I also think that we need more annouce info in all channels. This thread is good but it is for geek only )). Secure nodes start in two days but not so much info about that anywhere.

 I've been getting more and more interested in the zencash to be honest I've seen it do some great stuff in the market and I've been interested in its mining mechanisms. I would be really interested to see what this coin does in the future and I'm hoping that at some point in the future I can build a mining rig to get some of this coin accumulated ASAP because it seems like these guys really know what they're doing.

In a few days, Zen co-founder, Rob Viglione, is headed to Warsaw, Poland with Tatiana Moroz to speak at the "Cryptocurrency World Expo" subject is Applied Cryptoeconomics: Creating a Sustainable DOA.

zencash as coin, also devs, support here are great but marketing is very poor I told it earlier and nothing changed... few days to secure nodes and no PR, no articles on popular blogs, no social campaign, no reviews, no comparison, no youtube campaign etc.... As i understand zencash has partner for marketing but they do not know how to make marketing or they do not work (even worse)... i saw 300 likes on their fb page, really poor result for marketing agency. I think you need make some changes because zencash only will win if marketing will be strong. Without veery active and smart marketing even the best technology will fail and will be forgotten. It will be much better results if you give average freelancer $5k-10k to make huge marketing boomb on the market.

Zencash is still relatively new, maybe they are waiting for more development before making a large marketing push.

Still I wouldn't me an opportunity for free publicity. But if the tech continues to develop, there will be plenty

Well, nodes are going mainet but we cannot say that this is D day, when they become fully operational marketing team will gave their best. So far they did good job promoting ZenCash, take a look at previous post for example.

But you are right   , some changes will be made very soon. If you like you can post your opinions here-> https://forum.zensystem.io/t/ideas-bucket/810

[MedaR]

There will be 2 weeks of testing in mainnet without payment to ensure the system is stable, test payments on mainnet won't be done because that may be too complicated to track.  

ZenCash core capabilities are being developed. As any software development project, there are technical issues. We are planning a campaign when payments are turned on. The reason we are waiting to do this campaign until the technical issues are worked out because the team is experienced and Murphy is always around the corner.
ZenCash is ramping up Marketing. Every major delivery will have an associated campaign. Wait and see the secure nodes campaign!

Is there anyone running the node on windows server? Is it possible at all? Is there are any manuals on how to do so (which wallet or its elements should be installed and running)?

[infofront]

If I wanted to run two secure nodes, would I be able to run them on two different AWS instances (and would I still get paid for both)?

I do not have information that someone succeed to run Secure Node on windows machine without using VPM, if such tutorial appears i will be glad to post it here

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).

Today I tried to import the private key generated in Arizen to the Swing. And I haven't succeeded in doing so. There is no button in the interface of Arizen to export the private key. So you need to use some 3rd party binary editor, find a privatekey inside the file (and among other private keys) and copy it.  
Why so complicated?

We urgently need a wallet encryption in Swing.
And we also need a private key export in Arizen.

These are not big deals (in terms of new lines of code) for your programmers! All the necessary libraries (like encryption libraries for wallet protection) are already there.

Today I tried to import the private key generated in Arizen to the Swing. And I haven't succeeded in doing so. There is no button in the interface of Arizen to export the private key. So I used the 3rd party software to read the arizen wallet-sqlite information. However, keys that are in it doesn't look like having a same format as private keys of Swing, they appear as strings in HEX.

Arizen wallet
Private keys are encrypted in .awd wallet file.
->   .uawd (unecrypted arizen wallet database) is unecrypted and you can export it from Arizen menu - it isnt in plain text but in binary format.
Write code in any language which load binary file and display it in plain text, or some text editor that allow you open / load binary files.
People asked for encrypted wallet. We will see if in newer version  this can be simplified.

Swing wallet?
Known issues and limitations
Limitation: Wallet encryption has been temporarily disabled in ZENCash due to stability problems. A corresponding issue #1552 has been opened by the ZCash developers. Correspondingly wallet encryption has been temporarily disabled in the ZENCash Desktop GUI Wallet.

When they have different IPs and each have own OSs then yes.

Do you think 1 Billion marketcap in the next months is realistic?

So you are protected by having a private key for your Arizen wallet
and no one else can get this key from the wallet?

It is an open source wallet also?

You can hold 42 ZenCash in it while running a private node?

Thanks,

What is and can do Arizen wallet

 You can download Arizen wallet from Release section from Github right now
You can create multiple separate accounts
 Password protected locally stored accounts
All data are encrypted (any of other wallets does not have this) and stored only on your HDD
 Detailed info about address and transaction history
You can import / export wallet to encrypted .awd / decrypted .uawd Arizen's file
Desktop notifications when balance has been changed
 Arizen automatically downloads updates instead of you
 Windows + MacOS + Linux installation files

https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/arizen

Yes you can steak 42 Zen in it while running a private node.
