Zcash: Integrate production Founders' Reward keys into ChainParams.
The plan is to pay the Founders' reward to a transparent multisig address. The one used on the testnet is just temporary. Because it will receive 10% of the eventual monetary base, the keys for this address need to be particularly securely generated and stored (maybe in hardware wallets?) See also https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/125#issuecomment-196629653 , which suggests paying to different addresses (baked in at the start) in subintervals of the 4-year reward period.

Note that operational security requires that we not go into too much detail on this ticket. However, it is fine to brainstorm ideas here.

Make sure to balance security measures with availability guarantees. Accidentally losing those keys could be worse than them getting stolen.
