Sorry if this is a very noob question or if it was already answered using terminology I haven’t become acquainted to yet. I’m running the zcash Debian package on Ubuntu have have some funds that were sent to a transparent address. Running zcash-cli z_gettotalbalance confirms the amount. I created a z address and would like to make a z to z transaction but my funds are in my transparent balance (wallet?) and I’d like to transfer those funds to my z balance so I can transfer ZEC to another person’s z address. How do I do that?
You can use
./src/zcash-cli z_sendmany "taddress16ahsg2435" "[{\"amount\": 0.8, \"address\": \"zaddress1235gshs3456\"}]"
Just be sure to change the two addresses and the amount in that command line.
If you’re not sure which transparent address has your funds you can use listreceivedbyaddress
