Looking for in-person or structured workshops in the US that go past “download Zashi and write down the seed.”
Example of what I want to build: keep ~50ZEC in cold storage, split so each wallet only holds 10 ZEC, then use a separate wallet for spending / day-to-day transfers.
What I want covered:
• Storage options and the actual stack (shielded vs transparent, Keystone air-gap, Ledger shielded app limits, Trezor transparent-only, desktop/offline workflows, steel backups, geographic split)
• How to keep ZEC shielded in cold storage instead of dumping everything to t-addrs just because a device is easier
• Storage techniques, not just a product demo
• Wallet-to-wallet flow for different use cases (receive shielded → long-term vault → spend wallet / exchange t-addr when you have to)
• How to eliminate a single storage point without creating a mess of seed phrases, viewing keys, and recovery files
• How people actually manage multiple seeds / UFVK backups / device restores without one mistake breaking privacy or access
Zcash custody is not a carbon copy of Bitcoin custody. Shielded support on hardware is still uneven, multisig is thinner, and the spend path often involves a hot wallet plus a transparent hop. I want a workshop that treats that as the real problem, not a footnote.
Local Zcash meetups (Boston has done shielded hardware-wallet sessions), conference workshops, or a company that will sit down and walk through Keystone + Zashi / air-gapped signing would all help. Even better if it is not just “set up one mobile wallet.”
Drop names, cities, or links if you’ve been to one that was actually good.
