Technical RFC: ZEC-NAM shielded airdrop mechanism

Just wanted to drop a brief update here - we’re continuing to work on this - in particular, in addition to addressing the ECC’s excellent feedback, we’ve decided to try to generalize the protocol so that:

  • it will also work with Orchard, which seems to be desired by the Zcash community (and we wouldn’t want to accidentally create an incentive for people not to move to Orchard)
  • the protocol (or parts of the protocol) can easily be used in the future by other teams and projects who might also wish to airdrop to ZEC - which I personally think actually might happen a lot more if it were just technically easier to execute

We will drop another update soon when we have a fully updated proposal and have completed our internal review.
