I've been working on Zealchain for the past 3 months and I've finally gotten to the point where I want to share it.

I created Zealchain not only so that poor folks can lift themselves up, but also so that marginalized communities can share wealth within the community.

Zealchain consists of two products: ZEAL, the cryptocurrency, and ZNET, the Zealchain network.

You can buy ZEAL at https://altmarkets.io/trading/zealbtc. Alternatively, you can mine ZEAL with the wallet downloadable at the site (or use other mining software).

ZNET can be thought of an alternate Internet. It is, technically, called an alternate DNS root. Essentially, sites on ZNET can only be accessed with the ZNET chrome extension.

Registering a domain name on ZNET costs anywhere between 20 and 50 ZEAL, depending on your TLD.

All sites registered on ZNET are included in the ZNET directory. Through this directory, individuals and companies can find and support businesses from marginalized communities.

ZEAL code: https://github.com/mikejohnsonjr/zeal

ZNET chrome extension code: https://github.com/mikejohnsonjr/znet_chrome

The code for the registrar and alternate DNS root are proprietary.

I'll be open sourcing payments with ZEAL soon.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

P.S. I am unemployed and am looking for remote work. Please send any leads you have!
