That's simply not true. I was actually hired as a consultant by Green, and he did hardly anything with that contract. I know of no proposal actually made to any Bitcoin devs for inclusion, and in any case, it took a long time to improve the tech to the point where resource requirements were low enough for either Zerocoin or Zerocash to be viable in any currency.
> I went and dug up where I had read Green talk about this and it turns out it was in a conversation with you.
Ha!
> It seems you and him disagree, he says ZCash couldn't/wouldn't have happened in Bitcoin and you say it could.
Yeah, I'm just surprised he feels so strongly about that, given how little I remember him actually doing along those lines. Like I said, I actually was hired by him on a monthly retainer to do consulting... and he did almost nothing at all with that contract. :(
> Is your blog post about this still coming?
Yes, although holy fuck I have a lot on the todo list. :( I also need to writeup my part of the trusted setup ceremony too.
And a blog post on that isn't paid work, so doesn't get as high priority as paying rent. :)
