Why are all the exchanges for this coin in maintenace? HitBTC, TradeSatishi? I am not even sure why Bitfinex is listed considering you can't even create an account without $10,000 worth of deposit.

Congratulations! You win the biggest load of horseshit yet award! If you really think that dump all your coin and GTFO.

This is pretty normal for every piece of mining software. Many cryptojacking malware out there uses open source mining software to do their deeds, And when Anti-virus software picks up on them, they don't typically discriminate between "Good" and "Bad". Needless to say, this us "usually" normal, but an excess of caution whenever downloading anything crypto related is recommended.

For good reason.

Without saying too much there are some amazing stealth projects going on behind the scenes - when news on these projects drops it will be sudden and with short notice. The past 6 months the Community Devs have been focused on building the foundation infrastructure to support these initiatives  - which have since been completed allowing for them to move forward.  

All I can say right now is HODL for dear life. News is coming sooner than you think!

Atleast he admitted to it. Which is more than many scammers would do. I still think the whole thing is bullshit but decided to remove my previous post for. Let this be a lesson moving forward, don't try to bullshit people, just tell it straight.

Ok, so does anyone know why this started at Block 5000, what happened to the 250,000 LTCZ in blocks 1-5000?

I thought this was supposed to be no pre-mine, and if it is pre-mined, who has the funds, and what are they planning to do with them?

Anyone get the Windows Wallet working? I keep getting this shit.:

It really isn't any different technology wise except the coin supply

Folks, we need nodes... and the sprout key copy time is atrocious. 1 hour to download!? Please copy it to google drive and share it Dev

Yea, for realz.... now at 74Ksols... I am pretty sure we will hit 100Ksols before this is through.

Folks Just a friendly reminder... Don't wait for a Dev to share information, Unlike many other coins, this is a community driven project, that includes you and me. Don't wait for the Devs to share information. Take an active role in appreciating your BTCZ. Don't expect someone else to do it for you. If we all participate, we are sure to win.  If you find some news, share it!

Be sure to check the initiative / info site at:
https://info.btcz.rocks/

With that said, some of the latest news:

1. BTCZ has its very on GUI Miner: See below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI-V7n8amFk&feature=youtu.be

2. Community mining to fund the coinomi wallet is underway, feel free to throw some hashing power at it to help.

3. The Community Minimum donation drive 50+K/sol jackpot has been extended until the 26th.... Currently the committed jackpot is over 150K sols/s. Don't miss this opportunity. Donate today to help fund community projects (and to possibly get 150+ hashpower for 24hrs)

This is a brilliant Idea.... Just wish I could have caught it when it first released.

A plus...!? ....Think about that for a second... Zcash for example, on a 20% dev fee, 21,000,000 max supply you have essentially claimed 4,200,000  of the supply. While Zen is only slightly better at 8%... These people... these small groups that have access to that money could essentially control the market at a whim, let along the massive amount of wealth they are accumulating in the interim. take a moment and think about that... the amount of control you would wield in having that large of a supply of the total currency.

Honestly, I am mildly disgusted at that idea that people willfully fork over money to these coins... its playing with fire.

Its not only a plus, is a mandate ....

Folks the point wasn't to iterate through every possible privacy coin know to man...We can argue all day about this coin or that coins merit but that is not the point.  I am sure there is a ton of clones out there, and will be even more that get released before this is all said and done.  Most of them are either premined to all hell, charge some kinda dev fee, and probably all have a centralized dev authority saying what will and will not be added to the code. This couple with the fact that nearly all of them have a sub-billion coin supply ensure that they will never be fully adopted as a currency medium and if successful, will only become yet another speculation vehicle just as Bitcoin has become today for those with discretionary income, thus losing its utility as an actual currency form.

There is much that sets BitcoinZ apart. The founding rules was set with the future in mind in order to keep the coin accessible to all. That being said, not having a centralized development team allows the project to be flexible and able to truly address the needs dynamically and in parallels as the landscape changes, without being held back by the thoughts and bias's of a small group of developers. While this is happening you quietly are seeing people build infrastructure around the coin to make it more easily accessible/usable without asking for a dime from anyone to do it. This is why this coin will be successful long term and what distinguishes it from the rest.

To say that there will be no new features is simply premature. Will we be forking Zcash's updates? hell yes we will because simply put... the tech just works. But as for unique tech additions, just as Bitcoin did back in the early days, there was little to no feature enhancements done to the base code in the beginning. Primarily because it takes time to attract talented devs to adopt the project and to bring new ideas to life. Luckily, we already have a couple groups working in cells to come up with new and exciting things to do with the coin. But again it all takes time.

As for your question regarding what distinguishes this coin from other shitcoins? There's a couple of things: The biggest distinguishing factor between this coin and any other "clone" is that interest is growing steadily in the project. Just sit in the slack / discord channel a couple of days and you will find a lot of new people are interested in the project and we are steadily gaining momentum with average day users and technical individuals alike. For a project that is less than 7 months old this is well on its way.

One of the major distinctions is the 21 billion supply, which makes it actually attainable and usable by the working poor / middle class - Unlike Zcash, LTC, or any of the other "well known" ALT currencies - where 1 coin would cost you an entire months electricity, water bill, and phone bill just to own 1 coin, This is where all the well known coins are failing where this coin is and always will be readily accessible to the masses because of the supply being high enough to keep the price reasonable.

One thing that history has proved is you don't need the the newest, and greatest technology to be successful in this world, it just needs to be simple, widely accessible, and has to fill a need. Of which, this coin has the potential to do all 3 with just the tech that's out there today. Furthermore, the fact that there is no one centralized group of devs, and instead is comprised of small pods of developers all working on different facets of improvement, It should not be surprising to see long periods of low progress followed by short periods of massive improvements leading to parabolic moves in both interest in the project and value.

Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether or not to give this coin you time/cpu cycles/ hard earned money, but speaking from one of the original BTC holders that missed the boat the first time around and also as a holder of BTCZ. I believe in it, contribute to the community,  and see that others do as well. For me its not a question of if but a question of when.

In the meantime, I

Mine. Hold. Wait

I believe this normal ZSnark behavior as the wallet attempts to obfuscate the transaction. the idea is, that although one one transaction actually gets sent, it becomes impossible for someone trying to track the actual transaction without access to your wallet.dat.

Annoying, yes but totally worth it for the privacy.

".... as well as many projects that the development team needs funding for in order to build awareness for BTCZ. "

Your missing the point, but feel free to over look my message.

Good Day folks, as you all may know, we have a multitude of exchanges we are trying to get listed on as well as many projects that the development team needs funding for in order to build awareness for BTCZ. This fact, coupled with the success of the previous hash rate for donations lottery, we are now upping the ante. This time we are raising the jackpot substantially, with a two-tier drawing for the following:

Drawing for winner will take place on 27th of December
Drawing 1: 50 K/sol for 24 hours on the 28th of December - Minimum donation: 3,000 BTCZ
Drawing 2: 50 K/sol for 6 hours on the 29th of December - Minimum donation: 500 BTCZ

Note: those who donate hash rate for the full 24 hours + 6 hours of the fundraiser will be automatically entered into the drawing for the 6-hour jackpot. You are still welcome to donate 3,000 BTCZ to be entered into the 24-hour jackpot as well!

At this time, Hashgod, and Rizzman1000 are putting out a call to arms to ask for a few good miners to pledge their support to the community by donating as much K/sols as possible to help us ensure this fundraiser is a success. At current, we have personally committed 20K/sol to this cause, and are in need of another 30 K/sol from the community for this 30-hour fund drive. Please consider donating hashing power to the cause using the link below and please only sign up if you are 100% sure you can commit:

Folks, what's the verdict on this? is it solid?

Someone just posted this link a few hours ago on the MyHush Reddit, Anyone wanna weight in whether or not this is Bullshit or not?
