In Nigeria Dr. Eloho Erezi-kesi @CQ_Elzz .
She's talking about @Zcash and what it entails.
Developers, creators, and researchers all have an opportunity to create and earn Zec.
Opportunities can be find in @zec_forge which is fi creators working on cash content and community education.
Also @ZecHub contribute educational resources, research and tutorials.
@ZkAv_Club explores audiovisual and event documentation.
Setting up Zodl wallet:
-A wallet receivingband holding Zec.
-Download the app
-Create a wallet
-Back up or save your recovery phrase.
Make transactions.
On the zcash Blockchain, there's shielded and transparent transaction which makes your transactions private.
You can also spend Zec and convert to naira.
Earn it,hold it,spend it.

He's been in prison for 5 years because a computer flagged him in a database.
He still says he’s innocent. The computer got it wrong.
In the age of mass surveillance, your innocence won't protect you.
They'll take all the fragments of your life out of context to put you away.

We have another addition to the Shielded Labs team! Michael Guima (@michael2xl) is joining as our Community Lead. He’ll help us build stronger connections with the Zcash community and keep people informed about our work. He’ll also develop educational resources and documentation that explain the technology behind our projects and make Zcash governance easier to understand and follow.
Michael leads @zcashbrazil, where he has built a team whose contributions span education, software development, design, and community building. They publish news and tutorials in Portuguese, organize events such as Zcon Vozes, and represent Zcash at Brazil’s major crypto events. They created the Zcash Global Discord, a central gathering place for the Zcash community. They also helped launch ZecHub DAO and advise new communities as they get started. Under his leadership, the team has developed and continues to maintain more than ten open-source products. These include the first Zcash faucet on mainnet, ZebraPi—the first plug-and-play Zebra node—and LiveZEC, which lets livestreamers receive ZEC donations. Much of their work serves the wider Zcash community, well beyond Brazil.
Michael also developed @openzcash, a community resource that brings together information about Zcash and presents it in a clear and useful format. It lets people explore how grants are funded and paid, follow governance proposals, and review voting results, with links to the underlying sources. I’ve been especially impressed by the depth of the data and the thought he’s put into presenting it. It’s a strong example of his ability to turn complex information into something the community can easily explore and use.
I’ve long admired Michael’s contributions to Zcash and often interacted with him during my time on Zcash Community Grants. The energy he brings to his work and how much his team accomplished always stood out to me. Under his leadership, Zcash Brazil has become a model for other regional Zcash communities.
Michael will continue to lead Zcash Brazil in a more limited capacity as he takes on his role at Shielded Labs. I’m looking forward to working closely with him and seeing what we can build together.
Please join me in welcoming Michael to Shielded Labs!

Thank you to the @ZcashFoundation and everyone who organized Zcon7. I have believed in Zcash since I first learned about it: the need for private, surveillance-free money has always existed, and there is no freedom with controlled money. Zcon7 let me deepen my understanding of this technology.
Thank you my @zcashbrazil team!
We need to be human and think beyond our own experience; that reduces ignorance.
Long live Zcash! 💛

That’s a wrap on #Zcon7! 🎉 Gracias to everyone who joined us in Cancún - you made it a week to remember. Some of you called it the best conference you’ve ever attended!
Got a favorite moment? Share it with #Zcon7 and tag us @ZcashFoundation!

We are grateful to @Grayscale for a $100,000 donation to Zcash Foundation.
Gifts like this help sustain the work we do every day. All of it is open source and built for the public good. Thank you, Grayscale, for supporting the people and infrastructure behind Zcash.
The power of Zcash ($ZEC) is built and strengthened by the community around it.
That’s why we’re directing $1M to non-profit organizations and initiatives advancing the Zcash ecosystem.
We’ve awarded the first $400K to @ZcashFoundation, @pgpzcash, @TachyonZcash, and @ShieldedLabs. We are proud to support the work they do in helping usher in The Next Era of Crypto. #ZcashEra

My contract at Midjourney wrapped up, and I am once again looking for the next gig
My plan this time: simply make a bunch of fun content until someone hires me to keep doing that!
So today I am presenting:
📲 THE LAST 100 STARTUPS 💻
...mentioned on Hacker News recently. The last 100 that showed up in the comments.
But hey, maybe the last 100 ever? Before all new software is vibecoded in-house and we become serfs of Anthropic and OpenAI 😉
Anyway, the best part of this app is merging the startups! Drag-and-drop one bubble onto another to create man-made horrors within comprehension, like this mashup of Bluesky and Polymarket
You can also feed startups to the hungry mouths of Big Tech and get a verdict on their fate
Let me know what you think! Show me your mergers! They are powered by the @Kimi_Moonshot API

Frenchman who wrench attacks gets wrench attacked again. Glock bests wrench, gendarmes best man.
This French wrench attack has some unique twists.
The victim had already been kidnapped before in 2022.
This time, the victim managed to fire a Glock at the attackers and scare them off.
The victim received 2.5 years in prison for using the gun.

Seriously, @Wise? My daughter isn't allowed to buy chocolate? Every transaction she makes on her card pops up as a notification on my phone, and she knows it. I don't need you to do any more parenting for me than that, thanks.

A secure wallet still depends on a secure phone.
DarkSword can target crypto wallets on unpatched iPhones through malicious websites.
Update iOS, keep automatic updates on, and be cautious with links.
Self-custody means owning your security habits too.

#CertiKInsight 🚨
A new version of DarkSword, an iOS exploit kit, is being used to target crypto wallets on unpatched iPhones.
Simply opening a malicious site in Safari can be enough: no wallet connection, no signature needed.
Here's what you need to know 🧵

The red dot right in the center of the frame is not just a speck of dust on the sensor. It’s one of the most distant galaxies we have ever seen.
Its light has been traveling to us for 13.3 billion years. We are seeing it as it was only 420 million years after the Big Bang — at a time when the universe was less than 3% of its current age. The first stars were just beginning to ignite, galaxies were only starting to assemble from gas, and space was still filled with a fog of neutral hydrogen.
This tiny red point sits almost at the very edge of what we can detect. Its red color comes from extreme redshift: the ultraviolet light of young stars has been stretched into the infrared and shifted into the red part of the spectrum. What looks like a barely visible dot is actually an entire early galaxy that existed when the first structures in the cosmos were only beginning to form.
Every object like this is a window into the era of cosmic dawn. It is precisely these “red dots” that force astronomers to rethink how quickly and efficiently the first galaxies appeared in the universe.
