Crypto Non-Profits Are Flawed – Zcash Thinks It Can Change That

More strikingly, one of the nine candidates for the two board seats is Robert Viglione, co-founder of zencash – a competing privacy coin that uses some of zcash's source code.

His presence on the ballot is no fluke: Zcash Foundation director Josh Cincinnati has made a point of inviting members of competing projects to help govern his cryptocurrency's community.

Open your eyes folks!  GPU mining days are over.  The smart folks already look at GPU mining like we've been looking CPU mining.  Hoping and pressuring developers to fork so you can still mine with GPU at the expense of the stability of the blockchain, shows your true intentions were always about profits.  Open your eyes folks, GPU mining is dead.      

Thank you for creating a fresh new bitcointalk account and came here for open us the eyes.
Good luck with your equihash bitmain paperweight ASICS.

Hey guys anyone to tell me if the zencash team fixed the bug from zcash with deamon? A memory leak or something like that

Right now I don't know but last month it was still here. I guess it will be fixed with the next release. Don't worry, the dev. team is perfectly active working

I see, thank you. It's just because I have a problem with my CPU filled to 100% and not really sure where to look at

hummm what spec. do you have?

the swing wallet requires a lot of resources, mine is using about 20%

I hope the algorithm fork will come soon, because ZENcash is less attractive for GPU-miners now.

Great functionality as a system but with all that centralized ASIC-power, mining isn't the same like before.
Nevertheless, if double-spends are possible, the nice ZENcash system isn't nice anymore

The 51% attack came at the same time when the ASICs go in the delivery process and the difficulty decreases a lot for some days in early June. Maybe Bitmain & Co has to disable their used ASICs for the delivery. 

Also the >50% "unknown" pool distribution can't be nice for the Dev-Team.

Any activity around Equihash 144,5?

Yeah it sure does. Always slows down my internet as well when it's open, and takes a while to load up to the latest block (sometimes hours just to catch up if I haven't opened it for a month).

I've just downloaded Arizen lite wallet - I guess it doesn't have the full range of functions, but for holding it does the job.

very good

The project shows that it holds a blow well. A few consecutive negative news, and even with a falling crypto-currency market, and the project community and developers well done. well hold, no panic is observed! The project has a great future!

70% mining reward is something that most of us aren't used to in respect with a good coin. i have to admit that their approach is original and might hit the jackpot.

Different wallets for different users and different usages. I have them all in use, but if you are user who dont use Z transactions so often, then best choice is Arizen wallet.

We listened community, this increase from 3.5% to 10% for Secure Nodes has direct influence from community who asked for this increase very frequently. Introducing Super Nodes and switching from cryptocurrency to platform gives more value to this project, and more opportunity for different services to be integrated into on this platform.

ZenCash project has done good works to maintain healthy status of ZenCash network.
Secure nodes, which have amazing features, can help preventing Replay Attacks in the future.
Thank you, MedaR.

In the 2.0.14 release memory requirements are lower already, but no specific "memory leak or something like that" was fixed.
Requirements for shielded transactions went from ~3GB to ~1.7GB
