The current logo is no doubt the best. Do not change it:)!
I like the current ZEN logo too. Please keep this one, devs

why did the price of three days fall so significantly Huh Huh Huh

Price is correcting itself after the big jump. I expect it to go back up and probably higher once the secure nodes are released on the main chain and people will buy ZEN to set them up Wink

That's to be expected. The price can not grow all the time. Before we going any new higher level we need a correction.

Where can I find this tutorial?

Operate ZenCash node software on a capable system-this means linux only?
We have tutorial for Linux, Windows is not known as most secure system anyway.
You can try this on VM?

I have never been able to get the swing wallet up and running on Zen.  I have it up and running on Zcash and Hush though?  When I Try to open the Zen Swing I get the following message.

Possibly - You must kill a process behind because Hush and Zen daemons runs on same rpc port.

1. Is zencash secure nodes stil in alpha phase?
Tracking System Beta for Testnet

We are ready to start the first part of the beta test of the new server system.

There are now three sets of regional servers (12 in all): Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia running with Cloudflare and clustered databases.

This part of the beta is still on TESTNET, so please do not switch nets yet.  Instructions for the next phase will be provided later.

This is the time to start setting up your nodes over the next couple of weeks.  There will still be some time after next beta phase starts before payments are enabled (timing depends upon issue found and resolved).

In this phase there will be testing of the node and server failover over the next week. Your node may be connected to another region at various times and then fallback to your home server.  Please check your nodes periodically and report any issues or anything odd.

*What to Expect*
When you migrate your node(s), it should detect which regional server to connect to. If not correct, it may be changed by running the tracker setup.  The migration process is pretty simple and quick.

The email system has been changed to Sparkpost. Be sure to enter a valid email address in the node setup to receive notifications of exceptions and downtimes.


How to Migrate

Follow the 'Update' instructions here: https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/secnodetracker
The tracker version is now 0.0.8

There are also instructions for a new installation on that page.

Snapshot for the newbies

(see the setup guide pinned to the top of the #securenodes channel)

https://blockoperations.com/build-zencash-secure-node-part-2-build-zen-node/
https://blockoperations.com/build-zencash-secure-node-part-2-5-test-tls-secnodetracker/

- 1 IP address per secure node (either IPv4 or IPv6)
- 42 zen (znt for testnet) in wallet off the node
- public cert is needed for your node
- 1 zen (private znt) in the challenge private address on the node. Send 5 separate transactions of 0.2 each.
- Tracking servers are at https://securenodes.zensystem.io
- post questions/issues in #securenodes.

For those of you who snuck onto the beta servers
Be sure to checkout the master branch instead of dev branch.

Note on IPv6 systems
If you have an issue connecting to the regional servers there is a script available that will update your nodes host file periodically with the addresses of the servers.  Please see this post http://www.zen-solutions.io/ipv6-dns-host-file-and-server-addressing/


2. We have a guide for setting up one secure node, if one wanted to have more secure nodes, do you have to have a vps for every node, or can you have lets say 2 or more nodes on one vps?
1 node = 1vps = 1 public IPv4/6
3. It says that the requirements are 4 GB ram and more, solid cpu, windows 7 or better. But if you have more secure nodes say 5, 10, 20 or even a 100 do you have to have better system and hardware configuration that this?
You have to have 1IPv4/6 for each VM, 400GB ram and 100CPU for 100Node Wink

Any idea when a good wallet will come out now that Eleos is toast and I have always had issues with any swing wallet (Except Hush).  Would love to see Zen added to Exodus or even Eden!!  I just really hate leaving my Zen on an exchange!
Eleos is now deprecated!

Swing wallet working flawlessly, I don't know what kind of problem do you have, please describe it to me.

We also have Arizen wallet: https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/arizen

Exchanges especially those where you don't have access to private keys are not recommended for storing values!

yeah thought so,doesnt hurt to ask Smiley All of my rigs are on windows because less drivers hustle,no nods for me untill i get dedicated pc for it
Thx for answering MedaR
Yes considering requirements this should be dedicated machine. Best choice would be renting VPS.

I love the project and want to get involved. I was thinking of trying to setup a securenode but I think it may be too technical for me unless there is an entry level guide available. Any ideas on how I get involved and support this project?
Every help is welcomed.

For start join Discord and try to learn more about, invite for discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/9kXQFHx

If you have good ideas you can present them to community through proposals. This is good way for starting new funded projects.

Rob @f1npunk is performing a series of blockchain workshops and introducing ZEN in Tahiti for a symbiotic project called Sea Steading


You probably wonder what is Sea Steading?

The Seasteading Institute signed a memorandum of agreement with French Polynesia to build a floating platform in a Tahitian lagoon. The ideology behind Seasteading Institute and ZEN are aligned. Seasteading Institute is looking at blockchain technology to be implemented in their first floating island.

Zen and Seasteading are symbiotic projects, Rob is there as a blockchain advisor and has been an ambassador for seasteading for a few years.

More on Seasteading: https://www.seasteading.org

Because windows is far from being a secure system I entered into the crypto world Tongue
But, I would still try to run a node on windows, on  my own server (not a hosted VM with 1 proc and 1GB RAM).
As long as you don't keep ~43 ZEN on it can't see any major issue.

Swing is slow and always use 7-10% of my i7. Terrible wallet IMO
