Time to test new lows! Fasten your seatbelts
don’t believe that’ll payoff in any major way. have no clue why people short at the bottom.
russia is interesting. wonder what happened with this https://www.nsd.ru/en/press/pubs/index.php?id36=633655
“Russian Settlement Depository (NSD) work with Zcash; zkSNARKS for new confidential secure voting system”
i guess we need to see the giant triangle resolve first. Will take another week or so but I don’t see any strength at the moment. Other coins had their small relief rallies in december. Overhead resistance will be hard to break with this constant sell offs
another interesting thing is last couple days rubles have started to show up on the fiat map
believe it’s the first time ZEC/RUB has cracked top 50 pairs.
think this might kill some inflation. anti-dump algorithm - engaged
It would offset rather than kill it, but wether or not its viable is being debated by smarter minds than mine.
Interesting to follow the discussions & nice they’re happening on the forum - hope that continues.
“offset” is a much better term. have a feeling traders will have fun with it. now that it’s decided, guess i need to take a closer look. still going to call it the “anti-dump algorithm”. might even build a rig to have fun with.
Decided as a goal is one thing, it’ll still have to get through all the scrutiny, simulation & testing, so its very early days. Interesting times ahead.
Offsetting inflation followed by the first halving shortly after will be fun.
nice!
if you’re going to timelock should timelock all the ZEC!!
Ill post it here i suppose (not allowed more than 3 consecutive posts!)
No matter where ZEC moves in a day. The train back to 0.014XXX is always on time.

I would turn bull instantly if I see any strength. Right now its rather neutral with bearish tendencies. The triangle takes its time to resolve and so are the bots. If bitcoin shits the bed it will take ZEC and all the other alts with.
ETH(+67%), LTC(+61.55%) and BCH(+55%) have recovered quite a bit in the last 30 days. Even if BTC goes down its quite possible the first one to hit new lows will be the coins that did not recover well during the recent rally. Unfortunately zcash seems to fall under this category.
I agree that on first look it seemed like, but actually it doesn’t, for several reasons:
- first of all the Algo-A asic coins are still realeased immediatly, no impact on the current mined ZEC.
- 2nd, you get more coins issued with algo-B as algo-A mining rewards got not reduced.
- 3rd, after we have point 2nd, we have a higher inflation, no matter they are released weekly and delayed, the end effect is just, more coins per day.
- 4th, the delay effect would be only and exactly 50 weeks after introducing, after 50 weeks we are back to normality, at least due my fast calculation it should be like that. Hadn’t time yet to make the whole simulation for this.
- 5th, having the above points in mind while the intentions is clear and it should work as anti-dump, it might cause a higher dump for algo-A as more issuance from algo-B is coming mostly adding more sell pressure on Algo-A mined coins. This said i’am pretty sure that without Algo-A having time locked ZEC the approach is counter productive and does NOT lead to less inflation, even to more week by week …
interesting! reposting this in the wen mewn thread so it doesn’t get buried

Watch from 52:50, here is the link
(Also note, I’m kind of disenchanted with zk-SNARKs and wanting to upgrade to toxic-waste-free systems like STARKs and Bulletproofs instead of using zk-SNARKs for more things, but that again makes it harder and pushes back a probable launch date by about two years.)
alg A
alg B
almost thinking this could be setting up for an eventual split in 2020. with either algA, or algB miners agreeing on extending payment to developers, with the other splitting, and sticking with current zcash plans to give miners 100% of rewards. side that’s pro continuing paying devs a % of rewards will probably get STARKS deployed, etc.
imo, 2020 split over continued % of dev rewards is probably guaranteed. think by that time there could be enough hashrate on both algA, and algB to support both.
