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

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

My second biggest complaint

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...

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.
