ShtrMcCracken Hey all.. im looking for some help on using wallet...

Ive been beating my head against the desk for 3 days trying to get a wallet compiled/running so that I can import my private keys and send some zcash.. Issue is I only have private keys and no seed phrase and from what i can tell the only wallets that will allow me to do this are full node wallets... So begins the saga..

After failing to get several of the 'light' wallets compiled that i was uncertain about whether they would allow me to import private keys or not, I bit the bullet and spun up a docker instance of zcashd... Well after about 48 hours i noticed that it was at about 65% and going super sloooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww..

So today I decided to give zebra a shot. Its currently running in a docker container but i just realized the lightwalletd is needed for wallet transactions (i think... ). And from what I can tell adding lightwalletd may take more configuration and my brain is about shot.. I see there are some commands in the docs that will spin up a docker instance with both, but i saw this after my zebra isntance has synced quite a bit... So id be starting over again after 3 days...

Am I going about this right? Is there an easier way?? Do any lite wallets exist that will allow me to import private keys?? and if not, WHY??? If I'm on the right path, does anyone have any hints/tips for me to get a synced node so i can send this zcash?? or is there a way I can use someones node to send?? I'm pretty green at this so any advice would be welcomed.

Cheers,
-K
