Conveniently, it's impossible to audit whether more coins are being minted right now to add to the developer tax already imposed on block rewards.

Don't think I misrepresented trusted setup--only warning others about the reputation of Zcash. Anonymity for some can be a critical issue, so I don't think everyone can afford to wait for "proof of backdoor" before making their decision.

Deanonymizing zcash's shielded transactions requires breaking the preimage resistance of sha256.
