Almost 4 years have passed.  losers

Can someone tell CryptoChef to stop banning users that think differently than him on the telegram group ?

Free miner with sourcecode. 30% faster


https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer-zp/releases/

I have modded the gpu miner to run 30-40% faster on the old gpu's.

Don't miss out on your chance to buy 10% of the tokens for only 1BTC !   

Hi 
only 83% from ICO, not bad. 

Crazy no activity in this thread what's sup with this coin

Discord does not want a phone number. And now they are in the process of avoiding advertising so they can buy back the cheap coins as planned. Any hint of unfairness on their part is related to ban, which is not so easy in Discord, where everyone can instantly make a new account.

How can there not be a discord at this point.
Telegram is simply inefficient.

Where can check the circulationg supply and total supply?

Yeap!
Please see this GPU Pools for ZP:

Leafpool

PandaPool

i'm looking on this project, i will plan to create a pool for zp

Hi,

Are there any pools available except leafpool? I can't make their miner run. Another miner gotten off github won't connect to their pool.
Running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS CUDA 9.2.

please

Good afternoon. In any case, everything will be. But I want to see the best activity of the coin, while I do not see it. I wish everyone good luck.

Team is active, community is active. Only today, listed to CMC.
Give some time for the project to gain momentum, omg.
So childish, pajeet.

Here We go the Telegram group : https://t.me/zenprotocol

What I dont  get it, how to swap ICO tokens to mainnet? or just claim it?

https://blog.zenprotocol.com/we-are-proud-to-present-the-official-zen-protocol-wallet-a0789f5dbf08

Owh I got it : Enter your 24 word mnemonic passphrase (seed) that you received in the crowdsale when setting up your wallet.

Exchanges:
Bilaxy (exchange): http://bilaxy.com/
Top.One (exchange): https://www.top.one/tradingCenter  

And for exchange, why there is no big exchange for $44 Million ICO Crowd Sale?

It's a lie.
I participated in the mainnet launch and saw the first blocks, there wasn't pre-mining.

Anyone can confirm this?

Trading live?where?
Seems a bit unique tech.

The project has a really nice look to it, from the overall look to the concept. I think it has a lot of potential and scalability.

I have looked I have looked at the team for a bit, and i like that they cover many different fields, and the advisors are also skilled in various technologies. The project has a really nice look to it, from the overall look to the concept.

I think that these types of projects are extremely useful for the rest of the projects that are already there and those that are still to come. I think it has a lot of potential and scalability.

Will there be a discord?

There was no premining you complete idiots.

GPU miners were made by people outside of the team using the testnet to try their miners out.

Well...
I was online in the zen test group in Telegram when the mainnet was released.
Through zen-node version 0.9.1 (cli version, without gui) I saw the launch of block 5 in the blockchain, so I don't believe there was any pre-mining.

This is true unfortunatelly.

SUPER PREMINE WARNING!!!


DEVELOPERS ALREADY MINING WITH GPU VIA NEW API COMMIT THAT ISN'T IN PUBLIC RELEASE!

I cannot wait for mainnet

Before June 30th we will publish the official Zen Protocol Wallet. The newest wallet will automatically sync with the Genesis block.

You are going to have to wait until it is listed unfortunately.

Unfortunately I missed the ICO but would like to purchase ZEN. Is there any method to purchase ZEN prior to a listing on an exchange?

this is a very great project,compared to others who are just focusing to compete with btc.I'm gonna support this.Good luck team keep it up.

just invested some btc on this, lets see how it is goes.

this will be great for erc20 project, I think
very interesting, I will see the further development of this project, a very good idea to follow this project
good luck

Better to contact with team via telegram. As you can see there is not much attention to bct as team are very busy during crowdsale. Thanks

Hi Devs,

I have installed the alpha version and have been messing around with it a bit. I left the wallet open overnight and this morning noticed these messages:

Hi. There is no Demo App. Zen has the alpha version of their blockchain which you can check here: https://alpha.zenprotocol.com/

where can I find demo app?

This project is completely under the radar and getting nowhere near as much attention as it deserves on the forum here, but the tokens are selling out super fast to some very smart investors!

Good luck to everyone involved hopefully the main net will launch on time successfully

Currently no bounty, but we are open to cooperation for promoting our product. If you want to send a proposal to [email protected] or message me on telegram at @IsRod we can try to set something up.

Looks very interestin. Do you guys plan to create a bounty campaign?

Wallet should be working on Linux, Mac, and Windows. If you have problems it may be because you have an old version.

If uninstalling and installing current version does not work, please send me a message on Telegram or join the group and I can help you with troubleshooting. - @zenprotocol @IsRod

this project seems serious but the wallet still don't work..

Thanks! Feel free to ask any questions about the platform.

Thanks for trying the client! There's an open issue on Github. If you want to add details there, we'd really appreciate it.

Independent review of ZEN ICO for german speakers: https://cryptogo.de/zen-protocol/

Very interesting project.
the market cap: 100 million Zen tokens X 2.75 $
I will follow

Zen Protocol is a blockchain built for finance. Just as Bitcoin is designed as peer-to-peer money, Zen Protocol is designed for peer-to-peer trade, giving you total control over your financial assets.

Zen is built from the ground up to help developers write fast, scalable and reliable smart contracts. The codebase is written from scratch in F#, C#, and our own language, ZF*, a dialect of the language F*, designed by Microsoft Research and Inria for provably correct programming. ZF* makes advanced security techniques like formal verification natural to use. Zen Protocol's contracts can react to events on the Bitcoin blockchain – meaning that Bitcoiners can use Zen's financial system without third parties or intermediaries.

Status
The Zen Protocol testnet is up and running, with code and binaries on Github.



Features

Bitcoin integration
Zen Protocol watches the Bitcoin network. Anything that happens in the Bitcoin blockchain can trigger contracts on the Zen blockchain. Zen can act as a sidechain to Bitcoin, using a federated peg, collateral deposit, or, in the future, mechanisms like Drivechain. Zen Protocol uses the full Bitcoin consensus, storing a record of the valid Bitcoin chain with most proof of work.

Fast, Secure Smart Contracts
Contracts are fast and safe. Zen Protocol makes them fast by proving how long they take to run, which means there's no need for a "gas" system. With no need to count gas, Zen Contracts are compiled to machine code, making them an order of magnitude faster. Here's our post on how we make this possible. Here's the code we do it with.

Contracts are safe by design. There's no global state, no accounts system: the Zen Protocol uses a UTXO design, like Bitcoin's, in which contracts store their own data on transaction outputs. The ZF* language also makes it easy for developers to formally verify contracts, in the same language that they write them in. That makes it possible to prove smart contract exploits can't happen.

Multi Hash Mining
Multi Hash Mining is a new way of using many hash functions in Proof of Work mining. Each hash function gets its own difficulty, which adjusts over time to target a hash function ratio. The different hash functions don't have to be used in a set order: if too many blocks are mined using a function then its difficulty increases. Holders of the Zen Native Token can vote to say what the ratio should be. This creates matching incentives for miners and users of the Zen Protocol.

Read our proposal paper on multi hash mining.

Oracles
Our oracle solution is fast, efficient, and profitable for oracle operators. Oracles can commit to gigabytes of data in a single, 200-byte transaction. Oracle users then pay the oracle operator for each individual piece of data they want to use. The only data which gets written to the blockchain are those which users pay for.

Native token use and issuance
Zen's native token is used to activate contracts. Contracts are pay-per-block, meaning they don't use network resources that they don't pay for. The token is also used to vote on what mix of hash functions should be used in Zen Protocol's PoW.

Out of 100 million Zen tokens that will ever exist, 20 million will be created in the genesis block. The remaining 80 million are issued on a six-year halving schedule.

Token Sale and Genesis Block
Full details of the Zen Protocol Sale are available in our blog post.
Twelve million tokens are available for sale, at a price of USD 2.75 per token. This price will be converted into a price in Bitcoins on the 28th of November, 2017. Our pre-sale offers between a 5% and 15% discount, depending on the total purchase size. The token sale begins on the 30th of November, 2017, 16:00 UTC. The sale will run for up to one month.

Team
In no particular order: Adam Perlow, Asher Manning, Doron Somech, Elan Perach, Eleanor Milstein, Isaac Rodgin, Nathan Cook (topynate), and Sharon Urban.

Announcements
All major announcements appear on our blog. We recommend joining the official Telegram group for live updates. We'll also monitor and update this Bitcointalk thread.
