Zcash is a new cryptocurrency that launched on Friday, October 28, 2016. A clone of Bitcoin forked from the Bitcoin codebase 0.11, Zcash is differentiated from Bitcoin and Ethereum by the added functionality of completely private transactions. For that reason, Zcash has been hailed as “untraceable”.
To allow private transactions, Zcash employs a technology from a branch of cryptography and computer science called zero-knowledge proofs.

I think zcash is a cryptocurrency, uses zero knowledge proofs involving a greater degree of privacy that does even list out the amount and identity of the parties, to the transaction.

Zcash (ZEC) is another Crypto currency like bitcoin but with a few different features. Like Bitcoin it is based on a decentralised blockchain but allows for anonymity behind transaction amounts and parties involved. In Bitcoin if you know someone's address you can follow their transactions and you can see which all the addresses and their transaction amounts - so its quite clear how much money is moving around, with ZCash all the information is encrypted.

Before holding any coin, it is important to know what is that coin? Let's see what is zcash (https://seo spaminfo/zcash/what-is-zcash)?

Zcash was developed from the scientific Zerocoin protocol, which was enhanced to form the Zerocash system. This subsequently developed into the Zcash cryptocurrency by the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company, also referred to as the Zcash Company.

The Zcash cryptocurrency uses a technology called zero-knowledge cryptography, which allows Zcash to protect the privacy of the transaction.

Zcash is currently quite warmly discussed in the atmosphere of the cryptocurrency industry which is full of speculation. In short, Zcash is an asset payment value where all sender names, recipient names and the entire transaction value are kept secret from the blockchain automatically. Only someone who has the "key" can only see the contents of the transaction content.

Zcash is a crypto currency that can be transacted completely anonymously. The sender, recipient and even the number of transfers on the blockchain will not be known. However, this currency unit cannot store historical previous usage. Transaction block verification is carried out without information breakdown, but crypto currency codes remain open.

It is certain that Zcash has a function that is different from Bitcoin.
Zcash was created possible for long-term investments and Zcash is also used for guide coins for Zcoin, Zclassic and ANON.

ZCash is actually a fork of Bitcoin that occurred in October of 2016. Much like Bitcoin, it is a decentralised peer-to-peer electronic cash. It also a hard limit of 21m coins hard-coded into its protocol. However, this is where the similarities end. ZCash was developed specifically to have anonymous transactions that are private and fungible. It was forked from Bitcoin by Zooko Wilcox who wanted to create a private cryptocurrency. It was originally called ZeroCoin until being renamed.

Zcash is a cryptocurrency with a strong focus on the privacy of transactions in a blockchain network. The Zcash network was founded back in October 2016 and runs the cryptocurrency ZEC. Since Zcash is a direct fork from Bitcoin, the two networks share a few similarities. Much like Bitcoin, Zcash is a decentralised peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network with a limit of 21 million coins. The token ticker for Zcash is ZEC. Led by privacy specialist and long time cypherpunk  Zooko Wilcox, Zcash was launched with the belief that privacy is essential for businesses, protects societies and is critical for core human values such as dignity, ethics, and intimacy.

Zcash is a publicly encrypted blockchain and scientific breakthrough in cryptography with its use of zero-knowledge cryptography known as zk-SNARKS. This framework allows the user to leverage two addresses: one fully private and one transparent (similar to Bitcoin). The two customizable modes, shielded and transparent, allow your transaction to be completely anonymous or publicly viewable.

The Zcash coin is a decentralized and an open source cryptocurrency, which provides and offers users with the selective transparency of their transactions. The peer to peer cryptographic research on which the Zcash technology is based is developed from the battle-tested Bitcoin Core’s codebase. It is developed by a team specializing in security engineering.

Zcash is a decentralized peer-to-peer cryptocurrency. It was created as a fork of Bitcoin and quite like bitcoin it also has a hard limit of 21 million coins. But that is where the comparison ends. Unlike bitcoin, Zcash offers complete and total privacy for their users through the use of some ingenious cryptography.

Zcash is a peer to peer (P2P) cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. But unlike Bitcoin, its sole priority is to focus on private, anonymous, and fungible transactions that Bitcoin can’t-do. Zcash was forked out of Bitcoin and launched in October 2016, and it was previously known as Zerocoin. It is based on a special cryptographic protocol that shields a sender’s information, a receiver’s information, and the amount transacted between the two parties. Zcash’s open cryptocurrency project uses a zk-SNARK protocol. This is a new cryptographic zero-knowledge proof protocol that ensures privacy, anonymity, and fungibility of Zcash coins.

Zcash is a cryptocurrency network that launched in October of 2016. Like other cryptocurrency networks (e.g. Bitcoin or Ethereum), Zcash allows anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to send and receive scarce tokens that can be used like cash on the Internet. The software that powers Zcash is directly derived from Bitcoin’s core software, but it has been modified in order to enhance user privacy. The members of the network who relay, validate, and bundle user transactions into blocks are, like in Bitcoin, commonly called miners. These miners are rewarded for honest participation with transaction fees and newly minted Zcash, and they must solve a difficult math problem (similar but distinct from Bitcoin’s mining algorithm) in order to earn the privilege of participation. As with Bitcoin, anyone can be a miner on the Zcash network, all they need is an Internet connection, a reasonably powerful computer, and the free and open source Zcash software. Zcash is an open blockchain network.

Zcash is similar to Bitcoin in that transactions are posted on a public blockchain. However, privacy is ensured as personal and transaction data is kept confidential. This is made possible through zero-knowledge proofs. This allows transactions to be verified without any information about the sender, receiver, and the amount transacted. It is possible to disclose some transaction data at the user’s will through Zcash features known as ‘viewing keys’ and ‘payment disclosure.’ This makes transactions on Zcash auditable and regulation-compliant.

Since the dawn of Bitcoin way back 2008, Zcash is one of the latest player on block of cryptocurrencies. Through the years, many altcoins have came out also from any part of the world and that is from Bitcoin inspiration where Zcash is one of them. A large portion of these renditions have attempted to concoct some upper hands opposite bitcoin, and keeping in mind that few have seen premium, many work with a little market capitalization, volumes and flow.
Enter Zcash, a decentralized and open-source digital currency, which looks encouraging. "In the event that Bitcoin resembles http for cash, Zcash is https," is the manner by which it characterizes itself. Zcash offers protection and specific straightforwardness of exchanges.

Zcash is a privacy-focused blockchain and cryptocurrency that was developed in response to bitcoin’s flaws. It uses the same algorithm as bitcoin but improves upon it by enabling semi-transparent processing. In simple words, this means that it eschews the radical transparency of bitcoin’s blockchain for a more nuanced implementation. In this implementation, user transaction data is revealed selectively.
