This is experimental software and it will eat your money, your hard drive and your pets.

• offline and paper wallets
• non-Linux amd64 environments (Raspberry Pi, OpenBSD, ...)
• machines without the resources to run a full node

• offline generation of z-address wallets
• paper backup generation (TODO)
• 150 LoC, easy to review
• pure Go, easy to cross-compile / deploy

Balance management and spending operations are not supported.

• generate a z-address with zcash-mini on a secure machine
• optionally turn it into a paper wallet
• receive Zcash on a t-address in a full node
• send the Zcash to the z-address yourself
• to spend the Zcash, export the private key to a full node
