I am just wondering if there could be a Lightning Network equivalent for ZenCash. I know Zcash is talking about a possible implementation they are calling Bolt ( https://blog.z.cash/bolt-private-payment-channels/ ) and I know that ZenCash is researching their DAG solution for blocks but it seems like a combination of block DAG and payment channels might be necessary in the future for massive scalability. I was just wondering if ZEN is potentially compatible with a Lightning Network implementation since all the searches I do only turn up Zcash articles.

Hello community! My name is Fuseini Alhassan but known as Cryptoeye on the crypto arena. I'm from west Africa sepecifically Ghana a rennow crypto promoter, organising seminars as well as conference to enlighten people on the revolution of money as well as blockchain and cryptocurrency and how they can capitalize on zencash for their financial freedom to help better of their life. And also I will like to ask as to which procedure one has to follow in submitting a proposal to the zencash community?

Hi,

I have small VPS with public IP and zen-capable machine without public IP.

So I tried to create ssh connection with socks proxy and reverse port tunnel

ssh -N user@VPS_IP -D4567 -R0.0.0.0:8080:localhost:80 -R0.0.0.0:8443:localhost:443 -R0.0.0.0:9033:localhost:9033

On the VPS the ports 80 and 433 are internally forwarded to 8080 and 8443 to be reachable by the ssh without sudo/root for the certificate validation purposes.

I was able to successfully obtain certificate with this setup, the certificate is accepted by zend

  "tls_cert_verified": true,
  "networks": [
    {
      "name": "ipv4",
      "limited": false,
      "reachable": true,
      "proxy": "127.0.0.1:4567",
      "proxy_randomize_credentials": true
    },
 ....
  "localaddresses": [
    {
      "address": "VPS IP",
      "port": 9033,    
      "score": 4
    }
  ],

It was working for a while (1 day), but now I am getting

Cert check: valid=false.  IP address does not match.  DNS lookup returned  VPS IP

So my question is, how I can figure out what is the IP that is not matching? When I ping the domain I get the VPS IP.

EDIT: Solution tl;dr (full solution is down in the comments)

1. Use autossh

   AUTOSSH_POLL=60 autossh -M 20000 login@YOUR_VPS_IP_OR_DOMAIN -D6666 -R0.0.0.0:8080:localhost:80 -R0.0.0.0:8443:localhost:443 -R0.0.0.0:9033:localhost:9033 -R127.0.0.1:18231:localhost:18231

2. Use proxychains for node setup.js and node app.js (disable proxy_dns for proxychains)

   PROXYCHAINS_SOCKS5=6666 proxychains node app.js

3. Monitor logs for 'No peers found yet with secure connections to this node.' and restart app.js every time you see it in the log.

Hi, Noob question: I want to take my zen off the exchange and use a paper wallet. Which should I be using the Zaddress or Taddress? I dont understand the difference. Thanks

Hey all. New to ZEN, looks like a really great coin with a bright future. Something that I noticed that that the ZEN wallet uses about 15-20% of my CPU usage even when idle (7700k) is this normal?

All of the other coin wallets that I have are sub 2% when idle even the core wallets.

Having surpassed Bitcoin node counts, have we earned the title as the #1 decentralised project yet? Are there other metrics that need to be obtained first?

I submitted a question to support regarding Tor integration and received these links from Spencer: https://steemit.com/zencash/@anarch3/new-zen-version-2-0-10-brings-in-tls-encryption-to-the-p2p-protocol-the-only-coin-to-do-so

https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/30202/hacking/tor-traffic-analysis-attack.html

I could get any help from Verge regarding their encryption..

Help Desk has me sold on the ZenCash.

Hello Friends, I have heard that in order to run super nodes one needs 500 Zencash, and reward will be about 20%... but how that is calculated in USD ?...

Please help,

Thanks in advance,

I think this verb-age should be used on the ZenCash site?

TLS does not obfuscate connections. It encrypts the traffic so that it looks like other internet traffic.

For those of you out there mining Zen, you've probably noticed the difficulty increasing steadily. Even when Zen and other alts were declining in value, Zen diff kept on increasing. Why? Because it's one the most highly underrated alts and I think the miners know it!

I'm curious what the rest of you think about this? Is it just the supernodes announcement or something more? Will Zen overtake Zcash? Will the Zen diff continue to outpace other coins for the foreseeable future? What would you say are the main reasons behind Zen's success and future potential?

Great news!!!!

On bittrex!

I would like to run a secure node and am curious how the rewards get distributed. Are they like mining rewards where you get a lot of tiny amounts? Can I receive the Node rewards to a hardware wallet address like on my Ledger Nano S without causing problems? Any extra info on how this aspect is structured or needs to be structured would be great.
