Documentary: Zcash, from Zidelined to Zillions

Hello!

Over the last 2 years, I’ve had the pleasure to interview some of the brightest minds in Zcash. From my point of view as a podcaster, it’s been amazing to witness how this project that most people considered dead has risen to prominence: not just price wise, but also in terms of attracting brilliant builders to refine the protocol or else bring new use cases to it.

Now that the 10 year anniversary of Zcash is approaching, I decided to look into my archive of interviews and turn them into a documentary. I have recorded so many opinions, both positive and negative, that I believe that it would be very interesting to put them all together.

Furthermore, I’ve been blessed to enjoy many hours of conversations with @joshs @zooko @ebfull @nuttycom. I was hoping to also get @amiller @valkenburgh but maybe there will be a sequel :upside_down_face:

For now, I present to you a trailer. Hopefully in a few weeks I will have something that’s close to a final screening.

I intend this to be a community project, something you can watch with your zidelined friends and the kind of thing you can screen at conferences and meetups. I don’t care much about copyright or whatever, I just want this to be used by anyone who likes it. If you find it useful, you can just send a donation and that’s how I will know that it’s useful or valuable to you.

Anyway, here’s the first trailer. I will be back when I have more stuff to show (though my podcasts are public, you can already anticipate what’s coming). Hope you will enjoy it, I even composed and recorded the music for it!

I took some footage from the upcoming documentary to make this short, which tells the story of the shielded pools and shows how the price reacted to every upgrade.

Hope you like it: https://youtu.be/1_duKWGMASA
