Excitement about "MTP" which has been promised for months, and was promised to make GPU/CPU competitive - see
https://zcoin.io/what-is-mtp-merkle-tree-proof-and-why-it-is-important-to-zcoin/ (they're not, GPU is 3x) - might be wearing a bit thin.
A few pages back on this thread you'll see MTP was exposed as fundamentally not memory hard by disgruntled a miner developer who complained of inexplicable code changes, and Zcoin then said, 'oh yeah we changed it because it had a bug and wasn't memory hard'.
Zcoin's history unfortunately is littered with great promises, but then when the Christmas pudding is finally put on the table, it's small, burned, and strange tasting. Devs are good guys trying to make it work, but marketing gimmicks to paper over a lack of working product won't cut it, and I think there's a lack of trust in Zcoin in the investor community.
(Zcoin underperformed the altcoin market before and during the recent crash. Substantially.)
I can't spend my whole day here arguing. I'm just expressing my genuine belief. I am not even saying that Zcoin has no future, I'm saying that this news on MTP is massive, will massively weigh on prices, and is a very big setback and adds to reputational concerns around Zcoin.
It will not, you just need to read what is written, as you the only one who keeps pushing its own truth create in parallel reality.
