Cryptotexty Talk with Robert Viglione, HORIZEN Co-Founder and Team Lead


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvikFBGriG8&t

I already shared this interview, but now my friend-colleague made a "plan" so I'm sharing it for those who don't like to watch long videos but might jump to some particular point
~

It is much helpful for audience.
Nevertheless, I think that it is much better if you can create a full text of the interview.
I know it takes lot of time to do it, so I can not ask you to do this for free.
Anyway, thanks for the list of important points in the interview.

Well, for those who saw this link but were too lazy to watch video, this is excellent, also for others who are not so regular in this thread this is very informative post.

What's the status on plug and play secure nodes?

True plug and play secure node installer is possible and even exists, to a certain extent, as in-house tools developed by node hosting services for their own use. However, there is no such thing as plug and play Linux system administration or maintenance, which is necessary for successful operation of Secure/Super Nodes.

Sure, I will dot it. It's actually in process, my friend is doing the text version
Then I think we'll also translate to Ukrainian for Ukrainian version of site

Hello,

What happened to mining?
There are zero users mining Zen at Suprnova? Difficult also skyrocketed. It is not even profitable with ASIC equipment....

Could anyone explain what happen if there are zero miners mining a coin. Blockchain will be generated by who? Nodes.... !!! The coin dies....!!!???

NO.. this coin is not going to die!! :p

We have announced soft fork.. They probably upgrading their software

Software Upgrade containing 51% attack prevention code is coming!

 Mandatory for miners, node operators, partners, and swing wallet users!

ZEN is POW coin and it is generated through mining..Every found block is divided: 10% secure nodes, 10% super nodes, 10% treasury, 70% miners. Other pools and miners celebrating when Supernova is offline..

Great news for Horizen enthusiasts!
With text document to come, they will much easier to follow the progress of the interview and for later re-view, of course.
Highly appreciated all both of your two guy's efforts to make it.

50% of our active nodes have upgraded to ZEN 2.0.15 and the Swing Wallet is now ready for upgrade!

All miners, node operators, partners, exchanges & Swing Wallet users have less than a week to download this MANDATORY upgrade.

Will you change the algorithm to get out of ASIC?

There were some discussions about this issue couple of weeks ago here on BTC forum. The final answer is that is not a priority for ZEN dev team.
No idea if the coin will ever be profitable by GPU miners. Hope I didn't miss any important announcements about this subject because I was a ZEN GPU miner too for a lot of months.

for news or announcements will be announced in this forum?
if the algorithm changes, will it make it harder for miners who miss this news?

Correct, all important information will be announced here as well.

I hope there's been some clarity and folks see we're keeping overall system security as priority #1 that goes without compromise. Until we have 51% prevention solution in production, we just can't mess around with potential drops in hash rate right now. I see no reason why we can't fund other serious R&D into alt algos, but let's not forget that the most promising mining decentralization solution--blockDAG--is funded, we've gone from math to prototype mode now, so we're not giving up by any means on real decentralization
