So what is your opinion of the super-node? I think the current secure-node is ok, maybe the secure-node will pay for itself, mining sure as hell don't pay,
Now with the antminer for zcash, there is no point of mining, even if you have one of those boxes, let alone graphics cards,
ZEN will go south of $1, and I will pickup the 500 and setup a super-secure node for the hell of it,
With regards to "HORIZEN" the problem I have with that name is that HORIZEN is the dumbest, worst, most unsafe airline in the USA, why would you want to name your 'coin' after a loser that hires morons to fly and maintain airplanes?
It goes to show that TEAM-ZEN wasn't interested in marketing, that they brought in 'experts' who gave them a kardashian 'makeover', and left them with HIV,
Hey first rule in TECH is "If it works, don't fix it", I think before the marketing BULLSHIT began, ZEN was cool, now its like positioning itself for what? Morons? Newbs? Losers?
Early on ZEN, had it right focus on privacy/security, but then some test marketing people came in and said "This is not what sells", "Sex Sells", so now you have Horizen, the sexy new-millenial coin, just like their website, its clear that most of their 'work' goes into marketing and that damn website, how about some back-end coding guys? I now that brought out super-node, but really they need to step back to what got traction, and stick with that,
The corporation don't want security or privacy, they want open transactions, so everybody can see what you buy, where your at, ... blah-blah, ZEN bought its market-share on the promise of PRIVACY, and now they're telling us that its no longer important, now they're telling us that WHORE-CIA-ZEN is just plain sexy.
They say that MONERO/ZCASH is used by al-cia-duh, but ISIS is CIA, the ZEN people are cool because they come from NAVY-INTEL, which are every bit as smart as CIA or NSA; The potential is here don't screw-up ZEN with panzy bs.
Regarding rebrand I have posted "all about", few posts above.
We have T and Z transactions, so users can choose, but don't forget that Privacy is your right so you should have a choice at least.
Horizen is open for all, but we are trying to simplify it for ordinary users and this will be probably be done with our new flagship wallet.
Horizen has more nodes than any other project on market, Horizen is platform and those nodes will be used for applications built on side chains.
Your statement regarding TECH is completely false, TECH without improvements is destined to be obsolete. Tomorrow it won't be important who was the first, you have various example from history, and many technologies from past are improved by others more sucesfull companies..
