For some reason I have never liked ZEC it just looks as a worse monero to me. The shielded adresses are good but who uses them ? You can't use it on pools, exchanges don't use it either for performance issues so whats the point ? Monero has more or less all that built-in directly and by default. Don't get me wrong I like the underlying scientific work they are doing with this coin. Also I was looking for a windows wallet and couldnt find one which is weird ! Even pascal coin has one.
Now I understand the coin is hot AF atm but I highly doubt it will hold its value mid term. Also why constructor would support a particular coin rather than another ? There's no doubt hardware manufacturer are watching the altcoin mining closely but why ZEC in particular ?
It was designed to start without a lot of pre-mining so the actual coins available are small about 900,000
with a cap of about 70,000,000 it does not need much cash into it to prop prices.
