[ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Unbounded By Design

[tharrison159]

Is there any info on how to go about setting up a secure node or is it still in testing phase?

[Delphinus]

I am interested as well. Didn't realize the amount was only 42, than I can actually set one up as well

Yes they are in testing phase, but this doesn't stop you to find out more about secure nodes->

IV just calculated and the reward is 3,7 ZEN for running a node,there should be 7,5 ZEN or am i missing something ?
I think calculator is not calculating properly, because if u enter 1 node u get insane amount of profit and coins

It all depends of the total number of secure nodes, I predict something within 800~4000 , just a figure of my imagination so take it with grain and salt, In the end it's the laws of the market that dictates supply \ demand

Please write down your inputs here. Calculator is very simple, I'm not sure what is a problem?

WTF I'm not getting here?



So with one node (42 ZEN) I can earn that much money per month??

Number of Secure Nodes = Number of Secure Nodes in the whole network try with 800~4000

 How has the mining difficulty been? I've moved and was offline for a few weeks due to a bad internet connection. I'm getting 2 very different views from coinwarz and whatotomine.

IF this is true then this is not good for investitors...if there would be 4000k of nodes than the reward is 1.56 ZEN this is no go. It should be a fixed reward of one node.

The amount is subject to change, the founders are always open to suggestions. Besides, by the time there are that many nodes, the price of Zen will most likely be worth many times it's current value.

Imma gonna run 45 nodes but not for this change. And the price for VPS is 5$, but i think we should hire one with more space, because of blockchain fillings its space..so next one is 10$ or 15$ per month

[MedaR]

From security standpoint more nodes are better and will bring more stability and security to the network. 42 coins is something about 420$ at current price, and this is price per one node. Bittrex has under 110k ZEN's in orders, 1000 nodes requres 42kcoins.. Demand will boost price, and running a node will become more profitable. This will influence more demand and more nodes on network. Mining difficulty will rise and ZEN might become most profitable coin for mining for some time.

I know a bit about mining but Nodes are new to me. Do you need 1 VPS for every node? So If i Had 84 coins Would I need 2x5= 10$ a month for VPS's?
Can I run nodes from my mining PC?

I hope so, I don't think to ask each node have a separate IP is a reasonable demand. There's no way I'm going to set up 10 different nodes on 10 different VPS.

I wish I hadn't sold off my stack a few months ago  Oh well, I'm back, pointing my rigs at zen again, and waiting for the secure node beta testing to start hopefully soon 

[Zencash]

Here is a guide on how to set up Secure Node testing. Moving to beta phase soon, where payouts will be made with testnet ZenCash. There are two parts to the setup. One is getting the TLS certificate working, the other is setting up the Tracking application:

I will run 10 diffrent VPS's but there must be better monthly reward...
