Folks: I’m really proud of this. https://blog.z.cash/zcash-invests-in-agoric/
Mark S. Miller is one of the most influential scientists on my entire career. Brian Warner was my closest collaborator for over a decade (he’s the co-inventor of Tahoe-LAFS, among many other good things). Dean Tribble and Bill Tulloh are awesome, too. 
I trust you in your judgement about those investments , and i like to heare always good news about zcash. Specially in implementation .
I have one point about the statement and i am not trying to be a jerk . The last sentence in the statement about the mission of zcash empowering everyone with economic freedom and opportunity.
Hence your position on the mining issue. How can you justify it ?
