Officialness is determined by a regular expression. ;-) This is handy because we often want upstream Bitcoin tags for local diffs, but sometimes we accidentally upload them to github which then claims they are our releases, which is confusing and misleading.

Where do I begin?
We have a guide for joining the public testnet: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Public-Alpha-Guide
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy and anonymity through a sophisticiated zero-knowledge proving scheme which preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.
Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
