Privacy

Although all the keys and transaction detection happens on the client, the server can determine which blocks contain your shielded transactions and other metadata about you, such as your IP address.

Note management

Quiver Lite does automatic note and UTXO management. That is, it doesn't allow you to manually select the address from which to send outgoing transactions. It follows these conventions:

* Defaults to sending shielded transactions, even if you're sending ARW to a transparent address
* Sapling funds need at least five confirmations before they can be spent
* Can select funds from multiple shielded addresses in the same transaction
* Automatically shields your transparent funds at the first opportunity
* When sending an outgoing transaction to a shielded address, Quiver Lite uses the transaction to also shield your transparent funds (i.e., sends your transparent funds to your own shielded address in the same transaction)
