IOTA

[madfox11]

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

keep on generating

Sounds like trolling :-) 36 generations and still zero

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

Could you please tell me working node?

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

I use only one address last year. Also I use my old seed. Last year wallet worked good with this seed...

Ok, thank you. Slack seems to be disconnected right now, so may be later...

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

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.

Right, where do I get that, I dont have any seed or address ,its the first time im using the wallet

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.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. But I think that part of generating new addresses is something not very comfortable by many users and they don't know how many addresses they need to generate to get back their old iotas. The total amount should at least need to link to the seed instead linking to addresses. I'm not a technical guy but I feel that not the right way to design a wallet and asking to generate old addresses to get their coins back.

Last question. If someone don't generate the addresses then what happens to all those tokens in his/her account? Automatically after sometime it will show up?

The tokens will always show up when the user generated the right address.

Absolutely right, current wallet is a reference implementation (I still think it rocks). I'm 100% sure that there will be a more newb friendly solution, and third party wallets.

Where do I go or waht do I do to create a seed for this wallet ?

You can do it yourself on paper or use an online random password generator

Im aware of that,I understood it,but where in the wallet I add it as a seed?

[Sampey]

why the automatic seed generator has been removed?
Are address generated with that seed insecure?

[amillere]

Iota seems to be a very exciting project!! Anyone knows at what exact hour will it be open for exchanges on Bitfinex tomorrow? Thx
