As a fun experiment, I’ve decided to open up my Fun Friday task for tomorrow to a vote! Here are the things I was considering:

  • Write ZIP 304 specifying signmessage support for Sapling shielded addresses.
  • Make some branches that test out moving the librustzcash crate into the zcash/zcash codebase.
  • Throw myself at the Automake wall again to try and figure out how to finish deprecating zcutil/build.sh :persevere:
  • Resurrect some of my old branches that enable us to remove OpenSSL as a dependency of zcashd.

Results time:

  • Twitter: OpenSSL removal!
  • Forum: Shielded signmessage!
  • Chat: Deprecating zcutil/build.sh!

And summing all votes:

  • 26: Shielded signmessage
  • 8: Moving librustzcash into zcash/zcash
  • 8: Deprecating zcutil/build.sh
  • 29: Removing OpenSSL dependency

So today, I’m rewriting zcashd’s experimental wallet encryption to remove OpenSSL :closed_lock_with_key::package:
