Greg Pfeil 4946316537 Appease ShellCheck 
ShellCheck has started failing in CI. My guess is that the ubuntu-latest runner
now uses a `/bin/sh` that is actually Bash.

- excludes checksec.sh, as it’s not our code
- fixes lints in other files

Zcash 5.3.2

What is Zcash?

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Initially based on Bitcoin's design, Zcash intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. More technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.

The zcashd Full Node

This repository hosts the zcashd software, a Zcash consensus node implementation. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take several days.

The zcashd code is derived from a source fork of Bitcoin Core. The code was forked initially from Bitcoin Core v0.11.2, and the two codebases have diverged substantially.

🔒 Security Warnings

See important security warnings on the Security Information page.

Zcash is experimental and a work in progress. Use it at your own risk.

📒 Deprecation Policy

This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16-week period. The automatic feature is based on block height.

Other Zcash Implementations

The Zebra project offers a different Zcash consensus node implementation, written largely from the ground up.
