Thanks for the discussion. I wanted to make sure to respond to a few of the points.
On visibility, that’s fair. The site is three months old. But the proposal doesn’t depend on Proof Street’s reach, every piece would be mirrored open-access to ZecHub or whichever community hub ZCG prefers, so the work reaches Zcash readers through channels the community already uses. The publication’s own readership arrives through direct channels and practitioner sharing, which is the normal shape for a trade publication at this stage.
On writing about Zcash in areas where it doesn’t currently have a presence, that is the point. Comparisons between shielding and FHE, MPC, and TEEs are being made largely without Zcash in the room. The series argues Zcash’s case in those comparisons on technically accurate terms, which trading-focused content doesn’t attempt.
If the committee’s hesitation is scale, I’m open to structuring this as a pilot, the first two pieces at proportional cost, with the remainder at ZCG’s option after you’ve seen the work.
