IOTA

[GeSh]

Others are in the same situation as you.

There are a few people who have neglected to properly claim, although this becomes a smaller number every day. Nearly everyone has been able to claim properly. We're talking well over 90%

Unlike the "4 months" that David claims people had, people who DID follow the first claim process got an email 2 weeks before the launch. So people had 2 weeks, not 4 months. For some reason, this email went out 10 days after the information was already in the forum, not sure why.

Don't choose to participate in a project that actively encourages engagement, and then complain about claiming windows on the order of weeks in your proposed scenario.

Now David aka Iotatoken  makes guilty people for missing  2 week window after the patiently waited for a long time. He think anyone not technical is a pleb and beneath him. So unprofessional. He ignores people messages and never responds. He should not be a face of IOTA if he is so degrading. People may never get the IOTA they are owed while David and his buddies sell tokens on OTC.

This abomination of a forum is not the medium in which to interact with the IOTA team. Email the official IOTA team, join the slack and request help, or join the IOTA forum and do the same. It takes just a modicum of effort.

I will say that they don't make it easy and there were lots of bumps along the way, but I did get my IOTA to show up again.  Get on the IOTA slack and someone will help you eventually, but you have to have a lot, and I mean a lot of patience with IOTA.  That being said, I wouldn't say they've stolen any crypto from anyone.

I want everyone to try to contemplate how IOTA would look if the number one priority was to help people who didn't bother to claim in time and do hands on daily tutoring rather than actually create the technology... It is *us* not *you* who has to have an insane amount of patience with people who didn't bother to follow the right procedures in the first 4 months and thus ended up costing us tens of hours of manual work that could've been much better spent on doing productive things.

ok I understand that but:

1) I was not aware of the need to convert the iotas again to a new address (re-claim). (There is no information letter)
 
2) This conversion process seems not easy to do (you write "tens of hours of manual work") I did not know that.

ok I apologize for having used the word dishonest to qualify the iota team.

What is the process to make this conversion ? Can I do it myself ?

you got your parties muddled up. participating in a high tech project like IOTA is NOT the same as booking a guided tour in Disneyland or a caribbean cruise.
in a caribbean cruise, you can expect to be catered for each and every whim your sorry ass can come up with, and you can complain if the linen is not fresh every day and if the Margerita pitcher remains empty for more than 5 minutes.

Does the computer have to have an open input port for claiming? I thought it should work withouth, because its a light wallet...
I did last night and there was no confirmation after the whole night, so I guess because of the port?

Make sure you're using 2.1.1

so no 2.2 ok

hm... I tried it now 2 times with 2.1.1 and it went through but was pending for a long time. I replayed and rebroadcasted without success. I have now 4 transfers pending nothing confirmed... so sure, that I don't need an open port?

Network topology is very poor at the moment for a number of reasons. It's recommended that you replay unconfirmed transactions after every hour or two that they remain unconfirmed. This is a transient state of the network, so be sure to educate yourself on the reasons if you're interested. If not, then just wait a certain amount of time for the network variables to change.

Can you elaborate them briefly here?
Will replaying it a few times after each other also help?

Sure, but try to do further reading for a better understanding.
Reasons for slow network:
Poor topology - The #1 most important thing to understand about IOTA is that it's a complete paradigm shift from what you're used to. When node neighborhoods are shoddy, poorly kept up with, and poorly connected, it's very difficult to get transactions humming. This is exacerbated when the entire network is just a handful of full nodes, as it is right now. One of the biggest fixes for this problem is simply organic growth of the network.

Very few transactions - Every transaction sent requires two others to validate it before being confirmed. When there are 2 transactions per minute, waiting for 2 validators can take a very long time. Again, paradigm shift! As the network contains more and more transactions, confirmation times go down while network capacity increases. The worst these things will ever be is right now. Fix: organic growth leading to increased number of transactions per minute.

There might be a few other more technical reasons for slow network right now, but the above two are the most important to understand in the context of a forum like this.

Hello,

1/

When there is snapshotting, it means that the core team propose a new "tangle file".

Is there any routine to check the conformity of the new tangle with the old one ?

I wonder if it would be possible someone propose a fake snapshotting.

2/

With IOTA, there is no incentive to hold a full node ?

3/
Just my opinion, no one evolution of bitcoin will happen. it's too big for evolution. It will stay a currency to save capital. The price will incease with time....until IOTA comes.

In the future, each node will theoretically snapshot whenever they need to without relying on trust of a third party. Perma nodes will always be available for traversal of the entire history of the Tangle if necessary for certain on chain projects.

2/

There is no direct financial incentive, you are correct. This is the same as Bitcoin. However the indirect incentive for running a node is to 1) not have to connect your light client to someone else's host and be at the mercy of their node remaining online, and 2) support the distributed nature of the network, without which the underlying currency that you hold is worthless.

still trying to replay. 14 pending transfers showing already...
I hope this will work before the deadline...

[mirador17]

I think that these problems are solved with the new client version. I read in the slackchannel, that the tests go very well.Maybe its better if you wait few days of the new one.

Have you tried spamming after replaying? It worked very well for me.

Hi guys can someone help me, i claimed my iotas long time ago, and i have them in the wallet with the version "0.9.25-delta", i know its old, but is there a chance to get them on the actual "chain" ? i guess i missed to claim them again in the past?

Is there still a chance to get them?

Thanks

If all else fails, join the IOTA slack and I can walk you through the process step-by-step.
