## Ask somebody for their HushChat z-address (z-addr) |
|
|
|
## Initial Setup |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They click the button that says "zs1" and it will copy it to their clipboard. Give every contact a different z-addr! |
|
|
|
In our example we use HushChat user Alice and HushChat user Bob that **both have valid positive Hush values in their wallets**. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When you know a HushChat z-addr, send a contact request |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have funds! Send yourself funds 3+ times or with 3+ outputs in one transaction, so you have multiple |

|
|
Tips: |
|
|
|
* Make sure to send yourself funds 3+ times or with 3+ outputs in one transaction, so you have multiple |
|
|
|
"notes" to spend. This means you can send another memo before waiting for a confirmation. If you don't, you will need |
|
|
|
to wait for 1 confirmation every time, before sending. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click the "add contact" button at the top left, and "Send Contact Request" screen will show up. |
|
|
|
* Choose a name |
|
|
|
* Enter zaddr |
|
|
|
* **I cannot stress this enough, but make sure to give every contact a different z-addr (z-address)!** |

|
1. Bob clicks on the "Zs1" button in his HushChat tab. The result is that the wallet creates a new z-addr and copies it into his clipboard. We'll call this Bob's HushChat z-addr. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Bob shares his newly created HushChat z-addr with Alice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Alice receives Bob's HushChat z-addr. |

|
##### Alice adds Bob as HushChat contact |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Alice clicks on the "add contact" button in her HushChat tab, which is to the left of "Zs1". The result is the "Send Contact Request" screen appears with a new z-addr, which we'll call this Alice's HushChat z-addr. This screen appears as: |

|
|
|

|
|
|

It may take a few minutes. This process became twice as fast as of November 2020 at Block 340,000, when our block time |
|
|
|
decreased to 75 seconds. |
