Why fork off of Zclassic? Why not just create Zen as a new blockchain. Now it looks like a way to pump the Zclassic price before block 100000.
Zclassic is a 1:1 match for Zcash without the founders reward. Alot of us on the team wanted to add new features and functionalities to Zclassic that would break the 1:1 parity. Zen is just an evolution of Zclassic with these new features that we wanted to put in and we're keeping Zclassic true to its 1:1 parity with Zcash.
