I’m not aware of any mobile wallets that will have Z-addresses which also give the user the private key. Are there any planned once ZCash makes it through the updates this year?
I am aware a Guarda, Freewallet and Cryptonator, but not of which right now have Z-addresses, and only Guarda gives the user the private key.
Z addresses are not practical until the updates on mobile wallets unfortunately, requires to much memory is my understanding, but that should be brought down to ~1.7Gb I believe soon…then it will be practical to do. Short answer…it is coming.
All I have ever heard is why they don’t exist “right now”. Once it becomes truly doable I’m sure one or all of the new wallets will start supporting it.
The upgrades planned to come later this year - and they had better come on time since it was used a reason to delay any action on ASICs - should make Z => Z transactions via mobile phones become a reality.
I like the idea of having my own key and Z address safely in my pocket (backed up, of course)
Unless Zcash is to remain a testbed for tech exported to other chains, usability needs to be prioritized. Hopefully the Sapling upgrade makes it possible to build UX-focused mobile wallets that don’t compromise on security.
