Notes:

• The wallet is currently testnet only
• If you want to run your own server, please see zeclite lightwalletd, and then run ./zeclite-cli --server 127.0.0.1:9067
• Support for reorgs is iffy. It your wallet gets into an inconsistent state, type rescan to reset the wallet.
• The log file is in ~/.zcash/testnet3/zeclite.debug.log

Note Management

Zeclite 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 priciples:

• Defaults to sending shielded transactions, even if you're sending to a transparent address
• Can select funds from multiple shielded addresses in the same transaction
• Will automatically shield your transparent funds at the first oppurtunity
  • When sending an outgoing transaction to a shielded address, Zeclite 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)
