¡La privacidad es normal!

Siguenos y asiste a nuestros eventos educativos en #Queretaro y México para aprender sobre #Zcash y privacidad.

Club Zcash Querétaro. 🛡️

[Zcash México 🇲🇽 @ZcashMx]

Todos hablan sobre Zcash pero no saben que pueden crear su propia comunidad en su localidad y ser recompensados mientras ondean la bandera de la privacidad y la libertad financiera.

En este artículo te explicamos qué es un Club Zcash y cómo crear uno. https://t.co/tQueLYfuaF

🚨 Jump on this great deal on orders starting from 20+ units! 🚨

🆕 $ZEC Z15K 565K miners in stock and ready to ship from 🇭🇰 Hong Kong!

🤔💭 In my opinion, these make more sense right now than buying used or new ZEC 840K miners, or waiting for future batches to arrive.

⛏️ Ready to add hashrate? DM me now to secure your units! 🇨🇳🤝

NU7 is finally activating on Zcash! Zakura 1.7.0 activates it on height 3543405, which is the evening of November 5 for us Americans.

Blocks will occur three times faster in Zcash. Other changes like NSM funding and retiring the Sprout pool appear in this upgrade as well.

Zcash NU7 is coming, what do you need to know? 🤔

NU7 is scheduled to activate on Mainnet at block height 3,543,405, currently estimated for November 5–6. The upgrade will bring several important changes to ZEC mining:

🔸 Block target spacing: 75s → 25s
🔸 Block subsidy per block will adjust accordingly, keeping the overall issuance schedule unchanged
🔸 Miner fee share: 100% → 40%, while the remaining 60% goes to NSM reserve, reissued later as block subsidies

For ViaBTC Zcash @Zcash miners, no action is required.

ViaBTC has completed the necessary technical preparations and will handle the network upgrade to help ensure stable and uninterrupted ZEC mining through the Mainnet activation.

Keep mining with ViaBTC ⛏️

[Zcash 🛡️ @Zcash]

The block will be mined using Zcash's Proof-of-Work algorithm - Equihash.

Miners use a series of collision-finding stages to construct valid solutions, securing the network through computational work.

With parameters n = 200 and k = 9, Equihash operates on 200-bit values divided into 10 segments of 20 bits each.

We are very close to the launch of the first Zcash Mexico video podcast.

We recorded the first episode with @victor_ruiz, covering topics such as cybersecurity, AI, hackers, and privacy—plus, he received his first Zats!

This initiative seeks to learn from experts in cybersecurity, privacy, and economics, while simultaneously introducing Zcash to them and to the general public.

In each episode, we ask our guest to download a Zcash wallet, and we send them some ZEC live. This transaction is recorded from the phone and shown during post-production, allowing the audience to see how a Zcash transaction works directly through the wallet interface.

For everyone who keeps asking why I am adding @Zcash but not @monero to my Tools directory - here is my response.

For hiding which earlier coins a transaction spends, I prefer Ironwood's design to Monero's current ring signatures. I am comparing Monero as it runs today with a fully shielded transfer that stays inside Zcash's Ironwood pool.

Monero hides each input among 16 ring members: the real output being spent and 15 other outputs used as decoys. The ages of those decoys need to resemble actual spending patterns. OSPEAD research (funded by the Monero community) found a mismatch between the two distributions.

Its preliminary estimate is that an adversary's best guess is right about 23.5% of the time on average, roughly 1 in 4.2, rather than the 6.25% of random guessing. The observer usually cannot confirm which guesses were right, and the best guess is still wrong most of the time. But the estimated hit rate is nearly 4 times random guessing.

Ironwood works differently. A spend proves the coin exists somewhere in the Ironwood pool, that the spender holds its key, and that the amounts add up, all without revealing which coin it was. The proof uses Halo 2, which needs no trusted setup. Each spend also publishes a nullifier, a unique tag that stops double spending without pointing back to the coin.

That leaves no list of candidates for decoy age analysis to rank. Some things are still visible, including fees, timing, and technical details like action counts, so wallet behavior and network privacy still matter. And proving a coin is somewhere in the pool does not make every coin in the pool an equally likely match.

Monero is developing FCMP++ to replace its rings of 16 with membership proofs covering eligible outputs across the chain, described by its developers as more than 150 million outputs. Zcash's shielded pools already prove membership across the whole pool, although FCMP++ is a different protocol with a different membership set. FCMP++ remains in beta stressnet (not active on Monero mainnet yet).

My recommendation specifically concerns fully shielded transfers that stay within one pool. For hiding which coins are spent under those conditions, Ironwood is the design I prefer today. FCMP++ will warrant a fresh comparison when it is deployed.

Corrections welcome from both sides.

Yesterday the Zcash Foundation board named me Executive Director. Thank you to Alex for steady leadership through a tumultuous stretch, and to everyone who has reached out this week.

The job as I see it has two halves: 1) keep the infrastructure fast, secure, and boring. 2) make privacy something ordinary people use without having to think about it.

I don’t think privacy is a feature, and I don’t think it’s a niche. It’s the room a society needs to think, speak, associate, and change its mind. Any system people depend on for daily life should give them that room by default. That’s the standard I’ll hold our work to.

NEW EPISODE - Zcash Names: ENS for Zcash

@ZcashNames founder James Joseph (@zcashme) joins @TrustlessState to break down how .zec usernames make shielded payments simpler without exposing your transaction history.

They dive into how ZNS compares to Ethereum's ENS, the technology behind private usernames, the remaining security tradeoffs, and whether the system could pass the Edward Snowden privacy test.
