Call to Miners to Support Privacy Coin - Bitcoin Private (BTCP)
BTCP is a Merge Fork of Bitcoin(BTC) and ZClassic(ZCL). It promises all the benefits of BTC (Lightning, Atomic Swaps) and ZCash (ZK Snarks, Sprout & Sapling Updates) Meaning it would be the only coin with ZK Snark Enabled Lightning Network, with added benefits of reduced proving time & memory usage.
ZK Snarks are an important aspect of the BTCP Privacy Protocol because in basic terms you can prove the transaction to be true and sound without divulging transaction information such as amounts or addresses. Because of this, any onlooker cannot determine if a transaction is a legitimate transaction or simply noise in the network.
ZK Snarks are a truly revolutionary technology and the Bitcoin Private team has managed to sew this technology directly into your favorite coin, Bitcoin! In Feburary, everyone who holds Bitcoin or ZClassic were given BTCP at an equal ratio.

I mentioned that this coin would have Sapling and Sprout updates from the ZEC team but also incorporate groundbreaking technologies from BTC. But its going to do this with only a 2.5 minute block time AND a 2mb block.
This means there will be plenty of space and scalability capabilities in this highly private coin.
