Jack Grigg bb072f06c9 AcceptToMemoryPool: Re-add missing code comment
The comment on `view.SetBackend(dummy)` was removed when we backported
upstream locking PRs in zcash/zcash#5017. The upstream commit in
question removed a locking scope but did not remove the reference to
that scope in the comment. Our backport removed the outdated comment,
but should have modified it instead, because otherwise the existence of
`view.SetBackend(dummy)` is very confusing (as it disconnects the cache
from `pcoinsTip`, on the assumption that everything we need from it has
been cached via calls to `CCoinsViewCache::HaveCoins` and
`CCoinsViewCache::HaveShieldedRequirements`).

README.md

Zcash 4.7.0-rc1

What is Zcash?

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, 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.

This software is the Zcash client. 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 a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

🔒 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.
