Challenges

  • Poor network connectivity was a big challenge for us

  • Refusal to take part in the wallet sign up and X activities by some attendees due to personal reasons

  • Refusal to participate in photo shoots by some members due to personal reasons

Areas to improve

  • Encourage community to participate in all activities

Conclusion
Despite the shortfalls, the Zcash Ghana Meetup was a success. The event educated participants on Zcashโ€™s role in privacy-preserving finance, demonstrated shielded transactions, and encouraged community involvement. Attendees left with both theoretical and practical skills, strengthening Zcashโ€™s position in Ghanaโ€™s crypto ecosystem.
