How can crypto ever truly get adopted mainstream when it is still so difficult to use and hold?
I have been a holder for many years and just realized I have never transferred to shelley. I store my ada on a ledger and didn’t think I had to worry as a long term holder. Now I cannot transfer my tokens anywhere with any wallet.
Can someone please help and give me some guidance.
Thank you
whats exactly the issue? There is a easy way to migrate from Byron to Shelley era via Yoroi wallet.
Simply connect your Ledger to Yoroi and migrate your funds to a new shelley wallet.
Thank you for replying. I tried this multiple times it doesn’t work. Ledger makes you go through multiple transactions then nothing happens. I can see my ada in the byron wallet and created a shelley one to transfer. Yoroi just doesnt transfer it. Trying to get Daedulas now but download is taking forever.
Yeah i think you should be also able to do it via Daedalus. Lets sync it and try it there. If you arent able to migrate, i will guide you step by step through the process.
Ok sounds good thank you
did u try on adalite.io (its a faster light wallet. no need to sync… daedalus will take to much and requires ~12G RAM)
and report any suspicious DM, stai safe – don’t connect your wallets on suspicious URLs !
I tried Adalite and can see my cardano there. Do I need to swap to delegate token or can I leave as is if I’m not going to stake for now? Also they created an address and it appears I can only swap all or non. Is this new address another ledger address and for shelley? Sorry for the newbie questions but I’ve been out the game for a while.
Thank you
Yep if you want to migrate you can only migrate all or none coins.
You dont have to delegate your coins once you migrate to a Shelley wallet.
If you secured your Byron wallet with your hardware wallet, your new Shelley wallet is also secured by your hardware wallet.
I hope that answers all the questions 
It does thank you. Also fyi ledger live does not show balance of ada if not Shelley I’m assuming. Not sure if this has ever come up but I guess it doesn’t recognize my Byron account which is how I ended up here asking.
Yes, Ledger Live only implements Shelley, never promised anything else.
As far as I can see the other part of your question is being well covered. So I will only focus in this, as mainstream adoption is a very interesting topic.
Blockchain, as any other technology is right now not ready for mainstream ror sure.
But think back a few years, how hard it was back then compared to today?
I am a drone enthusiast, so I will use my first and my current drone as an analogy.
My first drone I had to build from scratch, source parts from RC boats, cars and airplanes to frankenstein something that eventually was able to fly.
Now to my current drone, I can give the controller to any passer-by and they will navigate it safely with minimum help from me.
This is how technology usually works. As it evolves it becomes more and more user friendly.
Give it a few years of evolution and crypto will be as easy to use, and most likely interchangeable with Fiat currency (until it takes over completely 
).
