|
<PRE>Hello everyone! I hope you're having a lovely August so far. Apologies for
|
|
the delay in sending this email — I was tied up with the Decentralized Web
|
|
Summit last week. But I'll tell you about that next month in the August
|
|
recap :)
|
|
|
|
After a very eventful June, the Foundation spent July getting our feet back
|
|
under us. There's a lot going on internally that we're not ready to
|
|
announce, except in broad strokes: We're continuing to work on hiring,
|
|
technical partnerships, the grants program, and an overhaul of our web
|
|
presence.
|
|
|
|
Notable July events:
|
|
|
|
— On the 3rd, we published the Foundation's interpretation of the results
|
|
from our governance process, including thoughts on how to improve it next
|
|
time: <A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation//blog/governance-results/">https://z.cash.foundation//blog/governance-results/</A>
|
|
|
|
— On the 10th, we weighed in on the Zcash Ecosystem Fund controversy:
|
|
<A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation//blog/founders-reward/">https://z.cash.foundation//blog/founders-reward/</A>
|
|
|
|
— On the 12th, we published a comprehensive Zcon0 recap with lots of links:
|
|
<A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation//blog/zcon0-recap/">https://z.cash.foundation//blog/zcon0-recap/</A>
|
|
|
|
— On the 26th, we were pleased to see Bitmain take further steps toward
|
|
transparency:
|
|
<A HREF="https://blog.bitmain.com/en/transparency-policy-shipping-mining-practices/">https://blog.bitmain.com/en/transparency-policy-shipping-mining-practices/</A>
|
|
|
|
Bitmain's announcement is worth including because it was formulated, at
|
|
least in part, as a response to our June request that hardware
|
|
manufacturers start sharing more metrics:
|
|
<A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation//blog/hardware-transparency/">https://z.cash.foundation//blog/hardware-transparency/</A> (we know this for
|
|
certain from conversations with Bitmain staff)
|
|
|
|
A few additional items from the wider world of Zcash...
|
|
|

Billy Garrison blogged about how and why to participate in the Sapling MPC:

BitGo added Zcash support! "BitGo isn't a run-of-the-mill ZCash
|
|
implementation — this is the FIRST multi-signature ZCash wallet. Technical
|
|
folks will know that multi-sig in ZCash is different from other blockchains
|
|
and it does affect privacy. But finally — a secure platform for ZCash is
|
|
here!" — BitGo CEO Mike Belshe:

Coinbase might add support for $ZEC, a possibility summed up in a Zcash
|

Company blog post: <A HREF="https://blog.z.cash/coinbase-exploring-zcash/">https://blog.z.cash/coinbase-exploring-zcash/</A>
