FAQs About Your Arizen Wallet's Support and Features for Conducting Private Transactions
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
- SSH connection is
- established (Ping) and the zend
- LED shows if the zend RPC is responding to requests.
Why do the LEDs on the "Total Balance is " bar sometimes turn red and then green?
- Mainly due to network instability. Please note that this is not a fault
- of Arizen
- .
What happens if I change a my Secure/Super Node?
After the settings are
updated by the user, Arizen
starts syncing the Z addresses in both directions. The User
will need to start a re-scan of the blockchain on the Secure/Super node by running:
Code Block sudo systemctl stop zend && zend -rescan
- After rescan is finished, functionality can continue as usual (the zend LED will illuminate green)
Once the re-scan has completed, you will need to stop zend and restart it with systemd to re-enable process monitoring and automatic certification renewal.
Code Block zen-cli stop && sudo systemctl start zend
Are my private keys stored in the Secure/Super Nodes?
- Only private keys for Z address are stored in the Secure/Super Nodes.
- T addresses generated from Arizen are securely stored exclusively
- within Arizen.
Are the private keys , of my T addresses , stored in on any Secure/Super Node?
- No, they
- exist 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.
- Arizen
- keeps a 1 to 1 copy of Z addresses.
What is the address “My Watch Only Secure/Super Node addr”?
- This is the intermediate T
- address that lives
- on the Secure Node.
Can I run zend locally?
- Yes, you should follow the
- 3.1 - Connecting a Secure or Super Node guide page and instead of entering a FQDN, you should use the localhost address: 127.0.0.1.
Can I use the Z transaction functionality shielded address capabilities without giving my SSH credentials?
- This is not possible as, an SSH tunnel should be established for security
- reasons. In this way your private keys and information are sent back and forth encrypted.
- To not use SSH credentials would require use of a local instance of zend connected over localhost.
Can I use an SSH RSA key instead of a password?
- Yes, see 3.1a - Connect to node with RSA Key
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 safebecomes FUBAR'd or otherwise no longer exists in our universe?
- 42? Okay seriously....the funds associated with the private keys are securely stored within Arizen and can be fully recovered by simply re-connecting Arizen with a new Secure/Super node or local instance of zend using localhost. Only T addresses with the name “My Watch Only Secure Node addr” from the Secure
- /Super node are not backed up in the Arizen wallet. You are responsible for backing up your Arizen wallet and the wallets of your Secure/Super Nodes. Horizen does not have any control over your wallets or keys. Practice safe crypto.
