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.

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.

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

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

hi @Autotunafish need some help. I’m unable to move some ZEC from the Transparent pool (10 UTXOs, Transaction Version 1) on Zkool’s latest version

Even with “Recipient Pays Fee” ON and clicking “Max”, the wallet returns an “Insufficient Funds” error. I have also tried partial sends (1.0 ZEC), but they fail with the same error.

I am 100% synced. Is this a known ZIP-317 fee calculation or rounding bug specifically for V1 legacy coins? Any workaround to force these to the Orchard pool? Steps already attempted without success:

  1. Shield All: Failed with “Insufficient Funds.”

  2. Manual Send to Unified Address (Orchard): Failed.

  3. Recipient Pays Fee Toggle: Attempted with this setting ON; the error persisted even when clicking “Max.”

  4. Partial Amount Send: Attempted to send only 1.0 ZEC, the wallet still returned the same error.

  5. Address Types: Tested with both “Orchard-only” Unified Addresses and combined UAs.

Thank you!

The zip317 rules dictate that the minimum fee for a tx is 0.0001 and 0.00005 for every additional note (utxo). Basically, any notes with values lower than that cannot be spent. You could consider it a bug because of the negative effect, though it was intentional.
The NU7 zip has an addendum to adjust the minimum fee threshold, but it is not yet specified/confirmed. The currently fee level was set when the price of zec was considerably lowerer so it is feasible.
Zkool allows you to view and select notes (tap the account and then “notes” in top right) to exclude from spending which may possibly allow you to move some funds, if the values are sufficent.
