@notthreadguy on privacy:

"Privacy is the most underpriced asset class across all markets for the next decade. The right tail is so extreme and so infinitely valuable that it's almost impossible to price."

Meet Zcash Lab's newest Member of Technical Staff: Ryan Ford @distractedm1nd!

Ryan made splash in Zcash by building zstreamer, a blazing fast Zcash indexer for light wallets that syncs in about 90s instead of hours: https://t.co/1dXp6ejY7B

He also added custom p2pv2 services and embedded node support to @ZakuraZcash, to help bring the network closer to users in the future.

Ryan developed his deep expertise in p2p networking and cryptographer as a protocol engineer at Celestia and other open source contributions.

Ryan says, "I am most excited to work on the protocols, interfaces, and infrastructure directly serving users, for Tachyon and beyond."

Short talk explaining Private Information Retrieval, a repeat of the talk I gave at ZODL Summit Prague!

In it, we explain the high level of PIR, and how you use it to find out if you received a payment!

[genzcash @genzcash]

Arjun Khemani explains why financial privacy is essential for individual freedom and creativity

“You want to own your money yourself and you want to hold it privately and transact privately. Like my transaction is none of anybody else’s business right? Unless I want to disclose it to them”

“So many things are just never funded because people are afraid of what other people will say or it’s just looked down upon like so many dissident ideas right?”

“Creativity also begins with privacy. So if every action is watched or every financial transaction is watched, you’re just gonna be super hyper aware and you’re not gonna be your true self”

[Four Pillars @FourPillarsFP]

Our researcher @c4lvin has translated @maxdesalle’s Mastering Zcash into Korean for the Korean Zcash community.

Starting with Bitcoin’s privacy limitations, the piece explores how Zcash uses zero-knowledge proofs to protect transaction details, its key protocol upgrades over time, and remaining challenges like quantum resistance, providing a comprehensive overview of Zcash.

[c-node @colludingnode]

any sexy Chinese spies who don't understand open source wanna try to seduce me for Zcash shielded protocol secrets?

[Boston Zcash 🛡️ @BostonZcash]

This is comparable to Signal's 'Sealed Sender' tech.

Don't just promise not to log data. Design the infrastructure to not have it in the first place.

Shields up! 🛡️

[Cypherpunk @cypherpunk]

Zcash *literally* pioneered zero-knowledge proofs.

[Will McEvoy @will__mcevoy]

@mert on Zcash pioneering ZK:

"Everybody's heard of ZK proofs. What you might not know is Zcash was the first production system in history to have them live. It took a long time, but now ZK works at planetary scale."

Zcash didn't adopt ZK. It shipped it first.

@will__mcevoy on privacy in the age of AI:

"In a world with AI, Bitcoin is fully transparent. AI can parse that ledger alongside everything leaked about you and de-anonymize your wallet. That's scared Bitcoiners. Zcash is the solution."

Transparent money is training data.

[Sean Bowe @ebfull]

I'm really excited about this vision. ACK.

These are ambitious goals but all doable; we've done far more in much less time, just in the last six months alone. We need to work this hard for Zcash to win. And because it's worth doing, it'll be fun too!

[Cypherpunk @cypherpunk]

Zcash will be at 200 shielded TPS within a few weeks.

[Dev @zkDragon]

A vision for Zcash L1, January 2027

- Scale: Achieve 200 shielded TPS
- Uses Tachyon & a 4x block size increase
- Post-Quantum:
- Unconditional Post-quantum Privacy live
- PQ Transparent
- Sapling deposit disable date set, users must go QR
- Longevity: Software wallets and hardware wallets stop breaking every NU.

Hope the community rallies around landing it https://t.co/8iy53K2wMN !
