Thanks @daira for responding to this thread. I bet community is excited to hear about scaling efforts currently being pursued by the team.
Launching it as separate test and real shielded-only blockchain and token perfectly makes sense for everyone. My suggestion (when that happens) would be to re-use zcash name (like bitcoin cash) and also call it friendly-fork? (one of its kind new blockchain fork). Zcash Bonsai would be ideal (github issue) but it’s not catchy. Other ideas for names include: Zcash Compact, Zcash Mini, Zcash Next (I like this as this is ambiguous to support newer tech), Zcash Sub etc.,
Zcash Next could be litecoin of Zcash. Eventually, Zcash can and will adopt tech present in Zcash Next.
