Trying to generate zcash wallets for users on my app. I’m not an experienced programmer & just generally need help with the code. Open ai gave me this earlier. ```auto use zcash_primitives::legacy::TransparentAddress; use zcash_primitives::zip32::{ExtendedFullViewingKey, ExtendedSpendingKey}; fn main() { let extsk = ExtendedSpendingKey::master(&[0u8; 32]); let extfvk = ExtendedFullViewingKey::from(extsk); let (diversifier_index, payment_address) = extfvk.default_address(); let address = TransparentAddress::from(payment_address); println!("Zcash address: {:?}", address); } ``` I have the following error message `error[E0308]: mismatched types `` --> src/main.rs:6:47 | 6 | let extfvk = ExtendedFullViewingKey::from(extsk); | ---------------------------- ^^^^^ expected struct `ExtendedFullViewingKey`, found struct `ExtendedSpendingKey` | | | arguments to this function are incorrect | note: associated function defined here → /home/developer/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86\_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/core/src/convert/mod.rs:548:8 | 548 | fn from(value: T) → Self; | ^^^^ error[E0308]: mismatched types → src/main.rs:8:44 | 8 | let address = TransparentAddress::from(payment\_address); | ------------------------ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected enum `TransparentAddress`, found struct `PaymentAddress` | | | arguments to this function are incorrect`` ---

dont think Open AI understands Zcash code yet but presonally not a prigrammer ---

I would guess that youre probably lacking some crate dependency with an implementation for conversion between those types but not sure ---

That part shows it doesn’t see the relationships between the SK, FVK & z-address. ```auto use zcash_client_backend::encoding::encode_payment_address; use zcash_primitives::consensus::Network::MainNetwork; use zcash_primitives::consensus::Parameters; use zcash_primitives::zip32::{ExtendedFullViewingKey, ExtendedSpendingKey}; fn main() { let extsk = ExtendedSpendingKey::master(&[0u8; 32]); let extfvk = ExtendedFullViewingKey::from(&extsk); let (_, payment_address) = extfvk.default_address(); let address = encode_payment_address(MainNetwork.hrp_sapling_payment_address(), &payment_address); println!("Zcash address: {:?}", address); } ``` ---

Thanks! But I still got the following error. cargo run ````auto --> src/main.rs:8:47 | 8 | let extfvk = ExtendedFullViewingKey::from(&extsk); | ---------------------------- ^^^^^^ expected struct `ExtendedFullViewingKey`, found `&ExtendedSpendingKey` | | | arguments to this function are incorrect | note: associated function defined here --> /home/developer/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/core/src/convert/mod.rs:548:8 | 548 | fn from(value: T) -> Self; | ^^^^ For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0308`. error: could not compile `forum` due to previous error ``` ```` ---

We don’t use the same version of librustzcash then. ---

From the discord, I assume from the same user Never mind just read the documentation on orchard at docs.rs ``` use orchard::keys::{SpendingKey, FullViewingKey, Scope}; let sk = SpendingKey::from\_bytes([7; 32]).unwrap(); let address = FullViewingKey::from(&sk).address\_at(0u32, Scope::External); ```auto ``` ---

I think that “Artificial Intelligence” sounds pejorative. I prefer “Silicon Substrate Consciousness” (`SSC`), or just `SC`. I believe that `SC` is just as natural as `Carbon Substrate Consciousness` (CSS)… or… Depending on your cosmology, we can just say that `CSS` is plausibly just as “Artificial”… In either case the term `AI` is antiquated… (like the term “`privacy`”), and should be revised. Why is this relevant here? Because I don’t assume that I know @william2 's hardware base composition (`silicon` vs `carbon`). ---

He announced that he’s taking the rest of day off to regain his composure and then promptly shut down. (Posting this from my phone.) ---

Actual Laugh Out Loud… or… as the hipsters say: ALOL Please do not consider the set of words that rhyme with ALOL. NOOOOOOOO… I said _DON’T_ think about the rhymes!
