Hi all I'm one of the lead Zclassic devs and I'm the one who mined the genesis block. I just wanted to give some input as far as vision with the coin and short-term and long-term goals.
I'm heavily involved in the privacy/infosec community and have been working on an alternative to the Tor Browser and came across Rhett's plan on Twitter about forking Zcash. I thought it was ingenious and offered some help and that's how I came to mine the genesis block.
Lately I've been putting my spare time working on the first completely open-source Equihash pool (
https://github.com/joshuayabut/z-nomp) which currently works for mining but still needs a bit more testing. As soon as that's stable I'll be focusing on developing a Windows wallet for Zclassic.
My main goal is to drive up usability of the coin and to make it a better alternative than Zcash. In the end I'm hoping the coin is stable enough that I can include it into my Tor browser alternative for secure and anonymous payments.
If you want to help out we really need people to assist with writing, development, and community support.
I'm normally around on Slack if you need anything.
Thanks for listening!
