Zenith is a command-line interface for the Zcash Full Node (`zcashd`). It has the following features:
- Listing transparent and shielded addresses and balances known to the node, including viewing-only.
- Listing transactions for specific addresses, decoding memos for easy reading.
- Copying addresses to the clipboard.
- Creating new Unified Addresses.
- Sending transactions with shielded memo support.
Note: Zenith depends on a patched version of the `haskoin-core` Haskell package included in this repo. A pull request to the maintainers of `haskoin-core` has been submitted, if/when it is merged, Zenith will be updated to use the standard package.
- [Zcash Full Node v.5.0.0](https://zcash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rtd_pages/zcashd.html#install)
-`xclip`
-`libsecp256k1-dev`
-`libxss-dev`
- Install using `stack`:
```
stack install
```
## Configuration
- Copy the sample `zenith.cfg` file to a location of your choice and update the values of the user and password for the `zcashd` node. These values can be found in the `zcash.conf` file for the Zcash node.
## Usage
From the location where the configured `zenith.cfg` file is placed, use `zenith` to start.
Zenith will attempt to connect to the node and check compatibility. Connections to `zcashd` versions less than 5.0.0 will fail.
### Available commands
-`?`: Lists available commands.
-`list`: Lists all transparent and shielded addresses and their balance.
- Notes about balances:
- Addresses from an imported viewing key will list a balance but it may be inaccurate, as viewing keys cannot see ZEC spent out of that address.
- Balances for Unified Addresses *belonging to the same account* are shared. Zenith will list the full account balances for each of the UAs in the account.
-`txs <id>`: Lists all transactions belonging to the address corresponding to the `id` given, in chronological order.
-`copy`: Copies the selected address to the clipboard.
-`new`: Prompts the user for the option to include a transparent receiver, a Sapling receiver or both. An Orchard receiver is always included.
-`send`: Prompts the user to prepare an outgoing transaction, selecting the source address, validating the destination address, the amount and the memo.
- If the source is a transparent address, the privacy policy is set to `AllowRevealedSenders`, favoring the shielding of funds when sent to a UA.
- If the source is a shielded address, the privacy policy is set to `AllowRevealedAmounts`, favoring the move of funds from legacy shielded pools to Orchard.
-`uri`: Prompts the user to select the source account and to enter a [ZIP-321](https://zips.z.cash/zip-0321) compliant URI to generate and send a transaction.
