On windows, should be C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\databases

The preferences file is in ..Appdata\Roaming\me.hanh\ywallet

The AppData folder is hidden sometimes, may need to select the show hidden folder option in the file explorer

Thank you, that’s helpful. I have to say it seems odd to me that it isn’t all kept in the ywallet folder. It means a user deleting ywallet would likely be inadvertently leaving a large trace on their device, including their entire wallet data! Not great from a security and privacy perspective in my view. I see there are also wallet database files left in the Temp folder too.

On another note, I just found out about Zkool from browsing on here. I haven’t seen it referenced anywhere else when looking for wallets to use. I think it would be a good idea if a reference was made to it on the Ywallet site at least, if it’s meant to be a replacement.

@Shawn might be able to get you bumped. Otherwise, it’s just a vetting period where you have to spend some time on the forum and reply to a couple topics.

All set, you should be able to post a new topic.

Hi all. Is there a way to open a new thread as new user, or do you first need to earn some reputation?

I have some question regarding regaining access to and old Zcash (pre-2018) Ledger wallet.
I think it would be best to ask in a new thread, but since I cannot create such a threadt, this is a short recap of my problem:
-Ledger nano S with many mining outputs, pre 2018
-Running zebra (node)
-Running lithwalletd
-Cannot find a wallet to connect to it that can recognize and spend pre-2018 outputs. Tried y-wallet, but it cannot do a rescan starting before 2018 and I could not even find the settings to connect to my full node.

Cannot find a wallet to connect to it that can recognize and spend pre-2018 outputs.

The easiest way to liberate the funds would be to import the seed into zkool set up for ledger as described in this post.

Zeash balance is shown as 0

Just use zkool in its standard config for Ledger. Create a new account, choose restore, enter the seed phrase, deselect Sapling & Orchard, set birth height to 1, let the app scan for additional transparent addresses. Then sync. This shouldn’t take more than a few seconds, since your wallet has no shielded pools.

If you cannot do that, it should also be possible to compile the ledger app but I’ve not done it myself.
