ThirtyK-> After Cyber Attack, Cryptocurrency ZenCash Fights Back

“The longest chain rule, or Satoshi Consensus, worked well in the relatively decentralized environment in which it was introduced in 2009,” ZenCash’s white paper says. “Mining resources have since concentrated and dropped in cost for lease, such that the original dominant strategy of playing by the rules no longer holds for all proof-of-work (PoW) blockchains that rely on the longest chain rule.”

The big privacy coins all have great developers. I don't know if one really has a huge edge over the others.

I see, thank you. It's just because I have a problem with my CPU filled to 100% and not really sure where to look at

All node operators, exchanges, and pool operators must update from the previous version before June 28th when the current version is deprecated and will stop working (at block 332576).

True, blockchain can change things, maybe it's just that many people who do not understand about this technology is very important. But at least this is good news.

High-performing units like Z9 or A9 is recommended. High difficulty by default.

Tips:
- If you need separate workers to identify, you can add for example to password field which will show up on pool frontend when searching for your wallet.

Right now I don't know but last month it was still here. I guess it will be fixed with the next release. Don't worry, the dev. team is perfectly active working

Open your eyes folks!  GPU mining days are over.  The smart folks already look at GPU mining like we've been looking CPU mining.  Hoping and pressuring developers to fork so you can still mine with GPU at the expense of the stability of the blockchain, shows your true intentions were always about profits.  Open your eyes folks, GPU mining is dead.       

The first fork coming closer and closer.

Regarding this well known blog:
https://blog.zencash.com/zencash-statement-on-potential-equihash-algorithm-change/

"The timing of the change will be based on how quickly a second hard fork can be successfully completed after the ZenCash upgrade in July 1.  The team is working to do this within 4-6 weeks after the July 1 hard fork, and will determine a more precise date as the potential event gets closer.

The ZenCash development team, in collaboration with the community, reserves the right to review and change the decision to Hard Fork, especially if it is determined that changing the Equihash-144-5 algorithm will not be effective in promoting decentralization of mining."

The blog is nearly 2 month old now. Are there any results of the evaluation process (change/not change the algorithm), which can be announced to the community?

I hope the ZENCash team will fork the chain to equihash-144-5 algo, because I support the project for a long time and don't wan't to see my GPU-Rigs are obsolete in the future. Furthermore I don't sell any ZEN I mined since I'am involved in ZEN mining --> but I sell all my ZEC, because I think they move in the wrong direction.

In my opinion a simple reason for ASIC resistance is the following: the decentralization is realized by many private community members mining with their own graphics cards in their houses. Not many of them will buy an ASIC for mining. ASICs shift the main hashpower to the bigger players... But that will shrink the community clearly. Additional, the bigger players just sell their coins to get the profits of mining, but with a larger community some more people (like me) will HODL their coins because they don't only see mining profits and they see all the functionality behind the simple "Mine->Sell"-thing.

The ZEN-Team is a very competent Dev-Team and I hope continue the their great work on ZENcash.

Hey guys anyone to tell me if the zencash team fixed the bug from zcash with deamon? A memory leak or something like that

Nice one. I agree the blockchain technology can help the countries with oppressive regimes and censorship. People forget there are countries where privacy doesn't exist

European Conference Trio: OSLO-AMSTERDAM-ESSEN

Arno Pfefferling, Zen’s Central European lead, traveled across Europe for three months to represent Zen at several conferences. He’d like to share his account of the road trip from Oslo, Norway; to Amsterdam, Netherlands; and finally Essen!

It's one of the good points about zencash. With over 50 people in the team spreading zencash via conferences, meetings etc it helps a lot.
Another thing is the team is focused on the community as well

C. Hoskinsons says Zencash is his favorite privacy coin on Twitter
