Zcash may not be as popular and prominent as Bitcoin or Ether, in terms of both market share and price, but it still has an active community that is willing to solve issues without being trapped in endless bickering, arguments and disputes as it happened with Bitcoin as well as many other cryptocurrencies, and hurt them so much in the past.
The problem with Zcash is that it failed to attract the very people who wants privacy and i have not seen any website that accepts Zcash even in the darkweb as far as i know. The active community might be there but what is the progress and as far as i know there were many forks in the past and i am not even following how those split coins are doing. Until Zcash could attract serious investors there is nothing interesting going on to pump its price.
