We now have a dashboard breaking down every live mainnet block's execution time. Block processing time will be eliminated in @ZakuraZcash
Next Zakura release mines even empty blocks 5x faster!
Presenting "thus spoke zakura" A batteries included dev environment for zcash developers! - gets you started with a zcash dev environment in seconds with a single click - in built wallet, block explorer and faucet for testing - cheat codes to mine & faucet and much more 👇
This CLAUDE.md file has served me really well for ensuring large projects don't quickly turn into slop: gist.github.com/defuse/da01a26…
There's an entire "waiting" screen in Zcash wallets that users don't need to see anymore because it's so fast now. Try it out today only in @vizorwallet!
“It is meaningfully different to be a Zcash user today than literally six weeks ago.” Dev Ojha (@zkDragon) joins me to discuss Zcash’s security and UX improvements since Ironwood went live: - A quantum-recoverable, formally verified shielded pool - Proving optimizations -
Dev Ojha (@zkDragon) and I discuss the NU7 coin-holder vote (activating Nov 5). 0:00 - Record high vote 0:35 - NSM issuance smoothing 1:52 - NSM reissuance start date 2:47 - Sprout deprecation 4:34 - Faster block times 4:46 - NU7 scope and readiness 5:35 - How voting works
NU7 is coming! All of the Zcash development orgs have come to unanimous agreement about the contents and timeline of our next network upgrade, following the sentiment collection results earlier this week. Activation approximately November 5. Learn more: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/nu7-timeline…

A cautionary tale about the future of Open Source Software in the age of AI. From Cathedral to Bazaar to Archipelago. - I recount Eric Raymond’s explanation of OSS inventive structure as a reputation game within a gift culture. - then explained how effortless agentic coding uproots many symbiotic dynamics among hackers and maintainers. - explained how the taboo of forking is violated and a speculative phenomenon of first-mover disadvantage. - conclude with a warning of the forkdom future that we might head towards, a land of splintered open gardens.

If you're new to Zcash take a look at zecstats.com. It's my passion project and IMO one of the most complete and beautiful websites about any cryptocurrency.
9.5 years after Bitcoin, finally Zcash's turn to be 'leet 1 ZEC = USD$1337
Apple's new "Reference Image" design suggests something Apple won't say out loud: they don't actually trust the iPhone's Secure Enclave that much. They're probably right, and that has implications both for other proposals to stop deepfakes and for privacy-preserving identity, if it ever gets beyond stopping kids from looking at porn. Reference Image is a mode in the iPhone camera where Apple's servers sign a photo as genuine. The phone sends the raw data, signed by its trusted hardware, to Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC) servers, which process it, apply edits, and sign the result. It hides who took the photo, though Apple appears to keep identifying data so it can revoke photos from hacked phones. But why involve Apple's servers at all? It costs money and adds risk for Apple, like demands to deanonymize journalists, so they really have to get Private Compute Right. Maybe Apple couldn't get the image pipeline running inside the Secure Enclave. I doubt it. They could have, or could have with some work. But iPhones get jailbroken, and keys can be extracted from the Secure Enclave. If your threat model includes nation states making deepfakes, assume they'll do it. So I think Apple is using PCC as a trusted man-in-the-middle: it sees everything, so it can try to block exploited devices, and adapt as they see what attackers do. The other thing that relies on secure hardware is privacy-preserving credentials. Google's zk-id proposal uses hardware device binding to prevent credential sharing, and you might want to verify biometrics at enrollment too. But if we start using this for privacy-preserving KYC in banking and cryptocurrency, or for proof of personhood and deepfake prevention on social media, attackers will try to steal credentials or buy and borrow legit accounts. Device binding is meant to stop this. Apple's design suggests they think it can't.

Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
Announcing our funding agreement with @Ledger. The agreement supports the work required to integrate the new Zcash Ironwood pool into Ledger devices. As a result of this agreement, Zcash coin holders will be able to use their ledger devices to self-custody their Zcash in the latest Ironwood pool. We are committing USD 80,000 toward this integration and are excited about the impact this will create for the Zcash coin holders. Forum post in the comments 👇
