Want to be notified of new releases in ZcashFoundation/zecwallet?
ZecWallet is a z-Addr first, Sapling compatible wallet and full node for zcashd that runs on Linux, Windows and macOS.
If you are on Debian/Ubuntu, please download the .deb package and install it.
Download and run the .msi installer and follow the prompts. Alternately, you can download the release binary, unzip it and double click on zecwallet.exe to start.
Double-click on the .dmg file to open it, and drag zecwallet on to the Applications link to install.
ZecWallet needs a Zcash node running zcashd. If you already have a zcashd node running, ZecWallet will connect to it.
If you don't have one, ZecWallet will start its embedded zcashd node.
Additionally, if this is the first time you're running ZecWallet or a zcashd daemon, ZecWallet will download the zcash params (~1.7 GB) and configure zcash.conf for you.
Pass --no-embedded to disable the embedded zcashd and force ZecWallet to connect to an external node.
ZecWallet is written in C++ 14, and can be compiled with g++/clang++/visual c++. It also depends on Qt5, which you can get from here. Note that if you are compiling from source, you won't get the embedded zcashd by default. You can either run an external zcashd, or compile zcashd as well.
You need Visual Studio 2017 (The free C++ Community Edition works just fine).
Please read the troubleshooting guide for common problems and solutions. For support or other questions, tweet at @zecwallet or file an issue.
PS: ZecWallet is NOT an official wallet, and is not affiliated with the Electric Coin Company in any way.
