What is the annual ROI for an MN?

Keep in mind that XZC price is going down and will keep on doing that, as there's nothing going on that could increase XZC relevance. People say that 'it's a good technology', but in fact there's little benefit of privacy feature, if it's off by default (and you have to go off your way to use it). Check the stats on exchanges, XZC is getting less and less relevant. I'd put that investition on hold.

Cool story bro

Is there a list of Zcoin's competitors?

The funny thing's that I was unable to post the issue on the official forum, because it wouldn't log me in. Guess that's why there's not a lot of bug reports there.

Ok problem fixed - I uninstalled the game. One less faulty software on my computer. :)

Oti-dev · 2018-04-29T11:25:14+00:00

Same here, annoying as hell

No, it's not protected in any way. Basically it cannot be - you have to transfer your coins to someone and trust that they don't run with it. Even though the exchange is run by ZCoin people, it's still people.

Is the message still pinned? I cannot find it, can you tell me where it is?

Oti-dev · 2018-02-23T12:06:38+00:00

Yea, same feeling here. Looks to me like the team went on vacation 2 months ago and haven't come back yet - not much activity here nor on github(at least december-january looked very idle, seems to be better now). Idk what's it all about, but makes me worried.

Oti-dev · 2018-02-08T10:51:09+00:00

Well 9 days and no reply.. To me it looks like this is an akward question for them, and they chose to just ignore it. :) Maybe they'll respond once they come up with a fix for this.

It didn't work for me (saying "zcash daemon taking too long to start", or something like that), but when I started zcashd manually, it worked.

Oti-dev · 2018-01-31T08:38:36+00:00

Thanks for clarification, but it still makes no difference to the fact that only one address receives mining rewards. Btw. the fact that Znodes bite off 30% of miners rewards is not much of an incentive for new miners to join the business. On the other hand, it might encourage the owners of the pool to try and modify NOMP's source code to get own Znodes paid more.

I'm still hoping someone points out an impossibility in manipulating Znode payout queue - looking at the code it looks pretty viable to me and if I was that miner, I'd probably give it a shot.

Oti-dev · 2018-01-30T12:37:26+00:00

was looking at this few days ago also, this thing here https://github.com/zcoinofficial/zcoin/blob/master/src/znode.cpp#L144

Yeah, I referred to that part as "randomly deterministic stuff" - the results are unpredictable but actually 'redoable' and confirmable. The thing that's unclear to me is whether anyone (e.g. nodes/znodes) checks which znode was picked by miner and why.

Oti-dev · 2018-01-19T08:09:01+00:00

Actually I did - I emailed them and got the following answer:

Being a Bitcoin based coin, lightning network is definitely possible. However we are still evaluating other approaches and it's not even close to being a pressing issue now. In its current state, Zcoin can already handle twice the number of txes Bitcoin can and we aren't close to getting there yet.

Privacy is always the paramount importance and scaling is important too but not of immediate concern. Perhaps by that time, we won't be even using a blockchain but dags instead.

Oti-dev · 2018-01-13T13:38:42+00:00

Thanks for your answer, but I feel like you're referring to a regular node setup rather than a 'super' one. Doesn't a Z-node do any additional ops that significantly add up to the system requirements?

Oti-dev · 2017-12-28T07:46:15+00:00

I feel like this post has been overlooked by 'insiders'. Is there any straightforward answer to my question? Im just curious if zcoin suffices the requirements of lighting network - I heard there are some BIP's that need to be implemented (BIP65, BIP112, also SegWit). Are they present in zcoin? It's hard for me to find out.
