just voted privately with my shielded ZEC.
also kind of surreal realizing i just participated in the first production deployment of private information retrieval in cryptocurrency history.
PIR + zk-SNARKs + homomorphic encryption, composed so my ZEC can prove its voting power without revealing my balance, transaction history or individual vote with an intuitive UX of open wallet → vote.
ergo you don’t need registrations, moving funds, locking of your asset and you can literally keep spending your money.
so when i say zcash has one of the most formidable engineering in crypto, this is exactly what i mean. onward!
