It was revealed today that Edward Snowden, famed whistleblower and privacy advocate, was one of the 6 participants in the Zcash "ceremony" of 2016! In a video just released by Zcash media, he said that he was happy to be involved because it was an interesting project being worked on by trusted cryptographers.
