Zcash is replacing Bitcoin. i've been saying this for 3 years. i'll say it for 3 more.



What if AI agents could pay for things... privately? Not with tokens. Not with credit cards. With shielded Zcash. We built it. Agent hits a paywall, pays with one command, gets access. The server never sees who paid. zipher-cli (alpha) + @cipherpay_app x402 protocol. Demo below.


How it works: - Resource server uses @cipherpay/x402 middleware → returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements - Agent uses zipher-cli x402 pay → shielded Zcash transaction - Agent retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header → CipherPay verifies → access granted Links: 🔗 zipher-cli: github.com/atmospherelabs… 🔗 CipherPay: cipherpay.app 🔗 x402 protocol: x402.org 🔗 @cipherpay/x402 middleware: @cipherpay/x402" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">npmjs.com/package/@ciphe…
Both in alpha. Better UX coming. This is the plumbing.
$11.3 trillion in offshore wealth. $31.2 trillion in gold. $3.8 billion in Zcash. As Munger said: "The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don't." The odds are here.





We have added Litecoin MWEB back to our BTCPayServer. Monero and Litecoin will be back soonish, both are in the syncing process. We have tried to re-enable ZCash but it fails since the plugin is not compatible with the latest BTCPayServer version.
