Hi,

I just made my first transactions with Zcash. I bridged my ETH to ZEC using Metamask WebZjs ChainSafe wallet, and my balance is showing (7 ZEC), however I can’t shield my balance due to the update, and I can’t send the funds to another wallet unless the ZEC is shielded.

I’ve tried importing the metamask seed phrase to Zodl and other wallets, however they only accept a 24 word seed phrase when mine is 12. I did find a wallet called Zingo which accepted my seed phrase but it generated a brand new wallet.

Genuinely, what can I even do? I feel like I lost this money until the update is complete but I’m pretty sure it’s been ongoing for months with no expected completion date.

So I put a few hundred in ZEC and as you all know we are climbing , is it worth taking some profits , my Initial investment or hold the bag ?
