Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZENCASH: Permanent, Distributed, and Fully Anonymous cryptocurrency
Here is a windows wallet (GUI !!! ) for ZEN that i have downloaded, and it works. (be patient--at first you see no connects, nothing syncing..be more patient)
ALSO, i have successfully converted my zcl to zen using it. (yes, this is the eleos wallet, but with gui it is so easy to use. windows friendly!)
The secret to get you zen converted from zcl is NOT to do all the import, convert stuff from the menu...it doesn't work.
TO GET YOUR ZEN: run and sync the wallet. save the wallet.dat file somewhere (it should be empty anyway.). Put your ZCL wallet.dat file back in place of the zen wallet.dat file.
Run the wallet, watch your ZEN coins appear.
use the windows zip file from this link ( eleos-win32-x64.zip ) to copy my experience: https://github.com/LukasBures/eleos/releases
Good Zen to all.

All, for a Windows GUI wallet - Zen Dev preferred - use the windows zip file from this link ( eleos-win32-x64.zip ) https://github.com/LukasBures/eleos/releases
If you want a simple GUI overlay on Linux you could try (Not in any way linked to the Zen core team devs) https://github.com/Scottrock/zen-swing-wallet-ui
Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZENCASH: Permanent, Distributed, and Fully Anonymous cryptocurrency
When will be normal Windows wallet? I have ZCL in eleos wallet, can I wait for normal windows wallet to pick up my ZEN coins? 
thanks for answers.
Yes this is also my question, i need wallet for win 7 64. I see this coin can be traded here https://tradesatoshi.com/ is this trusted location? I'm always too suspicious, but this comes with bad experiences i suppose. thanks for answers.Windows wallet : https://github.com/cronicc/zen/releases/tag/v.2.0.8-4
Where is it marked as experimental ?
See important security warnings in doc/security-warnings.md.
Zen is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
https://github.com/cronicc/zen/tree/v.2.0.8-4
All of Zen (and ZCL for that matter) is listed as "Highly Experimental" - it's a general disclaimer for the Dev's that they don't owe you anything.
Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZENCASH: Permanent, Distributed, and Fully Anonymous cryptocurrency
ZenCash please provide detailed info about setting up a verified node. These should be made available to the community, not taken up by insiders and devs........which has happened to far too many coins.
Should have that information posted this week. It is not going to be too much different than setting up a zclassic node. Will also need a valid certificate, hold 42 Zen on the node, and be able to send a shielded transaction every few minutes to verify the Secure Node is meeting requirements and keep it active in payment queue. Practice right now by setting up a zclassic node, getting a cert from letsencrypt, and receiving and sending z_transaction on the node. You should be able to do this on a $5 per month VPS by using swap to get memory above 4GB.
42 Zen and security hoops to jump through (how difficult these are is yet to be seen).
Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZENCASH: Permanent, Distributed, and Fully Anonymous cryptocurrency
It's going to be WAY different to running a Zclassic / Zcash / Zdash node.
Current coins install node routine :- run a home computer / Docker image / server / vps (install a 'nix flavour following u-tube vids); learn minimal amount of 'nix command line; use apt-get and build a couple of times; put some text in some hidden .conf files; job done. Google is your friend - everything you need to know is cut/paste-able - you can even set up a home pool in a day.
Zen masternode - OK, so I have a domain name which Certbot will put a certificate on from letsencrypt - Tick - job done? ...no
Now I need to learn how to put the node behind a reverse proxy to ensure the node traffic traverses the ssl and not bypass it (Google is not your friend because it now expects you to know a LOT more about 'nix, web-servers, coding and networking and most of the guides expect non-free software to 'make it easy'). There is more information on Google about how to make nodes traverse TOR sockets than run an SSL protected node through a reverse proxy.
Oh, and I need to know how to cron script to ensure a transaction is sent between two z-addresses (at a cost of 0.0002 per transaction) every 100 blocks or so?
Come on Zen Dev's, if you want a Node to meet requirements and jump hoops - provide a coded node that does it for your users straight from the git-pull, not a bunch of Linux style man pages that expect a few years of 'nix experience to follow.
Look at your Forum posters - how many are asking about windows wallets and how do you set up a basic node??

"we want a nominal amount to prevent spam, so it'll be something like 10 - 100 to start; we'll have this locked down soon since we're finally getting around to working on the white paper"
Soooo, anywhere between 10 and 10,000 depending on the level of take-up?

Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZENCASH: Permanent, Distributed, and Fully Anonymous cryptocurrency
what is the estimated amount of zen needed for master nodes?
Earlier posts from the dev's suggest between 10 and 100 zen for a master node - and higher payments for SSL listed.
They also suggested that the actual figure will depend on the amount of nodes taken up (target of 1000).
Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZENCASH: Permanent, Distributed, and Fully Anonymous cryptocurrency
I'm sure one will come along if Zen gathers enough steam.
The guys over at https://zcash4win.com/ have created a ZCash wallet based on a port from Swing, so an extension of the port for Zen may just be on their radar.
But for now, good luck with the Linux command line!

Hi,
Long winded I know - but to get a wallet stable on Windows:
1. Get (download) a copy of Virtual-Box.
2. Set up a virtual machine running Ubuntu (its quite simple - lots of guides) - you only need about 20GB space.
3. Install Z-Classic (lots of guides available).
4. Install Swing Wallet.
5. Send coins to yourself.
You could also then run a node from the virtual machine and support the cause!
Note: - especially as you would be running a virtual machine - BACKUP YOUR WALLET - preferably to a paper or offline storage (you can just take note of your public and private keypair).
