BitcoinZ Principles:

• Anonymous It is recommended to use anonymous zaddr for all transactions. Public taddrs transactions are also allowed.
• All contributors are welcome and everyone is volunteer - no premine or dev taxes (Satoshi has about 10% of BTC marketcap!)
• Store of value - always POW and never POS
• Fully decentralized cryptocurrency (no root domain, no main website, no main dev team)
• Decentralized development Developers are self organized in development pods. Every new dev or team is welcome. All implementations which follow consensus are allowed. No need to register - just create new pod account (e.g. github) and convince community.
• Decentralized mining As a miner you should not use the biggest pools to follow main principles.
• Easy to mine Equihash algorithm. You can use your Desktop PC to mine BitcoinZ. Most profitable is GPU mining.
• Decentalized Exchanges All exchanges are allowed. The best one are decentralized. We plan to implement fully decentralized XCAT exchange.
• Pure community coin
• Always immutable - no way to change history!
