Mythos just audited Zcash and the code was perfect!
Incredible dev team!

Thanks, Anthropic, for helping protect Zcash users. At Shielded Labs’s request, they ran a security audit of Zcash with Mythos. It did not find any more serious bugs in the Zcash protocol. Shielded Labs and others are continuing security hardening work. Stay tuned for updates.

Wait, what? @grok Can you explain this post without any filter? Be clear in what he means. Avoid political correctness.

The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable. There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law. I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation. Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

You don't understand how powerful this is. The leap forward in crypto is insane. Cash properties: fungible, untraceable and private, BUT digital and decentralized with a 21M supply.
This is the final evolution of Bitcoin.
$100,000 first. Then $1M.

아직 공식 발표는 되지 않았습니다. 하지만 지금 바로 @ZecMap 방문하면 이미 지도에 9,000개 이상의 장소가 표시되어 있어 $ZEC 를 @FlexaHQ로 결제할 수 있습니다. 여러분 우리는 이제 막 시작했을 뿐입니다. Zcash : native 🫡 (출처 @zooko ) 우리 "Boss"는 먼저 실행합니다. 🫡

What Research Shows
StudyFindingMöser et al. (2018)~45% of transactions traceable due to 0-mixin legacy outputsKumar et al. (2017)Deducibility attacks reduced anonymity set significantlyWijaya et al. (2019)Cascade tracing effective on older chain dataMore recent workRing size increases (to 16) substantially reduce but don't eliminate probabilistic tracing
Practical Verdict for 5 Hops
No method guarantees full deanonymization of a modern Monero chain of 5 transactions with proper hygiene
Probabilistic narrowing is real — an analyst may reduce the anonymity set from 16 to 2–4 plausible candidates per hop
Five hops compounds uncertainty — errors multiply, so tracing degrades with each hop
Off-chain data matters most — IP logging, exchange KYC, and timing metadata are far more powerful than on-chain statistics alone
Bottom Line
A determined analyst with off-chain context (exchange data, IP logs) + statistical heuristics can make meaningful inferences across 5 hops, but cannot achieve cryptographic certainty from on-chain data alone with modern Monero. This is why Monero remains substantially stronger than Bitcoin for privacy, while not being perfectly anonymous.

@ztipme @theswansjr run it through 2 monero hops and into a brand new btc wallet

To believe that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value means:
1. Believing that having a decentralized, global payment and settlement network outside the conventional financial system has no value.
2. Believing that having a way to protect your purchasing power from inflation has no value.
3. Believing that being able to store your wealth without counterparty risk has no value.
4. Believing that the ability to send $5 or $50 million anywhere, anytime, with minimal fees has no value.
Yet, people say bitcoin has no utility or value.

Let’s run the math of that to the extremes.
Let’s suppose it was exploited and made infinite zec (my thesis is that there’s no exploit, but let’s play on that).
Ironwood and the turnstile would limit the amount of that exploit to 5M Zecs in Orchard. And the freeze of funds (allowing just to leave from Orchard) would display those 5M clearly concentrated to the next pool. If that 5M (now identified concentrated holder exist), the ones that would suffer would be those INSIDE the orchard right now, but the existence of such a big concentrated holder would destroy the value of the chain, just because of the concentration (think of a 5x Satoshi or Saylor).
If you believe that a fixed 21M supply private and now more robust version of bitcoin is valuable, and you’re in the transparent pool, and there’s no concentrated holder, the value of Zcash is bigger than Bitcoin, just vecause of its evident private properties, its supply soundness and quantum ready.
Just allocate your bets accordingly. If there was exploit: market cap 0.
if there weren’t (and all seems that it wasnt), 10 T.

*Laughs in libertarian, privacy advocate, and long time $ZEC holder*
I’ve spent years studying, defending, and investing in ZEC because I genuinely believe privacy matters and because I appreciated the technology and monetary model behind it.
The issue many maxis are missing is that Ironwood doesn’t make potential counterfeit claims disappear. It simply accelerates reconciliation.
If the Orchard bug was exploited, someone ultimately absorbs that discrepancy. The common response is that dormant balances or lost funds will cover the gap.
Maybe.
But the entire reason we’re having this discussion is that there is no way to prove that inside a shielded environment.
I still appreciate the technology.
I still appreciate the mission.
But pretending this hasn’t damaged one of the core assumptions behind the investment thesis, at least in the short term, isn’t analysis.

lmao you never understood Zcash.
English
@CryptoHe4dlines @will__mcevoy A stable coin that gets diluted every crisis? That one? We need a private fixed supply asset where to store value privately.

AI reads all of your transactions.
Zcash encrypts all of them.
The more capable AI becomes, the more valuable privacy becomes.
This isn't complicated.

This is why Geeks are moving away from BTC.
It has lost his tech focused people. BTC was a freedom project from geeks to the people. Now it's become a dead asset manipulated by Saylor .
That's why Zcash will replace BTC. Because it's the true freedom money.

I think the biggest downside of saylor is not him selling or any ponzi mechanic it's the fact that he's now 90% of all discourse around BTC, which crowds out the much more fun discourse on adoption, technology, and philosophy of the project

@GoodTexture A random alone guy finding an eliptic curve scalar multiplication mistake in the code, and being able to code that alone without Opus 4.8 with long audit permissions from Anthropic and without guidance is virtually imposible.
English
@ThorTorrens That's always the case. Once you understand the value proposition and the leap ahead from bitcoin, it's pretty obvious. But it takes a bit of study and, amongst all highlights readers, there are always the geeks and libertarians that will be fascinated by the tech.
English
@ztipme Thought about this yesterday. FUD thrives on superficial takes. But for every person echo-chambering panic, there's a smart, analytical optimist who digs into the data and recognizes the true value proposition
