Coinscrum {Presents} Horizen w/ Rob Viglione

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..

The proportional distribution scheme of Horizen block rewards looks very fairly for all, Secure nodes, Super nodes, Treasury, and miners.
The most interesting thing is 70% block rewards will be allocated to miners, which somehow present the important roles of miners on the Horizen network operation.
This one also demonstrates that Horizen is strictly sticked to its original ideas to build up a PoW coin.

I think I am about to give up on mining Horizen directly and switch to an autoswitching pool mining for Hub. Any recommendations? It seems MPH is the only option, and other major ones like Ahashpool, blazepool, etc. do not autoswitch to ZEN. Or is it better to earn BTC then manually trade for ZEN? I am currently looking into Megaminer, in fact running it one one rig.

Venezuela’s Maduro keeps pushing his Petro cryptocurrency despite little interest

“I don’t think it is going to work. I think it is going to be a complete disaster,” said Robert Viglione, co-founder of Horizen, a cryptocurrency focused on borderless and private transactions. “The main proposition, I think, is bogus. They are claiming this cryptocurrency is backed up by natural resources, which in the end there is no way people can claim”

Why is the payments table not updating since October 8th? There are no downtimes or other issues with my node. I am already on the latest version of zend.

Horizen (ZEN) Listed On BGJ.Io – ZEN Airdrop

Understandably over the past several months the ZEN difficulty has increased and also the profitability has decreased.

But in the past 48 hours on Mining Pool Hub and Supernova ZEN / ZEC has been near ZERO in "accepted" shares.

Has something happened that I am not aware of causing this significant drop?

Has there been a change to the algo?

ASIC mining has almost stopped on both of these mining pools.... anyone have the similar experience?

I'm impressed with the innovation Horizen has demonstrated to offer. I am curious however as to how user created services and applications will work on blockchain. In the future, will we be able to see decentralised web stores on blockchain?

...will we be able to see decentralised web stores on blockchain?

Huh? How do you decentralize a web store, much less put it on a blockchain? 

[MedaR]

I can not register there.
What is trading code for registering?

It seems this code is not for security reasons. Generation of this code is in similar manner like generation of password phrase, it use is maybe for restoring of account or something similar I think. Anyway write down everything and save an copy!

This will be explained in our Sidechains white paper very soon

We are excited with our sidechain concept and hope we can start development soon after publishing of white paper. Sidechain white paper is still undergoing peer review by mathematicians. We’ll have a video of our chief engineer Alberto explain the design.

Have they stated that they have updated their software per https://blog.zencash.com/zen-software-upgrade-2-0-15/ ?

If they didn't things were going to deprecate on October 10.

With DAO using zk-SNARKs (Horizen is built with zk-SNARKs), and using Dapps you can run an application on a decentralized network. Sidechains allow decentralized application too. This project is completed at 70% currently
