Brief Description: Zcash is a Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge proofs for anonymity: https://z.cash

The launch of the actual currency is planned for September 2016 but there's currently a testnet. The Zcash developers would be happy to help with any queries you have about supporting Zcash in OpenBazaar -- please ask on our Slack channel (I know that some OpenBazaar people are already there). You would probably need our high-level payment API which is not implemented yet, but is planned for August.

Operating System (OS and version): all
OpenBazaar version (shown on About OpenBazaar page in menu): future
Hardware: all

Hmm. Perhaps this should have gone in the server repo. I guess it affects both the client and server. Feel free to move it if it should go elsewhere.

OpenBazaar's moderator functionality requires multisig, which isn't directly supported by Zcash for anonymous transactions, but there are workarounds: zcash/zcash#782
