How many people use Zold monthly, according to your statistics? And what’s the total number of transactions made during this year? If it’s not secret information)

[MrFury]

Are there any books on programming and cryptocurrencies which you would like to recommend to read?

[Fuszvenh]

How many people work on this project right now?

We have a core team of 6 people. But there are also many volunteers, who contribute.

And what’s the minimum of people who can cope with creating such a cryptocurrency? Is it possible to create it all by yourself, without any team?

What’s the Zold-USD rate now? Will it be helpful for you and profitable for me if I invest a few hundred dollars and get some Zold for it?

It's around $2.20 at the moment. See: https://wts.zold.io/rate

It’s well known that without investors, it’s pretty difficult to gain your startup’s wealth and success, so entrepreneurs need to organize crowdfunding and find some partners. Do you have any official partners who support your project?

I heard it’s quite informative, still haven’t started to read it yet.

Do you ever have problems with people slandering your cryptocurrency?

I bet every startup has such a problem

Also, Introducing Ethereum and Solidity: Foundations of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Programming for beginners has got a good response from its readers

Is there any chance to get to your team and help with your project?

that’s pretty cool, but did anyone find any book on a non-blockchain technology of cryptocurrencies?

[KyleWhite]

Where did you find your motivation to create your own cryptocurrency?

Hey, I want to know whether Zold can be cashed out directly or I will have to exchange it into Bitcoin to do that?
