CryptoCurrency Mining Strategies and What I am Mining Sept 2017 - by Rolf Versluis.

Maybe it is a little bit of topic, but can be applied to ZEN so I'm posting this as support for ZEN miners. It is very useful video anyway!

How long time do you think ZEN need's to develop to get greather value ? Whats your guys time and price predictions ?
Im new to crypto (2 months), have some IT skill's and ZEN was my first choice for mining and investing..so far ppl start to listen to me and invest in ZEN Smiley
I would like this thread to stay clean from price speculations, we already have one here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2078049.new#new and according to rules it is located in speculations.

Yes ZEN is like a magnet for new members, I think video updates and transparency are the best approach, and already showing results.

I invested in zen today, i think its a great coin at this price

This is definitely a right decision my friend! I congratulate you on this decision but do not forget that you do not expect a big gain in the short term! If you invested a long term, you could not make a better decision!

Guys, as part of usability and market acceptance of zencash have you reached out to private internet access vpn service? As the biggest vpn provider in the market they already accept zcash so it could be a good one to lobby. I sent them a request anyway so if they keep getting peppered with requests they might come around

Here is the response I got from PIA btw

"Currently, we have no information available regarding possible upcoming changes to our service such as new server locations, Payment methods, services, features, etc. However, I'll send a note to our developers regarding your request; if an idea is requested often enough and is viable, they may consider it for future development.

Best Regards,
T.J.
Customer Support Agent
Private Internet Access™"

This is positive news if they keep getting requested by the community, but the coin probably needs a bit more development before then IMO

Mining generates SELL pressure
Security node owning generates BUY pressure

Taking a miners side via 88% / 3.5% ratio is ridiculous.. and it's already shown on charts.
Please, reconsider it! Make it at least 65 / 25 .. and all the miners will be happy too, cause they will mine an expensive currency..

P.S Those calculator screenshots are wrong. Rise the "Number of Security Nodes" until you get "Annual ROI in ZEN" around 10-15% and you'll get the correct picture..
You have good point, but nobody says this won't be subject of discussions when nodes become ready, and tests ended successfully. This team is proud with its transparency and every suggestion will be taken in consideration. We are open for all suggestions, especially if they are with good references, and explanations.
My thoughts are similar, and as person interested in node setup, I will vote for increasing reward for sure. I would like to see increasing of this reward with increasing of number of a nodes. We must find perfect balance with the miners, this is main problem.
I would like to see system where this prize is automatically retargeted and increased with changing of number of total nodes this can protect small node owners and miners from whales and manipulations.

For those who aren't already on Slack and would like to see the payout change, please join and voice your're concerns. You may have a very good point and the founders have said it is all subject to change. They do listen and welcome all feedback.

It really does seem like secure node operators are expected to run them for little profits,for it to be successful nodes need to be rewarded appropriately since there value to the network is big so should the rewards,as it stands node operators will get scraps compared to the value they add,if later down the road zen is worth hundreds of dollars the rewards could be looked at again but for that sort of prices we are probably couple years away,up the amount of zen needed to run a secure node to 100 zen and better reward Zen nodes

I will run 10 diffrent VPS's but there must be better monthly reward...
Better monthly reward will come through better price per ZEN unit. Number of coins necessary for one node actually is not so important. This situation will result with more nodes, and this is whole point, to have many nodes and secure network.


For example this estimates were made when ZEN was 4$, and now is around 10$, 100% rise!
One thing I don't get; the more nodes there will be, the less reward will be given? Or this is not true?  Huh

If I look at the chart I am very bullish on ZEN now. People have started to know about this coin and about the fact that it is an improvement of previous coins it is derived from. Just like Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthal Smiley

Here is a guide on how to set up Secure Node testing. Moving to beta phase soon, where payouts will be made with testnet ZenCash. There are two parts to the setup. One is getting the TLS certificate working, the other is setting up the Tracking application:

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






great guide there.
I Hope beta release soon

I know a bit about mining but Nodes are new to me. Do you need 1 VPS for every node? So If i Had 84 coins Would I need 2x5= 10$ a month for VPS's?
Can I run nodes from my mining PC?

I hope so, I don't think to ask each node have a separate IP is a reasonable demand. There's no way I'm going to set up 10 different nodes on 10 different VPS.

OFC you need diffrent IP for every node, its not a pool where you can run diffrent workers from on IP.
