<PRE>Hello everyone! Happy Labor Day / International Workers' Day to all of you.
|
|
If you had a long weekend, I hope you enjoyed it.
|
|
|
|
August was a heads-down month for the Zcash Foundation, so this update will
|
|
be on the shorter side. Two items from previous months that are still in
|
|
progress, moving forward but not finished:
|
|
|
|
- Technical hiring.
|
|
- Website overhaul.
|
|
- Finalizing the grants.
|
|
|
|
Speaking of those last two, we have a handy grants page now:
|
|
<A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation/grants/">https://z.cash.foundation/grants/</A>
|
|
|
|
While you're at it, sign up for our new proper newsletter:
|
|
<A HREF="https://buttondown.email/zcashfoundation">https://buttondown.email/zcashfoundation</A>
|
|
|
|
(I don't plan to replicate content between this list and that one. And
|
|
don't worry, we'll have our own URL for the newsletter archives before
|
|
long. I didn't want to wait to start gathering contact info, since email is
|
|
such a powerful marketing channel.)
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, Antonie has been preparing the financial audit of 2017. She has
|
|
also undertaken early planning for Zcon1. We're not ready to announce
|
|
concrete details, but potential attendees will get much more advance notice
|
|
this year.
|
|
|
|
I've been primarily focused on meetups, collaborating with Paige from the
|
|
Zcash Company. I got to meet the New York and Sacramento volunteers in
|
|
person this month, which was illuminating.
|
|
|
|
The Foundation has an umbrella network on Meetup.com now:
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you're in LA, go hang out and talk about Sapling on the 22nd:
|
|
<A HREF="https://www.meetup.com/lazcash/events/254133917/">https://www.meetup.com/lazcash/events/254133917/</A>
|
|
|
|
And if you're near Boston, go to the Sapling activation party that Neal
|
|
Jayu is hosting in October!
|
|
<A HREF="https://www.meetup.com/Boston-Zcash-Users-Group/events/253859408/">https://www.meetup.com/Boston-Zcash-Users-Group/events/253859408/</A>
|
|
|
|
Paige and I hope to get more Sapling activation parties rolling.
|
|
|
|
We've written an in-depth guide for organizers that is almost ready to
|
|
publish. It's just waiting on a couple of design elements.
|
|
|
|
Some miscellaneous items:
|
|
|
|
- A discussion of Bitmain's transparency policy, and whether it's good
|
|
enough, on the forum:
|
|

|
|

|
|
