HEY. YOU. LISTEN. You matter. Right now. Today. Every effort counts, even the ones you feel are too small. Stand up. Even if it hurts. Especially if it feels impossible. This is your fight. Your moment. Your life. Move: 1. Do something. Anything. One small action beats a thousand “I’ll start tomorrow”s. 2. Shut out the noise. Forget what drains you. Protect your energy. 3. Show up for yourself. Head high. Shoulders back. Eyes locked on what matters. 4. Build your power. Confidence is earned by action, not waiting. No shortcuts. No excuses. No one has to cheer you on. You are enough. You can rise. You will rise. Get up. Step forward. Own your day. Dominate yourself, not anyone else.

Dev Fund or no Dev Fund, the best thing any of us can do tonight is build something people can use. Funding models can be debated calmly.

zec is for everyone.
Replying to @El_DoN_EV
if supporting zcash adoption campaigns in "highly polarizing industries" sets the dead of zcash, then it deserved to die (which is not the case) only newcomers and turists are mad about that zcash og supporters, privacy/freedom advocates see no problem with that zec is for everyone. onward.

Remember hardware wallets? Cold storage isn’t magic. A brand isn’t a security guarantee. And self-custody means taking responsibility for more than just holding a device. Hot take: Are hardware wallets still the gold standard of self-custody, or has the industry become too comfortable selling trust in a box? Fight me in the comments. 👇

If you were really in it for the tech, you’d be ballz deep in Zcash, where self-custody meets true cypherpunk privacy.

Nice to see a whole Zcash family built around holding and running your own node 👀 $ZEC
The Zecky family. 
Hold, keep, split, run your own node. Quietly. 
Open source, in testing.

Your apps talk more than you think. Here's how to see it, and quiet them down. 5 minutes, iPhone. 1. See it first Settings → Privacy & Security → App Privacy Report → turn on. Why: Apple shows every address each app contacts. Some ordinary apps hit dozens in minutes. 2. Stop cross-app tracking Privacy & Security → Tracking → off. Why: apps can't follow you between apps with your advertising ID. 3. No background chatter General → Background App Refresh → off for apps that don't need it. Why: closed apps stop phoning home. 4. Check each app's own settings Look for Privacy, Analytics or Data sharing. Switch off what's optional. Why: many apps share usage data by default. 5. Local Network Privacy & Security → Local Network → off for apps that don't need it. Why: they shouldn't map the devices in your home. 6. Delete what you don't use Why: no app, no connections. Check the report again in a few days. Privacy you can see.

“Split it” because safety shouldn't come in a box with your home address on it. Your seed phrase, split into three parts, fully offline. Real self-custody, in your own hands.
Don't trust. Check it yourself. Zecky Split it: zero network activity. It splits your seed phrase into three parts, fully offline. Any two bring it back, one alone reveals nothing. No account. No personal data. No third party.

I’m confused by the outrage from certain people around Crosslink. At this point, it’s an R&D effort. There’s no activation proposal or ZIPs, and it isn’t on the mainnet roadmap. It’s a prototype design that we’re testing and iterating on. Research and experimentation are good for Zcash. Permissionless innovation means people can explore ideas without first securing everyone’s agreement, and the Zcash community should encourage that. Good-faith debate is how Zcash improves, and we welcome scrutiny of Crosslink’s design, assumptions, and tradeoffs. We’re working on Crosslink because we think stronger protection against reorg and rollback attacks may be a necessary security upgrade for Zcash at some point. AI or other forces could eventually challenge the security assumptions behind PoW, and our thesis is that a hybrid model may offer stronger security than either pure PoW or pure PoS. Shielded Labs’ mission is to protect the long-term security of Zcash. It’s a common theme across all our projects, including Crosslink, the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM), and Epoch. We also demonstrated that commitment by bringing on Taylor Hornby as a security researcher to use AI tools to identify potential vulnerabilities, which uncovered the Orchard counterfeiting bug. We want to address potential risks before they become urgent, and recent events have shown the value of being forward-looking. The burden of proof is on us. If we want Crosslink included in a future network upgrade, it’s our responsibility to demonstrate consensus. But that’s still a long way off. For now, we’re focused on improving the design, incorporating user feedback, and working toward a production-ready implementation for the community and coinholders to evaluate. There’s still a lot of work to do before we’d propose Crosslink for mainnet, and we plan to run it on testnet for an extended period of time. If you disagree with Crosslink, challenge the design and help us understand what we’re missing. We all want Zcash to succeed. Let’s focus on strengthening and protecting Zcash as a whole by giving research and experimentation room to happen. If you're interested in learning more about Crosslink or participating in the incentivized testnet, feel free to DM me.
Crosslink is a proposed hybrid PoW/PoS upgrade for Zcash. By standardizing staking bonds into incremental powers of 10, observers are prevented from easily inferring individual staking patterns, preserving privacy and maintaining accountability among finalizers.

Hardware wallet data breaches prove one thing: your device isn’t your security. Your seed phrase is. Store it wrong, and one leak, phishing attack, or compromised backup can cost you everything. Self-custody without seed phrase security is just self-deception.
