Zcash Sapling Paper Wallet Generator |
zecpaperwallet is a Zcash Sapling paper wallet generator that can run completely offline. You can run it on an air-gapped computer to generate your shielded z-addresses, which will allow you to keep your keys completely offline. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
# Compiling |
||||
|
zecpaperwallet-cli is built with rust. To compile from source, you [install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). Basically, you need to: |
||||
|
``` |
||||
|
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh |
||||
|
``` |
||||
|
Chekout the zecpaperwallet repository and build the CLI |
||||
|
``` |
||||
|
git clone https://github.com/adityapk00/zecpaperwallet.git |
||||
|
cd zecpaperwallet/cli |
||||
|
cargo build --release |
||||
|
``` |
||||
|
# Generating wallets |
||||
|
To generate a zcash paper wallet, simply run |
||||
|
`./target/release/zecpaperwallet` |
||||
|
|
||||
|
You'll be asked to type some random characters that will add entropy to the random number generator. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Saving as PDFs |
||||
|
To generate a zcash paper wallet and save it as a PDF, run |
||||
|
`./target/release/zecpaperwallet -z 3 --format pdf zecpaper-output.pdf` |
||||
|
|
||||
|
This will generate 3 shielded z-addresses and their corresponding private keys, and save them in a PDF file called `zecpaper-output.pdf` |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Run without network |
||||
|
If you are running a newish version of Linux, you can be doubly sure that the process is not contacting the network by running zecpaperwallet without the network namespace. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
``` |
||||
|
sudo unshare -n ./target/release/zecpaperwallet |
||||
|
``` |
||||
|
`unshare -n` runs the process without a network interface which means you can be sure that your data is not being sent across the network. |
||||
