[ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Unbounded By Design

[MedaR]

Hello, there will be particular hardware requirements for running a secure node, as far as it is known?

There will be some higher hardware requirements for Secure Node setup. We cannot specify those requrements becase we are in testing phase.

Is a secure node the same as a masternode?

Where can we find info or a doc how to setup a masternode?

They are similar but not the same accent is thrown on security of network.

Total supply of ZenCash is 21 million, which is great because this market is very similar to Bitcoin. I hope in the future ZenCash will cost more than $ 100 because now Zen is really cheap and I will keep this altcoin for 2 years.

What am I missing here?
Why I can't encrypt my wallet with password?

There are definitely plans to enable encryption in the swing wallet. But it is not a swing wallet issue. It is a zen software issue.

Just an update to the community, ZenCash development is continuing with substantial progress. It is truly an international effort, and you'll see on the blog https://blog.zensystem.io/ the Whitepaper has been translated into numerous languages. This is the way the development team will keep working, inclusively, internationally, and to keep you up to date with development updates as soon as they're available.

It is too early for this kind of instructions, we are in testing phase and when all tests are done we will post all instructions. I'm very glad to see that many people are interested in Secure Nodes, but we must wait.

What pool give you best output for ZEN?

Hello matovicv,

Do you mean reward? This is very difficult to determine because the difficulty is not a constant number and your reward depends on the pool's luck too.
On whattomine.com you can check the difficulty now, 24h avg, 3days avg, 7days avg etc: https://whattomine.com/coins/185-zen-equihash
About the pool luck, example on zenmine.pro: https://zenmine.pro/#/blocks . The overall pool luck is 119%, so this pool is little unlucky up to now.
https://zen.suprnova.cc/ , all time pool luck is 93.63% (lucky).
But these things can change therefore I think there is no good answer to your question.

If it matters, in my setup the suprnova is the primary pool and the zenmine.pro is the backup pool.

I'm not sure which is the best you can check this list->
