|
<PRE>After evaluating and contacting more artists this month, I believe that the
|
|
best fit (in terms both of commission price and artistic skill) for
|
|
creating the first two posters is an American artist based out of
|
|
Minnesota. (I'll share the artist's name once I finalize the commission
|
|
contract.) Unfortunately, the artist is in high demand and can only start
|
|
working on the Zcash posters on March 27. But we've been discussing ideas
|
|
over email in the meantime, so that the artist can jump right in on March
|
|
27.
|
|
|
|
In parallel, I'm contacting several more artists, including some from
|
|
outside of the United States.
|
|
|
|
I'm hoping that the first poster will be ready in April.

Subject: Grant Progress Report (January 2019): Zcash Posters
|
|
To: <<A HREF="/mailman/listinfo/general">general at lists.zfnd.org</A>>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of this Zcash Posters project is to create a series of posters
|
|
that educate the public about the importance of financial privacy and
|
|
promote Zcash as an important tool for achieving financial privacy in the
|
|
future. 100% of the $2,500 grant will go to commissioning artists to design
|
|
the posters, and all the posters will be available to download for free.
|
|
|
|
An inspiration for this project are all the great World War II home front
|
|
posters developed in many different countries during that war.
|
|
|
|
Work on this project started this week. I have contacted three artists, and
|
|
I plan on contacting several more within the next few days.
|
|
|
|
The target audience of these posters is not cybercoin aficionados. Rather,
|
|
I am trying to target the general public. Someone seeing one of these
|
|
posters hanging in a restaurant, dorm room, or bus stop should be motivated
|
|
to learn more about Zcash; that is the goal.
|
|
|
|
To conclude this update, below is an excerpt of an email that I sent to one
|
|
of the artists. The excerpt will give you a better sense of what I'm trying
|
|
to accomplish with this project.
|
|
|
|
*I've been thinking about those great WWII posters that encourage citizens
|
|
to keep quiet:*
|
|
|
|
*Seymour R. Goff, "Loose LIPS might Sink Ships" (1941)*

|
|
|
|
|
*Glenn Grohe, "HE'S WATCHING YOU" (1942)
|
|
<<A HREF="https://www.nh.gov/nhsl/ww2/ww57.html">https://www.nh.gov/nhsl/ww2/ww57.html</A>>*

*Frederick Siebel, "SOMEONE TALKED!" (1942)*

|
|
|
|
*Credit cards don't respect our financial privacy. Our credit card
|
|
purchases are used by marketers to target us. The original cryptocurrency,
|
|
Bitcoin, respects financial privacy more than credit cards, but because all
|
|
Bitcoin transactions are publicly available for anyone to see, Bitcoin
|
|
still puts our financial privacy at risk. Payment systems like credit cards
|
|
and Bitcoin are "talkative" about our finances.*
|
|
|
|
*Zcash, on the other hand, is more like paper cash: it is "quiet".*
