Is this 1.5.2?
I can answer my own question. Yes, it is 1.5.2 full change log here, version commit about 12 hours is up on the Play and apple Store, looks very nice.

Thank you Hanh. The new UI is a great improvement.

Question 1. Is there any way to speed up sync on device faster than Warp Sync 1 (not considering offloading to a server)?
Question 2. Do you plan to implement Warp Sync 2 into Ywallet?

I’ve noticed some of the in-wallet transactions have an interesting address format(?). I assume it’s a diversified address, but it doesn’t follow the
Normal address format I suppose?

Diversified addresses follow the same format…

This is the trailing part of the address. It’s not printed in full in the list because the address is too long.

If you click on a transaction, it will be shown in the details.

PS: We don’t print the leading part, because it can easily be manipulated.

Maybe prefix with the address type, then the trailing part ? zs1…2633jfhfjf

Is there a way to generate a new T address in ywallet 1.5.6? I can’t seem to find that

You can generate T-addrs with the Key Tool, but the wallet does not scan them, so funds will not be detected there.

So how do you get the funds to show up?

You sweep them into the shielded addresses

Hello guys,

I have an uncompressed WIF private key for Zcash, but I don’t know how to restore or sweep my funds. Ywallet seems not to support the uncompressed lagacy private key.

Please help me!
Thanks

They can be swept, can’t they?

@hanh When I tried it with my uncompressed key, it said ‘Invalid Key’, and the compressed key I used for testing worked fine.

AFAIK, zcash only uses compressed pkh addresses. Where did you get that key from?
