Hi, I have a software wallet on my linux machnine. I had mined some ZEC with my 1060 which I would like to send to my Kraken account. I used that command for that: export TADDR=‘t1PfKXcSA6iEKgJyPF7prkbeKyoksPaZK7s’ export DEPO=‘t1gpkTghbwvsYNxoDi7yZ4jjBywt7y9gH1A’ zcash-cli z\_sendmany “$TADDR” “[{"address": "$DEPO", "amount": 0.01}]” I can see that 0.01 ZEC arrived to my Kraken account but my balance get lowered by 0.02 ZEC! Here are the logs: async rpc opid-02995e6b-f586-4957-a24c-811ff99a01be finished (status=success, tx=CTransaction(hash=90c94964db, ver=1, vin.size=2, v CTxIn(COutPoint(7487714e3b, 89), scriptSig=) CTxIn(COutPoint(ae88feba08, 111), scriptSig=) CTxOut(nValue=0.01000000, scriptPubKey=OP\_DUP OP\_HASH160 fbc0b3d32227) CTxOut(nValue=0.00990000, scriptPubKey=OP\_DUP OP\_HASH160 afc1551eaf52) I tried it again with the same result. If I check it on the explorer website: [https://explorer.zcha.in/accounts/t1PfKXcSA6iEKgJyPF7prkbeKyoksPaZK7s](https://explorer.zcha.in/accounts/t1PfKXcSA6iEKgJyPF7prkbeKyoksPaZK7s) I see that I send 0.04 ZEC instead of 0.02. Why? Thanks. ---

z\_sendmany should be from a shielded address no? from my point of view this shouldn’t work since your trying to send from a transparent address. also sendmany is usually used to send 2 or more transactions. Sending only one transaction I would suggest you “sendfrom” → or “sendtoaddress” → ---

you can use Z\_sendmany for any transaction. and that’s the preferred method for me. It looks to me that you sent .01 and paid the .0001 fee and .0099 was returned to a change address. ---

You can check the balances of each utxo with listunspent. ---

Thanks. What is the “change address”? Is it possible to send coin from that address also? ---

Yes. They are your addresses too. You should be able to see that your wallet balance has not decreased. ---

Hello, I am trying to send zec using > zcash-cli sendtoaddress but by default is a zero balanced account. How could I change the default account? ---
