Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

Second: Are you worried that the total money supply of zcash can not (by design) be determined? Yes, I trust the crypto, but... what if the initial setup was flawed, or compromised? What if there is a flaw in the code (not the math)? Is this something we just have to live with? I have proposed a so...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

Premines are usually not seen in the brightest light. The issuance model in my opinion is very important and to think 10% of a new currency will automatically be dived up seems ludicrous. This was one of the biggest problems when people get into ethereum. It seems like you're dead set on a premine ...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

We're still thinking about our plan for Blocksize, scalability, transaction fees, and mining incentives. You appear to be somewhat naive w.r.t. to crypto currency realities (e.g. upthread you weren't even aware that Blockchain's sidechains are fundamentally flawed due to chain reorganizations and t...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

Hi Zooko So there is a large following of Monero(XMR) at the moment with respect to digital private currency with a lot of research and publications backing the initial well received CryptoNote whitepaper. It has the added benefit of being a completely different codebase than Bitcoin and also uses ...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

I heard your team is quite fond of what Etherum is doing. The Ethereum project hired us to review Ethash as part of their programme of hiring external security auditors. We reviewed it and didn't find any major flaws in it. Here's our blog post about that process and our results: https://leastautho...

Hello shelby3! Thanks for the questions. Zooko, thank you for the responses. I'm interested in reading your goals and motivations for taking on anonymity in general or anonymous digital cash specifically as your priority project? I care deeply about personal privacy, personal and organizational sec...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

UPDATE: I just posted a blog post describing the corporate structure and funding model: https://z.cash/blog/funding.html It is quite unfortunate to read you've only raised $1 million in exchange for 11% of the coin supply. Ethereum raised several $millions and with my endorsement surely you could h...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

Where *should* I be speaking to reach the most people who care the most about privacy and security in an open and permissionless financial system? http://freedomfest.com/ Also "Let's Talk Bitcoin". If you want to target Bitcointalk.org's investors, then perhaps you ought to be arranging a discussio...

Re: I'm Zooko Wilcox, CEO of the Zcash Company. Ask me anything!

Has there been any research into doing zcash pegged 1:1with bitcoin to avoid having to compete with bitcoin's liquidity and allow both technologies to grow together? We investigated that pretty thoroughly, for a couple of months after the sidechains paper came out. We ultimately decided not to go a...

Hello Zooko, I'm interested in reading your goals and motivations for taking on anonymity in general or anonymous digital cash specifically as your priority project? Haven't you seen the new laws coming (eventually in all Five Eyes countries I've heard from reliable sources) that will ban end-to-end...
