Hi

I hope you're doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m experiencing some serious issues while trying to manage my Zcash legacy addresses in Zkool. I have addresses, each containing a small balance (~0.14 ZEC total), but whenever I try to sweep or consolidate them, I encounter constant errors related to fees, even when the amounts should cover the transaction.

Additionally:

• Syncing is extremely slow, and sometimes the wallet fails to scan blocks properly.

• Many nodes I try to connect to are dead or unreachable, making it impossible to fully validate my addresses.

• Using Zkool’s built-in light node leads to frequent “Response too big” and “Transport/DNS” errors.

I’m looking for guidance on how to safely consolidate my balances or resolve these issues, especially considering legacy addresses, network lag, and node availability. Any suggestions or possible solutions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Fees are not calculated based on address balance (like in ETH) but on individual notes (like BTC). If you received funds in multiple transactions, each transaction contributes one note. The most likely reason is that you have received thousands of tiny amounts to the same address. Then it is not worth spending them because the fee exceeds the balance.

You can check the number of notes in a block explorer.

Yeah, Is it possible to add a multi-key sweep / UTXO consolidation feature that allows importing multiple private keys, collecting all UTXOs, and sweeping them into a single address?

This would help consolidate fragmented balances that are not spendable individually.

It won't change anything. The consolidation tx would take a lot of utxos and cost more in fees than it merges.
This is a protocol rule that was created to prevent small notes.
Think of it as retiring pennies.

😅 Yea, I tried to sweep keys from hex 01 to 30, but I couldn’t spend them.

Of course, if they could have been swept, someone would have done it already.
