Zcash4win BETA is out!

that first-run batch file is what the gui runs when you first launch it, it makes the config file and setups up the directories it needs

This is what Im getting:

PS C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app> cd “c:\Program Files\zcash4win\app”

.\first-run.bat
.\zcashd.exe

C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app>rem this script MUST be run before launching zcashd for the first time

Chudyk\AppData\Roaming\Zcash\zcash.conf was unexpected at this time.
Before starting zcashd, you need to create a configuration file:
C:\Users\Jeffrey Chudyk\AppData\Roaming\Zcash\zcash.conf
It can be completely empty! That indicates you are happy with the default
configuration of zcashd. But requiring a configuration file to start ensures
that zcashd won’t accidentally compromise your privacy if there was a default
option you needed to change.

You can look at the example configuration file for suggestions of default
options that you may want to change. It should be in one of these locations,
depending on how you installed Zcash:

  • Source code: contrib/DEBIAN/examples/zcash.conf
  • .deb package: /usr/share/doc/zcash/examples/zcash.conf
    PS C:\Program Files\zcash4win\app>

at this point I hate to suggest the “windows solution”, but maybe un-install, reboot reinstall, and try running the GUI

You are currently not mining.
To enable mining, add ‘gen=1’ to your zcash.conf and restart.

Since starting this node 54 seconds ago:

  • You have validated no transactions.

Its gonna take quite a while to sync the blockchain, the current block height is 60356, but the GUI should launch now…but you won’t be able to send/receive any transactions until its sync’d to 100%

awesome, after it catches up to 100% synced you should just be able to launch the GUI from now on

the gui opened and seems to be downloading the blockchain…47.02mb so far.

thank you! donation address is pre-loaded in the addressbook under extras :slight_smile:

they were locked…not possible to spend them directly from your Nano S for technical reasons.
You’ll have to export your private keys and use a software based Zcash wallet (capable of computing ZKP).

Thats what I am told…need to figure that out.

hm I haven’t messed with a nano S, the Import Private key function in the GUI should be able to pull them in when you figure out how to export from the nano

I hope so…thanks…
