tracking work on this repository.

@nuttycom and @str4d are teaming up in some serious housekeeping work overhauling transparent Zcash APIs. I know there are a lot of people that are not specifically fans of T, but development-wise it is important to have everything where it belongs in its own places. Although Transparent Zcash was always around, sometimes it felt it was all over the place but still with not much cohesion with the rest of the pools’ APIs. Many people approach ZEC through the transparent side of things, so these APIs mimicking how shielded ones are structured is a very positive thing. Also the code looks and feels much more tidy and easy to approach. Kudos!
