**Good to see one more candidate with technical background standing. Since you are planning to run for a decision making - community position, it would be good to clarify the following points & any misunderstandings:** Early this year when you joined the forums and shared your technical knowledge on various posts, I reached out to you in April for collaboration before creating the Nighthawk grant & contribute to upstream codebase, which is useable by everyone, but you did not respond. Then, you went your way to build out a PoC wallet for your improved mobile syncing algorithms with Zwallet and Ywallet for Ycash. 1. Would you consider funding developers who contribute to upstream codebases which can be re-used by the wider Zcash community or fund individual developers working on their own projects(which might not have an immediate impact)? 2. Do plan to continue building for Ycash? > [@Zcash Thorchain Integration Grant](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-thorchain-integration-grant/39564/9): > > Hey @hanh > > Please review my post thoroughly before taking points out of context which only creates uncertainty and doubts within the Zcash community. I have worked really hard to make a lot of ends meet to make progress happen, so let’s work towards collaboration and improvements. > > Please DM me your timezone & when you can get on a call so I can answer to any shortcomings that you see. > [@Zcash Thorchain Integration Grant](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-thorchain-integration-grant/39564/10): > > Again, I don’t see why you need to discuss privately. Zcash has benefitted from kind and helping members from the community, ECC & ZF who have encouraged members wanting to build on Zcash & stick around. Following your rhetorical questions on my team’s Thorchain grant application, I wanted to connect with you to resolve your comments. But you have refused communication via DM. 1. Can you describe your plans & process of communication with your peers? > [@Zemo: Shielded Messaging🛡️speech\_balloon](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zemo-shielded-messaging/39751/5): > > I’m for free-speech and privacy but I really don’t want to have messages on the blockchain. It’s one thing to be able to have any conversation, it’s another to force everyone to get your words. In my opinion, it doesn’t benefit zcash and in the long run even hurt it by bloating the blockchain forever. > [@Zemo: Shielded Messaging🛡️speech\_balloon](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zemo-shielded-messaging/39751/28): > > More seriously, I don’t think it takes 4 senior devs to do this project 6 months. Check out these projects for example: [https://www.youtube.com/results?search\_query=gmail+clone+cs50](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gmail+clone+cs50) They were done by CS students. Slap in some rpc to zcashd and voila. As for vetting grants, it is easy to criticize, but difficult to appreciate the efforts of a grant applicant. In the past, you have made your comments with your assumptions and without asking questions (although that seems to have improved recently). 1. Would you be open to work with and encourage grant applicants and improve the proposals VS posting disqualifying comments before ZOMG meets? > [@CoinPayments Integration](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/coinpayments-integration/39094/28): > > I think a lesson we’ve learned here is that we will need to see direct commitment and involvement from all parties in the future (applicant and platform). It appears that they lobbied for this to happen while they’ve now just walked away, without any downside and without providing any color on how they intend to help us achieve our goal of continuing Zcash support going forward as their platform evolves. 1. What have you learned from your grant of CoinPayments integration failure? The payments till Milestone 2 were released to the total of $76,800. Is it still possible to convince CoinPayments to integrate ZEC support and utilize your code? Being technically skilled is one thing, but if ZOMG members cannot work with peers or applicants, then there is a risk of endless churn when attracting builders on Zcash, even after ZOMG members dedicate to a 20hr a month workload. 1. Do you have ideas to attract grant applicants? How does ZOMG attract high quality projects that benefit the Zcash community via adoption & growth? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/hanh-for-zomg-december-2021/39944)._
