I’m stealth, a secret, you see;
Unlocking a feature for Nighthawk is the key.
With three decimals, and nothing more,
I'm sent to a Z address, a hidden score.
What am I that hides the face,
To reveal that special place?
Exciting day

Zcash ticks all these boxes.
From bagels to beach getaways, it's got you covered.

$ZEC $AMP
We received a 5.8433 ZEC/$1337 donation /w memo "Donating unused funds from GitCoin grant to open-source Zcash wallet development (Nighthawk)"
Since the tx was z2z we don't know who sent it, but with each donation we receive, we incentivize new developers to help reach our goals.
New feature announcement 📢
Receive ZEC on a T-addrs + shortcut to shield funds to your private Zcash address. This will enable Zcashers world-wide to withdraw funds from exchanges & smart-contracts which only interact with T-addresses.
1/ 🤔 WHAT ARE ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROOFS?
At its core, a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is a cryptographic technique that lets someone prove something is true, without showing the exact facts making it so.

This is a major upgrade that brings you a sleeker, faster, and more secure wallet experience.
You can now download the test versions for iOS and Android and give us your feedback. Stay tuned for the public release coming soon!

Zcash vs. Bitcoin: Unraveling the Differences 🔍💰
1/ 🌐 Zcash & Bitcoin:
Twins or Just Siblings?
Both are digital currencies, but while Bitcoin shines a spotlight on transactions, Zcash values privacy above all.
To our loyal users and newcomers, the wait is over!
Upgrade and embrace private, permissionless transactions.
We're excited for the incredible use cases you’ll unlock with our upgraded app!
2 years ago, a group of ZEC users from
@BostonZcash
launched Nighthawk as the first Shielded-by-Default wallet for Zcash. With the aim of increasing Shielded Pool adoption, we had even blocked the feature to send ZEC to transparent addresses! 💪🛡️✔️
As we gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving 🍂, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you and the incredible crypto community that surrounds us. Your support and enthusiasm are the driving forces behind our mission to bring privacy and self-sovereignty to the masses.
Nighthawk Wallet is undergoing a transformation. This will result in a brand new look and feel for the wallet going forward in 2022 🙌🛡️
A new icon and colour scheme was the start. Now almost every screen in the app is being redesigned to fit the new look. -

Privacy holds significant weight in the realm of cryptocurrency. 🏋️♂️
Users are placing increasing importance on discretion and safety while managing their digital wealth, as new threats emerge.
Let’s dive in to why so many crypto projects are prioritizing privacy:
🎉 Day 1 of
#Zcon4
was amazing!
The expectations for
@NighthawkWallet
are sky-high, and Zcashers are eager for an easy-to-use UX. We've gathered numerous unique feature requests, and we're thrilled to prioritize them for the upcoming wallet relaunch. Exciting times ahead! 😃🚀
With the Halo Arc release, we’re introducing auto-shielding and unified addresses. In supporting wallets, these features ensure your Zcash transaction and balance information is automatically encrypted — Shielded by Default — in the latest shielded pool.
Back in my day, I paid a

The Power & Importance of Privacy 🛡️🔒
1/ 🧐 WHY IS PRIVACY VITAL?
Privacy is your superpower, allowing you to choose when, how, and with whom you share your life's details.

To further clarify, we’ve reserved time in our roadmap to implement the SPEDN feature set. The timeline depends on the availability of the SDK from

Nighthawk, the first z2z-only
#Zcash
wallet, is now live on Google Play!
Test pilots wanted! 🛫
We'll be publishing our flight plan in the coming days. Stay tuned...
🚨 We are in the process of supporting compatibility with NU5 node zcashd v5.0.0
There is a possibility of service disruption where
@NighthawkWallet
users may not be able to broadcast transactions as the zcashd v4.6.0-2 & v4.7.0 nodes will halt on May 16.
Please take a minute to tell Congress that Privacy is a fundamental human right and essential to democracy. Everyone deserves protection from surveillance, as well as the freedom to build tech tools that preserve privacy by design!
This release represents our final grant milestone for delivering a fast-syncing wallet.
Nighthawk is again the easiest way to onboard newcomers and facilitating ZEC transactions securely on-the-go.
3/ 🛍️ Shop 'til You Drop with Zcash!
Thanks to third-party apps like Flexa SPEDN, your shopping spree can range from Lowe's to Nordstrom, Baskin Robbins, and beyond – all using Zcash.
Good news comes in twos!
Not only can you now withdraw

But Nighthawk for iOS was approved for TestFlight! 🛫
Stay tuned... 🛡🍎
Nighthawk v2.2.13 has been released with updated servers following the decommissioning of
@lightwalletd
servers.
You can always run your own node to download blocks and broadcast transactions to not rely on third-party hosts.
One key feature of this update is the ‘Spend Before Sync’ feature from the recently launched Zcash Mobile SDK.
This revamped version adopts the composable architecture for iOS & Jetpack Compose for Android, ensuring our code bases are future-proofed for security and compliance.
Clearly we need to work harder to make Shielded ZEC accessible by everyone! Our designer
@coxy
will soon be starting with UX study and redesign of
@NighthawkWallet
for Zcash.
Been a busy 2 hours following the NU5 launch on main-net. Our team has successfully sent and received transactions from the Orchard pool using zcashd.
Nighthawk Wallet is operational to send/receive transactions between Sapling Shielded & Transparent pools as expected.🛡️📲
We asked
@cz_binance
on
@joinClubhouse
when
@binance
plans to support Z-address withdrawals.
He replied saying his wallet team is resource constrained, trying to keep the core systems up & running vs supporting advanced features.
Can someone from Zcash help them?
@cryptoserrano
🤔🛡️ Imagine a cryptographic key that unlocks truths without spilling the secrets behind them.
It's like proving you're of age without showing your ID - privacy, and verification in one go!
It's a game-changer in the crypto world 🗺️
Transparent addresses should come with a 'REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT' tag. 🛫
