zcash-qt-wallet is a z-Addr first wallet UI frontend for zcashd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
zcash-qt-wallet needs a zcash node running zcashd. Download the zcash node software from https://z.cash/download/ and start zcashd.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites: zcashd
|
|
zcashd needs to run with RPC enabled and with a RPC username/password set. Add the following entries into ~/.zcash/zcash.conf
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rpcuser=username
|
|
rpcpassword=password
|
|
```
|
|
and restart zcashd
|
|
|
|
## Installing zcash-qt-wallet
|
|
Head over to the releases page and grab the latest binary. https://github.com/adityapk00/zcash-qt-wallet/releases
|
|
|
|
Extract and run the binary
|
|
```
|
|
tar -xvf zcash-qt-wallet-v0.1.6.tar.gz
|
|
./zcash-qt-wallet-v0.1.6/zcash-qt-wallet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compiling from source
|
|
zcash-qt-wallet depends on QT5, which you can get from here: https://www.qt.io/download
|
|
|
|
### Compiling on Linux
|
|
You need a C++14 compatible compiler like g++ or clang++
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/adityapk00/zcash-qt-wallet.git
|
|
cd zcash-qt-wallet
|
|
/path/to/qt5/bin/qmake zcash-qt-wallet.pro CONFIG+=DEBUG
|
|
make -j$(nproc)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting FAQ
|
|
### 1. "Connection Error"
|
|
|
|
Normally, zcash-qt-wallet can pick up the rpcuser/rpcpassword from zcash.conf. If it doesn't for some reason, you can set the username/password in the File->Settings menu.
|
|
If you are connecting to a remote node, make sure that zcashd on the remote machine is accepting connections from your machine. The target machine's firewall needs to allow connections
|
|
from your host and also zcashd is set to be configured to accept connections from this host.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to connect to a remote node is probably to ssh to it with port forwarding like this:
|
|
```
|
|
ssh -L8232:127.0.0.1:8232 user@remotehost
|
|
```
|
|
### 2. "Not enough balance" when sending transactions
|
|
The most likely cause for this is that you are trying to spend unconfirmed funds. Unlike bitcoin, the zcash protocol doesn't let you spent unconfirmed funds yet. Please wait for
|
|
1-2 blocks for the funds to confirm and retry the transaction.
|
|
|
|
