Hi guys! Am I too late to join in? I really want to learn how to run a zcash server! Let’s decentralize the sh*t out of the zcash network! Shields up! 
u1rj99dvxnx0zf38wja9tlev8szh59c3pj2g94k9hqmqh5dql2454h2ngrwgrnqtva6kz2rge8kg0v8cgxre05krzg9wpau8n0prheaqrume77856gsc9ygdrlpay9tfq849n44xru6ws9gad4z8ucnr43s2jcs97ugasjv9g2w72wswymxwew0lgfxhrhnww9puwmywqrx00p7zh35e0
Are only 20 wallets going to be selected for this?
I am a bit late to the party but will participate if possible:

Very excited to get started! Everyone who posts in this thread before midnight UTC on January 26th, 2025 will be invited to the group chat.
Technical people: we need your help to adequately provide support to this huge class size! If you’re interested in being a mentor, send me a message on or off-chain.
All curriculum will be posted here as we are learning. The main reason we are treating this like a class is to be respectful of our technical mentors’ time.
We’ll be moving very fast! Again, no servers are required, no computers are required, no technical knowledge is required. The $90/month ZEC stipend is intended to retroactively pay for your hosting costs, as a reward for participating, for up to six months.
We will limit that reward to the 20 participants with the best uptime as determined by Hosh, but will announce a crowdfunding address to increase the size of our “reward lockbox”. It’s possible that we’ll be able to reimburse everyone.
Invites are going out this weekend! I’ll post an update on Sunday with our first tasks.
To message me on-chain:

I am interested in participating as well. I understand that the initiative involves running a publicly accessible lightwalletd server, which requires running a fullnode.

I am already running a zcashd node (albeit from behind home network), but would be happy to participate in the workshop and learn more.

I join you in the very excited camp! Keep checking the wallet and forum but haven’t seen anything yet. Should we be sending you a message to your on-chain address?
I started running lightwalletd including zcash node 2 days ago and fullnode still hasn’t yet synced. It is at 82% as of now. Looks like i cannot access the wallet address until it is synced.
So the wallet address i provided above is not the one to be used to track node online status.
Also, I have followed the steps here to setup my node. Would like to know what other instructions to follow or is there any group chat i can join wrt workshop.
Hi all! We’re going to push back the start date by two days in order to make a few adjustments to our approach, to make sure that we can support the incredible class size.
I’ll post a quick update here once all of the Zcash messages have been sent.
Excited to start!
Invites sent! Check your wallets 
If you don’t see anything, send me a private message on the forum and I will get you sorted.
We appreciate your patience! The extra few days allowed us to adjust our approach, and to unexpectedly secure more funding from a generous community member. (thank you!)
We can now provide the $90 uptime rewards to 50 participants per month instead of 20, which should cover the majority of their hosting costs for up to six months.
Our curriculum is a work in progress, thank you for helping us beta test it! We will open source and post it here after the thirty day workshop is completed, along with a summary of what we learned while hosting our first workshop.
Our team will provide 1:1 support to participants for these thirty days, and will keep the group chats moderated for six months, providing individualized support time-permitting.
Here we go! Let’s make our server list huge.
I finnagled a similar thing with the hosh server status by running zecping on a cron and then auto pushes the report to github (thx dismd) with the intention of providing the same data as hosh. I stopped it today but basically it worked, though could definitely be optimized and cleaned up and prettified! I was just pushing to a repo called ‘burner’. Anyways, yeah 
Great initiative, I’m excited to contribute to further Zcash decentralisation.
I had a quick scan through the many responses, and one thing I noticed is that of the 42 responders that I counted, 16 (or 38%) of them were first time posters in the forum.
This is another data point showing that the Zcash Underground is thriving and we just see the tip of the iceberg in these public channels.
Welcome to all the new posters!
Stacking, lurking, learning for over a year. Surfaced for this as soon as I heard about it.
@emersonian what an amazing initiative. I would love to do my part if you have still some room left.
Big thx
