(Bitcoin volatility strikes, Fud, stories about regulations..), we are active more than ever and finally we started delivering products.
There are 8000+ nodes online, support service is in beta, and if you followed so far we are expecting meny other good news. Soon we will update white paper with some major changes..
We are working on SEO but this is slow proces and takes time to show effects. Ads are very expensive and they are good for ICO projects because they can spend enormus money on marketing. In our case we have limited fundings and we must be very racional.
Did you ever made a proposals? This is best way for joing this project?

I really enjoyed listening to Rob.

My digest why I ll increase my position in ZEN:

1. Secure Nodes (42 ZENs) block reward will be increased to 5% from nowdays 3,5%
2. Introducing NEW Super Nodes, which will require 500 ZENs and will have as well 5% from block reward - new info about this upgrade will be released next week

Both secure and super nodes are technical more advanced then DASH masternodes system

3. Nearly real time transaction time, upgrade blockchain developing together with IOHK - https://iohk.io/ - the world leaders in blockchain development
5. NEW user friendly wallet - 4-6 weeks release date.
6. Voting system (decentralized governance) better then DASH - people will get payed in ZEN for participating and voting
7. Decenentralising and securing storage system based on IPFS,
8. The most advanced secured/encrypted communication(chat) system in the world
 
These upgrades and announcements must put the pressure on a price rise!

Are we able to stake rewards through the ZenCash wallet by chance?

You need to fulfill certain requirements for setup Secure Node.
https://securenodes.na.zensystem.io/about

Must maintain a balance of at least 42 ZEN in a 'stake' transparent address

This address is in wallet on your local pc.

A payment administrator on a weekly basis reviews the earnings to ensure they were generated correctly and marks them to be paid. Coins are then transferred to a payment address and the payment is made. No funds are stored on the server. This process may be automated at a later time.

This payment address is same as stake address.

I will upgrade my sec nodes to a Supernode since I will only need to pay for 1 VPS instead of 10. Shopping some more Zen  

Requirements will be higher, 8gb of Ram..I don't have details right now but soon will be announced..

Thanks,
Do you have any predictions on when we will be able to set up the Supernode?

Basing on how long Secure nodes were in testing, I'd say a month or so... But that's pure speculation, of course.

Yes, it is nice! I think, we saw a bottom for ZEN yesterday. Now it should start to grow up.

P.S. Somebody please contact with Coindesk.com, they use old logo for ZEN.
