1.
http://explorer.etherzero.org/home the point of a fork is that it branches off of an existing blockchain, right?
2. Um...trades look fine to me, only thing is you can't deposit or withdraw to a wallet at the moment, look here:
https://yobit.io/en/trade/ETZ/USD3. You go to myetherwallet.com and follow the instruction here by connecting to a custom node:
http://cryptocoindaddy.com/how-to-claim-etherzero-coins/4. Make a transaction like you usually do with ETH via MEW interface.
5. I am not that tech-savvy, however, since the project is rather raw, it might be that it is the way their node is connecting and interacting with miners, which makes you think it's actually another coin, when it's not. If you give me a detailed instruction on how you came to this conclusion, I can check it out
P.S. After writing all this, I think now I should seriously consider applying for a job with the ETZ team as their English-speaking public relations officer
I'm just kidding, we are all here just trying to figure out if it's a worthy project or not.
lol this is an interesting thing you mention there but can you pls point out where exactally it say tht this coin is a hard fork from the eth ?! as far as vitalik saying THERE IS NO HARD FORK OF THE ETH BLOCK CHAIN AS OF YET, those ppl just copied the block chain of eth as its an open source they didnt do any dev to the project just a copy of existing one!!
i am still checking out tht myetherwallet is actually supporting those nods you mention but just to point out since you said you not tht tech savvy making a coustom node is not tht hard what is hard is making ppl use your coustom node and trust it to communicate with the block chain.
regearding how i came by to the conclusion of the mining pool, its very easy to chech the ip address you are connected to thro your task manger and then comparing the ip address to the orginal ip address of the block chain.
about you joining the etz team i personaly would try to associate my self with ppl who don't want to disclose their names or their teams and again they claiming to have a multi national team some of Europe so they should be English speaking memmbers of the team.
last but not least i would like to remind you the only dev ever hide their identity and never disclosed their dev were the bitconnect team and we all know why don't we .
i am not trying to spread fud or any thing but for me personaly this project have all the sings of scam
