You always has answer/explanation... why horizen stands in place There were many chances to move this project to next level, make it more popular, more fameuos, be in top30-50 on coinmarket... Since few years you can't move stabilly to top100 on coinmarket - why? Because there is no marketing, never was and still nothing changed and learned. I suggested many times what you should do in many areas (marketing), i even wanted help (not now)... but i think you don;t see value in marketing, thats why horizen isn;t succesfull. It was good, such attitude 20 years ago, now almost everything is based on marketing, "selling ideas and plans" to people...

Because of PBR, their authority zencash then price move from $8-10 to more then $20-25 and many people because of them saw in this project value, future. This situation you also didn;t want to use to promote this project even more.

If you want to make something good to this project - hire somebody smart (marketing guru) who can make horizen popular (there is many ways to do it)

great... but still after 1 or 2 years i told it - horizen has no marketing... Horizen never will be succesfull until marketing will be one of the most important thing.

You don't learn anything...

My i think last lesson here Crypto is for now... one big manipulation and winners are only there where is great marketing, hype... even fake news is important. Fundamentals means almost nothing yet in this area... without marketing it means nothing. You zencash, horizen still has no marketing and you don't see this problem... marketing is most important thing in crypto! There will be always many cypto coins, platforms better or worse... but at the and winners are only these people who know how to advertise, how important is marketing.

You even  lost power which you had from Palm Beach Research recommendation... and still you don't learn anything

I still have some horizen coins but if you don't change anything in this area (marketing)... i will change these coins to project, coins where marketing is very important and high level.... we will have new ATH for next 1-2 years on btc... don;t loose these days to advertise horizen like you lost last years in this area!

I am selling bitmain coupons

Escrow possible if u pay for it.

Zenpub looks really great... it should be also +$$$ for secure nodes owners because now profits from nodes aren't even funny.

ps. my next "motivation and few ideas to the team" ...  

still will be the same problem like from beginning... all these changes, upgrades, new great ideas etc are worth only when zencash will be popular. Still no marketing (effective) so price = low, no marketing on very popular pages, profiles (you need places where are hundrets of thousands or millions of people and advertise there - buy paid ads, "news" etc), why no still SEO - search for example best privacy coin - top 5 links even no zencash word... why not advertise on popular places where somebody has authority (for example millionairer mentor on ig etc).... there are much more to do but i wrote it few times earlier. You made secure nodes but market, price almost don't move because of it for zencash.... now will be the same with zenpub if still you will not be smart and use effective marketing (I apologise for words but still your makrketing it is a joke if you want to be popular and interesting coin/platform).  Marketing based on conferences and sometimes on not popular (with no authority and traffic) social profiles (twitter campaign etc) = almost no makreting. See your twitter campaign - i clicked randomly on 3 twitter account where people advertise zencash... one of them not exist, rest are even not funny - 2k people for twitter account with no authority,no traffic and you want from such "moves" make zencash more popular? It is joke... You really need somebody in your team who have knowlege where to advertise, where to buy seo marketing (many companies are crap, you need very good seo company to reach many keywords in google and also in youtube... you need to learn even how to send links with keywords to make something for Your brand. popularity on such pages like youtube).... There are so many places where are traffic and where are people. If you have no knowlege, no experience - ask people here or by pm (i also can help and suggest many places or companies which are really the best) - many will help.

Good luck!

and You really think that during bear market zencash will be powerfull and stable? lol

Now we have bull market and you waste each oportunity to make this coin bigger and popular... so what will change during bear market?   Someone wrote few pages earlier that you forgot to jump to big ships... and now left only small... 100% true. You don't learn from Your mistakes... still no marketing, no vision how to change zencash situation.

I wrote so many times - tips, suggestions and i see i only loose my time. From my last list nothing is done Even new page You can't update subpages so only main page is nice, subpages are on old template. You have so many people in the team - really nobody can't change such easy page? It is few hours work only... or hire freelancer for $50 to do this. So many people in different countries - what they do for zencash? I think nothing or almost nothing... it will be good that they translate page to their languages - it could be first step and help...

Funny is also that for you price is not so important... thats why there are so few investors, because of such attitude...
Now there are so many coins... only these coins will survive which can fight! It will not be better time to make this coin more popular... No marketing = small amount of investors = price very low

after few minutes yet what i see (need to update )

- mining is important for zencash so need to make new section in menu... and team you can move under "about" (maybe better "about us"?)
There should be important info about pools, miners etc
- add PR section in "about"... with contact, logo to download etc. You need help newspapers, blogs etc to write about zencash so need make PR section and somebody from the team (freelancer or outsourcing company) should work there (sending 1 PR message each month is min to all english and other language pages/newspapers/platforms... need high quality PR sending service not like from fiverr for $5)
- add contact in "about" section
- "button see mining pools" - maybe make small section on the main page with some short text (need good copywriter ) that mining zencash usually give most profit (equihash mining) and then link to mining section with pools, miner links etc... Kepp in mind that every text on the page should be also marketing This is not newspaper and your goal is to have as many people as possible (in comminity/investors etc)
- The most important thing
You need an authority, so get in touch with PBC to be allowed to quote their words, that zencash can reach such level and can be bigger than all anonymous coins put together (like dash, monero) .... Work on the imagination !!! Be smart in it (tell truth but be smart in it). You need few such recommendations ... act here actively - contact people with a high authority to know and then recommend zencash (maybe second should be John McAfee because he told a little one time about zencash).
- Also for marketing/authority... need min few articles, reviews or maybe interview on popular pages like forbes etc (i can help if you don't know how to do it). It will bring traffic/seo power and authority if done properly... and then add icons or text on main page that newspapers a,b ... wrote about zencash (only the best sources with highest authority)

Marketing will be 10x more efficient if you combine it with authority and recommendations! Effective marketing based also on authority = value of this platform, price will go to the moon

Good job zencash team - really nice new logo & webpage!

Few tips mainly regarding marketing and user experience:
- change link for bittrex directly to zencash exchange
- on the right should be floating social icons to be all the time visible
- top3 sites based on traffic (google, youtube, fb) - not exist or is not optimally used on the site... so:
- add youtube and fb icons on the right (need change to floating) + at the bottom
- seo (use the right words on the page and in the meta title, i can help if you do not know anything about seo )
- add links to subpages on images with text: zencash For Money, zenchat For Messaging, zenpub For Media (Coming Soon), zenhide For Web Traffic (Coming Soon) ... and write something about these topics. If somebody see such thing - it looks great but 90% don't understand what it means and if it is something interesting.
- zenhide - nothing in roadmap
- make subpages also like main site because now it is "funny" that all subpages are on the old not so nice template
- make translations (it is really easy to hire 10-15 freelancers and translate main page/main subpages to most popular 10-15 languages. It will cost $1000-$2000 only and can be made in 4 weeks everything)... one more thing here - keep in mind about seo if you add other language versions
- add link to last 5, 7 or 10 post from blog so people will see that your are active

under roadmap... give people ideas where zencash can make something... as ideas and possible new/future solutions  - like smart contracts, instant payments etc - it works on the imagination

Good work but now start asap active/"aggressive" marketing campaign!

+1


Great graphic but this have only value if it will be shared everywhere.... People should see this graphic.



not good because it is passive marketing and not bring attention I aggree that many coins shouldn't have so much value... but why not make marketing all the time and not wait that something will be done? Good marketing team, smart marketing manager without product write on page short info about plans... and add form where people add emails (they are building email database) + start PR to bring attention. There is no need to finish everything and then tell people about it... marketing should work also "before", not only "after" is something done.

Zencash marketing have problem with "before" (no marketing at all) and also "after" (inactive, passive marketing /team use mainly not so effective ways in marketing )
 

alpha, beta... then other thing team will make... it deasn't matter if it is beta or alpha or whatever. You can advertise even you have only plans - smart company do it always and from the start! There is no need to use false promises... Marketing should tell truth but also should tell about plans.... There is nothing wrong with pump schemes (problem is only when coin is scam), such situation bring people attention, many people will read about this platform... Investors also will be happy because it will bring people, value, attention to this platform and to their pockets also in the same time

Don't You understand that make zencash much more popular asap (without waiting for anything) will help in many aspects... for example it will help also to be on other exchanges because more people will ask for it, more people will vote, You will have more $ to pay exchanges, more people will talk on popular places so it will bring new people etc... Really i do not understand why not use effective marketing to bring more value (price) for zencash. You made some changes in marketing but still it is 5% what should be done. You have many people in the team from many countries, You only need 1 smart person who use many different ways to tell world about zencash (using also people from Your team because now they are not so active and effective in marketing). Market grow very fast, new coins, new people...  see on coinmarketcup - today Rank 167 We should go to top10 not to top200 or 300 Last time when i wrote about it we had rank about 105... earlier we were in top100.

I still believe that you will change the approach to marketing and zencash team will be much more smart in this area. Now marketing is only managing (support) and conferences. It's time to start doing real advertising and noise on the market

because you forgot that marketing is the most important thing. Coin with only promises (marketing only like now zcl fork) can be for some time (sometimes long time more valuable then such project like zencash - where is "everything" but smart and effective marketing.

Search in google, youtube, facebook popular group .... for privacy coin - you will see that people know and suggest everything but zencash See popular reviews, popular comparison videos with for example 50-200k views...  So people do not know about zencash as privacy coin.... so they also don't know that this platform isn't only privacy coin. Simple. Good that there were PBC and McAfee suggestion so price isn't 10$-$15 like would be without these suggestions

why in linux there are 2 version - for rx and for nvidia... is it not possible to make unified version which works for both cards?

any news when this mb will work for 19 cards without using min 6 mining cards?

Good idea but not very smart plan My tip:
1. Each person who send content need to:
a) Like profile
b) Like post
c) Share post

Then this is effective because all friends will see such post and info about zencash...

If you only are all the time in group of people where everybody know zencash, you will never bring many people to your profiles and zencash. It should be also shared (info about this "contest") in many other places like youtube, blogs, fb.

You need merketing more then everything else. You can't make all things in the same time but marketing is a must for zencash... now active are secure nodes and zencash move to position 107 on coinmarketcap. It is a shame that such an interesting project would be so far and not in top50 or top25.

Hire someone to your team as a official or hidden marketing manager - it is really easy so he can manage marketing especially to activate social media, to bring traffic and people to your page, profiles and in the end to zencash and the price of this coin.



This jump is because of what.... not your news, marketing, devs work, info about secure nodes...  The only reason that price go up from $7-10 to $28-$40 is Palm Beach Confidential signal about zencash and newsletter sent to tens of thousands of people by them. They have knowlege, trust, authority and many people follow their suggestions and signals (even people who know nothing about crypto)

That's why i write all the time because PBC is the best thing you got last 2 months (i think many coins dream about such oportunity) and you should be smart and efficient team uses such things to further popularize your project and increase the price of zencash several times more. Then there will be more $$$ for marketing and development and rpice will jump up etc....

I am monitoring your news, info about conferences and price of zen then don't move. It is ok to make it but it is too little and not so effective because the price of coin doesn't increase. This is due to the fact that there are not many people at the conferences, no videos are recorded from such meetings and they are not distributed to social media (not just yours but hundreds of others places, where there are tens of thousands of people)!

My comments are green


I understand that budget isn't big yet... but especially thats why you need marketing to bring traffic, people and value to this coin. You will not change it without great marketing, withour marketing you can be only average coin...

You should use my tip and change % and white paper asap to have budget and in the end better and very active marketing. You will solve a problem with securenodes (almost no profitable for people now with such price and %) and marketing will have budget... Marketing will bring new people, investors and price will be higher and higher so budget will be for everything after few months. Without active marketing you will be for many months on positions like now on coinmarketcap = 107
You have many people in team (especially regional managers) which can help to share info about zencash, escpecially on fb popular groups because it is easy and everybody can do it, even not very smart people (i do not talk now about smart whisper marketing because it need to be done smart and properly - only about sharing news so very simple task which can be done every week)

Think about it... without new people, without really smart marketing (sometimes no need many $ but need have good ideas and knowlege how to make it) and big campaign zencash will not catch monero, zcash etc... see their twitters, fb, forum and see how active are such profiles here, how many views have zcash forum and how many we have . You have good content there, interesting info/news...  great work done with managing profiles, updates... but there is no ACTIVE marketing to bring TRAFFIC and PEOPLE to your page, profiles, youtube channel and to this coin.

See for example bitcoin gold... this is shitcoin - nothing interesting there, no new, interesting solutions, nothing gives this coin, except that it can be use for mining and earning. It is a new coin. Technologically, zencash is not the league  ... (for me zencash = higher league) and how much does bitcoin gold cost and how much zencash (and that's only because PBC noticed the efforts and signed the price several times)? Bitcoin gold is mainly marketing and this is the reason why it cost so much. You don;t see it and not think about it? What is really important here and what need to upgrade, to change

See for example on twitters... how many followers, likes, shares, comments have competitors... see for example how new coin like bitcoin gold make it (good, active marketing and strategy), see for example on coin #100 on coinmaretcap Dent (average marketing) - like zencash from 06.2017 on twitter. Even they have more shares, comments, likes (similar followers). We really need be much better and bring there attention and people.

If we add wise marketing to zencash, this coin will be at the forefront of the world's coins. We will be all millionaires and it is what I wish everybody who support this coin now. (ps i also start supporting this coin after PBC reports, earlier i knew nothing about zencash and i use my rigs for mining other coins)

It's time to act and promote this coin. My remarks are not sucked out of my finger because I have experience in marketing, seo over 10 years and I can see some things on hand where and what is missing.

i wrote in previous message that i am miner (mainly) and also i have coins prepaired for secure nodes... i'd like that zencash be like dash or even better coin, thats why i write where i see problems and noot good decisions.

Dash has 45% to miners/ 45% to masternodes. People who invest in masternodes (secure nodes) usually invest long term... with miners it depends but because of for navidia cards zencash is profitable then many use this coin only to make $ fast (so mine and sell zencash asap = problem with all the time dumps). Zencash should be still profitable for mining but take some % from mining and give it to secure nodes and marketing is the smartest thing to do now.

3,5% for secure nodes is joke and not good idea because coins invested in secure nodes are "off" the market and it is good for zencash to have many and stable secure nodes also because of this /not only to secure network (less coins for sell, easier to increase zencash price)



i wrote there many times (also by email to zencash), i also wanted to spend 3 months from my life working for zencash (my proposal) but nobody care there about marketing and new ideas. I am 100% sure that my ideas, smart sharing suggestions, give authority to zencash could make more vaalue for price then 10 conferences (evan i am not native english speaker). If some people will also help - we could easly catch monero, zcash and other privacy coins.

You have great team but you forgot about the most important thing - marketing, thats why now we have secure nodes and still nothing changed with price and there is no vision to change it (thats why i use my free time to write here or on your forum)

Palm Beach Confidential signal made +300-400% price for zencash (and bring many people, long term investors here)... most of the coins reach last weeks +100-300% ... zencash nothing changed! and still you did not learn anything You need to have budget for marketing and use it smart because only info on your own social profiles + conferences is not enough... You need other marketing also (more effective), you have sometimes here great content... but not shared, promoted is not properly used.

See dash price and jump - PBC signal about Dash on May 25 ($140)... and second time November 20 (about $400) - see what is then from this date with price... what can make marketing with coin... we should know it also in zencash because PBC also send signal about zencash October 21... but even such great oportunity team don't want to use to make bigger marketing boom. You have no other ideas for marketing yet so why not now use such great oportunity... Zencash price can be $100 or more easly in few months if you hire few smart people for marketing team and help people to help you with marketing. Thats why i suggest to make 6,5% for marketing and each month hire additional freelancers or people interested in zencash value... to spread the world info about zencash. There are 2 people (from Kenya, Japan) on the forum who sent proposals... why not fund them 10 or other amount of zencash (pospaid for job if they reach milestones) so they can start work for zencash and our success (for team, for miners, for secure node owners).

It is really easy but you have to think about marketing now, not after next 6 months because then 50 other coins will be more powerfull and for zencash will be much harder to reach zcash, monero etc level (they do not need such active marketing now because people know such coins...zencash is yet much more less popular so need 500% more work to catch most popular coins). We need to talk about zencash everywhere, especially in social media where are thousands of people (also share there info about pbc because it is the easiest and most effective way for marketing now).

Start active marketing, share pbs signal and the price will be much higher very fast... then even will be less % for miners, still be good $$$ because price will increase. Each month will be better and better but you need synergy with effective marketing plan!

We also need new exchanges because now only bitterex is interesting (what will be with coin of something goes wrong with bittrex?). You probably have no $$$ to invest in new exchanges and also exchanges not so very interested in this coin (not so popular yet). Thats why you need to make few decisions, changes in white paper (%) and start real marketing to make zencash much more popular and known.
Next months probably will be huge for crypto, we need to be very active next months to catch top25 coins.

Good luck and if you need my help or something, i am ready!

----------
ps. one more idea yet... if you do not want to change 42 coins for node - maybe it will be good for everybody (zencash value) to make dynamic increase amount of coins for secure nodes. You can make very easy algo to see that in for example January 2018 each node (100% online) can make for example 1 zencash coin. Maybe will be good to take/move 50% from this reward and increase amount for secure nodes from February to 42,5, on February each 100% online secure node will make for example 2 zencash coins so from march min for secure node will be 43,5 coins etc
It will make less dumps and owners (secure nodes) still will have 50% reword to pay hosting etc. if value of coin will be higher then profit will be ok even there will be 5k nodes or more. Min requirements (number of coins only) for secure nodes will slowly grow.

Yes this somebody has a name "no marketing" and not smart % for secure nodes... too many % for miners (88%), too small for secure nodes (3,5%).
Dash is sucessfll and have 45%/45% so zen also should change it - min 10% for secure nodes should be to be stable and profitable for longer time. Now probably is too many miners which dump coins fast after mining.

If i can suggest something to zencash. Change white paper asap.
- miners 70% (18% less then now)
- secure nodes  15% (11,5% more then now)
- marketing 6,5 (6,5% more then now because in white paper there is no such thing... and this is one of the most important thing here and now to make zencash more popular!)
PBC could change zencash price 300%-400%... and zencash team alone can't change price since very long time - even secure nodes (so one of the biggest news/change for each coin) are on mainnet... because there are no marketers/smart marketers in the team  That's why it is the most important to make % only for marketing. (in the future there should be also few % for bulding tools for secure nodes to go to mainstream with zencash)

It the end then zencash will be much more stable, safe and value will be much higher then now. Marketing gives value to the coin, then also it will be more profitable for miners and secure nodes... zencash will be more popular and budget for marketing will be also higher each month  (popularity, coin value, profit for miners, secure nodes will rise)

ps. i am miner and i have also coins prepaired for secure nodes

it is easy... there is almost no marketing so how people will know about zencash. The only reason that zencash is not for $7-$10 is Palm Beach recommendation... and even then marketing company didn't do anything with it. Average smart marketter could take such report, recommendation and share to whole world, everywhere is possible - popular fb groups, pleaces where are investors, popular youtube channels etc. Really have such great oportunity... and mareting is waiting for what....? Maybe for recession on crypto market lol.

I apologise but i really like zencash but the only poor thing here is almost no marketing. Marketing should be the same value as devs or even need more value/attention. There are many poor products with great marketing and they are sucessfully, i do not see any great product with very poor or no marketing which are sucessfully. I hope zencash team should think about it, until it is time to make changes Good luck zencash!

zencash as coin, also devs, support here are great but marketing is very poor I told it earlier and nothing changed... few days to secure nodes and no PR, no articles on popular blogs, no social campaign, no reviews, no comparison, no youtube campaign etc.... As i understand zencash has partner for marketing but they do not know how to make marketing or they do not work (even worse)... i saw 300 likes on their fb page, really poor result for marketing agency. I think you need make some changes because zencash only will win if marketing will be strong. Without veery active and smart marketing even the best technology will fail and will be forgotten. It will be much better results if you give average freelancer $5k-10k to make huge marketing boomb on the market.

such swap is good for coin and maybe also for signatum if the price of signatum and strak will be high... then you can sell sigt or change to strak. No need to hate this coin (it doesn't help anybody) - you can stay with signatum if you want

Now is time for hard work (devs) because now we have only words... they should organize exchanges asap (cryptopia, bittrex) for straks.


ps. they should change from 6 years to 2 years - then it will be good change for everybody. If they are smart- they will hear the community.... Masternodes also 50k is too hardcore - should be 5k coins and make secure nodes like zencash to secure and decentralise coin.

what about harddrive for secure node - how many GB it will require?

suprnova slow as hell
