This week's education piece

Visualizing Addresses - ZecHub

This week Dismad presents a guide for newcomers to Zcash.

Different address types can be confusing, it’s an uncommon feature in other cryptocurrencies.
The guide explains what each Address Type looks like, Transparent addresses starting with a 't' & the addr character lengths. We then learn about Unified Addresses and how they allow both transparent and shielded funds to be received to your wallet using the same address!
Definitely a useful page for anyone new to Zcash Wallets.
