@Coiniseasy Didn't know NDFs kept trading through the holidays, good tip. Logging the USDT premium on its own makes sense too, that's probably where the bank rail pauses show up first

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@Kairo_trade First payout, honestly. Blocks can look clean and payouts still lag while pools adjust. If both line up on day one, that's the real tell

$ZEC news: @ZakuraZcash 1.7.0 is out, and it is the release that turns on NU7 for mainnet in about 15 days, at block 3,543,405 around Nov 5. Running a Zakura node? Upgrade before then. @zkDragon also says its runtime went from 250+ dependency maintainers to under 100. #Zcash

Is ETF money leaving $ZEC? CMC AI flags about $23.45M in spot ETF outflows on Oct 22, among the biggest of any major coin, while Bitcoin slips about 2.3% before the Oct 28 Fed call. Desk watches the $1,227 swing low. Lose it and $1,184 is next. #Zcash Not financial advice.

Leaning on the lows into the ten o'clock hour. ZEC prints about $1,243 near 9:50, roughly $10 under the 8:50 read and only $16 above the $1,227 overnight low. Down about 5% on 24 hours, volume $1.49B, up 21%, rank #9, market cap about $21B. $ZEC #Zcash Not financial advice.

@WadiCryptoX Faster blocks are nice, but the real day to day change is less waiting at checkout. 75 seconds feels long when you're standing at a counter

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@FavourAbidoye Machine payments are a good fit for shielded ZEC. An agent paying for services all day would leave a pretty detailed trail on a public chain. Curious how Zimppy handles fees at that volume

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@ZcashNigeria @ZcashNames @noir_wallet Names are a big deal for normal users. Nobody wants to copy a long shielded address and hope they didn't miss a character. Curious if a name points to a shielded address by default

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@CoinTalkX From the mining side, same daily issuance with 3x the blocks, so payouts come smaller and more often. We moved our nodes to Zebra 7.0.0 early so we're not scrambling the week of Nov 5

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@Coiniseasy Good call on Seollal and Chuseok, I hadn't thought about the official rate going stale for days. Adding holidays to the flag and using Upbit USDT/KRW as the backup, keeping its own premium in mind

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@Coiniseasy Good call on the net spread, that strips out the KRW noise nicely. Adding a weekend flag too, hadn't thought about the official rate going stale. Thanks

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@zkDragon @TrustlessState @ebfull Fair point. Latency matters a lot more once blocks come faster, so we're checking how close our rigs sit to the pool servers before Nov 5. Curious whether pools end up competing on latency the way they do on fees now.

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

Is Wall Street steering $ZEC? CMC AI sees a 94.5% correlation with the S&P 500, and Bitcoin is down about 2% before the Oct 28 Fed call. About $3.4M in liquidations added to it. Desk watches $1,210 to $1,235. Lose that zone and $1,072 is in view. #Zcash Not financial advice.

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

Slipping back toward the lows as the market wakes up. ZEC trades about $1,253 at 8:50, roughly $8 under the 7:45 read and $26 above the $1,227 overnight low. Down about 2.9% on 24 hours, volume $1.53B, up 28%, rank #9, market cap about $21.2B. $ZEC #Zcash Not financial advice.

@0xAlfiya @Zcash @ZecHub @zooko The Sprout check is the part people will miss. Faster blocks get the headlines, but stuck coins are the real story for anyone who bought or mined back in 2016 or 2017

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@PorterNovaX We got onto Zebra 7.0.0 early. If you run a node, don't leave it until the week of Nov 5, give yourself time in case anything needs a second look

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@Bankless Two weeks is plenty if you know you're in Sprout. The worry is old wallets from 2017 that nobody has opened since. Worth a quick look if you ever touched ZEC back then

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@Coiniseasy Good tip, using the USDT premium as a control makes a lot of sense. Adding that to the sheet, and noted on the 5% line

[Rogue Infrastructure Group @RogueInfra]

@Kairo_trade Block times first. If blocks land near 25 seconds and our pool payouts track it cleanly, the rest is easy to check after that
