An Open Letter to the Zcash Mining Community

Thanks, every bit helps!

I think open source miner(s) are exactly the types of projects in addition to non-linux platform support that the Zcash Foundation will fund when its setup (any update on the ETA for that, @zooko ?)

I just dropped a release candidate for Zcash for Windows, but am STILL short on rent!

Yes Iā€™ve been meaning to add a ā€œContributionsā€ page! Thatā€™ll be in the round of website updates when I get docs written for the Windows release

Good idea! So far the largest donors have been anonymous (it IS zcash!), such as the Xmas Eve donation that paid januaryā€™s rent

I have just sent you 7 ZEC. Hope thatā€™s enough to cover the rent!

thank you, yes, thatā€™ll pick up my ISP bill for the month, too!

so whatā€™s your vote for next on my hit-listā€¦localization support or Android full node?

I leave this up to youā€¦ for whatever the demand from the community is most.

Just curious - what is meant by ā€˜localisation supportā€™?

foreign languages, right now its english only and the machinery to do builds for other languages is NOT there right now

I donā€™t see that as a priority right now. I think that if you can distribute up to date all in One ZCash client (Full node + Gui) for all platforms (Linux, MacOS and Windows) and distribute it on an unique website thatā€™d be great.

yeah there has been more call for an android full node for high end phones right now than foreign language supportā€¦Iā€™m working on getting linux/win/mac all in one source tree right now (they are in 3 branches at the moment)
