Hey everyone I put together a video on how to setup and send/receive ZenCash with the official ZenCash web wallet - www.MyZenWallet.io hope this helps

https://youtu.be/gMA-67pGmyM

Are you official team member of ZenCash?

Anyway, thanks for your work here, it's helpful.

he is the perfect example of "anybody can do it" expression. Many of his recommendations are actually terrible and should be avoid.

You are terrible and should be avoidED.

aah a noob, welcome ! Or is it VosCon second account ? Probably not

I'm not sure why you are attacking me and my work, but it's not appreciated or constructive to this thread/ZenCash

Also I am not an official member of the ZenCash team, just a contributor.

What is wrong with the current logo? In my opinion It looked pretty good.

There's nothing wrong with it but it is simply a little dull in my opinion. Not very modern or visually pleasing to the eye. Of course that is just my opinion. Believe it or not, the logo plays a massive part when it comes to adoption!

What's the ETA on the securenodes? When will they appear on the mainnet?

We are in beta and there is no exact date, when developers says that everything is OK we can go main-net

Are there plans for signature bounty for ZEN community? Thank you.

Not for now, maybe after launching of nodes nothing certain.

hey all, just wanted to chime in on this since it seems to be getting so much controversy. First, no logo is ever so set in stone that it can't be swapped out when something better comes along.

That said, we need a new logo that we own the trademark to, that's the main purpose for redoing it. That's why we launched a new logo competition months ago: we had the community submit designs and we ran a parallel 99designs competition. There was a vote and what we see now was the result.

We held off on implementing bc some people wanted another chance to come up with something better. We had some members run independent (and more expensive) 99designs campaigns, we've had awesome pro designers submit expensive sketches, and nothing made everyone happy; nor did it make majority happier than the one you saw in the slides yesterday.

Of course, our community has grown a ton since we did that original competition, and we can keep this channel open for continued improvements that we can adopt at any point; as of right now, we need a new logo, not having one has held up broader rebranding, merchandise, marketing materials, and website. From the last 3 months' effort I haven't seen everyone happy with anything, and we've procrastinated too long.

My preference is to move forward with what we have. I like it, but also think we can do better, so recommend implement and keep this channel open for continued improvements.

just wondering how do we prove our identities to claim the physical zencash coins when the logo competition is over? Also with each vote only costing 0.05zen, the comp looks on track to make less than 5 zen total, will there be enough in the kitty to even pay for that?

Rob Viglione @finpunk will talk ZenCash Treasury model at the Blockchain Cologne meetup in about 1 hour, 40 minutes, 11/6/17 UTC+01:00

So if i had a computer that has required specs for running let's say 5 secure nodes, how would I set them up.

Do i need to have a Virtual machine for every node i run and an VPS on each VM?

Or can i just buy 5 different  VPS on my Windows, one for each node, without running 5 VM?

Every node must satisfied next conditions!
4gb of ram, 1 cpu 64bit

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).

General Secure Node expectations:
Maintain the full block chain
Run on a secured system (firewall, restricted logins, etc.)
Keep the node OS updated, patched
Periodically check for notices of updates, issues, etc.
 
If you are planning to experiment with your machine, you must have very good machine and must install Virtualbox and 1 instance of system for every node. One IP per node, I think you can't assign public IP to your virtual box..
VPS is much better solution.
