A bug surfaced in Zcash's Orchard pool, and the Ethereum community discussed how hard bugs are to detect in privacy systems; ameensol suggested users exit the Orchard pool to test whether it was exploited. lightclient noted that EIP-8037 is scheduled for Glamsterdam and will raise the gas cost of creating accounts and writing new storage slots by 5 to 8x, and asked which protocols might be affected. EIP-8130 got a finalize pass and fixes. ERC-8290 proposes moving shielded notes directly between UTXO privacy protocols.

Eli Ben-Sasson: if a hacker used the exploit we will likely know within days, as they rush to the turnstile to unshield

Ameensol: zcashers should encourage everyone to exit the Orchard pool, 07:27; right now there is no way to know whether the exploit was used other than a mass exit to see whether the last ones out get stuck (the turnstile enforces out = in). Eli Ben-Sasson: if a hacker used the exploit we will likely know within days, as they rush to the turnstile to unshield, 14:51.
