You can get a new Z address as well as T address. Just click on Get new address and select the type of the address you need, see Figure 3.3. If you don’t have connected any Node you will be able to create only T address, as it’s shown in the Figure 3.4. After clicking Create the Z address will appear in your Arizen wallet, as you can see in the Figure 3.5. The new Z address is created from the Secure Node and the Private Key is on the Secure Node and the Arizen Wallet.

Please note that you can create new private Z address only if you have both LEDs light green and you are connected to your zend.

We created this section for better and quicker orientation in new private addresses and transactions support.

Do I have to use a Secure/Super Node when I want to use Arizen?

No, if you do not want to send ZEN to/from Z addresses you can continue using Arizen as usual.

What are these LEDs on the Total Balance bar?

The server LED (the left one) shows if the computer is up (Ping) and the zendled shows if the zend RPC is responding to requests.

Why the LEDs on the Total Balance is sometimes red and then green?

Mainly due to network instability. Please note that this is not a fault on Arizen Wallet side.

What happens if I change a Secure Node?

After the settings are update by the user, Arizen is syncing the Z addresses in both directions. User should start zend to rescan the blockchain by running command:

zen-cli stop && sleep 8 && zend -rescan

 After rescan is finished, functionality can continue as usual.

Are my private keys stored in the Secure/Super Nodes?

Only private keys for Z address are stored in the Secure/Super Nodes. But T addresses generated from Arizen are securely stored exclusively in Arizen.

Are the private keys, of my T addresses, stored in any Secure Node?

No, they live only in Arizen.

Are the private keys, of my Z addresses, stored in any Secure/Super Node?

Yes, they are in the Secure/Super Node as well as in the Arizen Wallet. The Arizen is keeping a 1 to 1 copy of Z addresses.

What is the address “My Watch Only Secure/Super Node addr”?

This is the T intermediate address that lives in the Secure Node.

Can I run zend locally?

Yes, you should follow the guide for the settings and in the Secure/Super Node FQDN field you should put localhost or 127.0.0.1 .

Can I use the Z transaction functionality without giving SSH credentials?

This is not possible as, an SSH tunnel should be established for security reason. In this way your private keys and information are sent back and forth encrypted. The only possibility to not provide SSH credential is to run zend locally and keep a full copy of the blockchain.

Can I use an SSH key instead of password?

This is not yet implemented.

What to do if my Secure/Super Node stops existing/destroyed/doesn’t work at all ?

The funds of the private keys, that are stored in Arizen, are safe. Only T addresses with name “My Watch Only Secure Node addr” from the Secure Nodes are not backed up in Arizen wallet. You are responsible for backing up your Arizen wallet and the wallets of your Secure/Super Nodes.
