It seems the priority of the first 200 drops is only the product sales. Also, the distribution of the next 9800 will be done by MightyJaxx? I guess we won’t see them use Zcash then. sweat_smile source: [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/879624115894489099/933895818522529802/958039579972210718) ---
