I don't understand why there is so much emotion surrounding the price of Zcash.
If you think that in today's cryptocurrency world, anyone other than you and 0.01% of people despise the corporate component of any cryptocurrency project - think again.
Moreover, no one doesn't care about centralization (take Tron, Binance Smart Chain, and other EVM-like networks as examples), and the fact that one pool was mining ~75% of ZEC blocks until recently is also irrelevant.
By the way, for greater decentralization, the corporate boys added +1 pool (F2Pool) so that you would finally shut up about ZEC being mined by 1 pool for almost 9 years. Forget it, now there are 2 pools. Enjoy.
Also, why is the community, which has spent most of its time focusing on improving the Monero protocol and spreading information about it, suddenly so concerned about market cap?
At this stage, Zcash wins in:
* ease of entry/exit (thanks to integrations with other networks and DEXs
But Zcash is losing in terms of merchant adoption. And this price increase could change that too.
Instead of running around on Twitter, maybe it would be more productive to do something more useful for XMR? 🤔
"The EU is now testing a digital age verification system that ties internet access to your government ID."
Imagine a web where you’d need ID just to browse. That’s the path the EU could take. Privacy isn’t a product you trade in for convenience. It’s part of who we are online. Stand up for it.
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

🇩🇪 Today we celebrate #GermanUnityDay – a victory over oppression & mass surveillance.
But history warns us: #ChatControl could bring surveillance back at a scale East Germany could only have dreamed of. It's like putting a spy in every phone with AI as judge.
Let’s defend freedom & say NO to #ChatControl! ✊

On July 7, 2025, Google activated a sweeping update that slipped under the radar: Gemini AI is now scanning conversations across third-party apps like WhatsApp and Messages on Android. Google calls it a convenience feature to “help with daily tasks.” But in reality, it means your texts, photos, and notifications may already be under analysis—without your explicit consent.

'Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) is a proposed upgrade to replace ring signatures with membership proofs that span the whole chain. When spending Monero, instead of making a ring signature proving you own 1 of 16 Monero outputs, you make a proof that you own 1 of the 150 million+ Monero outputs from across the entire Monero blockchain.' - by Justin Berman
The first testnet (alpha stressnet) for Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) and CARROT will go live on Friday (October 3)!
We implore the Monero community to participate in testing and to report issues in order to ensure a smooth transition!
Fight Chat Control.
You cannot make society secure by making people insecure.
We all deserve privacy and security, without inevitably hackable backdoors, for our private communications.
The fact that the government officials want to exempt themselves from their own law is telling: https://t.co/s2AF6wMPL3
Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard:
"We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services."
