ZenCash Update Saturday June 10 at 10 pm eastern

by BlockOps

After updating the security advisory and announcing the hardfork earlier today, some questions came up in slack that it would probably be helpful to answer here on the blog.

When we say we are going to perform a hard fork of ZenCash, what that means is we are going to require all participants in the ZenCash network to do an upgrade to the node software they are running. The upgrade will be required to be implemented by a certain block height, in this case 117,000. Any mining pool or solo miner who is running an older software version that tries to add blocks to the blockchain that will end up with orphaned blocks.

ZenCash website – https://zensystem.io

ZenCash blog – https://blog.zensystem.io

ZenCash Github – https://github.com/ZencashOfficial


Why are there no actual instructions here on what needs to be done if I'm running a node?

Does a software update need to be done or not?

This is listed above as the official site but has no updated release: https://github.com/ZencashOfficial

But this fork has updated software: https://github.com/cronicc/zen/releases

Who is cronicc?  Is this version legitimate since it is not the official site?  And should I update my node to this version before the fork?

And is there an active block explorer?  http://zenblockx.minez.zone/ is still offline.

This is a point where we need absolute clarity in what steps to take or this fork will be a mess.

Specific instructions should be posted here and on the blog site.
