"@debt_watch @CruiseZodler @jswihart @nate_zec Hm Im trying to figure out my answer to your question. One thing is all ZEC coins came out of the shielded pool at some point in the past. So saying Youre not allowed to accept ZEC coins that were shielded. is really just the same as Youre not allowed to accept ZEC"

"@nikzh @TheDesertLynx If you download a Shielded By Default wallet and put some ZEC into it then youll see that your ZEC is in a far greater anonymity set than is possible with Monero today. By default. https://z.cash/ecosystem/wallets=#tag-wallets https://z.cash/ecosystem/wallets=#tag-wallets"
