And which addresses can I use, T or Z?
I used to read that using Z-addresses can cause problems.

Don't use Z addresses until and unless you really want to keep your balance private. Z-addresses are fairly difficult to handle.

Does ZCASH have better anonymity than Monero? Can I keep ZCASH on hardware wallets, like Trezor or Ledger?

ZCash has the functionalities of both, transparent and private addresses. The transparent addresses work publicly, while the private addresses work as good as Monero.

Yes I store ZEC on Ledger Nano S device.

The fact ZEC can be transparent or not, is a good signal for any future regulation.

Therein lies the problem, having both T and Z addresses:

(a) complex and error-prone
(b) kills privacy because people don't use stealth addresses

Not only that, these jokers forced you to move all your coins to T for sapling...
Long story short... ZEC has zero privacy = chainanalysis will expose everything...
ycash does not address any of this... sell into pump.

I am sure that in the future it will be free from all that will be a very great altcoin, currently there are not many coins like ZEC and this will be more solid for a long time.

Completely agree with you. ZEC coin is going to have a great future and its coming very soon. Those people who does not invest now, losing opportunity to make a solid profit!

...still waiting 0.0135 BTC to get out break even and never come back again.

ZEC is probably the worst designed coin I've ever seen...
Even with a 20% tax they didn't have a proper client until recently...
Even a simple tx creates change accounts so you end up with a mess of dust...
It so much suck that my losses are very limited due to the massive sucking 

ZEC is gonna get wiped out by dead simple 100% shielded coins like ARRR...
Or when zk-snarks gets rolled out on top of ETH and other platforms.

We are in a good trend Mate 📈.  The break shall be taken within a week! "my feel"

[farsky]

Does anyone use zecpaperwallet v0.3 for generate zcash shielded addresses offline ?
I think this is a handy thing))

Zcash was designed to automatically siphon off a portion of miners’ profits for creators, including ECC CEO Zooko Wilcox. So far, this funding has been donated to create the independent Zcash Foundation, and support ECC contributions to protocol development, marketing campaigns, exchange listings and corporate partnerships.

Down 25-30% versus BTC in 2 weeks since the Pump...
Devs have already drained $300-400 million and will draining this bitch to zero..
zk algos are ubiquitous on multiple platforms today (see something like self-replicating zk VMs with REN) 

[Texacha]

Yup!
One of my worst investments and definitely worst in 2019
It's so poor satoshi-wise that if BTC goes to 20k usd, Zec will still be 100 usd (0.005 BTC). And I am not joking at all.

Privacy Cryptocurrency Zcash Prepares for "Friendly" Fork



https://www.coindesk.com/privacy-coin-zcash-will-soon-undergo-its-first-friendly-fork-meet-ycash?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=coindesk&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Organic%20

In about five hours, the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency Zcash will spawn a new blockchain network called Ycash.

It’ll be the first of its kind to boast a near-identical codebase to the Zcash blockchain but function as a separate network and de facto competitor.

First announced in April, the effort is spearheaded by long-time Zcash supporter Howard Loo. Loo described in a Zcash forum post that Ycash was a preemptive move to resist future community decisions that may extend Zcash’s system of developer funding known as the “Founder’s Reward” beyond a promised 10 percent cap of total token supply.

Not sure about others, but I laugh every time when reading "Friendly fork"  
Zooko trying to pump the price of ZEC, but life is haaaard...
