BlockOPS blog is obsolete

Why not set a node yourself? It may look difficult first seen, but there is all info needed on their blog or BlockOPS blog too.
In case there is a step you struggle they can help you

I prefer a lot to see the team working for a long-term solution rather than something that will last 2 weeks lol


I know about this one https://chainsaw.ninja/. There are few others services, I usually stumble upon on the Discord channel

Strange how some accusations can be thrown without facts, and this comes from an supporter who yesterday wanted to join Campaign. I understand your anger but some posts here are exaggerated.


 - Security of this project is priority
 - This project is not all about mining
 - There are a lot of things need to be done in coming period, we are sticking for the road map.

Quote from above means we alredy are working on our own solutions for this problem - long term solution, instead of rushing into something that can cause us  more problems and potential security vulnerabilities.  BlockDAG is meant to collapse difficulty. It was always meant to be the long term solution to mining centralization.

The current decision was based on a parameter change that was a very short-term action. We are hoping to start the DAO implementation Q4 of this year, so you will have chance to vote fairly for any kind of changes you want.

Hi guys.

Do you have a list posted somewhere about services providing Zen node set up?

I think you need to replace "puwaha" with "dmwardjr" in your statement... then it will be true.  I'm not the one who claims some tin-foil hat conspiracy and then tries to dance around with information that has nothing to do with the original claim.

It's quite the opposite actually.  You were called out on your NSA tin-foil hat nonsense, and you think that by going on and on about how much you know about telecommunications will prove that you are right.  Nothing that you have talked about in the last two pages makes it possible for the NSA to spy on your computer by simply plugging it into the wall.  A computer does not have the physical capacity to do what you insinuate without specialized hardware built with specific communication protocols.

Where is it specifically in your computer?



Sure, everyone's heard of smart appliances... but they were built with the capability to do so.  You computer is not.



Yell and scream all you want.  You cannot demonstrate that any component in your computer can be turned into a modem.  It doesn't matter if the NSA can put a signal on your power line, if there is nothing in your computer that can act on it.



I agree... you should just stop.  You can't demonstrate any way that this is possible on your computer.  All you have demonstrated is that with specialized equipment that conforms to a smart appliance standard it could be possible... but your computer is not built like that.



The challenge still stands.  You keep dancing around it.

The Zen Blockchain Foundation is the legal entity that allocates Treasury funds. One of our active projects is to provide our community visibility on how the funds are allocated -- (% of funds allocated for engineering, marketing, team compensation, integrations, etc.). Currently, the Foundation delegates authority to team leadership/directors on the use and prioritization of budget. Soon resource allocation decisions will be made by the DAO. Our DAO is still experimental, and we'll likely incrementally increase the resources available for the DAO. Meaning, when the DAO goes live in production it may not have 100% of the funds available to vote on. Blockchain technology and decentralized governance are experimental. We will proceed with caution and release a MVP that will require tuning and refinement. Ultimately, we look forward to the day when we successfully implement our DAO and have a programmatic liquid democracy in place! Furthermore, our team leadership consists of respective individuals in their fields. We do not need to compromise our combined 70 years of experience and reputation.

It only became a design flaw when it was demonstrated to be exploitable.  Until then, it was a genius way to speed up instruction execution.  Software engineers who work on kernel exec have a responsibility in this too.  They were the ones who recognized a problem in the way they designed kernel security and tried to randomize address space to keep an exploit mitigated.

This is not a problem of subterfuge from the beginning, but of a retrospect understanding that kernels that don't specifically address a lack of security in chip design could be exploited.

Seriously?  Pulsating DC is not AC.  It does not reverse polarity... it's just DC that is pulsed... turned off an on.  The direction never changes.  Who's the fool again?

If you can't keep it civil, then I'm sure you are a peach to work with in the real world.




Nothing you have written has explained your claim that the NSA can spy on you by simply plugging in your computer to a wall socket.  You keep going on and on about phone communications, and it has nothing to do with what your claim is about.  No signal is modulated, sent backwards through your power supply, is then re-modulated into AC so that the NSA can spy on you.

You keep dancing around the point trying to show how smart you are.  You bring up a non-sequitur involving phone communications to try and back your way into the fact that what you claim the NSA can do is impossible.

There are now a few miners that controls about all the mined coins, and that are trying to sell to the suckers...

And there is a guy screaming that we can focus on nodes, it is like to say to keep the crumbs, while big ASIC industry controls almost all the cake.

The price of Zen is falling everyday. a coins that was steady at 30/35 USD for months is now below 20USD, and with no perspective of beeing better at mid-term.

This project to me is marching to letargy, not to say worst.

Was a project i liked a lot, but now that was "sold" to ASIC industry i doubt that this will see bright days.

And it is sad to me, because i had great expectations with this project, and now i have to look arround in order to find a better one, maybe monero....

Devs don´t mind because they have a 10% piece of cake to them, and "maybe", "maybe" a free batch of ASIC miners to them....

dmwardjr let it go man, its one and done.

Nice little mention on CoinDesk:

Wow! dmwardjr's alter-ego is just as angry as he is, probably a Qanon peddler, and a devout Tramp supporter as well. Make Zencash Great Again Needless to say I stopped reading dmwardjr's posts a while ago when he turned poison.

I'm not insinuating that at all, Ass hole.  I'm simply saying they're using marketing stunts to insinuate people will have privacy if things are done THEIR way; when all I'm saying is THEY WON'T and they are marketing HALF TRUTHS.

IGNORANCE ON THE PART OF USERS IS BLISS!  In what way?  It's blissful for the developers and founders because the developers and founders are the ones making all the money from the ignorant ones when marketing with HALF TRUTHS.  No?

And to be honest; I would NOT accept a damn dime from them if they wanted me to join the team to help.  NOT AFTER THEY SCREWED THE COMMUNITY WHO SUPPORTED AND MARKETED FOR THEM.  But you go ahead and brown nose because I'm not.  I don't like shit on my nose.  The shit the founders have done freaking stinks.  I don't see how you stand brown nosing with the way the shit they have done stinks.

Bottom line:  I'm a man of PRINCIPLES.  I actually VALUE my reputation.  If they offered me millions of dollars to join their team I would not do it if it meant marketing with HALF TRUTHS.  Yes, they can keep data private on the internet IF IT'S ON THEIR BLOCKCHAIN.  However, CAN THEY keep governments; institutions; corporations from seeing that data BEFORE it ever gets on their precious blockchain?  If they SOLVE THAT, THEY ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE.

Puwaha is trying to insinuate that everything will go belly up if u dont pay him. I have personally known the guy for 70 decades and I struggle to remember anybody who could vouch for this guys words or behavior. When he was serving in the military Obama asked him to dispatch only two troops to Iraq to track down and nail members of a wealthy muslim family. This guy ordered 20 troops to go after one single family. He sucks at math.

You're so full of shit, dude.  For someone who CLAIMS to be a damn electrical engineer, YOU DON"T KNOW SHIT.  ESPECIALLY, About transmission.  I'm not going to bother trying to explain it to you IN DETAIL because you want to PRETEND like you know what the hell you're talking about when you don't.  You do NOT deserve my time.

EXAMPLE OF MANY BELOW:

You do NOT even realize the telephone line is POWERED BY DC, dude.  Do you?  It's 48 to 52 Volts DC.  However, when we talk it is AC.  When you press buttons to dial out, those are Dual Tone Multiple Frequencies (DTMF Tones).  Those tones are AC, Dude that's riding on the same damn two wires as the DC that's powering the circuit.  That's only one example of MANY.

Do you not realize when we talk on the telephone line, it is AC but IT IS POWERED BY DC.  Meaning, AC AND DC ARE BOTH ON THE SAME COMPONENTS (WIRE - COPPER).

YOU"RE FULL OF SHIT AND NOT WORTHY OF MY TIME.  STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU KNOW SOMETHING WHEN YOU DON"T

Your precious DC current is powering even old rotary phones with 48 to 52 volts DC on the phone line.  That's WHY you can still have dial tone with an old rotary phone when the power is out to your house.  Well, that precious DC current of yours can be converted into AC current when you talk on the damn phone by an oscillator by varying the capacitance when your voice bounces off the diaphragm to change the distance between the metal in the diaphragm and the metal in the oscillator.  Metal plates separated by an insulator is a capacitor.  But BOTTOM LINE:  AC is on the Tip and Ring WITH YOUR PRECIOUS DC THAT YOU SAID, "NONE OF WHICH IS POSSIBLE."  Actually, you're full of shit and do not even know it.

I don't know why I'm even bothering wasting my time explaining this to you.  You're a damn ass hole who wants to act like he knows every damn thing.  I will tell you this:  If I do not know something, I won't hesitate to tell you, "I DO NOT KNOW THAT" and I will NOT feel bad about not knowing it.  I'll simply invest the time to get to know it if I feel it's worthy of my time to know it.  That way, I avoid wasting someone else's time and I also avoid making a damn fool of myself; pretending I know something if I really don't.

I'm sure there are things you know that I don't know.  Does that make you any smarter than me or I than you if I know something you don't?  HELL NO.

So, STOP PRETENDING like you know something when you don't.  IF YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE OF SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO AVOID MAKING A FLAT STATEMENT.  Because it really doesn't look good if you're wrong.  No?
