1 block every 2.5 minutes, of 12.5 divided by 4. It has the same release rate as BTC, just faster block times. The reward per block is total of 12.5 at slow-start and 50 @ full release. Not 12.5 per 2.5 min.
I didnt mention the slow start so its easier to calculate.
Slow start is only the first 10 days ?
First month, approximately
Where are you getting 10 minute block times from?
Not block times. 2.5 is the block time, but reward is based on Bitcoin, so each 2.5 min will disburse 1/4th of the total block reward. The curve follows BTC 100%.
Where can you see the hash rate on the test net ? How does the hash rate map to difficulty ?
type ~/zcash/./src/zcash-cli getinfo
“difficulty” : 78.29507136
someone noted that its around 1.25x mid range CPUs per diff
