About the full nodes, do you need to reserve an min amount of Zen? Like 1000 Dash for a masternode?

Any news about bittrex or suprnova swapping the coin on site/exchange?
Will get them to my wallet if none till then... but it would be much convenient that way

It's going to be WAY different to running a Zclassic / Zcash / Zdash node.

Current coins install node routine :- run a home computer / Docker image / server / vps (install a 'nix flavour following u-tube vids); learn minimal amount of 'nix command line; use apt-get and build a couple of times; put some text in some hidden .conf files; job done. Google is your friend - everything you need to know is cut/paste-able - you can even set up a home pool in a day.

Zen masternode - OK, so I have a domain name which Certbot will put a certificate on from letsencrypt - Tick - job done? ...no

Now I need to learn how to put the node behind a reverse proxy to ensure the node traffic traverses the ssl and not bypass it (Google is not your friend because it now expects you to know a LOT more about 'nix, web-servers, coding and networking and most of the guides expect non-free software to 'make it easy'). There is more information on Google about how to make nodes traverse TOR sockets than run an SSL protected node through a reverse proxy.

Oh, and I need to know how to cron script to ensure a transaction is sent between two z-addresses (at a cost of 0.0002 per transaction) every 100 blocks or so?

Come on Zen Dev's, if you want a Node to meet requirements and jump hoops - provide a coded node that does it for your users straight from the git-pull, not a bunch of Linux style man pages that expect a few years of 'nix experience to follow.

Look at your Forum posters - how many are asking about windows wallets and how do you set up a basic node??

Should have that information posted this week. It is not going to be too much different than setting up a zclassic node. Will also need a valid certificate, hold 42 Zen on the node, and be able to send a shielded transaction every few minutes to verify the Secure Node is meeting requirements and keep it active in payment queue.

Practice right now by setting up a zclassic node, getting a cert from letsencrypt, and receiving and sending z_transaction on the node. You should be able to do this on a $5 per month VPS by using swap to get memory above 4GB.

From what I've heard the white paper should be ready in a few days/weeks then I guess we will have all the details concerning node principally, what's sure it will be democratic and it will not request a ton of ZEN to vote, with a DAO type of layer, it should be really interesting. Especially because I think the distribution is very fair, anyone knows what will happen for months, so no surprise get ZCL before complaining the price is too expansive or something like that.

It's not correct, on May 23 will be public launch of ZEN and somewhere on 29 April ZCL will be forked in ZCL and ZEN.
From OP:
Anyone who holds Zclassic prior to block 100,000 (somewhere around April 29, 2017) will be given a 1:1 credit of Zen. This is a result of the Zen genesis originating from the Zclassic blockchain.

Zen will have a public launch event in NYC on May 23rd, 2017 to coincide with Consensus 2017. More details will be released soon.
-------
BTW, somewhere in the thread I saw a fork date was 23 or 24 of April, so can someone clarify it?

On May 23rd, the Zclassic network will execute a purposeful divergence into two blockchains; Zclassic and the newly formed Zen network. Zclassic will retain its original functionality and feature set but the Zen network will be adapted to include segregated witness (segwit) support and additional cryptographic technologies.

This is very good question. Current difference in ZCash vs ZenCash technology is those 2 major things. What is the strategy after 23May? Time after time do same incremental changes than ZCash but with own "Zen flavour"? Or take completely different path aiming where? Is there any concrete example we can chew on what can we expect from Zen?

I would also like to know about the nodes.

ZenCash please provide detailed info about setting up a verified node. These should be made available to the community, not taken up by insiders and devs........which has happened to far too many coins.

depends on the cards you put into it. Did you look at the post and see the hash rate using RX470 and RX480 cards on zclassic? It's doing about 1650 H/s with the RX470 and 1800 H/s with the RX480. Zen will use the same mining algorithm as zclassic and zcash.

how many zen in order to setup masternode ?!

Has anyone done any due diligence on the Zen privacy coin?  What do you think of the market opportunity and/or the technology?

THANKS!

I got this from Bittrex :

Hi,

We are looking into our options with zcl/zen but do not have any concrete decision yet. The new site is coming in a month or two.

Thank you,

Ryan @ Bittrex"

Little off topic: I originally asked why they removed "TOP 50 wallet distribution chart" section from their site as I found it extremely useful to monitor what bigger wallets were doing when trading smaller coins sometimes only listed at Bittrex. I was also worried that there had happened something and they are now in need of hiding wallet distributions. But apparently this was done ahead of new site launch which should be in following months without further explanation.

What is the expected output of this mining rig?

I can of agree, also don't forget it's a community more than a corporation, if anyone is interested to work for the success of this project you can go o Slack and participate, even if you have only few hours by week 

If Zen delivers on the promise it makes, it will be huge. Huge for Zen as well as ZCL.

Awaiting the huge growth of this currency! I can hardly wait! 

You can try Eleos: https://zdeveloper.org/wiki:zcash_zclassic_graphical_wallet . I have tried in windows 10 and it functions.
