What is Zcash?
--------------
[Zcash](https://z.cash/) is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol.
Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy
-and anonymity through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that
-preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are
-available in our [Protocol Specification](https://github.com/zcash/zips/raw/master/protocol/protocol.pdf).

This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history
of Zcash 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.
