Zaif instructions

To All Users

インターネットやPCに詳しい方でも、暗号資産の取引や管理には不安をもっておられる方は多いかと思います。
The following is a basic primer. Please read through it.

About Passwords

  • Please do not set a common password as other services you use.If you use the same password, when there are leaks on other sites, you may suffer harm from unauthorized logins to other services not connected to the leak, so it is extremely dangerous.
  • Please set a password in English letters and numbers that is longer than 10 characters. Starting from 2015/4/17, this site runs strength checks when the password is set. If you set your password before that date and are worried about your password strength, we recommend resetting it.
  • For password management, we recommend using software like LastPass (multi-platform, Japanese support), 1Password (multi-platform, English software) or KeePass (for Windows, porting OK, English software).

暗号資産の管理について

BitcoinやMonacoinその他のaltcoinと呼ばれる、いわゆる暗号資産というもののアイデアは斬新で夢があると思いますが、その性質上ネットワーク犯罪者の攻撃を受けやすいものになっています。そのためウォレットクライアントを動作させる端末は十分に安全である事が求められ、アンチウイルスやパーソナルファイアウォールなどのセキュリティソフトを導入しているので大丈夫という考えでは不十分かも知れません。PC端末を十分に安全な状態に保つ自信の無い方には、PC上で大量の暗号資産で保有する事をお勧めできません。

Bitcoin is a new “e-money payment system,” whose principles were published in a paper by a person called Satoshi Nakamoto in May 2009. 単位をBTCと言い通貨の発行は、ユーザーが演算を解き採掘(mining)をして行われます。現実通貨との交換レートは様々な経済状況の影響を受け、ボラティリティの高い通貨として、利便性の高さで注目されている暗号資産です。

MONAcoin(モナコイン)とは、日本の巨大掲示板 2ちゃんねるで、Mr. Watanabe(わたなべ氏、2chpool. bzJIFpVqts)によって開発され、2013年12月23日に公開された日本初の暗号資産です。
The MONAcoin currency is showing unique growth, mainly in domestic Japanese subculture.

NEM (New Economy Movement), launched in 2014, is a next-generation blockchain project.
NEM has native support for multisig (multiple signatures), and you can create and manage multiple assets, and easily handle them all from APIs, among other things. It offers stable and high-level blockchain technology.
As a platform of economic freedom and equal distribution, it aims to create an economic bloc through a new digital currency.

XEM, The Issued Cryptocurrency Units
The total issued amount is 8,999,999,999XEM

In addition, mijin and NEM are technically compatible, and both are adopting mijin’s new type of core engine, Catapult.

Counterparty is an open-source financial platform being developed for the Bitcoin blockchain.
The key currency, called XCP, is created and issued through the destruction of Bitcoins, an arrangement called Proof of Burn.
At present, the roughly 2.6 million XCP which have been issued are guaranteed by this arrangement, and their number will not increase in the future.

Also, you can generate unique currency called Tokens by spending XCP, which you can use for a broad range of purposes.

Furthermore, to actually use the Bitcoin blockchain (sending or doing a transaction), you also need Bitcoin.
