Kris Nuttycombe of the Zcash Open Development Lab came back to the show two years after his first visit, this time on a hotel sofa at Zcon7 in Cancun, on the last day of the conference and around Zcash's tenth birthday.
We cover the price move and the Binance hack that was unfolding while we spoke, Zcash as what Bitcoin could have been, hard forks as a superpower, the end of Sprout and the inflation bug, Ironwood and formal verification, Crosslink and hybrid proof of work, ZIP 318 and Tachyon, the Dev Fund and Zcash Community Grants, the Equihash ASIC extinction event, and why ossification is death.
