Some of @peacemonger’s initial findings were presented shortly after my opening. She has spent countless hours collecting feedback and conducting interviews with hundreds of Zcash users. ZEC holders were far less inclined to recommend ZEC to a friend than people who actively used ZEC.
This tied nicely into my following workshop on identifying ECC’s target user. We started here:
Where Zcashers are on the curve today, and where we need to push to. We talked about how, which fed into our conversations on features, their prioritization and R&D focus areas.
I shared this tweet, which very much was inline with what we discussed.
Another attendee brought up communities of interest, with dense membership that is likely to share and onboard others.
Where we landed was focusing our efforts to drive adoption for the “first 100 power users,” who will make use of the products and who sit adjacent to other potential visionaries and pragmatists. The hypothesis is that if these users LOVE the products and experience, they will naturally onboard others and we’ll capture the network effects necessary to cross the chasm.
I hope that helps give you all a picture of our time together, what drove conversations and where we’re both building and exploring.
