Dear Zero-Dynamics community,

As of January 5, 2025, the Zero Dynamics Cash coin officially launched for trading on the Exbitron market with pairings in USDT and BTC. Traders should note that approximately 4.8million coins are currently in circulation. The opening trade price of USDT 0.1 reflects an ambitious benchmark; however, the current price of around USDT 0.005 may better align with the market's initial expectations. Invest and trade with enthusiasm, but remain mindful of the inherent risks.

2024 has been a transformative year! Over the holiday season of 2023/2024, I returned to engage with the Duality community on Discord. This reconnection was not without its challenges—having been banned from the server years earlier, I had to use my father's account to gain access and rejoin the conversation. The project was, by then, on its deathbed, struggling to hold together. Reflecting on the fun and progress we shared between 2014 and 2018, the year I was forced to leave the project, I knew Duality had drifted off course but I never lost hope of steering it back.

In 2024, I embarked on my journey (again) after having failed to do so in 2019—perhaps because Duality was still too strong and its community too loyal to forsake its team. I started with quick results early last year, and very soon, I had a chain running that looked quite promising. What I didn’t realize at the time was that a minor oversight in the code, stemming from Duality’s experiment with hybridizing Dynamic into a Proof-of-Stake/Proof-of-Work blockchain, had been silently wreaking havoc since v2.5.0.0, introduced around mid-2020.

This subtle bug, absent in earlier versions like v2.4.4.2, led to unpredictable block rejections, network disconnections, miner crashes, and block explorer disruptions. The issue had been hiding in plain sight, overlooked for years, only becoming glaringly obvious when examined closely at the end of December 2024. Ironically, it was only during the recent onboarding process to Exbitron that this specific issue came to light. Spotting the root cause while communicating with the exchange operator allowed me to squash the bug, and it has been resolved in Cash v1.1.3.0!

Starting with the initial version I had last April, I experimented with the difficulty retargeting protocol and memory cost for GPU mining. Unfortunately, this took more time than I had hoped, especially since my father passed away around that time, and I had to fulfill family duties leading into the summer. After the summer, I decided it was better to stop experimenting and proceed with more conservative numbers to avoid being stuck. However, lingering issues from Duality’s Proof-of-Stake experiments remained, manifesting in sporadic block rejections, network instability, and miner crashes.

Even now, there may still be some bugs in the code, but these are challenges we will tackle together as we continue our journey. I am confident that the current 0-DYN Cash blockchain is stable enough to enter the markets. While we might face some initial network volatility—stemming from price fluctuations and leading to network hashrate variations and therefore variations in block times—these are natural growing pains for the Zero Dynamics Cash project. As we expand and attract more users, we will see increasing stability in prices, hashrates, and block spacing. Together, we will build a resilient and robust blockchain ecosystem.

2025 will be a defining year for Zero Dynamics—one of proving and rebuilding. We aim to demonstrate that we can not only establish a vibrant market but also revitalize our community stronger than ever. This year will also mark the highly anticipated relaunch of Sequence as 0-DYN Stock, an integral component of the Zero Dynamics ecosystem. While the exact date remains to be determined, rest assured, it is coming! Stock will play a pivotal role in the project's future, providing new opportunities and expanding the utility of our dual blockchain system.

If you still hold Sequence, please ensure you keep your records safe! Your patience and preparation will be rewarded as we bring this next phase to life.

Firstly, my late father, MMWOPS: He always encouraged me to keep the project in mind and continue it in due time. My father witnessed its early steps and progress, but, sadly, he could not be here to see its resurgence. His guidance and belief in me remain a driving force, and his absence is deeply felt. He will be missed.
Secondly, @Egner: Since 2019, Egner has been a steadfast supporter, providing VPS resources crucial for hosting and compiling client software. Though now taking a more background role, his contributions have been essential to our progress. Thank you, Egner!
Thirdly, @George: A trusted friend and ally, George has been instrumental in assisting with financial matters. His unwavering support gives me confidence that we have the foundation to succeed. Thank you, George!
Fourthly, @Yuncode: With Egner being more unavailable, Yuncode coincidentally stepped up to manage the essential explorers, ensuring the project's technical backbone remained intact. His readiness to tackle even more complex developer tasks, if needed, demonstrates his dedication and expertise. While I felt the initial steps should remain my responsibility, I deeply appreciate his enthusiasm, initiative, and unwavering support. Thank you, Yuncode!
Fifthly, @jareso: jareso has been pivotal in negotiating the onboarding process with the Exbitron exchange. His dedication ensured that Zero Dynamics Cash secured its place, marking a significant milestone for our project. Thank you, jareso!
Next, @bashenan: bashenan showed great initiative by setting up a mining pool for the community. Although client instability led to its temporary closure, I am confident he will resume this valuable effort when time allows. Thank you, bashenan!
And lastly, @andrew2k: As the developer of Alterdot, andrew2k has been a valuable technical sounding board throughout the years. I look forward to continuing our collaboration and mutual growth. Thank you, andrew2k!

Over the years, I have talked to many of you, and all of you have been worthy of my attention. With some, I go back as far as 2014 or 2015. If I were to name everyone, the list would be lengthy. What’s important to consider is that I cannot do this without you, the community!

In 2014, the Silkcoin project started gaining momentum as a community effort. Ever since the Duality team took over, the project became increasingly centralized. Now, it’s time to return to our roots—giving the community the space to participate actively and collaboratively. Together, we can build a brighter, livelier ecosystem than ever before. We’ll achieve this by engaging more frequently, sharing ideas, and pooling our skills and resources. Discord is the perfect platform to facilitate such activity, but it’s up to us to share our goals and plans so others can step in and help.

As we move forward, let us unite in purpose and ambition, each contributing to the success of Zero Dynamics in our own way.

Let’s continue our march!

PS.:
Now if you own any of the following coins, I would suggest you join our Discord server. It will be worth your stay!
Duality's Dynamic (DYN) & Sequence (SEQ),
Alterdot's Alterdot (ADOT).
