Scaling Zcash Governance
summary
Argues governance scales by creating multiple, consensus‑compatible node implementations rather than new committees: currently supporting two implementations (zcashd and zebra), using the ZIP spec, test suites and node deployment counts as the real power, and relying on the plausible threat of chain split to force compatibility. Proposes a legal trademark agreement that prevents unilateral rebranding, warns coin‑vote binding creates plutocracy, and plans measured hiring to reach parity before adding a third client.
