Just so that I’m clear on this, the current full node iteration of zcashd 2.1.2 is linux only, and does not have a supported application for windows, is this correct?

Also, the ZEC Wallet full node v0.9.11 referenced above appears to be a third party wallet provider, does ECC review and support this software?

@BroMiner The core “zcashd” fullnode software is published by the ECC, is Linux command line only and has no GUI.

To make Zcash more user friendly, the Zcash Foundation sponsors @adityapk00 the ZecWallet developer to make more user-friendly wallets for Windows, Mac, and Linux. ZecWallet fullnode runs the ECC core zcashd software in the background and adds a user-friendly GUI on top.

There is also ZecWallet lite which uses a remote “lightwalletd” server to avoid having to wait for the entire Blockchain to download and sync. ZecWallet fully syncs in just a few minutes.

(Happy Cake Day by the way 🎂🙂)

I’d stick with the lite wallet right now. The ZecWallet has been buggy for a while requiring re-scanning the chain. And for some reason the option to rescan was removed with the UI update, so you have to launch from cmd to re-scan.

That bug was fixed. If you are on the latest Zecwallet, this is not an issue.

But I do agree that the Lite Wallet is the best solution for the majority of folks who don’t need the extra features that come from using a full node.
