Inserts some notes related to testnet deployment Should satisfy #959 for now. I don't want to get too detailed here, since the infrastructure automation is in a still non-public repository, but instead supply a basic overview. We can write more detailed documentation and attach it to that repo.
Zcash
Where do I begin?
We have a guide for joining the public testnet: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Beta-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.
Participation in the Zcash project is subject to a Code of Conduct.
