[Documentation] What is shared with the public monerod node? #847

Closed maltfield closed 2 years ago

maltfield commented 2 years ago

This is a request to add to the FAQ a section that tells the user exactly what is shared with the public node by this wallet

I noticed that the MyMonero wallet website states that it shares the "view key" with their servers:

only your "view key" is shared with the server.

Question: Does Monerujo also share the "view key" with the server?

m2049r commented 2 years ago

monerujo does not share the view key (mymonero scans for you and so needs the view key)

@m2049r thanks for answering my question, but I believe this issue was closed prematurely.

This issue was created to document a list of all of "what is shared with the server" in the FAQ.

Can you please re-open until this info has been documented somewhere (eg the FAQ page)?
