It’s pretty obvious to me that we’re on the way out:
- ZSA. Or was it idle chatter at ZCON that everything is ready for a test network, but I don’t think so.
- There are advances in terms of PoS. And that’s what most Zcashers would like to see as soon as possible, because it is:
(a) will bring them the ability to earn ZECs
(b) will get a lot of people to take ZEC off the exchange rather than renting it out to shorts at 1% APR
(c) will additionally create a shortage of coins, because issuance will be redistributed from miners to holders.
(d) as a consequence, coupled with halving, the deficit will push the price of ZEC up and this will finally create investment demand, allowing to fill the developers’ coffers to the brim. - All the other things that Arborist Call has been saying from meeting to meeting for years in a circle.
I really wish any other far fetched stuff (like discussing hypothetical L2s) would just go away and not distract the developers from the important issues.
