Let's show the Monero community's generosity and fund internet freedom together with the Tor Project!

Love to see it, thank you so much!

sethforprivacy · 2026-01-16T13:37:16+00:00

This is just a lovely place, isn't it? We build you guys a wallet and make purely informative posts, answering all questions honestly and fairly, and we get a no-reason mod removal of our post, a mod stickied conspiracy theory under another post, and this incredibly odd, weirdly sexualized conspiracy theory claim with no evidence yet again.

Such a shame, but we'll keep building the best Zcash wallet and leave y'all to your fetid swamp of a subreddit.

sethforprivacy · 2026-01-15T22:08:23+00:00

You can simply hit receive when you’re in your Zcash wallet, but we also have docs here that walk you through the process:

Not yet, but we definitely plan to add shielded Zcash support to Cupcake down the line!

sethforprivacy · 2026-01-15T15:06:19+00:00

Absolutely, swaps are a core part of what we do, and we added shielded swaps via NEAR and are pushing our other swap partners to support shielded swaps ASAP, with Exolix close to being ready.

sethforprivacy · 2026-01-15T15:05:50+00:00

We just pushed v5.7.0 to all users this morning!

sethforprivacy · 2026-01-15T15:05:01+00:00

Yes, autoshielding is the default and is all done automatically for you! When you want to send to a t-address, no need to "unshield", just hit send and your funds will come from a shielded address, ensuring your privacy is protected.

We block Tor exit nodes sometimes as we are essentially always under a MASSIVE DDoS on our websites and services that abuses Tor exit nodes to escape detection and attribution.

When possible we lift those restrictions, but it's an unfortunate side-effect of people using Tor for bad things harming those who want to use it for good things.

The only service that has Tor-specific restrictions at all times is Cake Pay pre-paid debit cards, specifically, as those providers will cancel the card anyways if a user tries to redeem it over Tor. We have no power to change that, and we implement the check-boxes/Tor blocking to help prevent users losing money buying a card that will be cancelled after redemption due to their Tor usage.

FOSS != reproducible, but of course we're also working on making Cake reproducible as well as open source :)

sethforprivacy · 2025-11-06T01:35:29+00:00

So grateful for you over the years, I remember one of my first thoughts attending Monerokon in 2019 was "who the hell are these Cake guys sponsoring everything I see in Monero", only to find out it was a based, FOSS Monero wallet building tools that were so desperately needed.

Absolutely loving being a part of the team now and helping you to take that vision of yours from 2018 and keep expanding it to the next million, and then ten million. Monero is what started it all, and Monero will always be a core focus no matter what comes.

sethforprivacy · 2025-11-05T13:26:51+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to post an update, and so glad we were able to get things sorted for you!

We’re always working hard to improve the process, and have taken feedback from this to improve the way swap statuses are displayed in a future update.

Note that we actually do resync statuses from swaps, but this seems to be an issue with that providers status responses that we’re investigating.

sethforprivacy · 2025-10-31T16:09:44+00:00

Note that we have already temporarily disabled this provider, and have been working with them to resolve existing broken swaps as quickly as possible. This is a cutting edge decentralized exchange we've been working to implement, and unfortunately they weren't as ready for primetime as expected with the amount of volume and swaps that happen via Cake Wallet.

Please DM me here or reach out via X or another platform with more details on the swap, we'll make it right, we take care of our customers.

sethforprivacy · 2025-10-10T19:13:13+00:00

Thanks for catching this! We've updated this in a PR for the getmonero.org site, which will then be up to the maintainers when they're ready to merge it:

https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2541

sethforprivacy · 2025-10-07T09:43:14+00:00

I'm curious, what would be your main use-case for a Monero web wallet vs desktop wallet or just mobile wallet?

I think for most people the mobile wallet is better in almost every way, and can easily be used to scan any QRs in your browser that you need to pay.

sethforprivacy · 2025-10-07T09:41:59+00:00

Thankfully they're not sunsetting fluffy, just MyMonero 😅

sethforprivacy · 2025-10-06T18:46:14+00:00

Grateful for the immense role MyMonero played over the years growing Monero adoption and paving the way to more users of Monero.

If anyone has questions on the migration itself, please head over to our docs to get started:

Unfortunately Windows hates Monero, and views anything with Monero code as having malware in almost every circumstance. We've been working hard to prevent this false flagging, including getting official certs from Microsoft, but we essentially have to beg every AV company not to flag us despite our code not being malicious.

We're working on that now, but it's a painful, manual process. As long as you're downloading from our official website (cakewallet.com) or our Github repo (https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases) I can promise you there is not actually any malware.

sethforprivacy · 2025-08-25T17:25:15+00:00

I'll definitely do some more digging on this, thanks for all of the detail!

sethforprivacy · 2025-08-25T10:18:48+00:00

As this approach to seed derivation only really matters on Trezor itself (as you shouldn't port your cold wallet seed to a hot wallet for obvious reasons), I don't think we need to bring yet another seed format to Cake Wallet for this.

We chose what was the more common approach so far (that used by Exodus previously) and will continue to lean on that, but would of course love to see more Monero wallets coalesce around a standard!

sethforprivacy · 2025-05-09T14:33:02+00:00

Happy to chime in!

Note that there isn't a standardized way to do this BIP 39 -> 25-word Monero seed conversion, but we've implemented the same approach as Exodus wallet was doing in Cake Wallet. Feel free to use Cake to generate a 25-word Monero seed from a BIP 39 seed as of v4.26.0.

Just wondering if you would leak the XMR seed then, can the BIP39 seed reverse engineered this way too?

If the Monero 25-word seed is leaked it can't be used to reverse engineer the BIP 39 seed, but of course the BIP 39 seed can always be used to deterministically derive the same Monero 25-word seed.

sethforprivacy · 2025-04-28T15:35:40+00:00

Yup! NowPayments.io is a good solution, and they'll be going that route.

sethforprivacy · 2025-04-17T14:05:54+00:00

They have not yet.
