Zano Forum

I just want to say that you have my full support and my faith in the team and the project is in no way diminished. What attracted me to Zano is the innovative approach to privacy in creating the foundations of a private ecosystem. Setbacks such as this are par for the course when entering new territory and there will be other challenges along the way. But those who believe in the project and its goals will come together to see us through these difficult periods - just as we will join to celebrate the better times ahead. So thank you and all the best to Andre, Pavel & the Zano Team.

Can someone confirm that Evolix exchange no longer supports Zano? Zano is no longer showing up as an accepted coin.

I very much enjoyed the interview. I'm not sure if what follows belongs in this chat category as it's not directly concerned with hard fork 6, but it is in response to what was discussed during the interview between Doug & Andrey. If not, please let me know and I can paste it in another category.

Two aspects jumped out of the conversation.

Firstly, Andrey's concern about the power of AI to infiltrate crypto blockchains / code and do real damage. Fortunately it appears the Zano team are harnessing AI to work to their advantage. But how my are doing this?

Secondly, his whole position on the moral / ethical aspect of privacy. Unlike Doug who was more positive about where this was going, Andrey seemed somewhat subdued & disheartened (at least that was my perception). Maybe it is is because Doug is American and Andrey is Russian.

But the way I see it is if crypto is going to have any practical applications - in business especially, some form of privacy is essential. Of course the financial controllers want all of us eventually to be visible on a transparent tokenised blockchain - but will they want that for themselves? I doubt it. They will insist on their own privacy to allow them to carry on their murky business practices as usual.

Then here lies the irony and why our world is so screwed up. Government / authorities should be the only transparent party - so they can be held accountable to us the people - whom they represent (that's a joke!). Self sovereignty belongs to we the citizens which includes a right to privacy. But as we know everything is upside down and backwards, so we have to swim against the current and where necessary demand / create what is rightfully ours. Zano is a part of this process - a very important part.

Just seen that Andrey Sabelnikov is LIVE on MoneroTalk TOMORROW 8/20 at 7:00AM-EDT - talking about the Significance of @zano_project's Upcoming Hard Fork 6.

Great fun indeed. I've enjoyed Battlefield for awhile. But Street is super cool - though it will lose some of its variety when Zano goes pure POS and the orange bus gets retired, the pickaxes go and we're just left with ribeye steaks.

I was experimenting with using the comment / memo option in the wallets - Both Full & Light. In the past I have used it in the Full Wallet to send a greeting along with some Zano to a relative / friend.

Given the privacy I thought it could also be used to send longer messages and have since tried this out. However I have found some anomalies with both the Full and LIght (Beta) wallets.

Full wallet: the Comment Box which extends over one line - while it allows the input of 255 Characters, the receiving wallet only allows you to read 105 characters. However, if you hover the mouse over the comment box it will show you the whole 255 character selection.

Light (Beta) wallet: the Comment Box is larger and allows you to input many characters over multiple lines. However once sent it is only possible to read 40 characters and there is no hover over option to read the rest.

I would be interested to hear feedback from the Zano Team. The Light wallet certainly appears to have the facility to send long messages - communicate privately for a 0.01 Zano fee, but in practice is limited as the comment / memo field has limited functionality.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

Good interview. Not too long and enough context. I get the feeling listening to Andre speak that he's just so far ahead of the game when it comes to issues such as POS v POW and the impact of AI that even those quite well versed in crypto are lagging quite aways behind.

It bodes well for Zano though that we are lead by a visionary - a few visionaries if you include other members of the team. Also the interviewer is correct at pointing out that Zano is constantly innovating and moving in a forward direction which is a sign of a healthy project.

Hi Lil-King. Big fan of what you're doing with the Zano Africa project. I watch it from afar.

My first privacy coin adventure was with Pirate Chain - ARRR. I was heavily influenced by a well know social commentator at the time and naively bought into the project during a period when it was being heavily pumped up. I subsequently lost quite a bit when it fell back to earth*.

After this experience I vowed to do my own research and not blindly follow others. In 2021 I ran across Zano, read about the development team, the tech involved and its mission and decided this was for me. So I invested what I had left into the project. My (private) stake has subsequently grown some, but more importantly I am really impressed with all the developments that have occurred e.g. Zarcanum etc, as it strives to fulfil its promise as a privacy by default layer 1 designed to support a private ecosystem and all this can offer beyond mere digital cash.

• I still believe Pirate Chain is an excellent project founded on excellent privacy tech and such (privacy) projects need to be supported.

Getting started with Zano was not difficult as I had had experience working with previous crypto. The learning curve began when I first bought some BTC. Getting my head around the blockchain and crypto was a massive challenge for someone who is not technically minded. It required a complete mind shift as I only picked up my first computer in my late 30s. Most people my age look at me with a blank face when I talk about crypto. Even my kids took some convincing to open wallets and still prefer surveillance payment methods e.d. Revolut - due to its convenience and ease of use.

This is the challenge we need to overcome to get more people onboarded - Convenience & ignorance. Most people want it on a plate. At the same time it is necessary to treat everyone as a complete newbie and design with this in mind. Don't assume they know anything - or are at least too lazy to bother to put much effort into learning.

That said, a large part of the attraction of Zano is its ease of use compared to other crypto. The design and functionality of the wallets is excellent and the whole concept of a private ecosystem is very exciting with huge potential. Also there are lots of help pages and a loyal community to seek advice.

Finally it is necessary for people to understand the genuine need for private by default crypto during these times of relentless surveillance. Zano is still greatly underrated in my book but I feel it's only a matter of time.

Great initiative.
