Zen Protocol Official Forum - Latest posts https://forum.zenprotocol.com Latest posts P2B Exchange Operations An update here.

There was going to be a proposal to request 25,000 ZP from the CGP and sell them for the price of $0.06 USDT per ZP in order to generate funds to cover P2B exchange operations on P2B.

The team has since decided that selling ZP at $0.06 was far too low of a price for the ZP token and the P2B exchange related fees will be covered internally.

Keep Calm and ZP Onwards!

We surely do hope that everyone is doing well and hanging in there with us as we continue to keep Zen Protocol alive and prepare for a future of success. We appreciate your patience.

A few years ago, the community voted for the listing of ZP on a couple of exchanges. Coinstore and P2PB2B

Coinstore ending up delisting ZP, unfortunately.

Currently we are at a crossroads and P2PB2B is requiring us to actively maintain the market. Market making activities cost money and as such we are coming to the community to ask for CGP Funding in order to maintain the ZP_USDT pair at P2PB2B.

In the upcoming CGP Voting Round - 68th Interval (Block 919,000) we will nominate this proposal for CGP Funds.

We have yet to determine the amount of ZP for the proposal, but we will update you all once we get closer to that date.

We may additionally add one more request to that proposal. Also details will come later.

Thank you for staying patient and carrying the torch. We understand that our beloved ZP has not moved as quickly as any of us had anticipated.

ZP-OG

You will be hearing more from me in the coming weeks and months to come in the future.

It been a long 8 years and we have seen nothing from zp team. We have not heard from them for so long and its time to take the CGP into our own hand.

I’m proposing to withdraw 10,000,000 zp from the CGP and put for sale at $0.005 on P2P exchange. The money raised, a possible $50k from the sale will be used for future usage. What is the point of keeping in the CGP if the team is not updating the community. Let vote on this and wake the team up.

Please let me know if you have and feedback or suggestions.

It is time to once again vote for the good of ZP. This time I’m suggesting to withdraw 5,000,000 zp to be held in Chef wallet, admin of zp channel. The 5m zp will be use to recruit 1 or 2 new devs to help the current zp team, which we have no idea where are they located.

Currently the CGP is holding 17,000,000 zp.

Lets vote!

Thanks,
Koko

A community member proposed selling 1 Million ZP through OTC trades and was able to raise 14K USD through it.

caveat: It needed a trusted participant in the form of “The Chef” to act as an escrow for all the funds.

The next big question is: If or When Coinstore will deliver?

As you are aware, there are currently no listings for the Zen Protocol. However, after speaking with Coinstore exchange on behalf of the community (Koko, Chef, Mk), they agreed to list ZP in exchange for a lump sum payment of $10,000.

We propose to get 1,000,000 (one million) zp from the CGP and offer them to the community in order to raise that sum of money. The suggested price per zp is in the range of $0.015 and $0.020. All money will be collected and kept with Chef. We are certain that we can raise the necessary $10,000 to list on Coinstore (the listing proposal from coinstore can be found on the main channel dated 17th January 2023). The important aspect is having some funds available so that we can use it for listing, while we are also searching for alternative exchanges.

Here is Chef wallet for 1,000,000 zp

zen1qsfypxrjyqc9gh9zwutznewv07k5qrhnfnvlc90pe9n2gzjfxpg7qr9cc4j

We hope you will all vote for zp since we think it’s time for it to return to an exchange. Thank you for your time!

I am proposing to withdraw 1m zp to be later used for listing in new exchange. I don’t know which one yet but we definitely need one. The quickest way to get some cash for listing is to sell those 1m zp to the community at a certain agreed price. We can later vote on that but for now lets get the 1m zp out first.

If the vote passed, the 1m zp will be stored on Chef wallet and only him have access to it.

Come on ladies and gentlemen, time to move.

Thanks

They have done some very powerful development. The CGP was built. Along with the givernance model.

We may have to wait for a longer period of time to see further results, though i still full belive that the geoup here are very advanced and will succeed.

I am not impressed by the lack of communication, and the sizable accumulation through insoders mining (Etoro).

Though we will see success, as Adam is a very advanced in his vision.

Outside Information being brought from one EcoSystem into a Secure BlockChain requires a point of entry.

A single point of entry would sacrifice either security (multiple entry points) or decenrilization (single point of entry at give location creates a vulnerability, if point is shutdown).

Multiple decentrilized data centers would be required to format data to bring across the required data to finalize Smart Contracts.

Data Centers will require payment for their services. The Data Centers will require to be integrated into the blockchain much like a staking provider.

In an ecosystem that is POS the staking providers are in a managing position. This system would be optium for oracle development. As the dynamics of the staking entities creates immediate incentive to manage further data crossing into the ecosystem.

In a POW model. And in this specific case being a POW model with an underlying governance model, including the Common Goods Pool. Could be effective in Oracle creation only if funding was submitted to multiple parties. The parties trusted to develop and cross data into the blockchain too finalize the outcome in the smart contracts for accounts recievable / payment to the winner, can be monitored by the holders and much like the Block reward to the miners the community determines the contracts to the oracle or data providers according to thier performance.

Determining measure of performance, operational time during contracted period and correctness of data supplied.

We are all concerned with the current state of ZP, but are very much looking forward to the Blockchain Apps from the white paper being eventually realized.

Thankfully Blockchain Development Ltd has provided us with the CGP and a means for proposing and voting on projects to let us participate in the growth of the ecosystem.

Over the next 18-24 months, we will seek to increase the following metrics by attacking the following Objectives:

  • Increase Network Hashrate
  • Increase total Zen Protocol wallets
  • Increase Transactions Volume & (eventually ZP Oracle usage)
  • Increase CEX Trading Volume & (eventually ZP DEX trading Volume)

We will drive and increase the fundamental metrics of the Zen Protocol Network and Community, which are necessary elements to attract the attention of product owners, developers, customers, and investors alike.

While we are not focusing specifically on token price nor setting our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in any way based on price, we believe our efforts will create the foundation to sustain continued growth of investment into our community and give purchasing power to the CGP in order to fund future projects that we all deem worthy of community funds.

Objective 1: Increase Hash Rate (400K ZP)

There has long been speculation that there exists an ASIC for mining ZP, but this ASIC capability has not been publicly advertised. We intend to make this information public by targeting various ASIC devices which we think have the potential to mine ZP, developing the firmware to enable that mining, and subsequently open source that firmware to the community.

We propose to draw 100K ZP from the CGP to be used to fund some of phase 1, although MKUltra will be purchasing the ASIC with his own funds and 300K ZP to be paid as a bounty once the firmware is developed, tested, and ready for release to the community completing the second phase of this objective.

Phase 1 (100K ZP)

  • @MKUltra to Purchase Goldshell HS3 or comparable ASIC, which we expect to cost around $12,000
  • @jamesscaggs to Develop firmware to mine ZP using the purchased ASIC, which we expect to cost around $20,000

Phase 2 (300K ZP)

  • We will open source firmware developed for mining ZP for the ASIC that we purchase.
  • As a part of this we will provide a mining tutorial to assist other miners in ramping up their operations to support the network with their hashrate.
  • @CryptoChef will be holding these funds in escrow until the firmware is open sourced and delivered as promised. If we fail to deliver, then these funds will be sent back to the CGP.

Future Proposals

We would prefer to have a larger group of developers working on these projects with us, so if you have knowledge and expertise please reach out to @CryptoChef, @jamesscaggs or myself @mkultra

We are looking forward to continuing to build and be good stewards of this community. Be on the lookout for future proposals, they will be coming.

If there is interest and it seems we can get a quorum, we would then vote on different staking options. Currently Frax on the Ethereum network has been proposed as it has been running for a few months, has been audited by reputable auditors, maintains a USD peg which lowers the risk, and yields attractive returns.
In order not to wait months until proper bridges have been deployed, it has been proposed that Chef would serve as escrow until we can deploy the funds trustlessly.

I would like to propose to use 150k zp to buy 6 or 7 Blackminer F1+ ($1350). With 7xF1+, we will get a total of 245GH/s, which in turn gives about 250-300zp daily (actual payout). All the mined zp will be of course send to a community wallet where Chef have access. Within 10 months, we should break even (ok maybe longer but max would be 10-12 months).

You might all be asking how I am going to sell the 150k zp without tanking the price? Well I am ready to buy 30k zp at current price of $0.055 and the remaining 120k will put at market price. What I am saying is that the money collected from the 150k zp sale will be use to buy the F1+. Chef can handle all the money and I’ll do the setup part ( well nothing much to do).

I believe this will work and we have nothing to lose. Here is the website for the F1+ purchase. https://www.hashaltcoin.com/

Oh and the daily charge is $2 per unit/ hosted (meaning we don’t have to pay for electricity and other stuff).

Also community can decide what to do with the mined zp by voting. It’s a win-win scenario.

Ok, apologize for my English and I hope you understand what I am trying to do for the community and maybe we can use some of the fund for marketing. Also, lets not let the “Miner” mine all the zp. Time to rise my fellow friends.

All expenses will be recorded and made available 24/7.

Have a great day.

The code would first need to be refactored significantly to support localisation. For the non-technical person reading this, the process roughly involves making sure that the text visible in an application are pulled out into template strings whose values can be dynamically changed. Would require bringing in a library to manage that and the contributor would have to update nearly all the files in the repository while making sure no functionality is broken in the process. If this were a feature the community were excited about, then a ‘core’ dev would need to commit to reviewing the refactored changes that brings localisation/internationalisation to the wallet.

I’d love to see a bit more engagement from others - just to gauge interest. The prerequisite work I’m describing here is not a trivial amount of work. Although subsequent translations to other languages should be trivially simple to achieve.

I’d also recommend (if you’re open to it) having a sandbox environment test-dot-zporacle-dot-com. Let that point to the zp test net. Perhaps you already have this setup. Propose to build the sandbox first and request some of the CGP. Main benefit of this is incremental delivery and your proposal would clearly identify dependencies and the readiness of those dependencies. That’s one way to better manage people’s expectations.

I know you worked on the wallet on your end.

If you willing then guide me / would you like to do the localisation of the code!

I can then organise the bounty for the translations and the code work aswell from CGP accordingly.

Dm me on telegram and let’s discuss further on what all needs to be done.

It is also a good litmus test for slowly engaging/encouraging more developers from the opensource community to engage in the project.

Chef here again :blush:

Just a “shower thought” that I had, so sharing it here with you all, to know what you think.

Will it be helpful if our Zen Wallet had support for different Languages like Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, German… at least!
I’m thinking long term and for the translation we can make use of the Common Goods Pool.

I can coordinate the onchain proposal and distribution to the community members who translates.

You think it’s something that we shall take upon us and would be beneficial for the ecosystem in the long run?!

Basic details on how we can go about it.
Maybe following steps:

  1. As a community first ascertain if it’s something that we shall do, here on the forum.

  2. Agree on a $ (Dollar) number per language translation. If and when we go ahead then I can request payout from CGP accordingly during that time.

  3. Maybe also have a smaller bounty for some one in the community to proof read and double check the translation.

  4. Current devs can implement if not busy with other more important things. If not may be have a developer from the community itself to do the code and make pull requests! (this we can discuss at a later stage)

Further exact details I can work on depending on how much of a positive response we get for this idea.

Do discuss here please.

Let’s Build together.

]]> https://forum.zenprotocol.com/t/cgp-proposal-adding-alternative-exchange-with-btc-eth-ltc-and-5-other-pairs/276#post_2 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 21:13:04 +0000 forum.zenprotocol.com-post-413 CGP proposal - Adding alternative exchange with BTC, ETH, LTC and 5 other pairs I. Summary - Dear All,

There is only one exchange (Bilaxy) where investors can buy ZP and there is only one trading pair available (ETH). I would like to make a proposal of 30k ZP from the Common Goods Pool to support an alternative exchange listing with BTC, ETH, LTC and 5 other trading pairs.

II. What - Proposal for a payout of 30k zp from the Common Goods Pool.

III. Why - An alternative exchange provides improved liquidity for ZP. Bilaxy could be hacked (I really hope not) or have technical issues preventing ZP from being traded. Another exchange with more trading pairs would make it easier to invest in ZP.
Unnamed exchange was chosen as there is no delisting policy or minimum volume requirement, so once ZP is listed it will stay that way. Unnamed exchange supports over a hundred coins and tokens.

IV. How - 0.05BTC payment to Unnamed exchange (I have been very conservative with the ZP amount as ZP and the Bitcoin price could change and I do not want to come asking for more funds). Funds left over after listing will be returned to the CGP. I am not getting any referral commission, just helping the community.

V. Who - I have already discussed terms and pricing with the exchange owner, but will need the devs to take over and complete the listing agreement with the exchange.

VI. Deliverables - ZP Unnamed exchange listing with trading pairs BTC, DOGE, WAVES, LTC, UTIP, USDT, ETH and XMR.

Let’s do it. Another idea can be to organize a competition for community goods for any sum (100k zp or more) to see what one can do with it. As in:

  • user A submits his plan what he plans to do with 100k ZP
  • user B does the same, etc
  • They include plans, and are responsible for it
  • Community votes for the best plan
  • User does what he promised to do (funds can be kept on a multisig with chef, user who won, community guy X as signers)
  • Profit… or none )

As, nomination phase on-chain only lasts 1.5 days, i think it’s better to discuss any proposals here beforehand to gauge community interest.
Once the on-chain nomination starts and if there is enough interest in this proposal, i will then make a proposal on-chain for the said amount, with my wallet address as payout address.
And once it’s live on-chain, then i shall share the ballot id of the said proposal for the community to vote on in the nomination phase.

I. Summary - Dear All,

As there had been 3 on-chain votes until now already and no one have made any proposals regarding any Common Goods Pools (CGP) payout, I thought I shall get the ball rolling. I’m sure the devs have tested the payout feature extensively in the test environment, but we should test it out in real life :). So, I would like to make a proposal of 10k ZP from the Common Goods Pool.

II. What - Proposal for a payout of 10k zp from the Common Goods Pool.

III. Why - Firstly to test the CGP feature in real life, secondly to get the ball rolling.

If it is just for a test, then what will you do with the funds and why 10kzp and not 10?

  • I am thinking to use the 10k zp to organise some competitions, trivia etc in the official Zen Protocol Telegram room over a period of few weeks and give away 400zp each to 25 winners (numbers subject to channge) details of which I will post later in the Telegram room.

  • As, there is a threshold of 3% of existing ZP to nominate a proposal for it to move to the voting phase, i personally think it’s not worth it for the community to move millions of zp to nominate for only 10zp payout.

IV. How - Distribute the funds by organising some challenges, puzzles, competitions, trivia etc.

V. Who - Chef will organise.

VI. Deliverables - Chef won’t keep the 10k zp for himself, will give away all of the funds by organising some challenges, trivia etc in the Telegram room.

What does the community think? Let me know in the comments here. Open for any other suggestions for any other use of the said 10k zp.
