Another month, another Zeal Center report!
As you can see, we have had new users join and our existing users remain active and participating in the global Fediverse.
We had one instance block the Zeal Center server from federating with it, not because something one of our members posted but because we federate with cryptodon.lol, another cryptocurrency-related instance. This is an interesting situation on two dimensions: one is the guilt-by-association mindset of some admins and the other is the “all cryptocurrency is bad” mentality. Both of these are probably worthy of a whole blog post and I will probably write them soon. For now, I want to point out that the second should be a great concern for the Zcash community.
Outside of the Crypto-Twitter bubble, the perception of the blockchain industry is so poor that some people argue for dismissing the entire industry. This issue needs to be addressed head on if we want adoption of the technology to increase and the community to grow.
Instance Funding
The Zeal Center wallet currently holds 0.30079605 ZEC and the server is paid for until 2023-05-07.
