I'm definitely not a hater but I don't like the sync time when you start up the app.

I thought that Zeus could be a great wallet to onboard noobs as you can start with custodial ecash and work your way up to owning a channel. I think the sync time kills this idea though. It kinda needs to work instantly

good point! That's why I discussed this proposal on their github. We need somehow to speedup this process of "first time start".
Is really hard to start explaining to a total noob, why is taking a while to sync, why is a node, why you need to know which peer are better etc. Are quite a long list of technical details that a total noob doesn't know, but are crucial.

In my opinion, having a little bit more detailed of a load message might help.

Having a percentage complete syncing might not be technical doable but showing the different steps would give the user a better sense of sync progress.

Example:

  • Node Hand Shake
  • Node Balance retrieval
  • Etc...
  • Etc...

True, why does it take so long? And fail many times too?

My second biggest complaint

As a newbie, I understood that it was important to wait for synchronization, while I think it could be a later step followed by a more detailed explanation with or without infographics, as to why synchronization is important. I keep the app without channels because it gives me confidence to use it with other custodial accounts and wait for the ecash to arrive.
