Hello Zcoin!

I'm thrilled to announce our research efforts into the hardened version of MTP, Itsuku, have been published to the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR)! We'll be releasing a C++ implementation of the design in our upcoming Boolberry hardfork when we rebrand to Doubloon. If your team plans on using the new design maybe we can organize a GPU mining contest as it would benefit both projects. If not, no worries we've given you guys credit in our project reveal announcement and also in the published paper.

Can someone explain me please the difference to Stealthcoin (XST) ?

Thanks!

Zcoin is based on the Zcoin whitepaper, essentially. Stealthcoin is not.

Ok so ZNodes are only for owners of 1000 XZC.

Why not for early adopters ?

Mining are useless with the new share plan.

early adopters should have 1000XZC or more.
the good thing about mining, once some drop out from miining XZC, the difficulty will drop, and it will become profitable again.
as the time goes, price increase, it will become more profitable, thus encourage more to mine, thus increasing the network security.

Guys, please
1) what is masternode? Is it similar to "staking coins" of Decred, for example? So I can earn some interest on coins owned?
2) I am unable to mine on Windows 10 and AMD 480 cards... with default settings of official miner (put there pool info), I am still getting errors. Is any custom settings (intensity, etc...) needed to set?
Thank you.

i know people who bought dash masternode at 450.000$

The difference is that Dash needs masternodes to perform coin mixing, as they don't have proper anon tech like Cryptonote, Zerocash or Zerocoin. But in practice there's not much difference -- any kind of masternode concept breaks the original idea of decentralized cryptocurrencies, and brings back old-time big-money capitalism.

I trust on zcoin, i bought my node at 38.20 and i am not selling it even if it drops to 10$ because its undervalued and with the masternode release i am thinking that people will try to get their masternode as cheap as they think i know people who bought dash masternode at 450.000$

3. You have answered your question. Like BTC's price from 0.1 to 11000 USD, if we would know, we will be a millionaire.

That turns out how important it is by committing investment into a technical-sound coin in the long run. Was holding about 100 btc in 2014, the year that going through the prior surge; if I'd hold that much amount till the current surge, my return would surely be huge. There aren't coins I can name from investment point of view, Zcoin is certainly the top one in my portfolio for years holding such that I won't lose the opportunity again.

Hi guys I'm new to zcoin
1) How I can earn more money from it ?
And there is 3 basic question ?
2) What are masters node and their profit ?
3) Should I wait for price correction ?
4) what is the profit of minig with a GPU gtx 1070 ?

You asked very good questions man

1. No one can answer this question but you. You can mine and keep them, buy and trade...
2. Masternodes are running the same wallet software on the same blockchain to provide service to the network. Masternodes get portion of reward for each block. Masternode's profit depends on coins and number of masternodes on the network.
3. You have answered your question. Like BTC's price from 0.1 to 11000 USD, if we would know, we will be a millionaire.
4. With current diff, 1070 can make 3 - 3.5 USD/ day after electric cost.

1000 XZC is a lot, but I guess that it was set that way to attract big investors. Early adopters had the chance to mine the hell out of it when the coin started, it's not early development any longer for Zcoin it's actually very popular right now.

Hello Zcoin!

I'm thrilled to announce our research efforts into the hardened version of MTP, Itsuku, have been published to the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR)! We'll be releasing a C++ implementation of the design in our upcoming Boolberry hardfork when we rebrand to Doubloon. If your team plans on using the new design maybe we can organize a GPU mining contest as it would benefit both projects. If not, no worries we've given you guys credit in our project reveal announcement and also in the published paper.

Is that #1 miner on MiningPoolHub a botnet, farm, or NiceHash? The hash rate has progressively gone up so it seems like it's a botnet (computers go on and off so it fluctuates the hash rate) ... or it's nicehash... If it's a "farm" how to u explain the hash rate going up by 1mil hash in a span of a few hours?
