The irony of "big bad" criminality-flaunting Monero bros pearl-clutching at marketing to legal sex workers is pretty crazy. 😏
Uncensorable money is for everyone, but first and foremost for those being actively censored.
You don't have to like what they're doing, but if you're in the freedom money business, you have to accept that they'll be your first and most loyal customers.
Day 2: Zcash at @EXXXOTICA . @rollergirlVi and @kate_stapes in Mama's zcash kitchen. Giving away protections for your body and your money.
Privacy is ZECsy.

I oppose the dev fund, and won't comment on sex work but
I will say this group hosted an awesome event during Berlin blockchain week. Hundreds of people inside and outside of the city's crypto scene passed through the space, on-boarded to Zcash and sent transactions. They are great technical communicators who put Zcash onto a lot of people's radar and cast it in a positive light.
The space had a line out the door most nights, some people even pleading with the bouncers to get into the house transformed into a shrine to ZEC where chatter of privacy was inescapable in every conversation

Zcash was built to be unstoppable private money. Zodl makes it easy to use.
Created by the developers behind the Zcash protocol, Zodl is a self-custodial wallet to hold, send, and swap ZEC, all without giving up control of your funds.

Yesterday the Zcash Foundation board named me Executive Director. Thank you to Alex for steady leadership through a tumultuous stretch, and to everyone who has reached out this week.
The job as I see it has two halves: 1) keep the infrastructure fast, secure, and boring. 2) make privacy something ordinary people use without having to think about it.
I don’t think privacy is a feature, and I don’t think it’s a niche. It’s the room a society needs to think, speak, associate, and change its mind. Any system people depend on for daily life should give them that room by default. That’s the standard I’ll hold our work to.

Relevant XKCD strikes again, this time for real. A certificate authority actually generated private keys where 4 was part of the key.

Big milestone for Shielded Labs: the activation height for NU7 is being set today! The upgrade includes our first major mainnet deployment: the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM).
Like Bitcoin, Zcash faces a long-term challenge: how to sustain network security as block rewards decline. The NSM helps address that while preserving the 21 million coin cap.
ZIP-235 removes 60% of transaction fees from circulation, allowing that ZEC to be reissued as future block rewards. ZIP-237 starts that recycling around February 2031.
At current fee levels, that’s only about 210 ZEC per year. This is a modest first step, but we’re optimistic about how new use cases for the NSM could evolve over time and contribute to Zcash’s long-term security.

How to swap into shielded Zcash
Just in case
The super easy process to get shielded Zcash $ZEC:
1. Download Zodl wallet @zodl_app
2. Select "swap"
3. Choose source chain and asset (e.g. $USDC on Ethereum)
4. Enter refund address (just in case swap fails)
5. Get quote and confirm
6. Send funds on source chain to address provided (this sets up the swap functionality powered by $NEAR intents)
7. Once transaction is confirmed on source chain, select "I've sent the funds"
8. That's it! By default the wallet deposits to a shielded Zcash address

Reminder: your Telegram DMs are NOT end-to-end encrypted by default.
Regular “cloud chats” are stored on Telegram’s servers with encryption keys Telegram controls. That means Telegram can access your contents.
Regular group chats have NO end-to-end encryption option, even when the group is set to private.
Even Secret Chats use MTProto, Telegram’s custom protocol, without Signal’s per-message key ratcheting or post-quantum key agreement.
Telegram’s privacy policy also says it may retain metadata such as your IP address, device information and username history for up to 12 months.
For private conversations, use @signalapp.
Here's how exactly Telegram provides user data to U.S. authorities. A letter recently filed in court shows how Telegram transfers that data, such as IP address and phone number.
