$ZEC is worth $1,200 today. One day, $ZEC will be worth $10,000 Most people will ignore it at these prices. Only believers will take advantage. If you cannot HODL, you will not be rich.

I'm not a "crypto account", I'm not on "CT" I am a Zcash poster, that's it. You will never catch me posting about another coin, except to discuss why it's inferior to Zcash Fade "crypto people" Long people who believe in something.

if you’re new to Zcash, first you need to choose a wallet that you're comfy with. but to set up a Zcash wallet, you need to understand ZEC addresses. so, what the addresses mean? it's simple: if it starts with t, it’s public. if it starts with z, it’s an older shielded address. if it starts with u1, it’s a unified address - that’s the modern one. (it can receive privately.) day one rule: don’t leave a bag sitting on a t-address and call it private, it isn’t. so now we can talk about wallets 👇 - zodl (cc @zodl_app) this is the one most new people should open first. it’s a phone wallet, used to be called zashi. shielded by default - it supports ironwood, the current private pool. you can vote on nu7 from the app. it also talks to a keystone if you add one later. you don’t start here because it’s “official” - you start here because it’s the least confusing way to use zec as private money. - vizor (cc @vizorwallet) built by the keplr team, shielded by default, ironwood, keystone signing, nu7 vote in the app. it feels like a real wallet, not a mobile feed, if you live on a mac and you want zec private without touching a phone, this is the one. less noise on the timeline, more of the actual product. - cake wallet (cc @cakewallet) use this if you already keep bitcoin or monero in one app and you don’t want a 2nd wallet just for ZEC. cake can shield ZEC - when ironwood went live, it moved funds for you if you left the app open and synced. good daily driver - not the most zec-native tool, but it works. - keystone (cc @KeystoneWallet) this is not an app - it’s a hardware device, like Ledger and Trezor. people mention it because it’s one of the few hardware setups that can keep shielded ZEC offline. you still need a software wallet on top: zodl, vizor or noir. the device signs, the app talks to the network. (important: it has to be the cypherpunk firmware, recent enough for ironwood. the normal multi-coin firmware is not the same product. buy the wrong edition and you don’t get the private side.) - noir (cc @noir_wallet) browser extension plus desktop. this one is for people who want ZEC inside defi: swaps, lending, the newer zsa - keys stay on your device. it can also pair with keystone. don’t make this your 1st wallet, make it your 2nd if you outgrow “send&receive”. - zkool (X acc not found) this is the power-user wallet. (it replaced ywallet) more accounts, more pool controls, more ways to import old keys - it also supports the nu7 vote. if you want ledger shielded, this is one of the paths. (ledger’s own app is transparent-only) shielded on ledger needs the extra zcash shielded app plus a wallet like zkool, not every ledger model can do that. PLEASE! NEVER SKIP THESE RULES: #1 write the seed on paper (not a screenshot). #2 receive on a unified / shielded address. #3 if the amount starts to matter, add a keystone (cypherpunk firmware). #4 only download wallets from official links. #5 never share your seed phrase: it's like your password. if you came to zcash for privacy, the wallet is the product - pick one that can actually do shielded, then leave it alone.
