Hey guys,
I am trying to see where Zero fits and where its USP lies.
ZCash, ZenCash, Zero are all derivates of Bitcoin (ZCash is a fork of Bitcoin). The main difference between Zero and other coins like ZenCash, ZCash can be broken down to its algorithm parameters.
The equihash parameters for Zero differ slightly from ZenCash - you get faster block verification, an increased block size and a much higher transaction capacity. Zero also differs from its forked siblings in a way that it doesnt have a founders reward, no pre-mine and no halving and thus can be seen as a truly community coin.
Besides these ZCash forks, there is also ZCoin. ZCoin is based on the Zerocoin protocol, whereas ZenCash uses zkSNARKs. Both coins are designed to hide any trails between sender and receiver. ZenCash goes here even one step further and not only hides the sender and recipient of a transfer but also the amount which was sent.
- Compared to ZenCash, does Zero also uses zkSNARKs, but mitigating the drawbacks like the 88% block reward allocation to miners, 8.5% for DAO and 3.5% for secure nodes?
Will Zero follow the currently bigger coins ZenCash and ZCoin and introduce Masternotes in the future?
Will you implement Segwit, Atomic Swaps, Lightening Network etc?
an infographic with all this information would be cool for the website. would also help define the coin and by extension the road map of what is needed to mature the coin i.e. what do we want this coin to be and how do we get there
