[ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Unbounded By Design

Good job zencash team - really nice new logo & webpage!

Few tips mainly regarding marketing and user experience:
- change link for bittrex directly to zencash exchange
- on the right should be floating social icons to be all the time visible
- top3 sites based on traffic (google, youtube, fb) - not exist or is not optimally used on the site... so:
- add youtube and fb icons on the right (need change to floating) + at the bottom
- seo (use the right words on the page and in the meta title, i can help if you do not know anything about seo )
- add links to subpages on images with text: zencash For Money, zenchat For Messaging, zenpub For Media (Coming Soon), zenhide For Web Traffic (Coming Soon) ... and write something about these topics. If somebody see such thing - it looks great but 90% don't understand what it means and if it is something interesting.
- zenhide - nothing in roadmap
- make subpages also like main site because now it is "funny" that all subpages are on the old not so nice template
- make translations (it is really easy to hire 10-15 freelancers and translate main page/main subpages to most popular 10-15 languages. It will cost $1000-$2000 only and can be made in 4 weeks everything)... one more thing here - keep in mind about seo if you add other language versions
- add link to last 5, 7 or 10 post from blog so people will see that your are active

under roadmap... give people ideas where zencash can make something... as ideas and possible new/future solutions  - like smart contracts, instant payments etc - it works on the imagination

Good work but now start asap active/"aggressive" marketing campaign!

A nice list of good recommendations I think. When the process of setting up nodes will also have been simplifies to that everybody can easily do it, adoption will spread.

Agreed, great list and thank you for the feedback! Passing this off to our web team now...glad the new site is resonating positively with the community.

Hi,
I like the new ZEN and I've secured a few of them. However, I would change the name completely in "Zen" or "The Zen".
Also, I wanted to know how to use the Android app to send anonymous messages or even messages. Or does it not work yet? That would be a top selling point. 

Cool thanks for supporting the project!

We've been having this renaming debate recently in the community...there's certainly sentiment towards changing it. Just going with Zen would be great; technically we're Zen Blockchain System (hence zensys reddit and zensystem.io domain), and our cryptocurrency (one product) is ZenCash. We also have ZenChat, ZenHide, and ZenPub as products.

Applauded the progress of ZEN, but did not cause its price to rise

Some pretty bad timing releasing that good news the day some random South Korean bureaucrat threatens to shut down cryptocurrency exchanges! Either way, the project is growing wonderfully and we're not timing news to boost price...ultimately markets will decide what projects have value...

after few minutes yet what i see (need to update )

- mining is important for zencash so need to make new section in menu... and team you can move under "about" (maybe better "about us"?)
There should be important info about pools, miners etc
- add PR section in "about"... with contact, logo to download etc. You need help newspapers, blogs etc to write about zencash so need make PR section and somebody from the team (freelancer or outsourcing company) should work there (sending 1 PR message each month is min to all english and other language pages/newspapers/platforms... need high quality PR sending service not like from fiverr for $5)
- add contact in "about" section
- "button see mining pools" - maybe make small section on the main page with some short text (need good copywriter ) that mining zencash usually give most profit (equihash mining) and then link to mining section with pools, miner links etc... Kepp in mind that every text on the page should be also marketing This is not newspaper and your goal is to have as many people as possible (in comminity/investors etc)
- The most important thing
You need an authority, so get in touch with PBC to be allowed to quote their words, that zencash can reach such level and can be bigger than all anonymous coins put together (like dash, monero) .... Work on the imagination !!! Be smart in it (tell truth but be smart in it). You need few such recommendations ... act here actively - contact people with a high authority to know and then recommend zencash (maybe second should be John McAfee because he told a little one time about zencash).
- Also for marketing/authority... need min few articles, reviews or maybe interview on popular pages like forbes etc (i can help if you don't know how to do it). It will bring traffic/seo power and authority if done properly... and then add icons or text on main page that newspapers a,b ... wrote about zencash (only the best sources with highest authority)

Marketing will be 10x more efficient if you combine it with authority and recommendations! Effective marketing based also on authority = value of this platform, price will go to the moon

Thanks so much for taking the timing to list these recommendations!

Zencash will probably see rise in value when the resistance level of 60$ is broken. I believe we need to see roadmap steps being delivered before it. The voting system, secure nodes payment and so on. Maybe some kind of fork such as ZClassic is doing could be a big boost. We just need creativity.

check out this video - do you like it, we'll be adding more videos and planning to do more motion graphics. this is just a start.

I'm not a fan of copying ZClassic's gimmick. Look what happened with HUSH and their Bitcoin Hush fork/airdrop. I think ZenCash performs as a no-nonsense equihash coin with a strong research background.

It would be nice to have this with all privacy coin as well (NAV, Verge, Komodo,...)

The new website is the sexiest re-branding I have ever seen. Well played truly zen 

[TheHas]

New Zencash logo looks great! Also website looks more modern and cleaner.

A lot of coins are using a navy/dark blue look. But the 'teal' looks like a great addition too. Also the youtube videos look great and explain the objectives and development of zencash very well.

Question:
I got swing wallet. I want to send some Zen to bittrex. First 0.2 Zen to test if it's all fine then more. It displays the message (in 'send cash' tab) that remaining unspent Zen in T address will be sent to auto-generated address. How does this work? I'll send 0.2 zen to exchange and then the rest to some random new address (that will get private key I assume)? Can I then send the funds back to my original address? (I have it's private key backed up)

I tried to look it up and watched some videos but I didn't fine anything conclusive. And links about the issue are appreciated.

Ohh and the logo has just been updated on CMC

This newly created address is in your possession and you can get private key. This is good security practice, sometimes looks odd, but you have control over your funds all the time. Yes you can sent your funds to previous adress after transaction is confirmed if you like.
