First of all update to 2.3 if you haven't already. Then just go to "receive" and keep generating addresses, you balance will eventually show up.

In my 2.3 wallet I had around 23 iota and I upgraded to 2.5 version and was about to transfer my Iota from slack to this wallet but now wallet shows zero. And all my earlier transactions are not showing. It looks like a new account. Anyone else also facing these issues?

Is this wallet still not stable yet?

This is the latest release https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Where do you see a version 2.5? You need to generate some adresses after login with your old seed.

I have the same problem. wallet is empty no transaction record. any advise?

Generate enough addresses, and your balance should reappear ...

Is this a bug in their system? Are they very sure that these lost iotas will recover back by everyone? Because if anyone got a lot of iotas in their wallet and they don't see them in the wallet it will be a big shock to new investors. After waiting my more than one hour time I get back my iotas.

It's not a bug per se. The wallet could be a bit more informative, but the wallet is a reference client after all, it's as simple as can be. The dev team provides basic functionality, and other wallet creators can add more sugar on top.

Your seed is a source of an almost infinite number of deterministic addresses. When you ask your seed for address #1, it will always give the same address. When you ask it for address #2, it will always give the same address. Also, when you send IOTA tokens, the change amount goes to the next address, for example #3. Now all your balance is in address #3.

When you delete the database and install a new version (or install IOTA to a new computer), it doesn't know which addresses you have already pulled from the seed, so it will display address #1, which is empty, as your tokens are on address #3. Now you need to generate the address #2, and finally address #3 before you get to the address holding your tokens.

Anyone cares to sell me 5 Gi for 0.5btc  ?

Bought some IOTA from the marketplace section a while back, only to find the guy was a scammer. Lost my BTC back then.. 

Guys, do you know what was the ICO price for IOTA? Also, what is the unit of IOTA in exchanges? I mean, if it's G iota please post the ICO price for one such unit.

It will be megaiota. The ICO raised 1337 btc, and there are in total 2'779'530'283,277761 miota, you can make your own calculations

Every megaiota = 48 satoshi then.

I hope people don't get fooled by these stupid OTC prices.

Well two years have passed, I guess you must also be enraged because of current btc and eth prices compared to then

So that means the ICO price was 48,000 satoshi (~$1.4 in current value) for 1 Giga Iota, correct? So if current prices are around .17btc/1G that would be a 35,000% increase?

You appears to be a guy I can trust, Where and how do I create a seed for my wallet?

[piebeyb]

I am waiting for great things IOTA launched and get live trading sites like bitfinex and other trading sites, at least poloniex and bittrex take trading sites for IOTA as well

[Sampey]

just installed latest wallet version. Clean installation. Run in light mode.
After imported my seed and attach address to tangle i got back my 1 Iota i received for testing purpouse.
BUT the TX in HistoryTab is not show. In History Tab there are only TX of 0 Iota Amount and date = today.

Is it normal?
Thanks

Happy to be helpful!

The wallet used to have a seed generator, but was removed in the last update because of security reasons, anyway you can still use another randomizer to generate the seed, every seed with the following properties is valid and accepted:

81 characters, capital letters and the number "9" (other numbers are not accepted)

Be careful to properly store your seed, since it is the backup/private key for your balance. In IOTA you can lose your PC, lose your wallet, lose your server but as long as you have your seed you are fine.

Just installed 2.3 light wallet, used my old seed from last summer. Generated 12 addresses already - still zero balance. What should I do?

There is a problem with seeds generated with the light wallet ?

Yes.
There was a snapshot just before. I am not a Iota expert, but only balances were saved. It is like pruning.

I wasn't, that's how it works are you sure the node you are connected to is synced with the network? Try a different one

Have you used many adresses in the last months ?
Otherwise, you made a typo error on your seed.
