I want to repeat my question.
I tried to run the zcoin-qt.exe wallet application, but how can I generate an address with it?

Thanks!!!

Click on the 'Receive' tab and then 'New address', bottom left.

sure

what i cant understand is this code taken from https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/blob/master/src/main.h#L1356:

You see that "if TestNet" hashing is LYRA2, else it is scrypt_N_1_1_256

so are we mining scrypt_N ? Huh

Code:

    uint256 GetPoWHash(int height) const
    {
        uint256 thash;

        if( !fTestNet && height >= 500){
            LYRA2(BEGIN(thash), 32, BEGIN(nVersion), 80, BEGIN(nVersion), 80, 2, height, 256);
        }else if(fTestNet && height >= 138){
            LYRA2(BEGIN(thash), 32, BEGIN(nVersion), 80, BEGIN(nVersion), 80, 2, height, 256);
        }else{
            scrypt_N_1_1_256(BEGIN(nVersion), BEGIN(thash), GetNfactor(nTime));
        }

        return thash;
}

From block 500 lyra2

            scrypt_N_1_1_256(BEGIN(nVersion), BEGIN(thash), GetNfactor(nTime));
        }

        return thash;
}

Are you seeing straight? Look at these lines:

if( !fTestNet && height >= 500){
LYRA2(BEGIN(thash) ...

For those of us who aren't technically versed in programming: it basically means "if the miner isn't in working in TestNet AND height is above or equal to 500, then use Lyra2". Hashing algo was switched in order to improve the resilience against GPU/ASIC mining.

OPS, i just noticed the "!" which means "not" Grin

        return thash;
}

It was scrypt_N and i have mined with GPU initially. But there were some TITAN scrypt that raped entire hash, and after block 500 zcoin was forked to Lyra2 only CPU to prevent GPU asic.

ZCoin has been launched without any hype or fanfare

It was ninja-launched.

So much 'ninja-launched' that many of us already heard about it several *weeks* before an official website was even setup. Roger Ver (do you even know who he is?) expressed his interest and praise in ZCoin before it was even announced here. It's only your fault if you didn't manage to keep yourself informed. Vent your resentment elsewhere.

it's still a very new currency

No. Relaunch of previous Zerovert scamcoin.

Check the facts: Zerovert was launched as an highly experimental cryptocurrency, and by simply inspecting its blockchain you could easily see that none of the founders reward was ever spent. Moreover, historical data at C-Cex exchange doesn't show the slightest sign of a dump. Get your facts straight before embarassing yourself anymore.

ZCoin is one of the most interesting and solid cryptocurrencies of the year, and it's set in stone that it won't do anything but rise.

Are you high, faggot?

Do you think that swear words and vulgarities are helping with your credibility?

LOL
I heard of ZCOIN launch 2 weeks before on their official website
I was ready till september 13 and launch was september 28
And you call it ninja? LOL.
Plus many interviews months before about their upcoming zcoin concept.

Maybe you don't know that zcoin was initially Scrypt-N and was forked after 3 days to Lyra to prevent GPU and ASIC farm?
Wake up and Fud better next time.

I know everything about this "coin", so don't teach me.

ZCoin has been launched without any hype or fanfare, and it's still a very new currency - even if the technology on which it's built upon is very advanced, thus some volatility had to be expected unless you've been living under a rock. The devs are working around the clock in order to resolve the small issues that have arisen - so small in fact that as far as the community knows they have affected a grand total of 1 (one) user. Talk about mountans made out of molehills.

ZCoin is one of the most interesting and solid cryptocurrencies of the year, and it's set in stone that it won't do anything but rise.

Ok, guys Zcoin [XZC] listed - https://liqui.io. Lets see if this coin so hot for real.

That's surely better than Novaexchange, thanks.
