incredible hype for this coin. what is so special about it besides the fact that is a equihash algo coin?

I would actually like to answer this question, at the risk of over cluttering this board with my sentiment. not so much for your benefit or in any acknowledgement of such a rude way of interacting, but for the sake of the reader and those who care about Zero. I will write about Zero because I love this coin. In no way is this intended to be an exhaustive description of Zero's virtue. Merely glazing over some basic concepts that are fascinating to me. For this discussion we will totally avoid the technical aspects and boring nerd stuff that is so commonly reiterated throughout the scene.

I would like to talk about community. This is what is forming now, this is what people who are on the outside cannot and will not understand. What all of those infiltrators wish they could command and control. The reality is that true community is not commanded, controlled or taxed (founders fees, etc). The original vision of bitcoin, if I am not mistaken, was to give the people back their money (energy/power). Their ability to exchange goods and trade that was subjugated from them by the banks and fat cats (always gaining their disproportionate percentage of wealth they did not deserve). In this Spirit, we are all here. At least I can speak for myself but intuitively it seems there is some greater gravity that is drawing in those who seek the "liberation" of controlling their own money. Zero gives people the control of their funds. It is that simple. Zero does not ask the people, does not demand the people a contribution of a specified percentage that is mandatory. There is no mandatory contribution, what's more, Zero gives back money to the people in the form of mined coins. Investors in Zero will surely be very happy they have retained their coins for more than 1 year because one can only speculate what may change in one year.

The new year for me was not start good. I just exchanged about 196 Zero for BTC on the Cryptopia, but I did not get Bitcoins in my account (I had 0.05979240 BTC before selling Zero and after sale I only have so much). Looks like I sold Zero for nothing. Now I do not have nor Zero nor Bitcoins. How is it possible ?

Two quite technical but interesting videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEdx-pqJg4I

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6qOj9ap6RM

So as far as I understand, zcash and its improved version, zero, ensure transaction anonymity whereas bitcoin doesn't.

This means zero has a huge potential.

I wonder though what's going on with all those other altcoins that recently emerged and are actually enjoying a huge price and marketcap inflation.
They claim to protect anonymity too. What is the truth? What is really going on? Or is it all some market game driven by people's ambition to become rich?
How are governments going to react? All this money, where is it coming from? Is it a new bubble?

I legitimately have no idea what's going on...

There are many protocols to mask transactions: cryptocurrency tumblers and coinjoin, cryptonote and ring signatures, zerocoin (zcoin), zerocash (zcash). Each has its pros and cons, zerocash is the protocol that has a high mathematical complexity and leads few people to understand it, and the new version of zcash brings an improvement of the protocol with the codename "Sapling", for info: https://z.cash/blog/cultivating-sapling-faster-zksnarks.html . Now, honestly and objectively speaking, any cryptocurrency is just a way to speculate and earn, it's an iniquitous system where those with more money can have more computing power and make more money or directly buy and condition the market. In a society where there is not a certain degree of culture and respect for all by all there can not be a fair system if there is no control by an authority that guarantees fairness, and cryptocurrency is not controlled. The crypto coins are a start of something but for now they are just speculation. Do you want a fair coin?, be fair, and to finish, zero is derived from zcash that has the best cryptographic development team with the best cryptographers and scientists, now it is in the zero team to build something around this and the basis for something different there are. I can only wish a good job for development team and all of you for every contribution. Sorry for my bad english.

Dear all,

Where can i find nice tutorial or guide to setup a) ZERO node b) ZERO mining pool ?

I followed guide similar to that on github for ZCASH but after we start the ZERO node daemon using following commands

Quote
root@localhost:/home/user/ZNOMP/zero# ./src/zcashd
Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /root/.zero. Zcash is probably already running.
root@localhost:/home/user/ZNOMP/zero# ./src/zcash-cli stop
Zcash server stopping
root@localhost:/home/user/ZNOMP/zero# ./src/zcashd


I get message:

Why does this coin take so long to confirm coins when mining?

Will it take this long to confirm all transactions?

To stop pool hopping (confirms take about 24hours on pool). Which IMO is better. The transactions speeds are really fast. I was pleasantly surprised  Smiley

Happy New Years all.

Going into 2018 we need to start working together to clarify ZERO and what it stands for. At the moment, as new members join our community new platforms are emerging. These need to be clarified and condensed to direct all of our energies.

Firstly... we need to clarify the Name of this Coin... Is it ZERO, ZeroCoin or ZeroCurrency..

According to the websites, twitter and facebook this is coin is called ZeroCurrency. However, according to www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCurrency/ the reddit thread has now moved to www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCoins/

I assumed this is because mr_lou_cifer and Zero-Community haven't been active on reddit so AhaGo took over. ZeroCoins does look very professional and I thank AhaGo for his efforts.

however, I think is must be made clear on reddit and on other platforms that they are pages for the cryptocurrency ZERO for clarity.

What I think would be helpful to the community would be to have something like the following put in the side bar for all social media pages:

Why is the ZERO price going down? Any ideas?

Why is the value of any crypto what it is? Any ideas?

You see such a question is absurd. Lists of ups and downs zero sky rockets then corrects then will climb again just like any successful coin. Kindly dont post questions like this, it serves no purpose other than to cause annoyance and counterproductivety.

Hi and glad you are showing inititiative to help move zero forward. Thank you. I have but one suggestion and that is to NOT call the coin "zero coins" because it will only lead to confusion and brand dilution. This is NOT zcoin so why would it be called that on reddit? That all needs correction.

Looks like I sold Zero for nothing. Now I do not have nor Zero nor Bitcoins. How is it possible ?


Hi, sounds very much like you should be more thoughtful of how many zeros after decimal when specifiying the acceptable price. You can easily give away thousands of zeros for nothing with a single click. The age of your account indicates that you already should  know exchanges are professional tools for trading and if not used appropriately can burn infinity funds either direction. If you check the order books you can see on the extreme sides theres plenty of parasites waiting to absorb coins from typo errors. such an error has nothing at all to do with zero or the exchange.

Hi and glad you are showing inititiative to help move zero forward. Thank you. I have but one suggestion and that is to NOT call the coin "zero coins" because it will only lead to confusion and brand dilution. This is NOT zcoin so why would it be called that on reddit? That all needs correction.

The whole naming issue is quite a concern, at least for me, because of clarity and ambiguity issues.
If you google "zero currency", the first two entries are not related to zero. There is a site called zerocurrency.org that has nothing to do with zero.
Also, the word zero stands for a number and it causes confusion when used to denote a currency name.

I have also noticed what you say about the google-ing hah .. zero currency is some fake note in India they printed against corruption or whatnot (if I recall the read) . mostly for the benefit of the reader, here a tiny bit of background on their version of 'zero currency' .. one possibility is to create much more of a web presence (than they ever did) so as to gain rank over the topic. although it may be a slower process and still potentially yield a tiny bit of confusion, it is not unappealing. there are plenty of coins that have names confused with other topics, komodo is (one example) the previous one I looked at and in software there is "comodo" and also something else spelled with a k that involved computers. So that is far from an original name, how could it be, named after a predatory land mammal, anyway. the point is that eventually they have earned more a name for themselves. I believe that Zero can easily do the same. it's still so young and just getting the web presence (re)organized/established. the other zero currency thing is obviously not cryptocurrency Zero currency so perhaps the confusion would be minimal.

one thing is for sure that whichever branding Zero does choose some steps soon should be moving towards establishing a better (and search-able) web presence. the more original content that gets pushed to the zero page, the better. this can include things like usage guides for the software, the -cli tool help, etc. of course all rebranded with the appropriate name. more Zero original content Smiley

about the name and number sameness, this is something I haven't considered myself Smiley
