Question 1

What is Zcash?

Accepted Answer

Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses advanced cryptography (zk-SNARKs) to provide optional privacy for transactions. It allows users to choose between transparent transactions (like Bitcoin) or shielded transactions where sender, receiver, and amount remain private.

Question 2

Why will Zcash reach $10,000?

Accepted Answer

Zcash has strong fundamentals including: (1) Limited supply of 21 million coins, (2) Cutting-edge privacy technology with zk-SNARKs, (3) Growing institutional adoption, (4) Increasing demand for financial privacy, (5) Regulatory clarity compared to other privacy coins, and (6) Strong development team and community support.

Question 3

How do I sign the pledge?

Accepted Answer

Simply click the "Sign with 𝕏" button on the homepage. You'll be redirected to Twitter/X to authorize the connection (read-only access). Once authorized, your username and avatar will be displayed in our Believers section. We only read your public profile information and never post without permission.

Question 4

Is my Twitter data safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We only request READ-ONLY access to your public Twitter profile (username, display name, and avatar). We NEVER: post tweets on your behalf, access your direct messages, or view your followers/following list. Your data is only used to display you as a supporter on our platform.

Question 5

What is zk-SNARK?

Accepted Answer

zk-SNARK stands for "Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge." It's a cryptographic proof that allows one party to prove they possess certain information without revealing the information itself. In Zcash, this enables fully private transactions where the network can verify transactions are valid without knowing the sender, receiver, or amount.

Question 6

How do I buy Zcash?

Accepted Answer

You can buy Zcash (ZEC) on major cryptocurrency exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and Gemini. Steps: (1) Create an account on an exchange, (2) Complete identity verification (KYC), (3) Deposit funds (bank transfer or card), (4) Search for ZEC and place a buy order, (5) Transfer to a private wallet for maximum security.

Question 7

Is Zcash legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Zcash is legal in most countries. Unlike some privacy coins, Zcash offers OPTIONAL privacy, meaning users can choose transparent or shielded transactions. This flexibility, combined with features like "Selective Disclosure" (ability to prove transaction details when needed), makes Zcash more compliant-friendly than mandatory privacy coins.

Question 8

What makes Zcash different from Bitcoin?

Accepted Answer

While both have a 21 million supply cap, Zcash offers optional privacy through zk-SNARKs. Bitcoin transactions are transparent on the blockchain (anyone can see amounts and addresses), while Zcash shielded transactions keep this information private. Zcash also has faster block times (75 seconds vs Bitcoin's 10 minutes).

Question 9

Who created Zcash?

Accepted Answer

Zcash was created by a team of cryptographers led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Brien in 2016. The protocol is developed by Electric Coin Company (ECC) and supported by the Zcash Foundation. Notable advisors include cryptography experts from Johns Hopkins University and MIT.

Question 10

How can I support this movement?

Accepted Answer

You can support us by: (1) Signing the pledge on our homepage, (2) Sharing zcash10k.com on social media with #Zcash and $ZEC hashtags, (3) Following and engaging with Zcash community members on Twitter/X, (4) Educating others about privacy rights and Zcash technology, and (5) Donating ZEC to support the website (address on homepage).

Question 11

What is the Zcash supply schedule?

Accepted Answer

Zcash has a maximum supply of 21 million coins, with about 76% already mined. Block rewards halve approximately every 4 years (similar to Bitcoin). The next halving will further reduce new supply, creating potential supply shocks. This programmatic scarcity is a key factor in long-term price appreciation.

Question 12

Is this website affiliated with Zcash Foundation or Electric Coin Company?

Accepted Answer

No, ZCASH to $10,000 is an independent community project created by Zcash supporters. We are not officially affiliated with the Zcash Foundation, Electric Coin Company, or any official Zcash organization. This is a grassroots movement by believers in Zcash technology and privacy rights.
