Zdash 1.0.3

What is Zdash?

[Zdash] is a private implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol forked from [Zcash]. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.

This software is the Zdash client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zdash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the block chain has reached a significant size.

Zdash is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
