@cipherscan_app If you *keep* most of your funds in the shielded pool, you do not need to play these quantization games. Human beings are bad at it anyway! Just @zodl_app your ZEC.

Want to blend in on Zcash? Use common amounts. If you shield 7.3192 ZEC, you stand out. If you shield 1.25 or 2.5 you look like thousands of others. Here are the most used amounts right now.

this is not necessarily a victory. they're likely to try normalizing centralized, permissioned, and weakened solutions that will enable surveillance and censorship of good people, leaving the door open to continue persecuting developers for publishing code as works of speech

🇺🇸 NEW: The United States Department of the Treasury admits crypto mixers have legitimate privacy uses on public blockchains.

zcash is probably the coolest piece of tech in crypto a bit of novel math and you get untraceable secret money that flows across the planet

@secparam Was that before or after the low-order point CryptoNote bug was exploited in Bytecoin? Close call...

1st zk circuit exploit, and it's from, checks notes, not running the setup. Note, it's not the 1st zk exploit. That was a coin that took my grad student code off GitHub, complete with readme that says don't use in production, it's buggy, and got it exploited in production.
zkSecurity@zksecurityXYZ

The first two known exploits against live ZK circuits just happened, and they weren't subtle underconstrained bugs. They were Groth16 verifiers deployed without completing the trusted setup ceremony. One was white-hat rescued for ~$1.5M, the other drained for 5 ETH. 🧵

Planetary scale privacy. Future proof cryptography. In parallel. No compromises. Zcash.
Arjun Khemani@arjunkhemani

Zcash coin holders made their priorities clear: scaling (Tachyon) and post-quantum readiness. @zkDragon joined me for a whiteboard session to discuss how we deliver both. 0:00 - Intro 0:43 - What it takes to scale Zcash 16:40 - Rough timeline on scaling 19:15 - What it takes to go post-quantum 32:23 - Rough timeline on going post-quantum

VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN
It’s my 34th birthday, I’m sick in bed, haven’t been outside in 4 days, and I’ve never felt lonelier. At least my girlfriend drew this for me, but it might be the last one. I can’t even drink alcohol because I’m taking antibiotics. No cake or candles either. Good night!

I think it's legitimate (I just talked about that) and fair (I just called it an open process) and while I think there are flaws (I just listed many) I don't think these raise doubts that the vote showed coinholders are very opposed to ZSAs. How much more would you like me to live within your framing and terms of discussion?

@ebfull A human communication layer is a benefit to the protocol. Let’s find a civil place to do it. I was warned when I first posted that some in the community could be “harsh,” but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Maybe lessons were learned. X is harsher.

Why would coinholders engage on the community forums? There were a lot of us who for many years hated going to that forum, and thought there was a whole community of Zcashers deliberately avoiding it. Turns out a lot of those voiceless people were paying our salaries.
