Not sure why Lyra2Z, guess they are having problems with MTP, so make some changes and buy some time.

Changing algo is not good for the coin though, unless there's a big advantage.

The main reason is to reduce AWS cloud mining abuse. MTP is well underway and should be ready on schedule.

Important Announcement

New transition mining algorithm Lyra2Z will come into effect on block 20,500, around 10 days time, while awaiting MTP launch which is scheduled still in late March 2017.

...

Seems like a lot of work for something that is planned to be obsolete in 2 months. Is the problem
that bad that you can't wait?

Agreed. Also, I like my cryptocurrencies stable in the long term, not changing algos every now and then. Other coins seem to manage fine with their initial choice of hash algo, including Bitcoin -- the big challenges are elsewhere.

New transition mining algorithm Lyra2Z will come into effect on block 20,500, around 10 days time, while awaiting MTP launch which is scheduled still in late March 2017.

Reasons for change and improvements:
a) Much lower load on mining pools and nodes
b) Allows GPUs to participate while still making it possible for CPUs to contribute. (combat cloud mining credits abusers)
c) Better distribution of hashrate

The pool issue is actually quite bad with frequent crashes.

Hmm actually I have that under control pretty well...

I wasn't aware of the pool problem, I haven't mined zcoin in a while. I thought it was all about
cloud mining. Crashing pools is not good and deserves immediate attention. Good work.

Hi, miners! I have a small question to you. What can you expect from the price of the Zcoin in the near future? It is not growing and not falling for a month. Who better than you to know all the details of its value today. Thank you in advance.

In last month it was a 4x increase

Yes, I agree. A Zcoin grew up not bad. My friends believe that he will continue to go up. I do not know why they think so, but if you follow the chart you should even expect x8

whers is the new miner ?

Should be done by the end of the week. Testing it on Testnet to make sure it works well. If you want to help test you can do so on #mining on our Slack.

Sounds great! I cant wait to start testing by the end of the week

Will we have to join Slack to test or will the links to the miner be posted here?

It will be nice to see cloud miners become less profitable, especially ones abusing it.

Wow, That is great news .I like this change so it makes zcoin go far to the moon .
I have just bought some zcoins and hold it for 3 months I expect it will hit 0.01btc again. Thanks, Dev

wait a little with a moon, but we will hit 0.01 in some month, i think. MTP will bring new blood.

ZCOIN-Wallet cannot synchronize! Not synchronous! Not synchronous!

No block source available. 117week(s) behind

For a few days it's still this way!

Go into your Zcoin installation directory and create a file called zcoin.conf
Place this into your zcoin.conf
