Our instance turns two years old this month. I am very proud of our community for supporting this idea, that we can run the services we need ourselves and can have a social media presence without being bound by a corporate overlord. We have even outlasted Cohost.
Unfortunately, some of the other blockchain-related instances on the Fediverse have gone away. This is why I think it is even more important than ever to have our community be part of the Fediverse. Our every interaction shows people that the blockchain community is not just scammers, but everyday people with diverse interests and backgrounds. There is a very active community in the Fediverse discussing privacy and digital rights, and I believe the Zcash community needs to be part of that dialog.
Instance Funding
The Zeal Center wallet currently holds 0.06982605 ZEC, so it is time for another fundraiser. Our April fundraiser was very successful, covering our hosting costs all the way until December.
The ongoing generosity of our members drives me to continue with this effort of maintaining this space for our community.
At current prices, 13 ZEC would cover our hosting costs for an entire year. If you can, please consider donating because every zat helps.
Also, remember to tell your friends about us, ask them to create an account and start exploring the Fediverse.
Thank you, members of the Zeal!
