Trezor support for Zcash shielded transactions

Hey there, Trezor team and fellow enthusiasts,

First off, big ups to you for the transparency and dedication to privacy and security in the crypto world. It’s really cool to see all the work you’ve put into making Zcash shielded transactions possible, even if things didn’t pan out as expected. Shoutout to Tomas for his stellar work on the first three milestones!

But, here’s a thought: some of us tinkerers are itching to get our hands dirty. I’ve got a homemade Trezor running off a Raspberry Pi (Open source baby!), and from what I can gather, it should handle shielded transactions. Maybe some others in the community are in a similar spot.

So, what if you guys could whip up a guide to help us add Zcash shielded transactions to our DIY Trezors? I’m thinking, if you can’t do it officially yet, maybe we can take a crack at it. Heck, it might even be possible for you to apply for a grant for creating this guide.

Think about it - could be a way to move things forward, keep the community engaged and keep the spirit of open source innovation alive while staying within the technical and resource constraints.

Cheers,
Tmek
