+
+We could look at https://metrics.torproject.org/ for inspiration
+
+Also https://zcha.in/statistics/usage
+
+Self-auditing tools to check your privacy score
+
+Add an option to randomize the time at which a transaction is sent

+
+What can benefit the Zcash community to fully adopt Z-addresses? 
+
+Coming up with metrics 
+
+Shielded transaction: Z address to Z address. The only thing that is exposed is the transaction fee.
+
+Run ZCash on TOR to be safe from leaking IP information.
+
+Point 1: 
+User interface to enhance the perception of shielded address
+
+Point 2:
+Institutions prefer T-addresses due to technical reasons, it's cheap computationally. Without institutions supporting Z-addresses it'll be too hard to get it off the ground. 
+
+Point 3:
+Business analytics (understanding adoption) and metrics on how the network operates and what the community actually wants/needs.
+
+Ideas for metrics:
+
+IP address linkability
+Fee linkability
+Linkability via peer preference through transactions entering the mempool
+
+Ideas for improving privacy:
+
+Privacy score: giving users a privacy score in their wallet (gamifying UX - give people a bad score if they are doing something wrong)
