First of all, I love the colors and layout of the menu . My favorite video ideas are Privacy Stories (6) and Whiteboard (4) – a lot can be done here. Reflecting on my initial thoughts I’ve come to the same conclusion, I support this grant in full. The quality of the story telling is by far my favorite part and I think is needed moving forward as privacy concerns come front and center.
For reference:
I thought the first proposal was overpriced but after watching the results I changed my mind. I support this proposal and hope the next wave of videos further increases Zcash adoption.
Many seem to be making decisions based on fear, fear of lower prices. We could moon tomorrow and most of the arguments against this wouldn’t matter. Everyone that has posted in this thread has concluded the videos are top notch. I say be bold and fearless, assume the best.
If zcash github is taken down, where would users find the source code? Are we having the Napster moment of blockchain? Similarity’s between decentralized storage (think public vs private trackers) and money are interesting. History may give clues on how it plays out. When everyone is forced to care, the real fun starts, and youll wish you knew where to find all the information you need to stay ahead of big broffer. Youll also wish you had at least 1 Zcash.
I think until a large % of the crypto economy realize the importance of privacy, this will continue. Found an older article about bitcoin which I found interesting:
In the public’s imagination, overnight the bitcoin went from being the currency of tomorrow to a dystopian joke. The Electronic Frontier Foundation quietly stopped accepting bitcoin donations. Two Irish scholars specializing in network analysis demonstrated that bitcoin wasn’t nearly as anonymous as many had assumed: They were a…
Another thought – as wallets either get fixed or released and orchard shifts into gear, we need to be ready.
I’m not surprised because:
95% of people are unable to figure out how to sync their full nodes
Of these people, even fewer know how to use zcash-cli to send and use UA’s correctly
Because of the sync issues, Zecwallet Fullnode is unusable for almost everyone.
Ywallet, the most used wallet it seems, does not support UA’s yet
Other mobile wallets from my experience are still unusable past the first few tx’s. ( Syncing still takes too long)
Happy to note all these issues will be fixed soon, but…
