Talk:Zcash Electric Coin Company

Electric Coin Company should have its own page?
I think Electric Coin Company should have its own page. Or, Zcash, Zcash Foundation and Electric Coin Company should be clearly discussed as distinct entities.

Zcash Foundation and Electric Coin Company (ECC) are two distinct entities. Zcash Foundation and Electric Coin Company are not the same company or different sides of the same coin. Zcash Foundation is a non-profit, while ECC is a for-profit business. In fact, they were in a small trademark dispute that spilled over into public because one of them holds the Zcash logo, and would not sign an agreement to let the other use it. Also see these blog posts from the ZCash Foundation:

To summarize, there are three things going on here:


 * Zcash, the cryptocurrency
 * Zcash Foundation, the non-profit
 * Electric Coin Company, the business
