I think the work of ZecHub in 2023 was amazing and awesome.
I hope it continues in 2024.
I have a few questions
For the bounty pool, how are the ZEC left over after rewarding the participants managed?
Won’t there be any ZEC left in the bounty pool in 2023?
The rewards for ZecHub contributors seem a bit high, and now the ZCG committee rewards seem to be reduced. It would be nice if everyone could make some concessions.
ZecHub is invaluable. I hope it runs for a long time.
ZEC remaining in Bounty Pool after 2023 is hoped to rollover into the project next year.
Yes, there will be approximately 50 ZEC left, as estimated in our Treasury Report.
We are conscious of the current climate hence why our project proposal was set to 5 months. There was also heavy consideration of a smaller team & working less hours but these options were, in our opinion sub optimal for the project.
@squirrel at the most recent meeting, the @ZcashGrants Committee voted to approve this proposal and has requested that you provide monthly updates via the forum in this thread.
We have a lot of work ahead, I appreciate everyone’s support. Education works better when everyone contributes, so please reach out if you have ideas, or want to contribute.

Next Steps
Been a busy and productive month, we hope to continue the momentum and help educate the community on eveything Zcash. Moving forward we will
On behalf of ZecHub I want to thank all contributors and those have supported us behind the scenes. Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or want to help in anyway.
zechub looks more like a fan site with “Made by Manuel Rios” in the footer instead of something like “ZecHub DAO is a community-led group that governs ZecHub’s strategy and direction.”
Does the DAO have the private key for the “donate now” address?
The other footer links for About, Privacy Policy, Licensing, Contact all resolve to this
The DAO controls spend authority of the DAO Treasury. Our Bounties are distributed in Shielded ZEC. There is no way to use shielded multisig… yet.
The Donation Address & ZEC Treasury viewkey are both available to all DAO members upon request. We also hold Treasury Reports every few months. Next one is Tuesday April 2nd.
A subset of DAO members controls our .eth domain name. The .icns domain is controlled by me. How would we distribute control of the .xyz / .org domains?
Yes! robots.txt, another great suggestion.
Open invitation for anyone to view and/or make pull requests to improve our wiki site:GitHub - ZecHub/zechub-wiki
The stats haven’t been released yet but we do focus on adding features and making the wiki more user friendly.
