Type of review

Zcash is a decentralised peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that provides users with highly sought after privacy options. Originally, it was forked from the Bitcoin blockchain and shares the same tried and tested network as well as a limited supply of 21 million coins. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, there is a company behind Zcash called the Zcash Company, where 10% of all Zcash that is mined within the first four years is given to company stakeholders until the year 2020. So you can trust to…

Pros
  • Notable team: Zooko Wilcox is the CEO of Zcash. Wilcox is an American computer security specialist and the CEO of Least Authority Enterprises, a manufacturer of freedom-compatible technologies. Alessandro Chiesa is a computer science faculty member of UC Berkeley and the co-founder of ZCash. Chiesa is well known for his research in zero-knowledge proofs and is a lead author at Libsnark, the library of zk-SNARKs proofs language. Vitalik Buterin is the founder of Ethereum and an advisor to the Zcash project. Buterin was quoted by CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden for praising the brilliance of zk-SNARKs technology.
Cons
  • Angel investor, Quant trader and bitcoin expert Peter Black particularly criticized the centralized control of ZCash as a cryptocurrency as it contradicts the basic notion of digital currencies in general, in that most, if not all operations must be completed in a distributed environment.

Zcash has been in the top 20 cryptocurrencies for some time now. It is best known as a by-product of the Zerocoin project which was established in order to improve the privacy of Bitcoin users. The team of engineers, advisors and scientists of the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company (ZECC) launched the Zcash currency in 2016. Now it grew so in the future it may be grow stronger

Pros
  • The way I see it, the inflation rate of Zcash makes it a proper currency instead of something to just "hold". Also, the Zcash team is working with OpenBazzar(?) to get it integrated and again, use Zcash as a currency instead of what most of crypto has become. Another upside is the zk-snarks are cryptographically more anonymous than anything Monero has to offer.
Cons
  • the downside I see is that if Zcash was built in such a way that allows backdoors in the code. Being an American-based company, doesn't that ruin the entire point of making it anonymous at all? It's basically a bank at that point. The one advantage cryptographically it has being more anonymous than Monero is also only an advantage in theory, because you can't crack a Monero transaction anyways.

As Zcash is addressing the most common privacy issues, this digital coin is all set to become the next big thing in the world of cryptocurrencies. Additionally, there is word that ethereum is partnering with Zcash—so from this partnership, investors can expect the entire crypto community to become more scalable and configurable in the coming time.

Pros
  • Zcash’s hashing algorithm is different from the one used by bitcoins and many other coins like Dash, Ethereum, Dent, Augur, Cardano That is why Zcash’s blockchain is incompatible with specially designed hardware hashes. Also, on average, Zcash’s block time is 2.5 minutes per block; however, the block time of a bitcoin is up to 10 minutes.
Cons
  • One major limitation of ZCash as a “decentralized” and “private” cryptocurrency is the centralization of its foundation and development team, which have formed a US-based company to legally conduct all of its operations. Such centralization of developers and network operators have earned the cryptocurrency a title of a “corporate coin” amongst developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, primarily because of the possibility that law enforcement or government agencies may manipulate and abuse power to influence the development of ZCash.

it is a good digital currency for investors to explore. Nevertheless, this altcoin has a high capability to climb on the exchange with time. So investing in Zcash coins is a good decision—and some bold investors even think that with a few changes in its structure, this digital coin will become the future of cryptocurrencies.

Pros
  • Zcash has robust open-source, decentralized features that give its owners the best in terms of privacy and security—these innovatory features have made transactions involving this altcoin fast, quick, and, most importantly, secure. A leading technologist, Mason Borda, once tweeted, “Zcash is the only altcoin (that i know of) designed and built by professional and academic cryptographers. Hard to ignore.”
Cons
  • a single Zcash coin will cost USD 458.23. Well, talking about the future, like every other digital coin, Zcash’s price is volatile and subject to constant changes. As per Poloniex statistics, Zcash had a very good time during its launch. At that time, the high demand of this digital currency led its market value to rise way above two million dollars.

The main purpose of ZCash is to allow people to send and receive funds quickly, cheaply and most importantly — privately. In fact, the ZCash team hope that one day it will become a global payments system used by people all around the world.

Pros
  • the ZCash blockchain can process transactions much quicker than Bitcoin and it is also more scalable. Scalability is important as it means that a blockchain can process lots of transactions at once
Cons
  • There is a slight issue, though. For the first four years, ZCash developers will get 20% of all the transaction fees generated. They say that this will help fund the project, however, some people think this is unfair

I’ve covered everything from — why ZCash was built, to how it can be used. So, do you think it has the right specifications to become a global payments system? To be honest, I think it performs much better than Bitcoin, but the developers need to improve on its scalability

Pros
  • The main feature that ZCash has is that it hides the identity of both the sender and receiver. In fact, it is so private that the only information you can see is the transaction date and time! Just like Bitcoin, no single person or authority controls ZCash — it is decentralized! Instead, the blockchain is maintained by miners, who earn ZCash coins in return for their time and electric power
Cons
  • the system is able to confirm a new block every 2.5 minutes. A block is similar to a container carrying lots of different packages. However, instead of carrying packages, a block carries transactions! This is much quicker than Bitcoin, which normally takes 10 minutes to confirm a block

Pros
  • Due to its privacy features it is fungible, meaning that coins are ‘cleaned’ of their history as it cannot be traced.
Cons
  • No cons for me yet

zcash is a awesome project beacase many great pepole support and like zcash privacy and technology

Pros
  • zcash is a totally a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency on zcash says zcash is safer than other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, ethereum and many more, zcash is fungible cryptocurrency
Cons
  • due to privacy criminals and do bad things using zcash such as drug dealing and many more bad business

Overall ZCASH are very good in terms of technology, but they have to improve the ease of their wallet.

Pros
  • Zcash has now become a cryptocurrency and is highly ranked in the market, they have many investors and have a lot of convenience in transactions.
Cons
  • in my opinion, there are already various third-party options for storing and sending ZEC, their wallets have limited support for Zcash; specifically including protected addresses in transactions requires a large amount of computer memory and most of the wallets (both hardware and web-based) have not integrated this feature.

If they bring out a method to discourage illegal users, zcash has a good community and a team to take them forward.

Pros
  • Zcash offers a good privacy with selective transparency. And this has GPU mining to prevent centralization.
Cons
  • Anonymity of the coin sometimes may encourage bad people to use this in a illegal manner. Also zcash is very fungible.

might have a bright future ahead. Zcash is a blockchain and cryptocurrency developed to overcome bitcoin’s privacy flaws. Because it uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify and validate transactions, Zcash’s blockchain has practical utility for businesses and large organizations interested in systems that combine the benefits of blockchain technology with privacy.

Pros
  • Good Project , ZCash is a cryptocurrency with advanced privacy features, making it a serious contender in the privacy space.Zcash allows fully encrypted transactions to be confirmed as valid, whilst maintaining a simple to use interface suitable for newbies and veterans alike.Being open source, the core code is visible for all to scrutinize, ensuring that no bugs, backdoors or security flaws exist.Zcash is truly secure, being fully decentralized you are in full control of your funds, nobody, not even the government or bank can dictate what you do with your money low fees Zcash is its incredibly , with both private and transparent transaction fees being just a fraction of a cent
Cons
  • wallet application is very heavy run

Altcoin Zcash arose in 2016 from the Zerocoin project with the aim of making Bitcoin users even more anonymous. Zcash has its payments published in a chain of public blocks, but for security, it is up to the user to choose whether or not to hide the sender, the recipient, and the amount transferred.

Pros
  • It uses a zero knowledge test called zn-SNARK, "zero-knowledge Succinct Non-interactive ARgument of Knowledge". Zcash can automatically hide the shipping address, the address of the payee, and the value of all transactions. Like the BTC, only 21 million units of the Zcash coin will be mined over time.
Cons
  • Currency suspected to be centralized. There is a so-called "Reward Fund" in which the network withdraws 20% of the mined ZECs and passes on to its founders in the initial 4 years. As soon as the ZEC 21 million is mined, the "Reward Fund" will transfer 10% to those interested in the Zcash Foundation (Founders, investors, employees and their advisers).

We can use zcash for trading but for transportation I don't prefer it. There are many coins we can also use it.

Pros
  • Zcash is a coin and we can mine it in our desktop with miner. I use zcash. It already listed lbank huobi hitbtc yobit and many other exchanges. We can exchange it in these exchanges.
Cons
  • I think from support side zcash has no care. Since they should provide live chat support or support through telegram or discord. Zcash transaction is very slow. I think we can use other coin or token rather than zcash.

This is something very good, I really like them because they have successfully developed the project. This property will allow all new classes of blockchain applications to be built.

Pros
  • in my opinion, Zcash has successfully pioneered the use of zero-knowledge evidence, applying the latest cryptography to blockchain technology. this is a very good achievement.
Cons
  • they have weaknesses in transactions, the transaction process is often slow.

in my opinion, in the world of pre-digital currencies, both individuals and companies in their financial transactions must be transparent and confidential. With Zcash, users can enjoy the benefits of using public blockchain, while they still believe that their personal information is protected.

Pros
  • Financial transactions are very easy to use zcash because their costs are very cheap.
Cons
  • a little difficult to use their platform

Zcash is a cryptocurrency using the zerocoin protocol to better improve the zero cash system which is aimed at using cryptography to provide enhanced privacy for its users. Zcash was initially funded by bitcoin bigwig Roger very as a way of further anonymousing transactions.

Pros
  • Zcash platform is a decentralized, open source application that's capable of masking transactions by completely anonymousing each request via peer to peer node..
Cons
  • Zcash seems to be bereft of idea as to how to better improve it's platform. The community has been at loggerhead with each other with different factions breaking out to implement it's idea on a separate project

Zcash is a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency that provides strong privacy protections. It focuses on maintaining the absolute anonymity behind each transaction along with the parties and the amounts involved in it.

Pros
  • zcash is a good coin its thinking is good zcash team is very strong
Cons
  • 20

I have used zcash as a cryptocurrency transaction, their function is very good as a sale or purchase transaction, it's time to buy lots of zcash.

Pros
  • I see Zcash successfully fungibility into cryptocurrency by removing protected coins from their history on the blockchain., the technology applied by zcash is also very sophisticated, they have a very broad market.
Cons
  • a little difficult to use zcash wallet for transactions
