A Shielded Prize

At the beginning of our ZconVI Clip Games, the prize is kept in a shielded Zcash address.

u135nx6209gauu5zw0n85kg5f5s90nkthd9q23whqsypjmvx2zagsqpdutqj6ffvm8luc75vp4wkheg6mq6s4g4r92geckftmwmcejj9ll3gtjpgr3lmtyv5dvqulxsryz6yndvsf7gwfq899jgltafwczwmxzpl7pzx0mq7da0yx54djfpek7v2v3ajxdlsl56s2caknq4ev8xxcdfl2

On the first day of ZconVI, during The State of Zcash in 2025 with Jack Gavigan, the shielded address viewing key will be shared, allowing everyone to discover the starting prize value for themselves, together.

Meanwhile …

I’m calling upon you, Zcash lovers and addicts, to help grow the prize to a fantastic degree in hopes of a big reveal and a spectacular start to ZconVI.

Get in on this action!

These prize-raising games will run from the time this post is published until I share the viewing key during the first presentation of the live event.

Make It Rain!

You: Send 1 ZEC

Me: Add 0.05 ZEC

5 ZEC Bandit

You: Send 5 ZEC

Me: Add 0.5 ZEC

What Number am I Thinking?

The first transaction to the shielded address holding the prize has a value that is:
(>= 0.10 && <= 0.15) ZEC

Send a shielded transaction with a 2-digit whole number value that is 100x the value of my transaction and include your return address in the memo.

Guess the correct number? You get your money back!

AND THEN?! I will add 4 ZEC for every incorrect guess and 20 ZEC to the prize for every correct guess.

Prize-raising games will conclude with the sharing of the viewing key, which I will mark using a memoed transaction to the prize address before managing reciprocal contributions and return transactions.

When the ZconVI livestreams commence, the veil lifts, the prize is revealed, and the race to clip and win begins!

ZconVI Clip Games Coinholder Vote

The ZconVI Clip Games voting registration period is from block 2849000 (10 March 2025) to block 2851304 (approximately 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 12 March 2025)

Register to vote:

This is a non-binding vote which will help inform judges to crowd favourites.

Participants must transfer Zcash (ZEC) into the Orchard pool during the registration period.

  1. Create a new wallet.
  2. Move ZEC into the Orchard pool during the registration period.
  3. After the registration period ends but before voting, move the ZEC out of the wallet you’ll use to vote so that, when you later enter the seed phrase to vote, the wallet will be empty and your funds remain safe.

Once the registration deadline has passed, you’ll be able to proceed to the next step and cast your vote.

Voting:

  1. Download the latest Zcash Vote App
