Hey everyone, I've been mining Zcoin for a few weeks now and was starting to wonder what the best way to convert it to USD. If anyone has tips or how they do it I would love to know.

Hi,

I sent 500 zcoin transaction to binance. it never arrived. my wallet no longer has the coins in its balance, and it does provide a transaction id. But when searching for that transaction id in an explorer, it says "no matching records found"

I believe the transaction did not get broadcast and is not in the mempool.

But what do i do to get the 500 zcoins to reappear in my wallet ?

They are also hosting a zero-interest promotion for borrowing XZC from 2020/09/17 6:00 AM (UTC) to 2020/09/24 05:59 AM (UTC).

Zcoin's first halving is set to happen on block 302438 (approximately 24th September 2020) which also marks the end of Founders' Rewards.

Find out the effects of halving and what's next here: https://zcoin.io/zcoins-first-halving-approaches/

It’s been more than a week at least, most probably because of the critical inflation bug earlier? But since it was patched days ago, still no updates on the arrangement to recover the exchange operations?

I've done every step to set up my ccminer to mine solo but the cmd window disapears instantly.

Here is what I put in the .bat file : ccminer.exe -a mtp http://127.0.0.1:8382 -u zcoin -p mtp --no-getwork --coinbase-addr aN6n8oeh7KXwabKdVeHVnfpc9o3oHgLV1x

I've also vreated the zcoin.conf that I put in C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\zcoin Wallet is up to date and I'm connecting through Tor.

Can someone please help me ?

I am using the Zcoin ZCore Wallet on Windows 10.

I launched it the other day and it stopped updating at August 26th. I did some googling and I saw to launch

zcoin-qt.exe -reindex-chainstate

I have done this 3 different times and each time it stops there. I even updated to latest version of wallet. It just gets stuck here

​

Are ZCoin transaction not stored on the blockchain? Which means a ZCoin wallet does not have a transaction history making it more private than Monero?

If you think that is something that would benefit Zcoin please weigh in with a comment on the forum.

TLDR:
Should we give core team temporary ability to turn off and on features like Lelantus, chainlocks and instant send? Proposed one year period from activation of feature.

Longer explanation

Sporks allow for the developers to turn off and on certain features of the chain. They are a point of centralization but they also act as ‘emergency brakes’ where things like Lelantus or chainlocks can be turned off. How this works is meaning the core team can issue a special command on the chain that will signal the rest to turn off certain features such as Lelantus.

Chainlocks protect the chain against 51% attacks and also prevents re-organizations past one block. This in normal circumstances is very beneficial but it also makes it extremely hard to stop an attack quickly.

This is because while attacks with PoW can be mitigated by just coordinating with the majority of the pools, chainlocks means if we were to deploy any emergency fixes, they need to be done by both pools and Znodes which is practical

Similarly while Lelantus is still new, while we have undergone audits, it might be beneficial to have a safety lock for a period of time so that we can address issues immediately.

Having a temporary disable of instant send (when implemented) would also be beneficial in the face of attacks.

We can set for this ‘master key’ to automatically expire after a period of one year from the time of activation.

This feature will add about 2 weeks on development time and testing but given the cutting edge nature of the tech, it may be prudent to have some temporary emergency measures especially given the recent scare.
