Violet just got me set up with my first Zcash wallet

Selfie with Violet after she helped me set up Zashi wallet (Violet)

I met Violet, a self-described sex worker who helps other sex workers get set up to get paid in cryptocurrencies, at the Adopticon event at Hilton Garden Inn Denver Union Station.

She asked me if I had ever set up a wallet to use Zcash and I said no.

After about two minutes I had one.

She took a photo of my receive QR code and sent that around to people who she said would send me some ZEC.

As of time of writing (about 30 min after that) I now have 0.001 ZEC. That is worth about a U.S. quarter at the current price.

There is also Zcash condom swag fwiw:
