I write this very surprised, but grateful.
I have met my goal! You have met my goal!
Thank you, THANK YOU!
But before I tell you the details, let me bring those of you who haven't heard about it yet, up to date:
Last April 7 I published my zPage, with a crowdfunding campaign, asking for help in acquiring a new tool for my digital work: a better computer.
To see the details of my campaign, go to this link.
And what has happened as of today, April 13?
That in less than a week I am writing this from my new computer. 😱😱😱
In just 24 hours, 24! The $1500 goal I set for myself was reached thanks to you, the Zcashers who supported me.
These were the details of the donations you made:
As an anecdote I should mention that now that I am very active and aware of everything that happens within the Zcash community, I was reading on Twitter the day after the campaign was launched, and I noticed that some Zcashers were talking about the "Bandit of the 5 ZEC", and I was very amused by the term. 😄
And it turns out that said bandit visited me, not just once, but 2 times! You can see from the screenshots above that there were 2 donations just with that amount.
Thank you, Zcash fairies, bandits of the 5 ZECs!
My excitement was so great when I saw the balance in my wallet the day after I started the campaign, that I ran out with tears in my eyes to tell my wife. We couldn't believe it!
In just 24 hours, thanks to some strangers we had the possibility to buy a new computer to continue our digital work (my wife works with me).
Of course, now she wants to know everything about Zcash, she wants to join the community, she wants to learn and see how Free2z zPages work.
Already with the money in my wallet, the same Monday April 11 we went to buy the new computer, with the following features:
- 9th generation i7 processor
- 16 GB RAM memory
- 1 TB SSD disk
- 27" Samsung curved monitor
- Logitech 720p webcam
- Logitech 2.1 headsets with subwoofer
- Gamer keyboard and mouse
🤩
Thank you, thank you to everyone who made this possible!
Let me introduce you to my new PC, which I christened "The Zcash Girl".
Obviously, with Linux Mint 20.3 installed, updated and fully ready to start generating content.
In the end, not only was it possible for me to get a new computer, but I managed the money in such a way that it was enough to buy a new phone (also a tool for my daily work), a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S.

I want to give a special thanks to:
@yoditarx, who introduced me to this wonderful world of the Zcash project. Without him this would not have happened to me.
@free2z, who always supported me, RTing my zPage.
@zooko, who also RT'd my tweets talking about my campaign.
@zcashesp, who teach and share knowledge in a totally disinterested way.
To the @dcompumeq store, who were with me all day, advising me and putting together "My Zcash Girl".
To everyone who donated, especially the "5x2 ZEC Bandit" (or the 2 bandits).
I am a real testimony that this cryptocurrency thing can change people's lives, change the world as we know it. Wherever I go I will tell people about my experience with Zcash, and from now on I declare myself an enthusiastic believer and convinced of the immense potential of the Zcash proposition and project.
On my website and my personal social networks I will be talking about this dream come true.
Once again, infinite thanks to everyone who made this possible.
