MinerGate announces zero cost charges for mining ZCash (ZEC). From now on MinerGate

users will be able to keep the 1% of mined ZEC that had previously been charged as a

commission. ZEC is one of 11 cryptocurrencies available for mining at MinerGate, along with

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, and others.

ZCash is a decentralized cryptocurrency based on open-source code. All payments in Zcash

are visible on the public blockchain, although the sender, receiver and the amount of money

transfered remain confidential. This ensures the privacy and selective transparency of

transactions.

ZEC’s level of anonymity was been noted by WikiLeaks, which has started accepting donations

in the currency; NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who called ZCash the ‘most interesting

Bitcoin alternative’; and Europol, which has struggled to keep up with the currency’s privacy

measures.

As 19th largest currency in terms of market capitalization ($385M), ZCash has an emission

capacity of 21 million coins. New blocks, weighing 2 Mb each, are created every 2.5 minutes.

The reward for a found block now comes out to 12.5 ZEC, but this figure will be reduced by half

in October 2020.
