The Design team created this contest to expand the reach of Zcash through the MFZ ledger, using the design SubDao to validate the contest and have a trusted address to help promote the ledger.

Redesign of ZecHub Logo
I thought of a very simple solution for the ZecHub logo. The logo is used in many applications and sometimes with confusing backgrounds, which makes the current logo, even with the variations, white, black, and gray and in negative, difficult to contrast. So why not remove the central circle and make it possible to use any color? That’s what we did.
So, to keep it in line with the design, the logo can be used in any possible color, avoiding gradients and never using patterns within the logo, because the idea is to simplify, not complicate.

@JamesKatz dev Report: Zcash Brazil - November 2024
Many services maintained by James Katz depend on VPC hosting and API keys. Dizzy was moved to its own EC2 AWS instance, for better performance.
All of these service payments are up to date. Currently, these services are:
- 5 Amazon AWS / LightSail instances
- OpenAI API key
Dizzy, the discord bot for receiving, sending, and tipping users with $zec went through a major upgrade!
Created thanks to Zcash Foundation’s Minor Grants program, Dizzy was developed using ZecWallet’s lib.
Before Nu6 activation on the mainnet, the Dizzy bot was upgraded to work with Zingolab’s zingolib.
We had a few missed payments due to Nu6’s unexpected behavior, which was immediately solved.
Dizzy received not only improvements on the backend but on the front end as well. Now it displays only the unified address by default, making the user experience cleaner.
ZecFaucet also was updated to work with Nu6.
This month, James also provided help to other Zcash ecosystem projects, like the Zcash Community Telegram group and ZecHub.
For the Telegram group, James helps develop and maintain a bot that aims to improve the ggroup’ssecurity against scammers.
For ZecHub, James worked on solving some issues with Transactions Charts on the dashboard page.
As far as we can tell, there is no modern, actively maintained software for generating Zcash Wallets offline, that offers support for Unified Addresses.
James aims to solve this by developing and maintaining a Zcash paper wallet written in rust using librustzcash. Currently, in early development, the software can already generate an arbitrary number of wallets, displaying their mnemonic phrases, unified full viewing key, and all derived addresses from its default diversifier. This software also has a unique feature of estimating wallet creation height.
Future work will be done to export wallets in different formats like PNG and PDF.
@Vito PR report, Vito is also helping zechub on media socials.

@E-zec CM report:
Overview
This month, Zcash Brazil continued steadily onboarding new users, providing full-time support for the entire community across platforms such as Zechub, MFZ, and others. Rewards were distributed for participation in activities like community calls, quizzes, and good actions, helping to incentivize engagement and foster a supportive atmosphere.
We had some new members of the community and onboarding the entire zcash system for them, in addition, we had coverage of the halving and we discussed its news with nu6 in addition to the ongoing Zashi promotion.
