It's great to see you are passionate about ZenCash! Secure Nodes beta with payments was released today! Very exciting! Payment structures are not set on stone. We will be able to evaluate payment structures in the future. Although weve made significant progress in delivering the features listed on the white paper, we are still a development project. Our stance is to delivery rapidly and iterate. This is true for development and marketing.

As you know, we are working to build a truly decentralized and fair voting system. We believe the zen voting system will be the standard for voting systems around the globe (crypto and other industries). So in short, lets deliver the system then work on iterating it. We cannot do everything all at once, no one can do that

Regarding marketing. As you are probably aware our price jumped recently. This allowed us to have additional budget for marketing. Incredible, right? So, as such, weve ramped up our marketing efforts by doing the following:

Secure Node campaign - youve probably seen graphics on social media.
Advertisement campaign - just got funds to do this, so we are trying it out and see what will need to adjust for the future, we are hitting big crypto news media
Newsletter is now going out 2x week.
Soft rebranding and campaign around it
Website redesign
Increased activity on Reddit
Marketing board for our different country leads
Campaign very time we have a feature release
Looking for more graphic designers. Are you one? Show us what youve got.
Attend conferences: in only 7 months of being a project weve gone to over 6+ conferences. We have the opportunity to speak at conferences
Sponsored different events from meetups, VR games, art events
Articles: we are on mainstream articles and blog posts
Charity: Mexico earthquake victims by the Crypto Show, Bitgive recently
Bi-weekly video and chats - every 2 weeks anyone can ask the team questions live. We provide status and take questions.(edited)
In summary, we are slowly building marketing now that we have more funds, remember we didnt ICO and didnt have millions of dollars upfront.

We've been active on major social media channels.
We have a secure node campaign ongoing.
We slowly building our marketing strategy, and already many people recognizing Zen as potential leader in this field. The market will reflect that one day, we hope. This team is focused on delivery features not just talking about it. We know there is a balance between talking and doing, and that is what we are striving to achieve.

Regarding your forum post: the team is behind but we will review all forum posts.

Finally, this is a community project. If you want to fix something do it. You will get noticed and become a leader in the community.

Great to know that secure Nodes beta with payments was released today! Any difference in the setup of a secure node now?
