Snowden praised ZEC\u2019s private ledger, which fosters free trade through private transactions. According to him, it is impossible to have a free society without free trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delighted in the milestones that Zcash has achieved thus far, Snowden said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>I\u2019m just really happy to see that the Zcash project, which I\u2019ve never really worked intimately with, has managed to keep moving beyond the initial steps to keep improving and sort of move us closer and closer towards that ideal of a free currency which is also a private currency.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>Events that led Snowden to admit his participation in ZEC<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detailing what led Snowden to reveal his role in ZEC\u2019s creation, the video featured Sean Bowe, an Engineer at Electric Coin Company, the firm behind ZEC. In his segment, Bowe talked about how he came up way to bypass the Trusted Setup system, which made holding ceremonies irrelevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Trusted Setups being a thing of the past, Zooko Wilcox, the CEO of Electric Coin Company, sent Snowden a note asking him to agree to disclose his real identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, Snowden agreed on the terms that Wilcox makes it clear he only participated out of public interest and that he neither got paid nor received a stake in the Zcash project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">News of Snowden\u2019s contribution to the Zcash project has had little impact on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/zcash\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ZEC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
