About us

We are trying to bring back to life the ZS coin. To that end we set up Zer0foundation that would first fork the old coin and then further develop the coin to bring it back where it belongs. The foundation list is not closed yet and is still time to join. Optimally, we need 8-10 members (have currently 6 confirmed).

In order to prepare transition process Foundation has set up a donation wallet:

Code:

E6H5g3JwwaEELKC9Smk7xVBfPHtGPNpqGj

Currently we managed to collect 32601 ZS, plus what has been minted since, you can check the wallet here: http://coinia.net/zimstake/getbalance.php?top=100

You can check us out on the IRC channel #zerostake on freenode.

Open points for discussion

In order to make the transition process smooth there are several issues that must be discussed, before we can put the proper ANN. Here is the list of issues that we have currently in mind (will be updated as discussion goes on).

1. icecube45 volunteered to help with forking ZS to the new coin. There several issues that still have to be agreed:
a.) whether to increase the current number of coins, in order to have sufficient funds for bounties and development or just keep the coin as is, relying fully on donations. If increase how much would be sufficient? 50k, 100k, 500k? Whether, or not to allow short PoW phase, if coins are added.
b) fork will be made at 1:1 rate, 1 old ZS coin will be one new Zer0stake coin.
c.) apart from forking the coin, icecube45 won' have more time to devote to it, that is why we would love to have a permanent Dev that will be paid from our donation pot. There are two options, either we could have it with fixed salary, of say, 5k ZS bi-weekly, or to have it paid on per-task basis.
d.) what to do with the coins that are owned by the previous Dev, CG, in order to avoid massive dumping once the project recovers?

2. List of issues that we would like to see further, once the coin is forked: anon mixer?, marketplace?, some more features in the wallet?, you name more...
3. Have possibility for donation in non-ZS currencies, be it BTC or any other, you name your proposals.
4. Have fixed people from the foundation responsible for PR of the coin and further development strategy, in order to improve the usage and possible applications of the coin.
5. New logo, new ticker, etc. For now, we have first proposal of the logo:
