Are there going to be any custodial wallets for android/iphone allowing the export of private keys and using both Z and T addresses? (Y and S, if you will).

At launch, the answer is no.
Question: Are there any Zcash wallets that fit your description? Perhaps Shielded Guarda?
I like the idea of an ASIC-unfriendly coin with ZCashās privacy features. But the fact that only closed source miners are available is disappointing. It leaves the ecosystem at the mercy of a few mysterious developers, and requires a user to run code they canāt audit. So it would be great if there were an open source miner for Ycash. Are there any efforts in that direction, for example porting djezoās CUDA miner to (192,7)?

I agree that a highly performant open source miner for Equihash(192,7) would be fantastic. With that said, our priority is to fund the work to change the Proof of Work algorithm (to ProgPOW or RandomX) rather than fund development of an open source Equihash(192,7) miner.

Thanks for clarifying your priorities. Although I donāt think it would be all that much work to tweak and test an existing open source Equihash solver, prioritizing a better overall PoW is certainly understandable.
But I sure hope the eventual PoW has a good open source reference implementation. I canāt see the project retaining much credibility if it depends on magic binaries that may or may not be malicious.

Something worth noting here is that until mining on mainnet starts and the Ycash Foundation starts receiving a portion of block rewards, @hloo is bankrolling everything personally. (Correct me if Iām wrong there, Howard.) I think it makes sense to ruthlessly prioritize, get the project up and running, and then allocate capital toward everything else once thereās capital to allocate.

Can we please change the ycash logo? That hand-sign is cringe.
Sooooo we cant mine yet until the fork happens right? Just trying to get my bat files prepared and whatnot. Thanks!
Yup, thats right - mainnet mining wont work until the fork block (ETA 22:52 - Chile Time)
Edit: PM me if you get stuck, Iāve been doing this for a while now

Ty Chile! Always here to save the day! 
Rigs left ? Or just a single gpu operation ?
Me? I still have my test rig for playing with things, only three cards in it but its enough to keep me entertained.
Power is expensive here so its strictly a hobby thing.

I suggest a Coin-Holderās Vote to pick a new logo.

I actually like the logo. Itās a Y in ASL and/or could be the Hawaiian sign for hang loose. Symbolic of hanging loose while you mine your fortune. I think itāll catch on.

I also like the logo. Itās friendly and stands out from the usual āabstract geometrical shape that means nothingā default of most cybercoin projects. (Note: I have not rigorously surveyed cybercoin project logos, thatās just my impression.)

Hey, cowabunga! 20cha
Should the message of what could be a multi-million $ asset really be āhanging looseā ? If the logo isnāt serious, why should the project be taken seriously?

if you spent 5 minutes on social media where investors are, you would see how hard this is about to get dumped. It will hold a 10th of the value of ZEC on a good day.
I donāt think investors invest in companies based on how cool or uncool their logos areā¦Personally, Iām deciding whether or not to support this fork by the responses and amount of work that @hloo is putting in instead of his skill with Photoshop. The logo is pretty cool (or uncool depending on whoās judging) but probably the last thing Iām even considering when deciding whether or not to follow this fork.
