I don't have skills to make videos or infographics.
Therefore, I really hope that you and ZenCash team will open signature campaign in the forum for ZenCash supporters.
Anyway, thanks for the announcement thread, @MedaR.

The ZenCash coin project team has a first-class technical level. Such teams only need to give them more time, and they will surely produce some results.

What VPS host?
What plan?
Whose instructions are you using?
Why so much swap? You only need 4 gb of swap (match your RAM)
Has your blockchain fully downloaded per instructions?

and how about fpga that can follow whatever algo there is, and most people wont even be able to run FPGA

btc was first mined by cpu, then gpu killed cpu, then asic came, what most people dont know is that before asic came there was a short time of about 6months that a few people were mining with PFGA and beating the crap out of gpu miners, the people who used fpga to mine didnt let the public know about this because they had a huge advantage over gpu miners

fpga mining was only publicly announced that time when the fpga miners were selling theyr rigs because they lose to asics, so we fork and gpu mining is still dead because there are people here who has fpga and thus is promoting to go anti asic so that theyr fpga can continue to dominate over gpu miners

it already is a fact that gpu mining is dead, we only have to choose either fpga or asic

fpga, most people cant use due to high requirement of programming needed(vhdl and verilog, plus know some basic electronics, not to mention before you learn those vhdl and verilog you ahve to know other programs also), to buy you can buy direct from manufacturer, cost of 1 unit is high, good thing about it is you can transfer to whatever algo there is faster than devs can fork to a new 1(only if your a good fpga engr)

asics, plug n play, bad about asic is you stay with 1 algo(dont know how ai asics can be used in the future), can buy direct from manufacturers

so its just a matter of... we all learn how to program our own bitstreams for fpga or we use plug n play asics, btw there have been fpga mining on equihash even before asics came and they have been mining with fpga on equihash for a long time already most people just dont know

just to give some people an idea of how fpga performance is, take out asics in the picture, an fpga that was made 6years ago to mine btc compared to the best gpu we have now and mine btc, that fpga still wins by a mile and only runs on 40watts

Even If I use FPGA and code vhdl for 15 years, that doesnt mean I can develop the algo on hardware ^^

why on the bittrex offline wallets?

why on the bittrex offline wallets?

It seems offline for me too. Maybe they disabled their wallet for the fork planned on 19th July.(block 344,700)

You might want to read about PROG PoW algorithm.  It effectively renders ASIC's "AND" FPGA's very close to an EVEN KEEL with GPU's in hash rate AND power consumption at [1.1 to 1] or [1.2 to 1].  Which is the MAIN reason I'm trying to encourage ZEN Developers to switch to PROG Proof of Work. The link below is a lot to read with discussion among developers but it's worth the read.

Once you've read it, you'll understand WHY we should be careful about making flat statements in this profession.

Information from Discord. message from PeaStew

 "Bittrex is currently consolidating their ZEN wallet to improve performance in coordination with us, we hope this will be finished by monday in time for people to do their final transactions before supernodes go live."

No, Bittrex usually do this for a maintenance, like with every coin.

Do you have an opinion guy about Sidechaining? Since it's one of the major protocol upgrade the team is working on

Pornhub will be accepting ZenCash



MindGeek owns and operates many adult entertainment websites including Pornhub, Brazzers, and 12 other websites.  People can now use ZenCash to pay for their purchases on all of these websites, including advertising-related payments for TrafficJunky and Pornhub’s traffic and advertising network.

https://blog.zencash.com/zencash-now-accepted-on-pornhub-websites/

Robert Viglione, co-founder of ZenCash, said in a statement that the payment option gives "the ability to pay for adult entertainment privately without fear of exposure."

https://www.coindesk.com/pornhub-taps-tron-zencash-crypto-payment-option/

Is this special for ZenCash or are they going to add a number of cryptocurrencies as payment method?

"Pornhub, announcing that it has begun accepting Tron (TRX) and ZenCash (ZEN) as a means of payment. With TRX and ZEN coins, consumers of adult entertainment will now be in a position of accessing premium content on Pornhub and its affiliated sites including Brazzers."
https://www.ccn.com/pornhub-will-now-take-your-tron-trx-and-zencash-zen/

I'm not sure about their plans regarding other cryptocurrencies, but this is major success for Zen adopation!

I am wondering how they make their decisions. They now accept Verge, Tron and ZenCash? Why don't they accept Monero or ZCash?

cause they aren't paying to get 'accepted' force accepted =/= accepted, This is done to purely hype zen and make people buy at higher rate without any fundamental. Plus nobody know how much of their 8.5% dev fund they use to get 'listed' without any reports,transparency word selfclaimed is just here to hype market

In less than 1 years zen get into overhyped category shitcoin

if it is true that they are hiding a 8:5% dev fund we need to raise our voices against that,
