you can VERY CAREFULLY manually edit the csv file by hand while zcash4win is stopped. it is at:
%LocalAppData%\ZCashSwingWalletUI\addressBook.csv
Back it up before editing it by hand! 
@anon47418038 Hi David!
Pls help. I tried everything in the topic but it doesnt work.
The same problem on both pc
ohhhh that is an issue that people have been having with zcashcoās download url for the proving key
if it still is doing that later today (they have been made aware of it), you can manually download it but thatā¦is bothersome
if you go that route, download https://zcash.dl.mercerweiss.com/sprout-proving.key into %AppData%\ZcashParams\
Hi Davidā¦ radix42 Is this compiled for win 32 or 64bit? Not sure if I set it up wrong, but it says,ā¦ C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe which is 32bit. Just not sure if it matters if I run it from the 64bit directory or the window 32.
Great work btw!

its 64 bit only but there is windows stuff in system32 that is used no matter what flavor of things is going on
Hi there! Iāve got a problem that my Zcash4win isnāt loading. It only says Deamon is taking longer then normal. I already tried to delete the folders in %appdata% except the wallet.dat. Same trick and new install. But no luck so far. Any one an idea?
can you post the last 100 or so lines of %AppData%\Zcash\debug.log please?
Thanks!
The details are in the images. Received error. Reading forum to try to fix thisā¦ Tried the command in powershell: āc:\Program Files\zcash4win\app\zcashd.exeā -daemon=0 -showmetrics=1
I uninstalled and reinstalled fresh app and this error still occurs. Not sure where to go from here?
try running it as above in powershell, as two separate commands
That worked. Thanks!
Meanwhile, one may create a junction in the command line:
- Copy-paste the folder you want to move from drive C, i.e. heavyweight blockchain db, to the destination folder Zcash, say, on drive F
- Backup Your wallet, conf & Zcash.Params files
- Delete the source folder with all the content
- Launch the command line as an Administrator
- Type in the command line: mklink/j C:/Users/your username/AppData/Roaming/Zcash F:/Zcash
- Press Enter.
Now Zcash4win will believe the blockchain is where is meant to be on the drive C, while it isnāt.

omg ty i had not been able to cook up the right command to make the link
how do i pin this, Iām an admin here, is there a button for that omg
this is like the #1 user request, āblockchain not on C driveā
and getting the freaking installer builder and everything to do that isā¦not being easy
and requires lots of plumbing changes in zcash4win
so this is like the Magic Bandaid until that glorious feature upgrade comes to pass
Thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate it.

ah! there it is! āunable to bind to 8233ā!!!
is another coin or something using that port, or is it blocked by firewall or other security settings from talking to the network?
because that is whatās going on
Again thanks for the ultra quick reply!
Ah yes! Closed down two other coin wallets and now itās loading. Thanks! Is there any possibility to use it side by side with the others?

you SHOULD be able to change the ports in use in the zcash.conf file by hand so that the gui will use it no matter what they listen onā¦I have not tried to do it aside from purely command line use before tho!
Lemme fool with it really quick and get back to you

Iām fafing about with my zcash.conf options to find a config thatāll work for listening on other ports, youāre the 2nd person in the last week or two whoās needed this setting tweaked right to run with other wallets at the same time
