Title: Because of performance issues with the Zcash client we are unable to send payout
Post by: ggbtctalk000 on November 20, 2017, 03:27:35 AM
I just started mining with edbg the zcash and it is working but then now, from flypool's site it says following:
Because of performance issues with the Zcash client we are unable to send payout transactions to z addresses! Therefore DO NOT use z addresses to mine on the pool.

What does it mean? How do I know if my address is Z address?

You will need to use a t address or transparent address since the z addresses are a lot more computationally intensive for a pool to make use of.

The z addresses are fine for you sending one transaction, but if someone like a pool were to send hundreds of these at once it bogs down the system.

You tell them apart simply if they start with a "z" or a "t". :)

If you are worried about privacy, you will need to have the pool send to a t address wallet and only ever use that address to forward your funds to another wallet using a z address. The first wallet will be publicly view-able while the second will be more private.
