(My personal view is that if coinholders strongly oppose a change, it's *really* hard to argue we should do it anyway.) 1. ZSAs are in bad shape. There is basically no support from coinholders, and I'm not sure

· 2026-02-21T17:21:54+00:00It’s called Zcoin Full proof of stake NSM ZSAs Any other feature I can’t think of that meets a much lower minimum community threshold Hard fork it so all ZEC holders are 1:1 with new experimental currency ZCN Be willing to blow up the network continuously to keep the culture
· 2026-02-21T22:50:00+00:00JUST IN: Zcash (ZEC) slides sharply as Ethereum advances stealth addresses and ZK privacy features.
· 2026-02-21T06:50:18+00:00If Zcash is "Bitcoin but better," let’s stay intellectually honest: appetite for private stablecoins exists, even if it’s at odds with Zcash's new PMF and identity. Circle issues USDC privately on Aleo, and there are "wildcat" wrapped stables on Railgun, Aleo, and Tornado Cash.
· 2026-02-21T21:20:02+00:00Huh! Super interesting idea to create a "flatcoin" (a semi-stablish but not fiat-pegged token) as a native ("enshrined") function of Zcash: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zai-shielded … I have thoughts.
· 2026-02-21T20:02:59+00:00This is the way! I dont support any of those things in ZEC atm but appreciate that might change in the future. So I will fully get behind a hard fork that facilitates a new chain to test them This is what ZEC was to BTC It is what Ycash / YEC was to ZEC And we should do more
· 2026-02-21T13:15:48+00:00$ZEC At the last line of defence for any uptrend continuation above the $320 overhead. Perfectly execution of our macro lower-high roadmap so far. There would be a legitimate long to take if it manages to break out of that resistance since it would trigger our two-level filter
· 2026-02-21T01:33:49+00:00'Coinholders' should be qualified. That word lends the results more weight than they actually command, given the lack of usability and distribution of the mechanism, along with the security concerns of moving cold storage coins. But I'd say these coinholders already had their
· 2026-02-21T01:01:43+00:00Some new investors bought a lot of $ZEC and now they voted to turn down ZSA's. I think the timing is very interesting. I stand by what I've said before: it is my hope ZSA's get launched, and furthmore think it is a mistake to abondon all the work done. (Not to mention cost!).

· 2026-02-21T21:03:05+00:00I love the idea of a private flatcoin on Zcash rails. No fiat-wolf in crypto-sheep's clothing ZEC becomes the reserve asset Privacy is a first class property And I think a CDP-based approach to achieve this is very promising
· 2026-02-21T17:26:22+00:00impact of a tweet! after zooko's reply, @sejal_rekhan set up a call with jason who gave a detailed breakdown on history & governance structure of the zcash developer fund 80% of rewards go to miners in their network & 20% to the fund. No other major blockchain has such a

The original architects and builders knew they wouldn’t see it finished. #Zcash belongs to that lineage of cathedral-scale projects La Sagrada Família represents: an ecosystem of builders, users, and token holders shaping something
· 2026-02-21T13:10:49+00:00Are ZEC believers still pretty confident about it?
· 2026-02-21T05:34:00+00:00You don’t win by doing everything. You win by doing your thing better than anyone else. Zcash is meant to be something.
· 2026-02-21T04:07:03+00:00Exploring the idea of a Zcash wallet that ties into Cipherscan. Redesigned UI, encrypted messaging, shielded by default. Built on top of YWallet engine, incredible work. Still early, but fun to build.

· 2026-02-21T12:03:51+00:00DigiShield, invented by $DGB in February 2014, recalculates mining difficulty after every block. Asymmetric design: difficulty drops up to 50% per block for fast recovery, but only rises 20% to prevent gaming. Dogecoin, Zcash, Ethereum, and 25+ other chains adopted this algorithm
· 2026-02-21T15:45:55+00:00I’m loving the signal and discussion of the recent multi-modal Zcash sentiment polling! I see some long time community I greatly respect expressing disappointment in lack of consensus. Stay engaged! Zcash must balance between stagnation and reckless change.

· 2026-02-21T15:22:27+00:00If we imagined very low friction ideal coin polling (low fees, fast submission, 0 theft risk, very low privacy risk), I’m curious (a) what the participation rates would be and (b) the overall ZEC distribution. (I still predict power-law distribution, though.)
· 2026-02-21T16:40:11+00:00#ZECBTC and how I’m looking at this structure 1.) Price is compressing inside a falling wedge, lower highs plus flattening lows equals momentum compression, not panic selling. 2.) Notice where we’re sitting, right around the .618–.702 retrace zone. That’s a classic decision
· 2026-02-21T03:51:32+00:00A launch means nothing without liquidity. Nexus integrates pools directly into the stack. From token creation to live trading. Built on $ZEC. Always private.
· 2026-02-21T05:41:46+00:00lmao. Participating in the vote is not something you can do on a mobile phone. It's not easy and straightforward. It's something only sophisticated investors can participate. New investors have no idea what's happening on Zcash forums. I don't support ZSAs at all. I'm quite
· 2026-02-21T08:47:17+00:00i'm actually not surprised that ZSAs are no longer popular ZSAs are orthogonal to the idea of zcash and zec being "encrypted bitcoin" or "private money" which has strong token market fit
· 2026-02-21T20:28:37+00:00I like this idea. Work at Shielded Lab with Crosslink can go full send on this. As Zcash appreciates in value, coin holder can support and funnel funds for innovation to solve the next problems. “Immutable money” as might need a new torch holder if we encounter problems that
· 2026-02-21T21:27:41+00:00Buying Zcash, Monero bros are toxic They can't beat Balaji and 0xmerti ZRO is collecting tokens just to survive Perpdex hype will keep going, but a launch that turns into a huge disappointment would suck, hope it doesn't happen on my watch Build build build, that's our
· 2026-02-21T19:41:52+00:00There was a time when I strongly supported ZSAs. That was before I fully appreciated how little issuer interest there is in a ZEC-native, censorship and seizure resistant stable. I still see potential uses for ZSAs: especially ZK NFTs (credentials, tickets, collectibles). But
· 2026-02-21T13:45:37+00:00Extremely pleased that @ebfull ’s Project Tachyon has strong well-rounded community backing! It’s an exciting necessary upgrade for #Zcash to scale.
· 2026-02-21T19:51:32+00:00Later I went full position again on ZEC Back when most people didn’t even know this coin existed, Me and my good bro Mike were extremely bullish on it And now, most of my profits from BTC and ZEC I’ve used to bottom-fish altcoins again That’s why I have infinite

· 2026-02-21T09:42:47+00:00AI agents need programmable money. Bitcoin provides liquidity. Zcash provides privacy. Neither L1 is optimized for high frequency agent settlement. The logical path sovereign rollups. A BTC or ZEC denominated rollup can define its own VM, pricing model, and sequencing while

· 2026-02-21T09:06:19+00:00The machinery of human freedom! We have a chance to save the world from the biggest crime ever to humanity. You are a modern day slave, because they pass their debt to you as inflation, and have the ability to cease wealth. Zcash, the machinery of freedom!

· 2026-02-21T07:06:18+00:00If this isn’t insider club behavior then what is? Honestly I think I’m earlier than whoever this person is lol Zcash is for Zcash users - no shit. Don’t we want more users? Or want more users who follow your dictate? Young centralized Janet yellen out here
· 2026-02-21T19:02:24+00:00Privacy is freedom!
· 2026-02-21T02:27:25+00:00OH and I forgot to mention CROSSLINK which the Zcash Solana VCs are also actively trying to undermine Something leads me to believe that Solana is spending $$$ on a distressed Zcash in order to corrupt and under-cut it's growth potential Imagine Mert actually being Not Good

· 2026-02-21T23:20:03+00:00This entire thread is disgusting. Zec people making fun of Jesus. Not surprised since zec is satanic pedo Fed coin for goys. For everyone else, Christians, Muslims, etc... there is Monero!

· 2026-02-21T09:10:23+00:00for Zcash to really win it has to win over neobanks and tradfi banks not just crypto and bitcoin users
· 2026-02-21T23:10:04+00:00Post quantum cryptography is a structural tax on blockchains. The question is who pays it per transaction vs per validator. Today • Bitcoin ECDSA / Schnorr ( 64B signatures) • Solana Ed25519 ( 64B signatures) • Ethereum ECDSA (EOAs) • Zcash ECDSA / Ed25519 / RedDSA •

· 2026-02-21T06:04:00+00:00If crypto users want Zcash-level privacy, they’ll need to sell their xyz coins and buy ZEC. That’s what Zcash coinholders just voted for. Do you honestly not see why that's reasonable now that Zcash is finally gaining traction? If xyz coinholders are dissatisfied with the
· 2026-02-21T03:02:12+00:00The money rotation into $ZEC could be insane
· 2026-02-21T19:20:43+00:00This is a great question. Having thought about it for a minute, I think there *could* eventually be a strategic advantage that Zcash could have over those others: the Dev Fund!

· 2026-02-21T02:25:32+00:00If Zcash let's these new Solana VCs do a rugpull on both the ZSA and the NSM upgrades, then I GUARANTEE you it drops back under $100 a coin myself included; us bear market survivors looked forward to both of those projects, and we LITERALLY paid for them to happen @BostonZcash
· 2026-02-21T19:21:30+00:00Owners of guest tokens (like ZSA-BTC for example) might prefer to keep their BTC on Zcash instead of on one of those others, because they pay a shielded hosting fee for doing so, which supports the operation and maintenance of the network long-term.
· 2026-02-21T14:35:00+00:00The recording of today's Zcash Arborist call is now available! These bi-weekly protocol development meetings track the logistics of the upcoming protocol implementation, consensus node implementation issues, and protocol research. youtu.be/63K9NUXicfI

· 2026-02-21T06:54:12+00:00Ok so this is the most logical and coherent argument against ZSA I actually agree with a lot… It still doesn’t answer: so is the plan to force users to use $zec as money to have privacy? That’s a losing proposition…you want purity which I respect but we will not get 8bn

· 2026-02-21T15:37:30+00:00Bitcoin was forged in the abuse of the financial crisis. Zcash is being forged in the collapse of every institution that was supposed to serve us. It started as a science experiment & is graduating to freedom money.
· 2026-02-21T05:47:02+00:00$ZEC is so undervalued, you have no idea
· 2026-02-21T14:44:23+00:00Bitcoin wasn’t born in a vacuum. It was forged in the crucible of countless failed attempts to create the perfect digital money that preceded it. A patchwork of ideas. In the same vein, Zcash is the final vision of these ideas. It is what Satoshi wanted.

· 2026-02-21T18:35:25+00:00Or, to phrase it positively, Zcash must balance between innovation and stewardship. :-)
· 2026-02-21T05:01:48+00:00Why is the timing interesting? I supported ZSAs and spent months trying to garner outside interest. There has been no outside interest unless ZSAs can be compromised. ZEC found pmf and we have a small window to affect global change at scale. And so I changed my mind.
