Zcash Media YouTube Channel

@anon35140610 my intention is constructive debate

Official Channel

@anon35140610

My first concern is the wanting to be recognised as an official channel. I guess for me it doesn’t make sense since official channels are controlled by official teams.

What qualifies ECC and Zfnd to be recognised as official? Personally I think it’s because they deliver extraordinary value to the Zcash ecosystem combined with having the right core values and goals. Because they meet these conditions the community made it so .

I trust that:

• The current and future media “Zcash Media” produce will provide extraordinary value to Zcash
• The values and goals the team has demonstrated to date align with the communities values and goals
• Zfnd is able to negotiate the trademark complexities to protect Zcash and the trademark (which is used in the channel name) from any changes to @37L’s role

Content Licensing/Sharing

@anon35140610

For example, say you worked with ZF or ECC, and you produced content about say Zebra or NU5, I think it would be nice for either party to also be able to use that content, not necessarily on YouTube, but on other platforms

Good point.

Personally I trust that “Zcash Media’s” intentions are to extract as much value as possible from the content which might require them with restrict how final and/or raw media can be used by other parties. I’m also hopeful that ECC and Zfnd can build strong relationships with @37L and negotiate content creation and usage requirements/restrictions around these issue that are in the best interests of Zcash. The community will continue assess @37L’s performance over time and advocate/act accordingly.

Personally I think it’s in the communities best interests to increase the likelihood that @37L can produce a longer documentary that has strong roots tied to Zcash. If that means we have to trust they’ll do the right thing for awhile I’m all for it.

For example, if the longer documentary was to be pitched/distributed to another platform @37L may run into roadblocks if too much of the raw material is considered “recycled” because it was distributed by 3rd parties.

In regard to your second point: with the connections that we have developed through our careers, we think we can absolutely pitch this content to Netflix, HBO, or other streaming services. However, we think that by making the short documentary and educational series we proposed first, we can accomplish two goals at once: (i) the short doc and education series can be made and released without any paywall so that anyone can learn about Zcash, (ii) the footage and videos we make would go a long way in serving as pitch materials for a longer documentary to larger streaming services.
