This signatures theoretically allows for a logarithmic relationship between the number of decoys and the size/performance of transactions. This means that we can set mixins at a level from up to 1000, keeping the reasonable size and processing speed of transactions. This level of anonymity set will allow us to take Zano's privacy to a whole new level, and we believe this technology will turn out to be groundbreaking!

CryptoZoidberg's (first!) video interview was great and is recommended viewing for anyone interested in Zano or crypto history in general, but it is quite long (>1.5 hours). Here it is, broken down by subject and timestamp for anyone who's a bit short on time.



00:09:11 - Show starts (audio issue fixed)

00:10:31 - Interview Begins

00:13:56 - How Zano improves upon the original CryptoNote/Bytecoin

00:25:36 - CZ's previous low-profile and risks of public association with crypto in Russia circa 2014

00:27:53 - "Zah-na", "Zay-no", how exactly do you pronounce that?

00:29:30 - The unexpected emergence of GPU miners for Boolberry

00:35:37 - Breaking from the ByteCoin team

00:36:35 - Motivation for starting Boolberry

00:49:35 - (Overly?) technical focus of the Zano team and marketing plans

00:55:10 - Kelihos botnet, Microsoft accusations and work prior to crypto

01:08:48 - Zano's "ground-breaking" log size ring sig privacy upgrade

01:18:23 - Zano mobile wallets and planned future enhancements

01:21:23 - PoW/PoS consensus model and weaknesses of pure PoW

01:25:38 - Vision for the future of Zano (making the "perfect money")

01:28:27 - Message for those who haven't heard of Zano

The story around the botnet and (obviously) the stuff about Zano's privacy upgrade are especially worth watching. Plus it's nice to see what a humble and knowledgeable guy we've got at the heart of the project. Enjoy folks!

Hi everyone, after some careful consideration and speaking with the team, i have decided to step down from the community manager position, as of today. While i will still be involved and helping out with some things I'm stepping down due to some disagreements from within the community, I would like to stress the importance of this being my decision for the greater good of keeping the community together, I still believe Zano has a very bright future and believe it will succeed. For the time being I will remain a admin/moderator here and continue to help out with tech support and other community related tasks. It has been a great couple years working here with you all and these world class devs, here's to the future.

Zano Community Growth Report - Nov 2020

I'll be helping the team out with a few communications related tasks, and more generally in trying to stimulate community growth. Each month I'll produce a short report so we can see how things are going.

Website/social media numbers for October 2020:


Some of these numbers are probably more informative than others, but I think taken together they make a pretty good metric for tracking overall community growth. Hopefully from now on we can keep these numbers moving in the right direction.

I've only had access to the various accounts for just over a week, but one thing that's apparent is that we lost a handful of Twitter followers in October. I spoke with Jed and we both concluded that the high volume of automated tweets were turning a few users away. This month we'll be experimenting a bit in order to find the sweet spot between automated, informative tweets and more organic, real-time, conversational tweets. The tweets will probably also emphasize the privacy-side of Zano more.

A lot of zano.org's traffic is coming from mining comparison sites, so I got Zano added to another one (CoinToMine), and got the "Privacy Coins" tag added on CoinGecko. Little things, but hopefully over time they'll have a cumulative effect.

How You Can Help

There are a few simple ways you can help Zano grow. The easiest way is tell your friends about Zano. It goes without saying, there's a world of difference between "shilling" a coin and talking with people about a project you're passionate about and believe in. If they have doubts, or questions you can't answer, invite them into the Discord server for a chat.

Aside from that, if you're not already, please come and join the conversations in Zano's social media groups and channels:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/zano_project
Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Zano/
Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/wE3rmYY
Telegram: https://t.me/zanocoin

For a long time Zano has been a hidden gem. It's time we changed that.

Yes I know of other very transparent projects but there are not many. Being transparent is very important for the trust that can be placed in a project. But crypto_zoidberg has always been honest and transparent from the start, especially with the Boolberry community, so I'm not surprised.
