Please note that we have seen a 5x increase in the amount of bots/scammers creating accounts here since many users are having wallet issues due to the NU6 update. We are temporarily implementing stricter keyword screening with manual approval for all posts, so I apologize if some regular posts get caught in the mix. I and the other Mods will be carefully watching for system flags to clear or ban posts/new users if they get stuck. * * * **Note to new users:** Feel free to ask a question or advice, but **many of the wallets are not operational due to the wallet developers themselves not updating their software**. Be sure to check if you have the latest version of your wallet software. **There is no official Zcash support team** **There is no official Zcash support telegram** **There is no Zcash support website** **There is no help ticket system** **Do not respond to anyone sending you a PM offering to help** **Do not click on links from users you do not know.** **Do not share your seed phrase with anyone** * * * Please flag anything suspicious, thank you for your patience while we work through this time. 🙏🏻 ---

PSA Update: Recently bots / scammers have been attempting to link to APK sites on the forum, likely to apps that appear"Zcash related" but are loaded with malware. Beware any suspicious links, if you see one that gets through please flag it. Always ensure apps are from thier legit creators. Also (if you haven’t already) on Android be sure to disable any app installs from “unknown sources”.
