[ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Unbounded By Design

[aazmega]

Hey!
 I watched this video - very informative. But didn`t found info about processor speed/RAM required for secure node. Can i get this info?

Thanks.

So far we do not know exact system requirements, but  4GB-ram and multi core processor will be ok. If you are running Virtual machine on Win you will need more.

Also I heard some where(maybe on this topic) about zencoins for testnet. Is it true if I want to run testing secure node at testnet I can ask some one for free zencoins(testcoins) and actually get it?

For more in depth instructions and answers you'll need to join slack channel #securenodes

Thank you! Now I have a lot of info about setuping secure nodes.
Can you explain about 42 zen required for node. Do I invest these coins and it`s converts to a node and after that I`m not owning this coins? Or I still have it and can sell it in the future if needed?

Secure Node Criteria
Each of the following criteria must be met and maintained for a Secure Node to be eligible to recieve a share of the reward pool.These items may be added to or modified at any time.

Must maintain a balance of at least 42 ZEN in a 'stake' transparent address
Must maintain a minimum balance of .001 ZEN in a private address on the node for challenges
Must be available with minimal exception time for at least 92% of an earning period (appox. 1 day)
Must perform a challenge in under 300 seconds
Allow 8 or more peers by allowing public connections on the configured zen port (default 9033)
Must maintain a valid public SSL cert properly configured for zen
Must not fall behind the current block height by more than 4 blocks
Must update to current versions of the zen and/or tracker software within the posted time frame
Note: only one public Ip address is allowed per node (IPv4 or IPv6).

Bolded line tells you that those coins are yours "staked" won't be used while they are used for setup of node, they are still yours and you can do with them whatever you like. * They are in your wallet.

Beta testing will be on testnet. When everything's went well we will switch to mainnet and this is it. First few days on mainet will be without staking for few days to check all, and then it will start staking.

ZenCash is correct and official name. We call it Zen.

ZenCash is a platform for secure communications and for deniable economic activity.
We are ZenCash, one unit is called Zen and this small unit is a token or a coin this naming can vary.
(PoW block reward: 12.5 ZEN's).

How do I encrypt the wallet?  The option is greyed out?

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.
