Hi guys. I purchased IOTA in September of 2016 and I just tried to access it with my seed for the first time since then but it says 0 balance. I am using iota_2.3.0_amd64.deb in lite mode. Someone suggested trying to produce many new addresses. I have produced and attached 54 so far but still 0 balance. I will keep trying. But in the mean time, what else can be done?
Thanks to anyone who can help and I will be tipping anyone who is material in helping me resolve this issue.
*edit* Oh and I don't have my database information any more. All I have is my seed. I thought that was all I needed.
You ve missed the second claiming phase which was automaticly and isnt possible anymore, you ve to contact David on slack, all you need is your old seed. Good luck with your IOTAs, great investment!. Oh wait. I was reading this more carefully and I think we miss communicated. I purchased my IOTA second hand from an ICO investor. I think the confusion came from my use of the word stake. |

So than there is no worry that I have lost my funds. Thank god. It was not a trivial amount.  Is "David Sønstebø" the david that I am looking for? |

I had around 30 of these back in the day SIGH and now I have 0, I think I should buy a few Moneros yes? I am gutted I didn't keep them at the time but needs at the time dictated. Such a lovely coin it is.  Yes you should buy some. I can only dream of having dry powder left at this point. |

Want to Inform Everyone..
Anon136 was the Escrow of IMPULSE Coin ICO and he was also the escrow of bounty campaigns.
he agreed to make users payment.. but when payment time come he's not responding me (he's not online)
so I want to inform you all do not deal with him as he probably involve in IMPULSE Coin Scam. and he's part of those scammers devs. (or maybe his account his hacked, and it is being used for fake escrows)
Edit: I'll wait few more days. if he don't pay users till that time. I'll post all screenshots of his agreements in a scam accusation and ask DT members to tag him with red.
The escrow address provided for this campaign, https://blockchain.info/address/1BEZ2vqFxH8thcsZYy95Dr4BSDLkyWvq5k, has, as of yet, received no funding.

The digital signature will provide all of the authentication I could need. If you do not know how to produce a digitial signature that is fine. I will be happy to walk you through it.

It is worth that small cost in my mind since you can feel secure in that your bitcoin will not be stolen. |

Hm well lets do a little math. For the sake of simplicity lets say monero transactions are the same size as bitcoin transactions. And that bitcoins 1mb blocks are what are necissary to keep sifficient decentralization at this time. Lets scale it at moores law over 20 years. In 20 years that is 13 doublings. Lets say half the people on earth use monero for day to day transactions. Lets say the average person makes about 5 transactions per day.
We would need (3.5billion*5/86400) ~200,000 transactions per second. Bitcoin does about 7tx/s. 13 doublings would put it at ~60,000tx/s. I mean it's in the same realm. Throw 2 more doublings in there and you would be > 200,000. IF moors law holds. Sooo maybe. Maybe it scales well enough in 20 years without some scaling breakthrough.
Yes, but it gets better. In the above scenario the blockchain would continue to grow at a linear rate, but there is no requirement for Moore's law to stop. So one would have an exponentially falling cost with a linea growth in blockchain size. This is what happened with credit / debit / payment cards. There was fall in the cost of "keeping the ledger" by many orders of magnitude between the tabulating machines of the 1940's and the mainframe computers of the 1970's. The cost of keeping the ledger kept falling even after market saturation. The beauty of the Monero approach to the blocksize / scaling issue is that the market actually ends up setting the size of the blocks and the price of the blocks in response to the actual real cost of keeping the ledger. This is because the cost in terms of Monero of each block is actually set by the emission. So the market will end up setting the size of the blocks in terms of MB (or GB, TB etc) and cost of the blocks in terms of the purchasing power of a fixed amount, the tail emission, of XMR. Edit: The above is accomplished without a pre determined blocksize limit (Bitcoin and Bitcoin type crypto currencies) or a fixed cost per MB (Ethereum and similar fixed fee models). In both of the Bitcoin or Ethereum cases changing the blocksize or the fees requires a hard fork. Wow. Damn. You are completely right. Growth in transaction demand would be a mostly liner function indeed and even if the increase in transaction capacity does not follow moore's law it would be some form of compounding function. Perhaps it would be significantly more modest than moore's law but any compounding function will over take any liner function given enough time. It is only a question of when. And I think we can reasonably postulate that it will be a value less than a particular value, i.e. probably not 100 years, because we do have historical data that we can examine for relevant trends and project forward while allowing generous margin for error. |

https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2016/10/21/bitcoin-is-unstable-without-the-block-reward/We reexamine this assumption in our paper, and our findings make disturbing news for the future security of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies. Our key insight is that with only transaction fees, the variance of the miner reward is very high due to the randomness of the block arrival time, and it becomes attractive to fork a “wealthy” block to “steal” the rewards therein. Here’s how things could go wrong. Due to the possibility of profitable forking, the default strategy is no longer best; we lay out a menagerie of interesting and bizarre strategies in the paper. The most worrisome is “undercutting,” where miners capture as little of the available transaction fees as they can get away with, leaving the rest in the pool as an incentive for the next miner to extend their block rather than a competing block. It'll be interesting to see whether or not the 0.3 BTC XMR emission rate will be sufficient to ward off this problem described. If we have good data based on real research to indicate some alternative amount I'm not so certain that that specific particular value is immutably baked into the social contract. The concept of a tail emission is. But not the exact specific value. |

The adaptive blocksize combined with the tail emission is what will make the Monero business model still relevant should the real cost of "keeping the ledger" fall by several orders of magnitude due to changes in hardware, networking etc. In this scenario Bitcoin could very well end up being Dinrer's Club while Monero could be VISA. Instead of simply dismissing fiat banking and credit / debit / payment cards it is important to learn their lessons of history. Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it.

As N-rG and his sock puppets moneylooser (dude loser is written with 1 O, Germans never learn that) and others, spread lies and faked news around the hour, they achieve some kind of contra effect. They make XMR hodlers and interested investors dull and deaf for FUD, they desensibilize everybody to FUD as everybody sees how obvious there agenda is and how much energy they put into it. Thx. Basically you are saying they are an inoculation. Vaccines are made of disease and they are disease. Funny thought. |

The trolls are too short term here. They are expecting 10 000 usd by tonight and if the price will not go there in 24 hours they call it impossible.
Yes, Monero will be worth 10 000 usd each sooner or later but not today or even in 2016. 10 000 usd/xmr price tag is not impossible but the timeline of hours/a few months is unrealistic.
The shorters period it need to reach that price is 3-4 years - and that requires also skyrocketing and some mad money. More realistic view of achieving 10 000 usd/xmr is 10-20 years. It took 10-20 years for internet to break through so please give Monero also some years.
We will need a serious proper solution to scaling for that to ever happen. Way way more than just an adaptive block size, database optimization and pruning. |

Revising the github history and comments I think that we are only like 1 month away from the official GUI Beta. I can not wait to transfer at last everything I have on the off. gui. I don't want to ever look again at that ugly dos window or being afraid that polo will be hacked or that mymonero will be phish-ed or ddos-ed.
Thats funny. It had the opposate effect on me. I bought this book: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction and am presently working towards banishing desktop environments from my life entirely. Command line and the occasional xwindow only for me from here on out.  |

I think one way or another price in November-December is $ 70-90.
Possible, if BTC goes 10x and Monero stays at same price I'm proud of our little monero for holding on as well as it has in the last week during this bitcoin rally. |

This is awesome! Do you have any screenshots? I'm just curious... does it boot into a full GUI with a web browser to load that address generator? Or is it a CLI? I can't imagine its too complicated with the iso only being 100 megs. I look forward to trying it out. Oooh is this based on tinycore? I love tinycore linux! I even thought about this as an application for it before. *edit* I see in the github description that it is. Too awesome. Probably shouldnt use the gui version. Probably should just pull xwindow and a simple browser on the 11mb cli version and write a script to manually configure everything on boot. That way it will just boot into a full screen version of MoneroAddress and nothing else. Tinycore is all about application specific development and you can really take it all the way in that direction and should. |

Fully funded! 80 individual contributions totaling 7,245 XMR Too awesome. Prospects remain bright for this project. |

im willing to bet 10k xmr with you on that, it will be out untli end of year.
Happy to escrow if needed. |
