Accumulating enough to buy a masternode. I need that passive income, missed too many opportunities to buy Masternodes at a cheap price and won't miss this one.

x15 by the end 2018.

Are there any signatures one could use to promote XZC? I see these fancy ones for Ark and others. Would be nice to have it, just for the sake of it.

Btw, when will the new blogpost be released?

Is xzc.suprnova.cc dead?

I just see this message :

Available Pools:

http://pool.mn/xzc
http://xzc.maxminers.net/

These pools are also dead. I think the only option we have at the moment is MPH. Am I right? I also see xzc-apac.suprnova.cc & xzc-cn.suprnova.cc on xzc.suprnova.cc Should I connect these or should I continue with MPH?

Best wishes,

looks like suprnova is having some problems right now with reporting mining info, dont feel very confident about my coins being there, and coins mined during this period. same thing happened when monero went to 120$ back in august

I don't know what to do.

1. Last block found on suprnova: 09/22/2017 09:48:04   that means my, at least, last day of mining has been useless.

2. Discrepancies in MPH between reported hashrate are miner hashrate are too large to ignore.

Anyone can advise a reliable pool for Zcoin?.



I noticed the same issue and switched to https://zcoin.miningpoolhub.com/ It's is the biggest ZCoin mining pool.

Pity the pool choice is quite limited.

Mabe someone should set up a new pool.

I had the pool up for this coin but never enough miners. Miners are a fickle bunch and not much chance getting them to switch.

well at the end of the day are the coins that matter. Here goes my short test:

miningpoolhub:
begin  --> sep 19 11:28:44 CEST 2017 --> 0 zcoin
end     --> sep 21 13:57:33 CEST 2017 -->  0.47537101 zcoin
** Average: 0.2635 Zcoin/day
  


Suprnova:
Begin --> sep  21 13:55:53  CEST 2017 --> 0 zcoin
Current -> sep 23 17:28:20 CEST 2017 --> 0.59912859 zcoin
** Average: 0.279 Zcoin/ day

Conclusion (what I suspected): Suprnova  looks  better. This is true specially taking into account (i) the  larger granularity at suprnova and (ii) how the test in suprnova has been done after MPH with larger global HR.  Ideally, one should run in suprnova much, much longer to do a more accurate average due to the lower share of this pool, but I think results point to suprnova as a better option in spite of the issues commented these days.

How is the total network hashrate and overall difficulty factored in here? In the past few days it has seen a major change, almost doubled at one point. By the look of it, Suprnova is rewarding you way much better than MPH based on the difficulty increase in the past day. Seems a bit unrealistic.

I dont' think is unrealistic. I posted a comment in MPH thread complaining about the huge mismatch between them and  ccminer. On the other hand,
suprnova is not very good either in that regard, but it is not reporting a consistent hashrate below my miner as MPH does.

Edit: the different between block finding is so large between both pools that as I commented before to make a more reliable comparsion I should run
suprnova for quite a lot of days to average fluctuations. But those are the date I've got so far and I report them.

0.8 xzc last 24h in MPH with 10mh/s ...(increase clocks and set intensity to 22 to reach 10mh/s)
before 5 days on suprnova was 1,6357 and 9mh/s

Yes, but the global hashrate has almost doubled in the last day or so. That's the reason for the decrease in rewards.

I think suprnova's ZCoin pool is going to have issues unless the pool hashrate increases. Suprnova currently has less than 5 percent of the global hashrate. It's going to be difficult to get people to stick to the pool if they cannot get any rewards.

But this is a bigger problem I think. Miners need to switch to Suprnova or other alternative pools so that the hashrate is decentralized. This way miningpoolhub has more than 70% of the global hashrate. Not healthy for the network I think, and definitely not in line with ZCoin's decentralized vision.

Where can I find an all-time chart of ZCoin's network hashrate and difficulty?
https://bitinfocharts.com/zerocoin/

Thanks gurumeditation, but this is a price chart, not a network hashrate/difficulty chart.

Does anyone have a link to an all-time chart of ZCoin's network hashrate and difficulty? I suggest this is added to the website. It's quite important to miners and potential network supporters. The only thing I've come across are current network stats.
Duh ! sorry :

Hi guys. question - sent from my wallet a few coins to the  exchange (bittrex), but there is no confirmation in the wallet, the coins did not come to the  exchange. How long does it take to receive a confirmation from the network?


There's generally a slight delay, but shouldn't take too long to transfer. I hope you got the coins by now.

HI, could anyone tell me the minimum xzc necessary for creating a znode (masternode)? Also, what is the purpose of this special nodes on this coin? Thanks

Zcoin Dev Update 19 September 2017: Znodes, GUI, libzerocoin, MTP and ZEth



Znodes
At the same time, work will begin on Znodes, the long awaited update that allows incentivized nodes to support the Zcoin network and makes Zcoin into a hybrid Proof of Work and Proof of Stake system. Znode owners will earn a proportion of the block rewards as an incentive to maintain a full node, keep it updated and maintain the network. A certain number of Zcoin will be required as a ‘collateral’ to start a Znode to discourage Sybil attacks. This number will be announced as we come closer to launch but we aim to achieve a balance between allowing people to participate while maintaining a decent profitability for node owners to keep them sufficiently incentivized.


No numbers announced yet, maybe there is some rumors on the slack but i did not hear any numbers for now...

The Zcoin official account on Twitter confirmed it will be a round number, between 3 or 4 digits, to have a Znode.

between 3 and 4 digits, meaning 3 or 4 figures? so like 100s or 1000s of coins?
