Compatibility between Starsig and Schnorrkel

[oleganza]

Hi,

I'd like to make Starsig and Schnorrkel compatible and maybe bikeshed the labels a little. Have you deployed Schnorrkel already, is it hard to update the labels? Would love to hear your thoughts on this: stellar/slingshot#382

Thanks!

Yes, it's deployed in kusama, but not yet in polkadot. It'd be tricky to change anything, although maybe not impossible if I can sell the devs on the change being important enough to justify keeping two versions of schnorrkel around.

Just fyi I think #45 will be the most annoying label mess here. If we do have a very good reason to change labels elsewhere, then maybe I'd try to deal with that in a better way than proposed in that issue. It's quite tricky to sell though.

It'd be very hard to convince folks to throw kusama users under the bus actually. I've long hoped kusma would be a short lived "game of stakes" style thing, but not likely. The branding is too amusing and folks are even discussing tattoos I hear. lol

I suppose accepting both labels might be one option for compatibility. We could probably feature gate the label choice somehow, or build it into the SigningTranscript.

I suppose our having selected prefix free labels maybe improves something somewhere:

We'll close this since everything is well established now.
