To be fair to @valkenburgh, it’s not easy to be the public face of crypto while having to consider bitcoin maxis feelings.
I agree that to me ZF has been less communicative with the community compared to ECC. The Zecwallet situation is a recent example, and transition to PoS in another big one. If ZF has a plan for Zecwallet, what is it? What can the community works on to help complete the plan? What is ZF plan regarding the PoS transition? Does ZF even supports the transition? While I understand the reason why, not setting any expectation as one of them, I also want to see ZF elaborate their long-term plan for Zcash.
On ZSA, I am glad ECC didn’t pursue them. Instead we have QEDIT on board that will pursue this project. As a decentralized project, it’s unfair to criticize one team that have stated they have other priorities. If someone wants to build something on Zcash, let them do it. Nevertheless, I think ECC folks have been supportive to ZSA development (by other teams).
