Zecweb.com - online zcash wallet

Hi @kworks and thanks for the grant submission. :pray: I appreciate the effort you’ve put into Zecweb.com already, and your initiative is great! (It also made me smile to see where the “New Brunswick” post on ZECPages came from :blush: (the “create Zcash promotion” video here)

That said, I do share many of the concerns mentioned above. A web wallet won’t be private, will be risky for funds stored within, and I think likely won’t be trusted by users. And it seems you plan to charge for this web wallet service, which makes sense infrastructurally (nodes aren’t free!) but as a potential user, it’s unlikely I’ll pay for a wallet I see likely providing less security and fewer features than my free options.

ZecWallet, a trusted brand, actually released a web wallet back in the day, which was taken down due to disuse for similar reasons to the above. (Lack of privacy, risk of lost funds, poor performance) - It would help us understand and discuss your project if you speak a bit to how you see ZecWeb overcoming these challenges and becoming a useful tool that with decent security assurances.
