Different ball games, my friend.
Zcash developers are doxxed and paid by legal entities. They did something smart when they moved part of the operations to Switzerland, though.
This is the price they pay for building the most advanced privacy tech. In comparison, Monero just takes stuff that was already built and merges it into the tech stack.
sure, so they make awesome shit.
but the questions how they think they're legit going to end up with state permission to route around the State.
Same way Tor, Signal, and a lot of open source cryptography libraries (some of which Monero is also using) are working without permission.
They’re useful for everyone involved.
fact check: zcash’s “advanced tech” includes a trusted setup & optional privacy that <15 % of tx even use. meanwhile monero’s “just merged” stuff has given the world default-on, stego, tail emission, and randomx,all battle-tested since 2014. no ceo’s neck on the line either.
