The algo will be new for gpu? or an existing one?

Existing with tweaked parameters.

Will AMD and Nvidia miners be available once the tweaked parameters are out?

Sure would be nice to see this happen sooner than later to help mitigate those harvesting coins unethically.

The more coins we get evenly distributed to the largest amount of people the better off it will be for everyone.

Yup we are working with a miner developer to see what we can do Cheesy

why make a gpu miner for this lyra2 variant when you will change algo soon ?

That's a good question and one which has been debated quite hard. I think especially since when we're so early in the release schedule with a large emission of coins, the problem of cloud miner credit abusers is a big issue when a handful of people are dominating the large majority of the hash rate. We were hoping to equalize this while we work on MTP which is slated for a late March release.

Translation?

Unrelated project. All links dead. Looks like a scam.

Nothing to do with us. There are a few projects out there called "Zcoin".

Looks like a good coin
If the gpu miner comes out i can mine it with couple gpu's

Does anyone have a miner that will work for an ARM CPU, preferably with NEON instructions?

Yes, I have got an ARM board allwinner A10 with os ubuntu and run cpuminer...

Look the wiki: https://github.com/ocminer/cpuminer-xzc
When you compile cpuminer, to use NEON instructions, add "-mfpu=neon" to CFLAGS (./configure CFLAGS="-mfpu=neon")

If you mine XZC with ARM cpu many shares will rejects for low difficulty

Is this a Chinese coin?

No, the dev is from Thailand and studied in the US. But it has a strong Chinese following.

A short update on Zcoin’s development progress:

Poramin has managed to obtained additional programming help to work on MTP and solved a major hurdle so we are still on track.
To cater for people with large balances, we will be implementing 1000 xzc denomination mints instead of the current max of 100 xzc.
Work on our user interface is being done to allow minting of various denominations instead of through command line
We are aware of a sync issue that is happening when there is a node that is offline/has issues. Aizensou is already working on it.
We’re about to initiate testing of the Lyra2 algorithm parameter change to see if we can achieve a result that would reduce cloud mining credits abuse by favoring GPU slightly.

Further down the road and in the discussion stage (please don't hype) are the following:

We are assessing BIP47 vs Stealth addresses. BIP47 looks to be more favourable at the moment.
We are exploring details of a possible masternode system to further strengthen the network and provide additional services to the network
Re-examining fee structure for mint and spend transactions. Currently mints are a fixed 0.1 XZC and spend transactions are free despite being computationally intensive.

sounds great keep up the good work!

zomg how long does this wallet take to synch?? Angry

Weeks... I've been trying to fully sync for 3 full days and I'm still 2 weeks behind.

Hi! Mine is synched now after many wallet restarts. It does work great it just synchs really slow cos it has to check all the thingies for double-spends or something. If it gets stuck just restart the wallet, and it seems to be faster if your machine is not doing anything else at all. So when you're asleep would be the perfect time I found.

We have identified a bug that may prevent syncing in some cases where the node is not connectable. Our devs are working on it!

Yeah sure they are. Complete BS.
