2. Top Recent Zcash News

A general observation is that with global regulatory agencies cracking down on crypto usage, the demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like the ZCash is on the rise. Recently, India has proposed an anti-crypto ban that aims to put an absolute ban on crypto usage. The bill further proposes a 10-year jail for anyone dealing in any sort of crypto-related activities.



Binance CEO Changing Zhao said that such measures initiated by India will push the adoption of privacy-focused coins like ZCash and Monero:

Cryptocurrencies like ZCash can still help Indian crypto enthusiasts to stay hidden from the oversight of the lawmakers and the government.





The Earn ZCash Campaign initiated by Coinable has been a massive success providing Coinbase users the chance to earn ZCash tokens just for watching short educational video lessons about the privacy-focused cryptocurrency.



ZCash’s founding company the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company allocated around 15,518 Zcash for this educational purpose. Over 100,000 Coinbase users have been reported to have followed this campaign.





Simon Liu, the ex-employee of Zerocoin has recently sued the company claiming $2 million of unpaid shares, damages, and breach of trust. In August 2016, Simon Liu joined Zerocoin as a Senior Software Engineer. During that time, Liu entered a contract with Zerocoin to receive “incentive stock options to purchase” 12,000 stock of the company.



As per the document, Liu claims that Zerocoin was not legally qualified to offer equity in the first place. Thus, he has accused the founders of making false promises regarding employee compensation. The complaint is filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco.
