Well technically it makes sense to call a 2-year old project the future even if it may sound a bit cliché. It's only two years old (actually less) so it's still very young and there still is room to grow and to have child projects.

Komodo - The solution for for the future..

Why panic? Really? The developer straight up abandoned the project. A better question is: Why NOT panic?

What would an academic degree look like if it was designed today? Or a professional certificate?
These are questions we have been working on over the last year, and we are excited to announce the release of Blockchain Certificates (Blockcerts)  — 
an open standard for digital academic certificates on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Is private information now available on the Bitcoin blockchain?

The short answer is no. What is stored on the blockchain is a 1-way hash. This makes it useful only for verification;
i.e. you can hash a certificate and compare to what is on the blockchain. And given what is on the blockchain,
the original data cannot be feasibly recovered. This makes it easy for a recipient to reveal a certificate only to intended third parties.

Are blockchain certificates tamper-proof?

Yes, the blockchain is an immutable and distributed store of transactions, with each block building upon the last.
When a certificate is issued, its data is compressed into a hash and logged on the blockchain.
This generates a “receipt” that can always be checked at a later date.
The verification service validates the signature of the issuer and the certificate data;
it also ensures that the certificate status has not expired or been revoked.

Zen definitely has the potentisl. Zclassic does not.

Honest proposal: talk to Deeponion devs for merge of this project with us and be steonger together. Stronger team stronger community same goal.

Could someone agree me, so i can make sure i understood dPOW.

It is like a normal POW-System, like BTC, but additionally it goes through the 64 notary-nodes and has to be accepted from each of them?

And another noobish question: Does it somehow decrease the speed of the blockchain?

Opting to partner with Bittrex for this particular venture is a rather surprising decision. That’s not because Bittrex is a bad exchange, as it has become the largest altcoin exchange in the world over the past few months. However, there is no reason to think Kakao wouldn’t have been able to pull off such a venture on its own. Then again, having a reliable and experienced partner on board will only accelerate the development of Upbit and increase its overall potential.

Yes, seen the price spike to 0.00056000 btc this week so is something happening i wonder

We are very pleased to announce the addition of Zcash to the highest-volume cryptocurrency exchange in the world — Bithumb of South Korea. With the evolving regulatory situation in China for all cryptocurrencies, it's promising to see the Zcash ecosystem continuing to grow in the greater Asian market and around the world.

This announcement not only opens up access to Zcash for more people but also allows users to benefit from Bithumb's listing of ZEC through a promotional "cash back" program. Users who trade with ZEC before the promotion concludes will earn additional ZEC. You can find more details on the program on the cash back announcement page.

Zencash and ZCL have the same wallet, you just switch coins inside the wallet. But I think funds are lost - been mining for a while with this address, decided to withdraw and then suddenly it doesn't sync. Been trying to use different versions and reinstall and backup wallet etc. Very unprofessional.

I have a problem with a wallet. I have installed the latest wallet 0,0,9. It show´s Sync status: NaN%. I started to google (https://github.com/zencashio/eleos/issues/55), found that i have to install GUI 0,0,5 and run start_wallet.bat file from there, it started to sync until 10.0% and i see 1 connection. It is said i have to locate zclassic.conf file and add abovelisted nodes. But neither my installation folder nor original zip file have any config files. Any advices how to sync my wallet?

who is the dev at the moment?

The effort to bring the privacy features of zcash to ethereum took a step forward today during testing for the upcoming Byzantium upgrade.

A zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge, or zkSNARK, is used to prove that data is valid without actually revealing what that data is. The technology sits at the heart of the zcash network, and recent months have seen developers moving to integrate the privacy tech into ethereum.

Earlier today, the zkSNARK part of a zcash transaction was verified on the Byzantium testnet. While only a trial, the development is a critical step toward bringing that kind of functionality to the public ethereum network.

Deeponion is scam product, and a lot of worse than Zclassic, which doesn't hold and stake premined coins, but do nothing more than replicating of ZEC github.

fake news someone trying to pour
zcl is dead

Oh I'm sorry mate, I didn't know you talked about ZEC, LOL... I must be sleepy or something. I thought you were saying that for ZCL, which is totally impossible for any Korean exchange to add.

I'm not with ZEC, ZEN or ZCL or any other similar fork of ZEC. I just don't want people to invest in a dead project like ZCL, that's all. Otherwise they'll end up with a loss, in my opinion.

Nice try for a pump man, but watch out, no one is going to buy that foolish talk, until and unless you share a source or something.

This coin is very sadly... dead.

I watch Zclassic price for a long time and around 1-2 weeks ago there was someone who tried very hard to push price up, he tried consistently for like a week and he even succeeded for a few days when price reached like 0.00235 but then it when down so fast, even huge buy wall with 35-40 btc didn't help. So i think that miners/holders/traders have a decent supply of ZCL and some of them use every chance to sell it when price tries to climb up a little so it will be very difficult for ZCL go back and stay on level 0.003.
