- While all the keys and transaction detection happens on the client, the server can learn what blocks contain your shielded transactions.
- The server also learns other metadata about you like your ip address etc...
- Also remember that t-addresses don't provide any privacy protection.
-
If you want to run your own server, please see SilentDragonLite-cli lightwalletd, and then run
./silentdragonlite-cli --server http://127.0.0.1:9069

silentdragonlite does automatic note and utxo management, which means it doesn't allow you to manually select which address to send outgoing transactions from. It follows these principles:
- Defaults to sending shielded transactions, even if you're sending to a transparent address
- Sapling funds need at least 2 confirmations before they can be spent
- Can select funds from multiple shielded addresses in the same transaction
- Will automatically shield your transparent funds at the first opportunity
- When sending an outgoing transaction to a shielded address, silentdragonlite can decide to use the transaction to additionally shield your transparent funds (i.e., send your transparent funds to your own shielded address in the same transaction)
- Rust v1.37 or higher.
- Run
rustup update
to get the latest version of Rust if you already have it installed
- Run
git clone https://github.com/MyHush/silentdragonlite-cli.git
cargo build --release
./target/release/silentdragonlite-cli
