The more people mint, the stronger the privacy of the overall system. Please consider minting some (or all?) of your coins and help grow Zcoin's anonymity set! 🙏

Hi, where do I download blockchain?

There are some sites refreshing up-to date XZC blockchain for download on weekly basis, but that is not recommended for obvious reasons. XZC Wallet has very fast update of blocks and it weights less then 14 GB on this day so I don't see why would you risk it with some 3rd party blocks anyway. Security must always be one ladder higher than convenience.

What should be enough time for the upgrade from your standpoint?
One month seems to be a good delay, specially in vacation period (and when a new upgrade was not previsible becaue just after one other, here the ...8.1).

You are aware of the fact that some  people are on vacation for 2 months or even more, they can also say that they didn't have enough time to prepare because someone didn't tell them 3 months ahead.
3 months is not realistic, one month it is.

I can agree with you that they didn't selected best time period for this upgrade but from the perspective all others that did actually made upgrade we can conclude that major part of owners did found time to do it on time.
Yes, in first, the development team : what part of individual ZNode supporter did not ? 900 out of 3000, 2000, 1000 ?

Any news about the fork ? All seems all right ?
How many masternodes were exclude from reward queue because not updated to 0.13.8.2 ?

This kind of thing was always responsibility of masternode owners, when your node goes offline from the network or you stop getting rewards then you know it's time to check up on things  Grin
But I am sure that people have scheduled this date at least 10 days before so no one should be surprised by this, maybe someone who is already on vacations somewhere without internet if that is even possible at the time we are living in.

I don't understand you.

The time between a fork (or a mandatory update) and it annoucement is only the responsability of the development team.
And this time must be enough to do the upgrade for each masternode owners : even more during holidays periods.

It is not enough to have access to the internet to update your masternode, you must also have all the information to access it, especially in terms of security (logins and passwords).
I have hundreds of longs passwords (not memorable, for security reasons) and I do not have them with me when I'm on vacation, even if I have internet.

To answer the question I asked, there are 900 masternodes (sources: https://znodestatus.privex.io/ and https://masternodes.online/currencies/XZC/) that have been banned from the rewards list following the fork: they lost their position in the queue and are waiting for their update. 900 masternodes out of 5000, I think that is a lot and is not at all respectful from the development team (which, I suppose, have all they masternodes in the 4000 remaining masternodes).

XZC is a fabulous project but the management of the mandotory updates is a real problem since the masternode begining.
