So how is the Windows GUI coming along? Ive been following this currency for a while and it looks pretty solid so far, hope it'll rise like the big ones!

Wonderful!  Thanks for the tip Joseph, I know you're busy, this has been very useful.  

Here is what I did, I share it for other Linux beginners like me.  
Upgrading from 1.0.3 to 1.0.8-1:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake
After that I had to rename the old zdash folder to oldzdash so that there was no folder named zdash before procedding further.
I made a copy of the file wallet.dat located in the home/user/.zdash folder just in case.
I let the home/user/.zdash folder as it was, without renaming/erasing/modifying it.
After that I entered:
git clone https://github.com/J-Stuhlman/zdash.git
Then:
cd zdash
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
Nothing happened, as the zk-snark key was identified as already present in my computer and apparently didn't undergone any change in the new version.
Then:
./zcutil/build.sh
which is the longer part, time to meditate a bit...
Then:
./src/zcashd
Since I made no change to the whole home/user/.zdash folder (containing blockchain, wallet.dat & conf. file), synchronization is fast because most of the blockchain was already downloaded and synchronized from the last version.
Then, installing the new GUI by following instructions there:
https://github.com/vaklinov/zdash-swing-wallet-ui
I invite anyone to give some Zdash to Vaklinov to support his GUI development.

Surprise!  I now have 8 active connections instead of 2-3 in the old 1.0.3 version, without having to open any port.

Already sent and received some Zdash, everything is working fine until now.

These instructions could possibly be added to the github page so that others with the old version installed can easily upgrade to the new version.  

ZPool.it is a multipool based on Equihash Alchorhythm. The server is hosted on a dedicated server in a stable environment and high uptime and optimal mining. As a pool maintainer we will not charge you with a pool fee. Since we do not want to 'charge' our miners to mine at our pool but rely on donations instead.

ZDash Pool:
https://zdash.zpool.it

Some of our pool aspects:
- 0% Pool Tax,
- Fully donation driven,
- High up time and low latency,
- PPLNS Rewards & Payouts,
- 0.01 Minimum Withdrawal.

What is the exact command line sequence to enter on the terminal to upgrade from 1.0.3 to the new 1.0.8-1 on Linux ?

For Zcash, upgrading instructions are published here :  https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/1.0-User-Guide   :

git fetch origin
git checkout v1.0.8-1
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
./zcutil/build.sh --disable-rust -j$(nproc)

For Zclassic, upgrading instructions are published here :  https://github.com/z-classic/zclassic/wiki/1.0-User-Guide   :

git fetch origin
git checkout master
make clean
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)

As you can see the instructions to follow are slightly different for Zcash and Zclassic.  What are the exact instructions for Zdash ?  There is a need for clear, unequivocal instructions to enter on terminal for upgrading to 1.0.8-1 as we are not all advanced users.

Zdash team, please provide official, clear and detailed instructions about how to upgrade from the previous 1.0.3 version since there are none on the zdash github page:  https://github.com/J-Stuhlman/zdash  

There are instructions for a new Zdash installation, but no info on how to upgrade from an already installed previous Zdash version.

Thanks in advance.

did you meanwhile changed the name from ZCash to ZDash in the Linux Wallet (maybe aswell in the unpublished windows wallet)?

Thanks a lot, i'm in

Thanks for the reply!  Great project, keep up the good stuff!

This is the CMD line wallet. If you do not need it for mining, please wait a couple of days for the Full windows GUI wallet.
It will come with installer and will be much easier to setup/use.

Anyway I will see if sparkit or Demartini have some recording software to make video instructions for the cmd line wallet.

I can verify This post is by Ivan Vaklinov.

and this is the github branch where he will maintain the GUI wallet.

Ivan's donation address is found in the readme file, on the link above. If you use the wallet and like it, please do not hesitate to make a donation.


Joseph

Can you guys make a small video, or a file with pictures how to install the wallet on windows! not everybody understand what you mean! 

Thanks...

As already announced by @TheStuhlman, I intend to maintain the Zdash Desktop GUI Wallet

https://github.com/vaklinov/zdash-swing-wallet-ui

in cooperation with the Zdash core development team. If any community members would like improvements or have issues, they may be reported on the GitHub site on the "Issues" section:

https://github.com/vaklinov/zdash-swing-wallet-ui/issues

If you find the GUI Wallet useful, please consider making a donation for its further development. Your contribution matters! The donation address is on the GitHub site...

use Whattomine https://whattomine.com/coins/168-zdash-equihash

Anyone can tell me how many Zdash per day I can mine with gtx1080 on today mean difficulty?
thanks

you need the daemon compiled and running to use the Linux GUI wallet:

Zdash Linux GUI wallet : https://github.com/vaklinov/zdash-swing-wallet-ui
You can compile this wallet for windows as well.

Zdash Windows CMD line + bootstrap file:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8pn_FMrY5v_Rm51aGhoUnQzQmc?usp=sharing

you can download the proving key for windows here:

https://zcash.dl.mercerweiss.com/sprout-proving.key

proving keys go in %AppData%\ZcashParams\ and config files, etc in %AppData%\Zdash\

Edit: Full windows GUI wallet is not released yet, needs a couple of days for testing.

We should have the full GUI wallet in a couple of days.
The windows CMD line is on OP now.

Hello, there are wallet windows? When will Zdash be added to a new exchange?

Awesome that means Zdash is growing

Syncing Windows CMD Line version 1.0.8-1 now, after testing we move to full windows GUI

TheStuhlman, you're a smart guy, good answers,good luck Zdash ahead of a lot of work.

 
We allready found 1000 blocks, thanks miners and remember: happy hashing!

---

we just update dour wallet to latest version and allready found some blocks after the update!
