May I ask for your opinion on moving to PoS?
We've been discussing that particular subject because ZeroClassic network hash power is too small and we would like the chain better protected.
Big miners would always follow their profit target, I guess we can't expect hashrate to change much.

Sure ... Our primary short-term objective is to implement new exciting features from the upstream (Zcash). NU5 (Network Upgrade 5) will bring us Unified Addresses (the same address "outlook" whether it's transparent or shielded) and removal of trusted setup (bye-bye bulky and controversial zcash-params). After that, it will be the right time for decent GUI wallets, both full and light node. Since our #1 concern is privacy and tor v2 is retired (afaik), we'll try to add support for modern encrypted p2p protocols (tor v3, i2p and cjdns).

OMG ... spamming his own topic to hide a couple of unwanted posts ... Censorship at it's finest.

You guys are good at censorship, kicking out of discord and telegram everyone involved with ZeroClassic.
What are you afraid of ?
Have somebody offended you in some way, being rude, not following the rules?
That is not the way things should work in crypto world, decentralized and democratic, open and free.

Hi mate,
I have zero experience with Zel, just know their tehnical specifications.
Nobody can tell you what coin is worth mining because market is so unpredictable. My remark about personalization string being command line option is just pragmatic: every coin which choose to provide ASIC resistance by using equihash 144,5 aka zhash will introduce it's own string. And it's easy to implement that in bminer, one hour of work tops. Bminer tend to have good hashing performance, if not the best among others (dstm, ewbf, ...). By adding this option it will be future proof and more usable.
I have been mining Safecoin until recent reward halving come into play. Now LitecoinZ is fairly easy to mine but not established on big exchanges. Many equihash 200,9 coins will migrate to zhash in order to opt out Z9 and similar ASICs. I think even ZEC, ZCL, BTCP, ZEN will take "zhash" path just after they finish more important changes in code (rebasing, forking, whatever).

P.S. I would also like to see both equihash 96,5 aka Mars for MNX and equihash 192,7 for ZER in bminer. ZER is so undervalued and has great potential.

Hi realbminer,
Although all zhash coins use the same equihash params, they use different personalization string. Earlier it was one and only for all equihash 200,9 coins => ZcashPoW ... Now almost every zhash coin has it's own personalization string: BitcoinZ, Safecoin, ZelProof, ... You should add command line option to set that string, instead of hardcoded one.

Personalization string for AION is AION0PoW

I would like to hear more about the new POW algo.
What's wrong with tribus?
Will it be something not seen before or just modification of existing algo with different set of params?
If it will be something new, do you plan to open source it or to compile closed source mining app (with or without developers fee) ?
