It’s incredible to see so many people running Zcash light wallet servers, [Hosh](https://hosh.zec.rocks/zec) is showing 40 online right now. Thank you! After the Sept 15th kickoff reward, we’ve **paid 36 ZEC**. Our **current balance for monthly rewards is 514 ZEC** , to be distributed across the six monthly payouts. (we’re paying the transaction fees to keep accounting simple) **Monthly budget:** 85.66666667 ZEC (514 ÷ 6) **Winners per month:** Top 25 servers according to the requirements above. **Per winning server:** 3.42666667 ZEC (85.66666667 ÷ 25) During some months there may be less than 25 servers running. We will use any remaining budget at the end to extend the rewards beyond the initial six months, with the future reward amount to be determined. And whoa, that ZEC price action! I hope that operators use some of their windfall to keep servers running way past our reward timeline or to upgrade them to support Zcash’s increased user base. We may not always be able to provide such generous rewards, but Zcash’s need for _decentralized_ infrastructure won’t go away. **October 2025 Rewards** 21 operators qualified for the October 2025 reward, a total of 71.96000007 ZEC: ```auto carover0.xyz:9067 chmodas.org:443 light.myown.party:443 lightwallet.netstable.stream:9067 lightwallet.qzz.io:443 lwal.podev.name:443 lwd.z0n.jp:443 z.arounder.co:443 z.dptr.capital:9067 z.miscthings.casa:443 zcash.johndo.men:443 zcash.mysideoftheweb.com:9067 zec.alexxiy.top:8137 zec.bitchat.channel:8443 zecapi.linkpc.net:443 zeclwnode.mylabtest.vip:9067 zecrpc.dpdns.org:443 zlw.nodemaster.link:9067 znode.roamerx.win:443 zw.run.place:443 zwallet.techly.fyi:443 ``` TXID (the view key is published above): ```auto 7a5bc74914a5d4f660ef3d0cf14860698c143571e9eebf56559fdc87d038f3fc ``` **One More Thing** Sending a ton of Zcash transactions is a pain. So, we whipped together a quick tool to make it easy. The source code is [available here](https://github.com/zecrocks/zec-ui). [Here’s a screen recording of me using it to pay everyone.](https://link.storjshare.io/s/jvpf7iafwzh3f2mmbdrd6tcrkybq/public/ZEC%20Reward%20October%202025.mp4) Thank you for participating, and keep the servers coming - we’re not up to 25 yet! ![Screenshot 2025-10-16 at 3.55.53 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/e/f/efb5e64c914e8c8c3b1301333db85aabb32ed72f.jpeg) ---

Gracias, para mí es una gran experiencia participar. Logré hacer algo que antes me parecía impensado. A los que todavía no se animan: más allá de recibir una suma importante (que donde vivo realmente lo es), vale por la experiencia y por sentirse parte de algo grande. Aguante Zcash y éxitos para todos, los que estamos y los que se sumen! Thank you, it’s been an amazing experience to take part. I managed to do something that once felt impossible for me. To those who haven’t joined yet: beyond receiving a meaningful reward (which, where I live, really is), it’s all about the experience and feeling part of something bigger. Long live Zcash, and best of luck to everyone, those already here and those yet to come! ---

Hello, I am bringing another server online but it isn’t ready yet. I will send an address when I think it is ready. ---

I’m going to set one up in the next couple of days, and then I’ll keep it running, even if you stop making the payment. I’m also currently setting up a full node. ---

> [@emersonian](#): > > when a server took a long time to respond, it blocked all of the others from being checked (we added a timeout, this should be fixed). Hi @emersonian , Things are improving one bug at a time 🙂 The hosh dashboard seems broken again `Last Checked: 1d 19h` , it’s possible that my server going down from time to time is breaking the dashboard, I’m still trying to figure out what goes wrong with the home server. p.s. just looked at the screen recording of the vibecoded app for the multi send Zec, it’s really lit 🔥 ---

> [@Autotunafish](#): > > all the ipv6 ones always fail on mine anyways All IPv6 failing indicates that you are testing from a connection which does not support IPv6. Try running with “-ipv4” for now. I need to update zecping with some sort of “does the testing device have ipv6 connectivity” test. We’re continuing to troubleshoot the testing lag issues on Hosh, thank you for continuing to report. @matterboi will get you added, welcome to the party! ---
