Sapling to Orchard Migration?

I’m not surprised because:

  • 95% of people are unable to figure out how to sync their full nodes
  • Of these people, even fewer know how to use zcash-cli to send and use UA’s correctly
  • Because of the sync issues, Zecwallet Fullnode is unusable for almost everyone.
  • Ywallet, the most used wallet it seems, does not support UA’s yet
  • Other mobile wallets from my experience are still unusable past the first few tx’s. ( Syncing still takes too long)

Happy to note all these issues will be fixed soon, but the frustration levels are high considering the above. The learning curve continues to be steep for those outside the security/engineer/crypto veteran circles.

I think a tool to migrate could help but its not what the real issue is.
