I thought HEXX was a fork of this? Does HEXX work? If it does, just copy their code ;P
I think Hexx was initialy different coin, but later accepted zoin code and changed some params. Hexx was traded at nice rates for some time.
Yes, That's corect . Zoin is only used for CPU miners so it's quite good and no much inflation. I like this algo and all investors do not worry about this inflation so They can buy more coins to hold it for long-term period.
Actually the inflation is quite high, 100 ZOI per block (around 50000 ZOI per day) - for comparison bitcoin had 7200 per day when the block reward was 50.
And btw, the halving for ZOI is every 105000 blocks (approx 6 months)...BUT there is a fixed emission of 10 ZOI per block once the halving goes below 10 (which is after the fifth halving). Making the reward go from 12,5 -> 10 instead of 12,5 -> 6,25.
What this means is that this coin has an unlimited supply since the block reward will not drop bellow 10 ZOI. Making the supply inflate by 2100000 ZOI every year after the 5th halving.
And the only reason you can mine it with a CPU only is not because the algo is special, just the value is to low (for now) for anyone to develop a gpu miner...
question for @zomanWhy not follow zcoins development until you find a real dev? They fixed the spending/minting issue successfully I think?
And a suggestion: increase the block time to slow down the emission a bit and remove the "10 ZOI tail emission" and go with normal halving towards zero, or just decrease the tail emission to 1 ZOI, that will make the coin more interesting for long term holding (as a store of value).
Example: go from the current 150 seconds (2,5min) to 300 seconds (5min). That will get the network half of the inflation and double the halving schedule from 6 months to 1 year. Together with decreasing (or completely eliminating) the tail emission, the monetary policy would be much better in my opinion and the coin will be more interesting for long term investors...
Find a real dev ? What a stupid quession...
Zoman make: "Fixed spending zerocoin bug.
Optimized check zerocoin in CheckTransaction function in main.cpp file
Added checkpoints for the correct synchronization of the blockchain.
Added multilingual support QT wallet.
Fixed some other details and bugs"
