IOTA

[Videodrome]

do we are safe with the initial seed from ICO?

Yes.

Do we have to change seed or do something specific?

No.

Thanks for the answer! 

[l8orre]

important question seems to me - there will be no deadlines to claim the IOTA, can you confirm?

That's what I need to know also.

I remember reading that claiming will be possible until the coordinator is shut off, so ~1 year

@ l8orre: It will most likely be as easy as: Enter your seed, click one button -> done

yes- I am not really worried

sry for beeing a noob... iota is not a crypto right?
but can i mine it anywhere?

IOTA is not a crypto, what does that mean?

No, it's not a token settlement system that you can mine.

why is it so difficult to find the link of the wallet?

I have looked in:
OP of this thread
iotatoken.com
the first topics of http: // forum.iotatoken.com/

some place more, please?

But we have to wait for the new release.

You'll probably find it on this thread when the next version is released or http://chat.iotatoken.com/channel/releases

As quasimodo said, we are waiting at the moment.

There really is no usable GUI wallet right now or in the foreseeable future, it's been delayed beyond reason.

On a side note, how does this impact Iota: http://venturebeat.com/2016/05/03/microsoft-acquires-internet-of-things-platform-solair-will-integrate-the-technology-into-azure-iot-suite/

I hope for some good news other than the usual "it's up to the community" bullshit. We seem to have really stalled out. Testing is great and all, but why weren't we testing months ago?

What have you done lately?

Weren't we testing months ago? Yes, that's how brand new tech is made. Testing time is 100% up to the community. More testers = faster. So stop complaining and do something.

Assuming you took part in the ICO, you can still sell your Iota for profit. I am buying above double of ICO price https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1440112.msg14740102#msg14740102

But if you decide to hold, it might be smart to donate to the Fundation and help with testing, so you won't have to sell your iotas below ICO price after release

What have you done lately? I don't think anyone was testing months ago, CFB had to release prehistoric UI for people to be able to collect and send IOTA at the very least. I get that there were epic failures on hiring GUI people but man it's sad because we should have launched right at the Azure announcement when we had momentum.  Oh well.

Don't wait for a reasonable answer from that arrogant "iota representative".

[iotatoken]

It's really interesting how ignorance breeds confidence. Launched at Azure announcement? Yes, let's launch a revolutionary technology that is unfinished and barely tested, that would be a HUGE success for sure. /S

For the infinith time: we did not create IOTA to make you rich. IOTA is a project that arose from our IoT hardware start-up when our vision required a compensation layer, it's not a pump and dump coin, it's software for IoT, if you bought it for any other reason then you did not read what we said pre-sale nor what we have said every.single.day since then. That's YOUR fault, and your fault alone.

The GUI wasn't even part of the sale, the GUI was something we decided on when the sale was almost done, so it is again 100% irrelevant. I understand, it is inevitable that in the cryptospace a lot of the buyers will be speculators who only care about a fast ROI, it is what it is, I have spoken my mind on that 100 times in an attempt to drive as many of those guys who can't see further than the tip of their nose away. But even if you're just such a speculator and you hold any amount of IOTA, and your only goal is profit, WHY then are you not doing anything other than complain?

When it comes to marketing, adoption and launch IOTA has tons of plans, but none of those will kick into motion until community decides on foundation and testing has finished so we can launch a secure and functional platform. We're close, but when you got people like yourself who'd rather sit here complaining about being stupid and buying something they didn't understand, that does not accelerate launch, which benefits no one, least of all vacuous speculators.

Hello

I still don't understand if/ how it is possible to buy iota tokens safely, now, after crowdfunding's end.
Probably there is a post somewhere explaining the safe procedure to acquire them, please help me find it!

Thank you very much.

[zanzibar]

I understand my posts comes off as trollish, but I was expecting a little better communication. I don't get why we need to test Iota in the first place if it's not even really meant for GUI or "humans"  Shouldn't the machine to machine Iota network been tested months ago and deployed?  I just don't really get what were doing at this point?  Also, I know you didn't promise GUI, but how the hell are we supposed to buy, sell, send, Iota if we don't even have a simple GUI available?  At the core, Iota is very light, simple, fast, so I thought a launch around Azure announcement was reasonable, especially since GUI was supposed to be ready before the announcement. It seems like you are putting a lot on the "community" but it's impossible to create a real community pre-launch.

Alright let me clarify once again:

First and foremost, better communication? We got a dedicated forum, dedicated chat, dedicated twitter, dedicated newsletter, dedicated contact email and we still respond to almost all the IOTA threads on BTT and elsewhere. What more communication do you need?
We have also already stated over a month ago that we're officially moving over to http://chat.iotatoken.com and http://forum.iotatoken.com because we don't have time, nor do we want to be on BTT.


IOTA is indeed *primarily* engineered for IoT (though of course it can and is being used for other projects that require a scalable distributed ledger), but that doesn't mean we don't require testing. We're not living in the year 2030+ where programmers have been replaced by super AI's who can produce and debug software on its own yet. This means that humans still have to test the software, we still need engineers to make the IoT devices and create/implement software on said devices. So of course we need testing. IOTA has been tested since January, but the way software is engineered is such that you test simple features first, optimize them and then work your way up, which is what the previous months have gone to. Now we're already at 0.9.4 and close to launch, we're testing full features and have made some huge optimizations in the last month.
As for GUI, why would you need the Graphical part to test? Presumably you are an IoT/Ledger developer (since you bought IoT/Ledger software), so you shouldn't even need a UI, but you do have a barebones UI, just without the G. The G is only relevant for first impression and ease of use, but not important at all beyond launch party and for speculators.

When we announced IOTA ( 1 month prior to announcing sale ) we let everyone know that IOTA was not a speculative asset, it's not an investment, it is and always will be Internet-of-Things software. It may increase/decrease in value due to its nature of being inherently a limited supply software if the demand for its usage increase, but that's not what the IOTA project is about. In fact I have been VERY vocal and clear on this from day one exactly to avoid having to deal with these issues. Value comes from adoption of the tech, adoption comes from the real world. IOTA is not a p&d.

So repeat after me: you bought IoT software, therefore I assume you need it for some IoT project, or at least a distributed ledger project. I assume this of every IOTA holder, and when it's clear a holder does not have any intention of using IOTA for anything other than piggybacking on other people's blood, sweat and tears for quick profit, well then I tell them to fuck off, because we were 100% open and crystal clear on this from day 1.

Lastly I want to say that OF COURSE I understand that a significant portion of IOTA holders got no tech skills, no tech plans for IOTA and may not even care about IOTA beyond pure profit. I'm a realist and a pragmatic person, but I don't OWE you anything, so when people start using terms like 'blackmail' when we ask people to do (testing) what has always been obvious would be needed, I will respond with "Fuck off". If you JUST want to profit from IOTA, fine, it's a choice you've made, I can't and won't stop you, but you could AT LEAST do the sane (even from a purely egoist speculator POV) thing and not just sit around complaining, but at least contribute something to the COMMUNITY. The Azure news was an announcement, but it's only the beginning. We got big plans for Azure and beyond, we're actively in touch with Microsoft and big news will come out that is way more exciting than just the initial announcement, so stop polluting with negativity and instead do SOMETHING, ANYTHING productive.

Urgent need: everyone can help to crunch some numbers for iota testing now.  The test will need 729 cores to compute some numbers. Each one will get a separate task from cfb. You can get your tasks here - http://chat.iotatoken.com/channel/numbercrunching

Thanks Tobo, try to step in in around 12 hours and help. Sounds interesting.
