• For each bitcoin you are entitled to redeem 1 million zibcoins.
• That's it! Happy Zibcoining!

At any time you may choose to convert them back to bitcoins:

ƵMining
Zibcoin mining works exactly like Bitcoin mining.
Just point your Bitcoin mining equipment to your Zibcoin wallet and you'll be mining zibcoins. It's easy!

ƵBlock explorers
Unfortunately, there's no Zibcoin block explorer yet. :-(
The current work-around is to use "blockchain.info" and switch units to "µBTC".
Then you just need to imagine there'd be a "ZBC" in place of "µBTC".

This place will advertise the first Zibcoin block explorer as soon as it exists.

ƵPaper wallets
Step-by-step guide
1.: Take your Bitcoin paper wallet.
2.: Move the decimal point six places to the right.
3.: Remove leading zeros (if any).
4.: Replace "BTC" with "ZBC".
5.: That's it! Happy Zibcoining!

ƵExchanges
Unfortunately, there's no direct Zibcoin-to-fiat-money exchange yet. :-(
The current work-around is to use Bitcoin-to-fiat-money exchanges and convert to/from Zibcoin using the redemption scheme as described above.

This place will advertise the first direct Zibcoin-to-fiat-money exchange as soon as it exists.
