IOTA

[Ayertosco]

I have a problem...i migrated to the 2.4 wallet and received my 2.0 Gi. I tried to send my Giota to bitfinex and it took forever, i tried to reattach the tangle and rebroadcast but nothing. Today, i open my wallet and the balance is 0, with 0 transfer and 0 adress. The seed is the right one (the new one after the migration)...my Iota are gone and they don't show up in the wallet or Bitfinex.

Done, really thanks

Hi, I use the IOTA Mac Wallet since about a month, is there anything I need to to? Update, new download? Can I just use my seed to get access then?

Thank you in advance

wouldn't flash channel hinders iota's tangle growth? as i understand the more people uses the iota network the faster it would become. Can the flash channel affect the network? thanks

good question. Deserve to be addressed in the channel #tanglemath of the slack.

[jophytz]

or maybe the flash network is just like the coordinator it will be taken down once mass adaption is achieved?

I probably found the reason for the problem - but it has not solved yet. A nice person on Slack channel helped me. I just post this in order to give people the information which facing the same problem.

The balance is showing zero because it's very likely sent to a foundation address. As far as I understood, this happend when you had an unconfirmed or double spend transaction while the snapshot was conducted. I remember that one of my last actions on v2.4 was that I sent a tx where I got notified that it is double spend (probably because there were some previous transactions which had not been confirmed at the time). But I sent anyway. I closed the account and days later I updated to 2.5.1.

So I assume that my credit is on the Foundation address. In the next days there should be a recovery tool released with which the balance can be restored.

I already went to 2.4. Version I used before was 2.4. I am just applying the script you suggested, but I already created 100+ addresses now and still zero balance. I am sure I have never created more than 40 addresses with the same account on 2.4. This is very strange.

So you had your full balance when on 2.4 (and you did change your seed in the transition when moving to 2.4)?

Yes, I had my balance on 2.4. I did not change my seed. I stored it on several places and I compared all, so the seed is correct. Unfortunately, I do not know on which of the around 40 created addresses I received my IOTA months ago. So I could not check if the IOTA were tranferred ( I mean a probable hack ). Is it possible to see the total balance of all addresses of a particular seed outside the client, like on the tangle explorer?

My opinion of IOTA is that it if great future project... I have some but think it will be time to buy more along the way. At this moment internet of things is not something we use massively in everyday life, but IOTA is making great foundations to be an industry leader in this area so as a long term investemt IOTA is real deal.

There is also a list of addresses which were used too often and thus vulnerable: https://cdn.rawgit.com/schierlm/b5a15d337d8029791e0d9e572c4020bb/raw/0e5d76721723a957e9c4e4e3c567db0bb4aa7ddb/key_reuse.html

Reclaim procedure is in the works.

Some iota adoptions have been mentioned in this recent Iota Berlin meetup - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SVTOHdrsJ-U

This is a tiny analysis of the past 3 tangle snapshots from:

    9th June
    8th August and
    22 September

I have used the official snapshots published on the IOTA’s forum for community validation. Below are some interesting findings:

The total amount of addresses with positive balance grew from 4080 in June to 22245 in August and 51886 in September. For the past 3 months this value more than doubled on monthly basis.

I got my first IOTA in August 2016. I have kept them by today. In my country it is required to report incomings of crypto to the finance authority in order to legalize it and not being accused to do money laundry. I want to do this (don't worry, the expected tax is low compared to the value of IOTA). I tried to retrace my current IOTA back to August 2016 and failed. I think it is because the multiple transitions and the totally deleted tangle.

Can I retrace my current IOTA to August 2016 without having a gap like I can do on a blockchain?

Yes, upgrade to the new GUI v2.5.1 which was released just yesterday. If you don't want to miss important updates I recommend that you join the announcements room of the official slack group and/or the telegram news-only feed: https://t.me/iotatoken  
(I leave notifications on... nothing like getting a mandatory update alert at 4:00 a.m.  )

[HomoHenning]

Since I updated to v2.5 today I can not see my account balance anymore. It is 0. I have created 96 addresses now. I am sure I had around 30-40 addresses created for the account before the update. One week ago I logged in last time and my balance was fine. Any hints what to do?

See my post above with the video on the Reddit script  

52 Attempts, and did not work. Someone knows how I can recover my 100 miotas, they were in the 2.3 portfolio and I could not transfer to 2.4. Is there a way to recover?

If you were still on the 2.3 version and never 'officially' went to 2.4, you have some more work to do, I think. One of the things that was done in that 'upgrade' was users having to give up their old seed and transitioning to a new seed. I think that is what is giving you trouble now (I assume you never upgraded your old '2.3 seed', right?).

It was last week that I entered the world of IOTA, I bought 100 miota of a person and my wallet was already installed in version 2.3, I tried this whole week to make the transition of a new seed, but it always remained "pending" and never confirmed .

look here:

Complete Newbie, I apologize in advance if I offend anyone.

I obtained a 2.4 Wallet a week ago and successfully sent a bunch of Iota there and it did display the correct balance, and under History it did display the correct History as to Transfer History and Addresses History.
Of course, now a week later there shows No Balance, 0 History Transfers and 0 Addresses History.

That begs the first question, since now I find out that literally thousands of wallet holders are experiencing the same problem, why would such a Wallet ever have been released in the first place?? And we know this is not something particular to 2.4 Wallet, this situation has been going on since the beginning AND it's still going on with the newest Releases!! WTF
The Slack and here are inundated with Iota holders wanting answers and no one seems to provide any concrete solutions and yet they just keep issuing new Wallet updates. How about testing the Wallets before you actually release them, you think!

Okay, now I have Zero Balances in my Iota Wallet...... when I have a BTC address I can just look at the History of that particular Address through Blockexplorer/blockchain.info/etc., and see all the History/ transactions /Balances of that particular Address, But apparently that's too difficult to do here with Iota? Really? And please don't suggest Iota.tips, that does no good at all. Put an all purpose Iota BlockExplorer right on the front  page  of your main website so everyone has the same ability to look at their Wallet Address.

Devs and Founders, if you ever want have a really viable and mainstream coin that the general public can take to as an investment or useful asset/currency etc., then these simple enormous oversights have to be solved Before you move forward with other developments.

If I understood correctly, a wallet that solves these issues will be released soon(TM).

Do you prefer the devs focus on the core tech or on marketing, fancy website and wallet? Think about this.

@iotainv

You just need to update your wallet into  2.5.1 and attach/generate some adresses, and your problem is solved   , its a no brainer to collect this information.

https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/tag/v2.5.1

You should consider to take part on slack, all informations are easy available.

Funds will never be lost until you dont lose your seed or hand it out to known or unknown persons.

Please notice,, IOTA is not a human to human coin project like other several 100 out there, its a new tech build for the Machine Economy  M2M Business,  if you buy and hold IOTA than you have to follow the news and project itself.

I hope you re not a troll with your comment because of the new created account. If so, than its sad to see these efforts, really... you should save your energy.

What a waste of time to spread uncertainties.

Havent been in here a while...

Any news the last couple  of weeks?


How is IOTA still not on more exchanges??

Many people have the issue. As I have learned reading the last pages there is a wanted reason The tangle was completely deleted because it was like a hard fork. It has been taken a snapshot of all balances at a particular point. Technically, unconfirmed transactions at the time of snapshot do not belong to one or another account. Thus they had to transferred to a special account what is controlled by the foundation I guess. Read the previous pages. There is information that helps you to get it better.
