Privacy

• 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...

Notes:

• The wallet connects to https://lightd.pirate.black:443 by default. To connect to your own lightd server, please pass --server https://your_server.com:443

• If you want to run your own server, please see pirate lightwalletd, and then run ./arrrwallet-cli --server http://127.0.0.1:9068. You might also need to pass --dangerous if you are using a self-signed TLS certificate.

• The log file is in ~/.pirate/debug-arrrwallet-light-wallet.log. Wallet is stored in ~/.pirate/arrrwallet-light-wallet.dat

Note Management

arrrwallet-cli 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:

• Sapling funds need at least 5 confirmations before they can be spent
• Can select funds from multiple shielded addresses in the same transaction
