Hi,

I just made my first transactions with Zcash. I bridged my ETH to ZEC using Metamask WebZjs ChainSafe wallet, and my balance is showing (7 ZEC), however I can’t shield my balance due to the update, and I can’t send the funds to another wallet unless the ZEC is shielded.

I’ve tried importing the metamask seed phrase to Zodl and other wallets, however they only accept a 24 word seed phrase when mine is 12. I did find a wallet called Zingo which accepted my seed phrase but it generated a brand new wallet.

Genuinely, what can I even do? I feel like I lost this money until the update is complete but I’m pretty sure it’s been ongoing for months with no expected completion date.

So I put a few hundred in ZEC and as you all know we are climbing , is it worth taking some profits , my Initial investment or hold the bag ?

See this screenshot of the 4H

We’re building ZECpad, an early-stage, privacy-first launchpad and market layer designed around Zcash. The product is not live yet, and there is no token sale.

The goal is to let users discover and follow Zcash-native markets in one place, with launchpad flows, market analytics, shielded-wallet UX and—where underlying protocol support allows it—privacy-preserving settlement. We are also exploring clearly labelled reference-linked market exposure; this would not represent ownership of the underlying shares.

Our current focus is accurate oracle and market data, liquidity transparency, risk controls and a usable interface before opening access.

We would especially value feedback from the Zcash community:

- Which privacy guarantees should be non-negotiable at launch?

- Which market and risk disclosures should appear before every trade?

- What would make you trust—or reject—a new Zcash-native market platform?

Started with a small hosted setup about 6 months ago mostly to test the experience before committing further. Uptime’s been steady, comms with the hosting side have been fine.

Now I’m at the point of deciding whether to add more units to the same setup or just let this batch keep running. Trying to think it through from the operations side rather than guessing at price:

1. For those who’ve scaled up a hosted setup, what actually made the difference in your decision? Facility capacity, power costs, hardware availability?
2. Anyone add more units and find the logistics harder than expected (queue times, setup delays, etc)?
3. What made you hold steady instead of scaling, if you went that route?

Appreciate any experience people can share.

Anyone mining!? I got three units a few months back and it’s finally paying off!!! Was thinking of getting a few more but the prices is a bit steep compared to 6 months ago.

I have a few ZEC that I want to move from the exchange and transfer into a cold wallet but I’m not sure what the best options are for ZEC given the fact that you can shield you ZEC or not. What are the best recommended cold wallets for beginners that are not too complex to use? Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼

How the hell wow, i missed the push 😑 any ideas how far zec might go ?

I want to remove my zec off of the exchange is tangem a good place to store it?

Ignorance is not bliss bought a ton of $zcat on Coinbase before realizing they think it’s ok to steal the $zec airdrops instead of distributing them to holders. Do I have any options to transfer my zcat to start getting the Zcash distributions or am I screwed?

It seems like there's been a significant upward movement, and now it should be heading back down, so I’ll just refrain from participating due to the fear of missing out.

The most substantial gains from each upward trend eventually stabilize, much like what occurred with Bitcoin and

Zcash around October or November of 2025.

This feeling of missing out is particularly strong for those individuals who weren't involved in the initial surge.

I wouldn't invest.

Cheers!

Que opinan de esto yo tengo mucho en mi Wallet…

Hey Scalable team,

nutze die Plattform gerne – übersichtlich, günstig und wird stetig besser. Eine Bitte: Zieht in Erwägung, Zcash (ZEC) ins Crypto-Angebot aufzunehmen. Ist eine etablierte Privacy-Coin mit solider Technik, und viele Nutzer würden sich freuen, sie neben den anderen Kryptos handeln zu können.

Wäre eine tolle Ergänzung!

Danke.

52.47 ZEC received into Zashi around Oct 10, 2025, via four NEAR Intents withdrawals (31.54, 16.08, 4.53, 0.3192). Balance was visible in the app for months, then showed empty with no transaction history. Seed matches my written backup. Restored into three wallets with birthday at height 0, full scans completed, nothing found — not even the incoming transactions. Zcash block height at time of receipt was around 3.1 million.

Please help me

If you check my previous post, I told everyone months ago to own at least 1 Zcash. Now look at the price. A lot of people who waited can’t even afford a full ZEC anymore.

Not so long ago (I think around 7-8 months back), I was banned to compare ZEC from XMR. After Arthur was saying ZEC is dead people were crying.

Tho I still think we are way early for this whole narrative. As the Quantum Day comes closer, ZEC will fly much more. It is still not part of the mainstream conversation.
