@GoodTexture Wait until at some point this gets revealed, just like Snowden was revealed by zooko after the *ceremony*

if I valued narratives over truth, I would never tell you $zec, as commonly used, is not provably private. I truly believe satoshi works for zcash and I truly believe zcash sent over iPhones or Androids is not private. have been very open about this. how is me telling everyone that the leading zcash wallet, zodl, has never sent a provably private transaction, ever, good for the bullish narrative?

@ECHInstitute @EliBenSasson @StarkWareLtd Can we have #zkdisclosure on the @ZecHub @Zcash #zcash blockchain on the UFO 🛸 & UAP files ?

Imagine being so deep in a cult that you call a proof of work, no premine, privacy coin a shitcoin and then have absolutely no clue that Hal wanted it to exist back in 1993 when he wrote: “Cryptography can make possible a world in which people have control over information about themselves, not because government has granted them that control, but because only they possess the cryptographic keys to reveal that information.. ..The goal of electronic cash is to allow these same kinds of private transactions to take place electronically" From Protecting Privacy with Electronic Cash Zoko remembers because he's a real cypherpunk that grew up with Hal, Adam and the rest. The Bitcoin Maxi cargo cult doesn't. They bought an orange coin because Mike told them it will make them rich.

Here are the full five minutes from @zooko's talk at @ns, including the private conversation with his friend Hal Finney shortly before Hal passed away. Our earlier clip missed context. That's on us.

With many crypto fans souring on bitcoin, some are getting behind Zcash, a privacy token that lets users shield transaction details and remain anonymous on.wsj.com/435cPir

A Small Manifesto Against the Current @Zcash Bandwagon Zcash is a remarkable piece of cryptography, but cryptography isn't the bottleneck for crypto in 2026. Distribution, liquidity, and developer adoption are. And those are the exact dimensions on which Zcash is structurally disadvantaged. 1. Network effects work against single-purpose privacy chains Privacy is a network-effect product: the larger the anonymity set, the stronger the privacy guarantee. Zcash currently has ~30% of supply in shielded pools, and most activity moves in and out of the shielded layer rather than staying within it. A shielded pool with ~5M ZEC and a few thousand daily active users provides meaningfully less privacy than the same cryptographic primitives running on an L1 with 10M+ daily addresses. The math is brutal. If 100 people hide in a room, finding any individual is hard. If 100 million people hide in a room, it's impossible. Privacy coins concentrate users. Privacy features on general-purpose chains recruit them. 2. Liquidity and acceptance are non-negotiable A privacy coin that gets delisted from major exchanges, as Zcash repeatedly has across Japan, Korea, the UK, and parts of the EU, becomes harder to acquire, harder to exit, and harder to use at scale. Privacy tools built on Ethereum, Solana, or Base inherit the liquidity of the underlying chain. You don't have to choose between privacy and the ability to transact with the rest of the financial system. Zcash forces that choice. Nobody wants to make it. 3. People don't want private money. They want private applications Most people don't need to hide a $50 ZEC transfer. They need confidential business payments, private payroll, undisclosed treasury operations, sealed-bid auctions, private voting and confidential DeFi positions that don't leak through transaction graphs. None of these run on a privacy coin. They run on smart contract platforms with privacy primitives like @aztecnetwork on Ethereum, @AleoHQ as its own L1, @solana 's confidential transfers, @penumbrazone in the Cosmos ecosystem, FHE-based chains like @fhenix and ZK-rollups in general The future of privacy is programmable, not denominational. 4. The technology has been completely commoditized zk-SNARKs were Zcash's moat in 2016. By 2026, they're the foundation of every major L2, dozens of privacy systems, and most rollup architectures. The Zcash team did the foundational research, and then watched the IP escape. The chains that benefited most aren't paying rent to Zcash, and they never will. It's one of the cleanest examples in crypto of pioneering a technology and capturing none of the value. 5. Regulatory exposure cuts the wrong way Privacy coins occupy a uniquely vulnerable regulatory category. Privacy tools on general-purpose chains can be designed with selective disclosure, view keys for auditors, compliance hooks and they live inside chains regulators have already accepted as legitimate financial infrastructure. Zcash has built the same compliance tooling (view keys, selective disclosure protocols) but still carries the "privacy coin" label that triggers automatic delisting regardless of actual functionality. The technology isn't the problem. The category is. 6. The unit-of-account problem For privacy to matter for real economic activity, it has to be denominated in money people actually use, this is the biggest lesson in crypto over the past 5 years. Nobody pays salaries, settles invoices, or runs treasuries in ZEC. They use USD, EUR, USDC, USDT. Privacy that requires switching unit-of-account is privacy that won't be used at scale. The winning model is private stablecoins and private transfers of mainstream assets, which requires programmability Zcash structurally doesn't have and isn't on a path to building. 7. The "private Bitcoin" comparison is just stupid At the end of the day, Zcash only really competes with Bitcoin, except it doesn't, because the "private Bitcoin" framing falls apart on contact with reality. You don't get to slap "private" on as a feature and call yourself Bitcoin's successor when you don't have the liquidity, the decentralized robustness, the regulatory acceptance, the size, or the history. Bitcoin's hashrate is distributed across hundreds of pools and tens of thousands of independent miners globally. Zcash's hashrate is functionally controlled by a handful of pools running ASICs from a few Chinese manufacturers. Zcash inherited Bitcoin's consensus model with a fraction of Bitcoin's decentralization. And decentralization isn't a sliding scale where "more" earns you partial credit. It's binary. You're either close enough to Bitcoin to inherit the monetary properties that come with extreme decentralization, as Ethereum genuinely is, or you're not, and the "moneyness" argument doesn't apply to you at all. Ethereum and even Solana have an order of magnitude better chances of reaching Bitcoin's market cap than Zcash does. That's not a controversial claim. It's just looking at the data.

Zcash $ZEC makes its debut in @WSJ via @GZuckerman @Vlajournaliste wsj.com/finance/curren…

@iam_Maimo Those against this are the longtime Etoo haters, the longtime Drogba lovers and the current Onana fan club. So it’s not a surprise.

We had this, and honestly, we all agreed it never reflected the magnitude, prestige, and history of Cameroon football. For a country of our football pedigree, it was embarrassing. Now Samuel Eto’o comes in and delivers a world class FECAFOOT headquarters, a modern symbol of ambition, structure, and respect for our football, and somehow some people are angry that others are celebrating it. What exactly is wrong with us? Do we only unite around negativity, insults, and slander? Have we reached a point where people are more comfortable criticizing progress than appreciating it? Must everything always be bad news before some of you feel satisfied? This culture of bitterness is slowly poisoning us. Soon, we won’t even recognize ourselves anymore or know where to draw the line between accountability and pure hatred. Not everything has to become a battlefield. This is a big win for Cameroon. A big win for Cameroon football. And whether you support Eto’o or not, credit must be given where it is due. Simply remarkable.

Zcash wouldn't exist without @zooko. He seeded the technical and cultural values of the project that have kept us vigilant in defense of its integrity. Much of Zcash's recent success has been because Zooko plays a less central role in the project, and it has decentralized and grown to transcend him. I think he would agree! But he is still a major spiritual force of the project, and an ally that wants it to succeed. Let's be mindful of the signal we send our next generation of risk takers, by how we treat his legacy. Zcash has a long road ahead of it, and no single one of us can carry it across the finish line. We're all liable to end up in @zooko's shoes one day. You do not want to be on the receiving end of the poetic justice served for the things you said when you were once on the winning team.

@MakisMedicine Hello sir, I’m passionate about helping the cancer patients in my country Cameroon, how do I team up with you to get this help reach us? I’ll be grateful if you can be of assistance

BREAKING NEWS: Mayo Clinic is offering me an "Executive Director" position for up to $400k 😃 Oh and they're not the only one. My email inbox is suddenly filling up with Executive job offers from several big Pharmaceutical companies. So this is what I get for helping 9000+ Cancer patients with Ivermectin & Mebendazole and leading the largest Ivermectin Cancer Project in the world? After talking about a New Florida Cancer Clinic? 🤔 If they can't sabotage me, they'll just buy me out? 💵 I have to admit, it is mildly amusing. Ten years ago, I may have jumped at something like this. It's almost tailor made for me. But at this stage of my life...can't say I felt even a hint of temptation. They really don't know me very well 😃 Sorry, Mayo Clinic. I'm building a Cancer Center in Florida. It's going to be a bit different from yours. 😉

What if you could spend crypto without selling it? Or giving up your private keys? 👀 Introducing $DGB DigiDollar: World’s 1st UTXO, time-locked, over-collateralized stablecoin built on DigiByte. ⚡️ Here is a video intro + tech deep dive + wallet demo. Watch & repost! $BTC

Satoshi Nakamoto registered e-cash.org on July 20, 2008, a month before registering bitcoin.org He's never given up the domain name and it's currently registered with Dynadot. Meaning the owners of Dynadot literally know who Satoshi Nakamoto is.

The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.

Great

@adam3us @WillFPrice @TheRealPlanC Secondly, what the odds Gavin andresen or zooko also have a clue who this fellow was/is?

@WillFPrice @TheRealPlanC Is there a source you mentioned. I did see in the past people analyze forum post time of day. But the times they mention are really upside down form Europe starts at 6am PST which is 9pm start and continued until late, for Europe that's continuous all-nighters...

For anyone who watched the "Finding Satoshi" movie. It was the best-made documentary and most credible theory to date on the subject. I watched it twice. My thoughts: Opsec and anonymity infrastructure - Len 95% Wrote the Bitcoin code - Finney 90% Writing of the whitepaper - Len 90% Ran early network and mining - Finney 90% Public "Satoshi" voice - Len 90% The ideas in the whitepaper - Jointly designed Economic mechanism design - Jointly designed Disappearance decision - Jointly designed Decided not to move the coins - Jointly, both clearly not money-driven We are ALL Satoshi. These two men were GREAT men and legends.

@adam3us @WillFPrice @TheRealPlanC You seem to give valid points to disprove so many claims that comes out. So who do you think is closest to the person behind this pseudoname Satoshi? You may tell us you know this person but choose to keep it private since he/she wanted to be private
