My wish: I want to be able to import my really old wallet (my “dogfood” wallet from when I worked at ECC) into my phone so that I can spend the funds in there. I can probably get access to those funds on a PC using zcashd, but so far I’ve been procrastinating doing that, and no mobile wallet I’ve tried has worked; I’ve only ever gotten to like 2% syncing progress.
The spam attack is the reason syncing that wallet takes so long, but even assuming no more spam attacks happen and Zcash usage remains consistent, everyone else is eventually going to have this same problem importing their wallet. Imagine someone creates a new wallet today, uses it for 5 years, then they get a new phone and try to import their wallet into their new phone. They’re going to run into the same issue I’m having now.
Please keep the spirit of the thread on topic. The idea is to have actionable things that external or existing developers of the ecosystem could find as suitable projects or products.
I ran into a similar issue, I have a zcashd wallet I created around NU5 that I haven’t been able to access because every time I would start zcashd, it would trigger a full re-scan.
I decided to recover it in Zenith with the seed phrase and the exercise pointed out a number of places where the wallet scanning could be optimized, we’ll be releasing a new version with these optimizations once the changes are complete. We want to make sure people can use their wallets for years and recover them if needed.
I would like zcash to be a full-fledged bank. The ability to store coins and earn interest just by owning and holding them, like a savings account at a traditional bank.
more improvements to ZSA to enable the implementation of stablecoin (private stablecoin) in order to be the first private stablecoin. I believe that in the not too distant future there will be a demand for privacy, those who have real money would love to make anonymous transactions and with currency that does not have much volatility
