From the blog wrt bounties

As with any organization that keeps individual compensation private, Zcoin is doing the same so that the organization can continue to be productive.

So if they disclosed the bounty amount they would not be productive?? Seems  like a lame excuse.

I hope it is not a forerunner of further lame excuses in the future.

Do we have any information?  Could they have paid out 100,000 coins?  50,000 coins?  10,000 coins?

Maybe they paid themselves a large amount of coins?

Thank you for the replies.
So eventually there will be 80 times more coins than we see now. And on that basis the market cap would be around $70M USD.

Priced for success?

But no where near Zcash which traded above 3000 BTC...or $30 Trillion by the same methodology. (or did I do my sums wrong?)

Hello all. I bought some Zcoin, so I thoght I'd find out a bit more. Smiley
Coinmarket cap says 264,000 coins.

How many will there be in total?

Did the devs premine some? (I hope so). Was there an ICO?

Thanks for any help

21 million total.

Hope to answer the first question.

ICO, or preminer, I don´t know, sorry.

What is the best miner to use for CPU? Does a miner exist for Windows or is it only for Linux and do I have to compile the miner myself?

Here you get two windows miner:

The miner recompiled by felixbrucker shows H/s instead von Kh/s
Hi all,

2 questions please about ZCoin mining :

1) Is there others optimized miners than the CPUMiner from OCMiner (SuprNova) ? Windows ? Ubuntu ?

2) Is there some project(s) of GPUs Miners ? Windows ? Ubuntu ? AMD ? NVidia ?

Thank you :-)
You can try this one which has slight improvements to it:
https://github.com/Optiminer/cpuminer-xzc

No GPUminers.

I've also spoke to the core devs on this and they confirm that they're working on MTP algorithm.

i recommend everyone to use joblos miner, it contains optiminers avx2 improvements and displays H/s


Thanks for the plug. Just to be clear the optimizations to Lyra2 were mine, first implemented for Lyra2RE and Lyra2REv2.
Optiminer improved it a little for zcoin and I ported his improvements back into cpumier-opt.

It includes AVX and AVX2 unfortunately the zcoin implementation of Lyra2 is extremely memory hard so the bottleneck is
memory bandwith, not the CPU, and the optimizations don't produce a measurable improvement.

E series i7 CPUs with 4 channel memory controller may do better but I have no data to confirm.

There is no GPU miner and never will. The memory bandwith demands of the algo would severely limit its performance,
more than Zcash which uses another memory hard algo. Also the algo has no future, after Zcoin switches to MTP I doubt
anyone else will ever use this version of Lyra2 again.

I wasn't aware of that MTP algorithm ? Do you have a clue about it ? I find that the actual algorithm is very sympatic, that's what make me like ZCoin.

Ok i have a BIG problem with http://zcash.flypool.org

anyone see my address with another ip and im dont change minimum payout is stuck at 0.10 zec .

Any help ? admin http://zcash.flypool.org you read this ? .

Hey mate,
b
etter you ask in a zcash thread or flypool.org thread.

The chance to get a response is higher there.

Getting lots of "stratum_recv_line failed ... retry after 10 seconds".

Tested with suprnova and pool.mn. Using Ocminer version.

Anyone know if it is the miner?




Tried Opt miner version, same problem.
Was mining ok for days...don't know what happened.
Anyone can help?
Same thing : here : a lot of time out, with SuprNova and Pool.MN.
Very difficult to mine this morning...

Well the zcash launch was a shit show. Pool outages and trade manipulation galore. Should have seen that coming. Tried to cash out ~0.006 ZEC to Polo and it never came. Price has plummeted 100x since. Not that the price is realistic anyway at 3000BTC/1ZEC down to 30BTC/1ZEC

Going to stay over here now  Wink

People should start looking here instead of limited zcash, this coin has a really bright future imo

they need to change the algo

Man,
Who need to change algo is not ZCOIN....is ZCASH.
Zcash is already impossible to mine man! After 3 hours from launch.
Equihash was born to be cpu only,minable by smartphone, and has become gpu farm even before launch.!!
