I compiled and run Zcash on Linux perfectly fine but I’d like to run a windows client with a pool, so I need to generate an address on my linux machine with:
./src/zcash-cli getnewaddress
What I don’t understand is why there is no private key generated ? How can I access my wallet with just the public address. Sorry my question is probably stupid, hope someone will help me.
Thanks 
I mean, I know coins will be sent from the pool to the address I set.
But after generating addresses, zcash still display:
./src/zcash-cli z_listaddresses

I guess as long as I backup I’m fine, just wanted to know about the private key
Did you generate a z address or a t address? I don’t think you can list t-addresses that don’t have a balance.
that’s really nice someone actually took the time to answer me, so thank you.
I generated a t-address, but you probably right we can’t list t-addresses that don’t have a balance.
Anyway I ended up generating a wallet with this tool:
honestly this passphrase / private key still confuse me compared to bitcoin.
