We are pleased to release v0.1.8 of Zcoin which fixes the following issues:

  • Wallet loading times improved greatly. First loading time after install/reinstall will still take hours but subsequent loads will take minutes.
  • Fixed compile issue for MacOS

Please head to our Releases page to download the updated binaries which are available for Windows and Mac. Linux binary will be released later today. If you wish to compile your own binary, you can do so from the Github.

The reason why the initial load still takes such a long time is due to a full verification to ensure there are no Zerocoin double-spends.


thank you!

Please don't confuse the old inactive Slack (zcoin.slack.com) with our current one at https://zcoinofficial.slack.com.

There have been concerns on hashrate being dominated by CPU only which allows people who use/purchase discounted credits (not always legally) to run large cloud mining operations via AWS and similar.

This is against the spirit of having egalitarian computing which is one of the things that MTP was meant to address. As we only expect MTP development completion in March, the devs are considering doing a parameter change to the Lyra2 algorithm which would allow GPU mining to work alongside CPU mining as a temporary measure to address dumping of coins and unfair domination of hashrate.

We are holding a NON BINDING poll to gauge community sentiment that will be one of the factors we shall consider in our decision. We appreciate your feedback. The poll will be conducted in our Slack (http://invite.zcoin.finance:3000) in a separate channel #poll. Please vote responsibly!

Could you also put the link to the slack, not just the invite to people who already are members of that slack, as the url is so weird.

No gpu miner soon .

As I know, This coin has not yet supported for GPU mining , it's only supported for CPU mining.
Maybe it will be supported after MTP algo finished but I do not know when ?

Ok. Thank you for fast reply. I will mine Zcash instead while waiting for GPU mining software.


Waiting also for gpu mining

I want to mine this coin with my GPU but I can not see where the GPU software is for downloading?
so Is this coin supported for mining with GPU or not? Please give me the link. Thank you.

we are actually finding some blocks on maxminers.
but there is definitely room for a few more people to join in.
that would be good.
who wants to defect?  Wink

Tried things our for a while and it looks like we lost some miners and are not gaining new ones!

Unfortunate that more people will not spread the hash rate.

61+ hours and still no block finds

I will give it another day or two and hope we get lucky!

If things do not change by then might have to switch all miners back to the pool with the most concentrated hash



EDIT:     I spoke too soon, looks like we just found a block! Smiley

I though Poramin had already upgraded wallet so that it doesn't lag and so that it syncs faster, it seems like this coin needs a Dev team behind it, because poramin on his own it makes it a little difficult for him.

I guess besides him there's a team? If only one person this will become tough. I do hope this coin willl continue despite recent turmoil, as at least it has some good features and plan for more good features.

Yes it's pushed to dev branch and we are testing but not released yet. We have only been testing it a week and we should get a new release within a week or so. This will have the faster loading time. As mentioned the first loading time will be slow but subsequent loads will be in minutes.

We recently had an additional developer to help us out so Poramin is not alone. Cheesy We hope to recruit more.
it's dangerious that just only poramin alone to develop xzc.

I have downloaded the poramin version but it's so lag and now it's over 24 hour and I see that it was stucked at block 13189 (12 days to go).
How can I do it? how long must I wait for synchronizing?

First loading might take long due to the node. You could add xzc.suprnova.cc node in the mean time for faster loading. We will try to upgrade our seed node but it's not a priority now.

Not defecting, but I am splitting up some of my hash power to make sure all the pools get a fair shake and secure the network.


Its been 32 hours + since the last block so lets hope a few others decide to split up the hash power they have.

Fingers crossed

Thanks! Greatly appreciated Cheesy
