    I have concerns about the founders' reward, but being FOSS, anyone can fork and strip it while still benefiting from the reward-funded development. But is a stable source of revenue funding ongoing development of a project requiring rare expertise a bad thing? It's complicated.

        I'd also note a big portion is going to the @ZcashFoundation (which is a non-profit dedicated to privacy-preserving payments online).

        Please fix this, first http://jeffq.com/blog/on-the-linkability-of-zcash-transactions/ … Or is giving people second rate privacy part of the agenda?

        We are fixing it, with Sapling. Which uses optimizations developed since the Zcash launch.

        $ZCL for $BTCP is the play man. Hop on board @Snowden, you're a smart man! @HeyRhett knows what he's doing. Community driven, 100% rewards to the miners, true peer to peer, real privacy. Decentralization at its finest! $BTCP

        What about the issue where only ~20% of transactions are shielded, and when you transfer in and out of shielded transactions you expose the amount, which opens you up to de-anonymization. See http://jeffq.com/blog/on-the-linkability-of-zcash-transactions/ …

        Edward should update his Twitter profile, “I used to work for the government now I work for @zooko” recommending a Cryptocurrency with the caveats of zcash, run by an American company, to the large number of followers you have is straight up irresponsible.

        The avoidance of a tragedy of the commons is something to be desired.

        I suggest looking into ZenCash @zencashofficial It's a community-driven Zcash fork. Whereas Zcash is focused on doing business with big banks, ZenCash is focused on providing privacy to individuals.

        Defiantly look into ZenCash if this is a concern... With ZenCash, the mining reward is split 88% for miners, 5% for DAO, 3.5% for developers, and 3.5% for operators of secure nodes (zcash doesn’t have secure nodes). Additionally Zencash has secure messaging... I could go on.. lol
