here is the old news but seems like still valid to share **_Zcash Worth Consideration_** **_Zcash has launched since AlphaBay adopted Monero, and many are wondering if this could be the next altcoin tested out by the darknet markets. The Zcash market cap is currently less than a tenth of Monero’s._** **_When asked whether AlphaBay will adopt Zcash, a support representative told Bitcoin Magazine, “In the future we might. It looks like a good alternative.”_** [Source](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/alphabay-comments-on-bitcoin-congestion-monero-adoption-and-zcash-possibilities-1482345512/) ---

I appreciate the enthusiasm for Zcash to be used for vendor transactions on different platforms, but Zcash Company does not support or encourage Zcash use on darknet markets. ---
