Admin answer from telegram:
"Nope, we don’t give actual ZILs in testnet"

The admin's answer in telegram about bitcointalk thread:

"Hi we never had much traction with Bitcoin talk in the past. There are other channels eg reddit, slack, telegram, twitter where you can have discussions on the project and also ask the team any questions"

You understood correctly. The first high-throughput public blockchain platform designed to scale to thousands of transactions per second. It brings the theory of sharding to practice with its novel protocol that increases transaction rates as its network expands.

Sharding - splitting large data into parts (fragments) by certain attributes and algorithms in order to significantly speed up access to the desired data.

What about "what is the ZIL token for?":

This token grants holders the right to use the platform, payment for sending transactions, as well as performing intellectual contracts. Zilliqa has a final offer volume of 21 billion tokens.

What about Zil vs Ethereum!? I found this information:

"• Transaction rate: The Ethereum blockchain protocol has a transaction rate of around 10 tx/s. ZILLIQA is currently 250 times of that.

• Consensus: Ethereum uses PoW for consensus, ZILLIQA uses pBFT for consensus. PoW in ZILLIQA is used only to establish identities to prevent Sybil attacks. Once identities are estab- lished, the network can reach consensus on several blocks in a row. This makes PoW more efficient as a new PoW is not required per block as in Ethereum.

• Smart contracts: ZILLIQA will also be different from Ethereum in terms of smart contracts. The basic difference comes from the fact that ZILLIQA’s underlying smart contract language will not be Turing-complete.

• Finality: ZILLIQA’s consensus protocol gives finality. This means that no confirmation is required. This is different from PoW-based consensus in Ethereum where temporary forks can occur and hence a certain number of confirmations are required to have a cushion against double spends.

• Scalability: Ethereum is exploring how to do PoS securely and effectively in its future versions. ZILLIQA takes a different approach with sharding for an accelerated path to scalability. We will try to be compatible with Ethereum wherever possible wrt mining, smart contract language, etc.

• Mission: ZILLIQA has a specific mission to support high-throughput dApps that need to leverage the properties of a blockchain: openness, accountability, and transparency, etc. ZILLIQA will focus on supporting those dApps requiring high throughput or high volume. Some of the existing dApps on Ethereum may benefit from ZILLIQA, but we do not expect those to be the majority."

Hello! It is expected that the tokens will be added to the mainnet Zilliqa in the form of ZIL tokens in 2018.

After studying the white paper:
The Swap protocol is a promising project with ambitious plans and an excellent support team. This platform will meet the growing demand for a decentralized exchange of assets within the Ethereum network. Despite the novelty of the application registries on the basis of Blockchain and their undoubted compliance with the norms of the ecosystem, they are constrained, which, in the final analysis, will prevent their competition with currently available centralized solutions of the same tasks. The Swap protocol provides the ability to apply a decentralized method that is not affected by such limitations.

By implementing this protocol, participants will have access to a scalable, confidential and equitable method of regulating liquidity, without giving up access to profitable prices. As the road map passes, the platform will be in great demand and will become global. At the same time, the AST token will also go up.

Finally! Very good news, just thinking about sharing joy

Да уж, жадность - враг, от таких попутчиков надо избавляться, но думаю каждый испытывал подобное, когда начинал и это нормально)
Да, он и не один раз так прокатился, как минимум раза 2 можно было откупить по 20 и продать по 40. Ну как эфир вряд ли, конечно, но вполне цена может еще очень удивить в будущем, но опять же, не стоит жадничать и продавать на комфортном уровне, как вы и сказали - продавать вовремя!

I think the price will really surprise. A coin created by the community and enjoying the support of the community. Very serious development plans and great success in case of full implementation. I believe in success, but with a cold head!

Everything will be, everything has its time, but for now we will wait for April, it promises to be hot!

Very well noticed! If a person actively trades and monitors the market and for a certain coin - such situations and messages would not exist. Although and traders not always do all dealings, all the money you will not earn

Decentralized currency intended for users who value confidentiality. She improved the original blockchain bitcoin, by using anonymous networks such as Tor and i2p. It supports several mining algorithms to improve security and ensure equal distribution of reward between the miners. The coin have a very serious social support. There are wallets on all operating systems. It also carries out the mining on Scrypt. I think that the growth potential is large for this coin, this is my personal opinion.

On this question is unlikely to give you an accurate answer. Now the market is very variable, all processes are changeable. In general, I can say my opinion: we will see good growth. But what kind of result will be satisfied - it's up to everyone, and this decision is the result of your own analysis! Good luck

It is enough to study the coin itself, the upcoming events, the results of work recently, the quality of implementation and understand that we will see a good growth. You're right. Useful links.
We are waiting for the demand will grow and see a very interesting picture.
