Trying to send coins in Agama wallet but get an error:
"An unknown error occured, if you are sending mined funds, check that you have shielded them to a private address before attempting to send"
WTF???
The rule for coinbases on Verus, Zcash, and a number of other coins with zk-SNARKs, is that you must "shield" your coinbase transactions before you can use them, by sending them entirely to a z-address first, then back to a t-address. the Wallet has a shield all recent coinbases option, but you must make a private address (use legacy until Sapling activates) before you will see the option in the send screen. it is possible to send the entire amount to a z-address manually, but the easiest way to do it is by using the automatic shield coinbase option on the send screen.
What is the "the automatic shield coinbase option" on the send screen?
There are only 2 options:
1) "Send from the private address". I created private address but there is 0 balance on it. Should I send coins to this address?
2) "Shield all recent coinbase transactions". If I understand correctly, when enabling this option all coins will be send to the private address?
For #2, it will only select mature coinbase transactions that must be shielded and leave all other transactions alone.
