| Not the least bit surprising to hear this considering his overt advertising on Twitter for Zcash. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1462532222368591884 Peter Todd (Bitcoin developer) was another participant in the Zcash creation ceremony. He wrote a post about it and cast doubts about the process. https://petertodd.org/2016/cypherpunk-desert-bus-zcash-trust... A “scientist” on the Zcash team, Matthew Green, spoke of backdooring Zcash once upon a time. https://twitter.com/notgrubles/status/1011830929004875777 I’m not saying there’s a conspiracy at play here, but more so putting a spotlight on Snowden’s untrustworthiness. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/913557610858778625 Here is Snowden (un)subtly favoring Zcash over Monero, another privacy coin. Not suspicious at all given his secret ties and financial incentive to Zcash and its curious, sketchy history. This isn’t to mention the “Founders Reward” that cut 10-20% of mined coins to the creator’s wallets (“ The remaining 20% of the reward was split among various parties including 9.85% to ECC founders, 2.2% to the Zcash Foundation, 5.75% to ECC itself and 2.2% to ECC employee compensation.”) https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/11/18/zcash-undergoes-fir... Or the fact that Zcash is opt-in privacy, meaning 99% of transactions are transparent and 1% of users opt for privacy (not suspicious at all for those users, wouldn’t one think?) |
