Announcing my resignation from the Zcash ZOMG forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/announcing-m…

I didn't mention sexism in the post because I was afraid it would overshadow my primary point i.e. "Large amount of funding in this space should come with the expectation of responsibility"

But that has happened anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Many in the Zcash community think it is a higher evil to notify users about unsafe software than it is to build unsafe software in the first place. Without substantial changes to that culture, I can't see how it has a future that people should trust.

But maybe I'm just being "emotional" and thin skinned. Sounds like me.

With Zcash Foundation board members now adding fuel to the fire by literally misstating ZOMG grant decisions, I have no idea what else to add here.

For the record I really like(d) Zcash, the technology and cryptographic engineering behind it is second-to-none. But that isn't enough to build secure software. You need a willingness to apply oversight and an ability to read to the end of sentences.
