Shielded expedition
For the shielded expedition, it is important to remember to add the --memo flag to every transaction. The memo should be filled with the tpknam submitted at the shielded-expedition registration period.
For example namadac transfer --source me --target you --amount 10 --token naan --signing-keys my-key --memo tpknamq1337mypubkey1964qqqqqq
As of version v0.31.8 you must specify --node http://127.0.0.1:26657 when running namadac commands. This is a temporary bug until the namadac client is updated.
The balances.toml file is located at https://github.com/anoma/namada-shielded-expedition.
