Privacy

• While all the keys and transaction detection happens on the client, the server can learn what blocks contain your shielded transactions.
• The server also learns other metadata about you like your ip address etc...
• Also remember that t-addresses don't provide any privacy protection.

Note Management

Zecwallet-Lite does automatic note and utxo management, which means it doesn't allow you to manually select which address to send outgoing transactions from. It follows these principles:

• Defaults to sending shielded transactions, even if you're sending to a transparent address
• Sapling funds need at least 5 confirmations before they can be spent
• Can select funds from multiple shielded addresses in the same transaction
• Will automatically shield your transparent funds at the first opportunity
  • When sending an outgoing transaction to a shielded address, Zecwallet-Lite can decide to use the transaction to additionally shield your transparent funds (i.e., send your transparent funds to your own shielded address in the same transaction)

Compiling from source

• ZecWallet is written in C++ 14, and can be compiled with g++/clang++/visual c++.
• It also depends on Qt5, which you can get from here.
• You'll need Rust v1.37 +
