A lot privacy coins taking off recently...$DERO $XHV. Monero forks though with supposedly better tech. $ZCASH has some competition.

Great exchange to trade ZEC! Amazing to see so many fiat available in a exchange platform

Sapling Hardfork

The Zcash twitter team have been building up the anticipation all week in the lead up to the Sapling update, and have earmarked October 28th for the initiation date – as per the Saturday’s tweet:

“Activation block 419200 will be mined October 28, 2018 18:21 UTC-05:00 assuming 150 seconds/block.”

The update is expected to improve the ZEC blockchain’s handling of shielded addresses. According to a recent blog post:

“Sapling is a network upgrade that introduces significant efficiency improvements for shielded transactions that will pave the way for broad mobile, exchange and vendor adoption of Zcash shielded addresses.”

More details on the update can be read here: https://z.cash/upgrade/sapling

Considering that Zcash is a private coin, what measures are in place to record hacks? Let’s say, if coins were duplicated from a hack, how would Zcash know what coins were fake?

New blog. In "Sapling Transaction Anatomy" -  break down the nuanced differences in transaction structure for legacy vs Sapling shielded addresses:

Things are still looking bright for Zcash although I don't think the sapling release will really bring any kind of upside to the price, market is still extremely bearish, especially in the alts.

The biggest thing to take away here is that Zcash has many attributes that lead me to think its a prime candidate to be accumulating at these levels. Here are some of my thoughts and why i have been accumulating over the past months:

1. Gemini NYC approval for listing and custody, perfect exposure to institutional investors

2. Perfect blend of privacy and transparency, a user can either be public or private with their funds, nothing against Monero but a 100% private coin will never be seen as "Ok" in big brothers eyes.

3. zk-Snarks tech, been adopted by sooo many other coins because they realize the benefits of it

4. Pending coinbase addition, I believe it will be added to the $25 dollar minimum bundle purchase meaning anyone will be able to buy it with credit card.

5. In my opinion it's the BEST implementation of the zerocoin protocol, founder block rewards keep tech advancing and development rolling (devs dont work for free), backed by legitimate company and early devs of zerocoin protocol implemented Zcash in line with it.

6. Embracing Asics leads to enterprise level mining which yields a much stronger network.

Now I know alot of people would debate me on several points but market cap shows Zcash stands alone still as the highest market cap coin with zerocoin protocol and one of the top tier privacy coins.
