Motivation and Overview
This is a community-driven news program where viewers can earn Zcash!
It features up-to-date video tutorials about how to use Zcash securely, including education on Zcash governance and protocol upgrades versus other technologies.
1. Discover ZEC
We curate news from a variety of sources to create concise notes, audio clips and visual content that ultimately makes the Zcash Community more discoverable online.
2. Discuss ZEC
Anonymizing avatars available on modern smartphones welcome new audiences into our discussions as we promote the stuff we find in the evergreen Zcash Community.
3. Use ZEC Daily
Hosting show notes and “content contests” on ZECpages helps onboard new Zcash users every week and grow the shielded pool
Technical approach
1. Recursive
- Every week, we reward last week's contributors with Zcash
2. Accountable
- Clear deliverables are published for the world to read, hear and see every week as our show deciphers Zcash
3. Composable
- Our storyboard is constructed in segments that can be redistributed by our viewers throughout the week
Our Show's Composable Operating Model:
Execution risks & Downsides
We think that earning a set amount of Zcash every week is critical to the long-term success of this project.
