Any chance it comes to mobile / Android? After all a private message app is more useless in the hands of the users. Aka Mobile phones... Hood work team!

Once when developers finish with full sapling implementation and this will probably be at end of Q1, no eta for Mobile wallet..

Would you count supernodes as masternodes? Horizen is a bit different to some of the copy paste masternode coins out there.

Still vote for it, but I think the two tiers of nodes make it a bit different.

Difference between Master nodes and Secure /Super nodes is very great, but for ordinary user it is not important what is under the hood. People like to see some comparisons, an basically principles are the same, you are locking in some final amount of coins and you been rewarded for this..

It was a cross-team collaboration and introduced on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/8jeyxt/introducing_the_privacy_coin_matrix_a_crossteam/

Yes, we need one with updated numbers.  

Does anyone know what the inflation rate actually is? Surely it isn't actually over 29% - that seems wayyy too high (even for a relatively new coin).

I understand that new coins tend to have high inflation for obvious reasons - if you're a 2 year project roughly half of your coins will probably be minted in one year (depending on emission curve) so high inflation, but zen is a fork, so inflation shouldn't be all that high given all the existing coins in circulation from the fork block.

It seems very difficult to find historic supply data. I failed to find any but I got this: "There is a total supply circulating of about 3.8 million coins." From here: https://www.coinbureau.com/review/zencash-zen/  This was written on 09. May 2018.

Based on this data we can calculate the 7-month inflation as of 09. December 2018:

Blockreward 12,5 ZEN  and Blockgeneration 2,5 min  (both from white paper)

(12,5/2,5)= 5 ZEN/min => 5 ZEN/min* 60 min* 24 hours*30 days = 216.000 ZEN per month calculated with 30 days. Which makes 1.512.000 generated ZEN for the 7 months till 09. Dec 2018.

Inflation rate = number of new coins per time frame / number of currently circulating coins

Inflation rate = 1.512.000 / (1.512.000 + 3.800.000) = 0,284638554 as a calculated inflation rate per 09. Dec from the 7 prior months beginning on 09. May 2018.

Today is 26. Dec 2018 and cmc shows: 5.454.163 ZEN  So the 29% inflation rate from the spreadsheet is in line with the above calculation.

I actually hoped for a lower inflation because the halving is not really around the corner. On the other hand I believe now is the time to accumulate ZEN. It maybe won't get much easier.

Definitely Horizen is a work in progress. Working to get fully decentralized as quickly as we can get the software developed to do so.There will only be enough unstaked Zen in circ by Q4-2019 to satisfy very few buyers. Every buyer will aim for a sec node at the very least. Look at what dash achieved last yr with less than 8mill circ supply.

What do you mean by 8 Million?

I think you have a mistake to supply coins from HORIZEN, try checking the coinmarketcap Dude!

Circulating Supply            Max Supply
5,455,638 ZEN                 21,000,000 ZEN

There is no 8,000,000 there. LOL
