Perhaps. How would you respond to the common FUD that ZCash is a private US company, so if the fed Government subpoenaed them for user IPs, they would be forced to hand them over.
Goes hand in hand with Zooko’s WannaCry post.
So I wonder - what type of anonymity is ZCash aiming for? Is it mainstream anonymity (ie hiding money from a spouse, or buying embarrassing items online)? And if so… how will the market react - will they accept this? Or will they flock elsewhere (ie Monero gaining big traction on the Darkmarkets while Bitcoin remains the king for visible transactions).
The centralised nature of ZCash confuses me a little. I’d love to hear some examples of why end users would be keen on an anonymous currency which actively roots out illegal behavior. I’m sure I must be missing something about ZCash’s potential here.
