zcoin's "coinbase maturity" is quite high, like 120 confirms, mixed with the block time of like 10-15 mininutes, ya, it takes like 24 hours for coins to be confirmed, if not 36

That's just how the coin is coded tho,
BTC itself needs 50 confirms before you can spend fresh mined coins

Im mining some DGB again, it's easy to mine, and low in market, maybe see 600 again ;p
if u want to main zcoin for long time - it`s not a big problem. just if u want to sell quick
