Congratulations @zcash on passing Block Height 3,000,000 🎉

fun fact I did not attend a single conference or event during the first 1.5-2y of Helius did not even go to the first 2 breakpoints and sponsored nothing you can just not do things

Zcash's privacy model treats your counterparty as the adversary; they know at least as much as any observer. Shielded transactions leak *nothing* to your counterparty, and therefore your privacy is unaffected by which address type they provide.

Why I changed my mind on t-addresses in Zcash #Zcash $ZEC 🛡️

if it relies on TEEs only it’s gonna be broken sooner rather than later.

Up Only for Zcash shielded pool!!🛡️

Anonymity isn't about taking elaborate means to obfuscate your actions, it's just people doing the least to distinguish themselves from each other. Security by obscurity not only doesn't help but it can even cause you to stand out more.

Succinct ZKPs are one of those things for which even seasoned veterans who have worked with the math for over a decade still occasionally pause and reflect: "I can't believe this actually works." Sometimes it feels like it wouldn't but for the hand of God pushing the pencil.

Zcash is humanity's first mathematically fungible asset. Much like when time and space switch places in a black hole, when money crosses the event horizon of a shielded pool its history begins an unstoppable, monotonic march toward indistinguishability.

Here's a non-technical reason I like Zcash. The early adopters (the people using it today) want it to win, and they are overwhelmingly positive in how they convey that vision. That is also why, in part, you see it being integrated in so many places so quickly, and why an asset that was previously somewhat isolated from the rest of the crypto world is rapidly connecting to the rest of the ecosystem, making it increasingly simple for new participants to join, learn about it, and in turn onboard their own family and friends. Zcash is opening far more doors (the castle gates) than it is closing. And from a purely game theoretical perspective, it is much easier to change things once you are inside the gates than if you are locked out outside of them.
