Hi Reddit,
I created tip bot for Twitch! I now need you to test it, and spread a word about it.
You can see details on wiki page: https://www.reddit.com/r/iotaTwitchTip/wiki/index
When you have enough IOTA funds you can tip any users with command > "!tip @recipient +amount iota/miota"
You can also tip with $ amount like this >"!tip @recipient +$amount " or "!tip @recipient +amount USD/$".
When you tip like this, USD amount will by translated to IOTA amount with value shown on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iota/.
I need your suggestions about everything, wiki page, commands, messages...
Also, this bot is now hosted on my PC. If anyone want to help with hosting that will be great!
Purpose of this project is learning and further spread awareness of great IOTA project!
I started it, but let's together make this bot better.
Sorry for my not that good English. :)
Note that it's the same author on the same site who first called it a partnership. He's the one who created the fake news that he later called IOTA out on.
At least I never saw a mention of "partnership" before this article by MIX at TNW Then two weeks later the exact same guy on the same site posts this
I think it comes down to Bitfinex being a bit more selective about the currencies they deal with, basically they don't see IOTA as another garbage coin. Seems to be the case based on their announcement: https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/206
No it does not. By default the "Get-Random" method would get the seed as the [Environment]::TickCounts. And this property - defined by Microsoft (link here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.tickcount(v=vs.110).aspx) - get the uptime of your system as the seed ==> we can always regenerate the seed if we can determine the time (start with system on and powershell application on).
And I wrote this piece of article a few hours ago: https://steemit.com/iota/@bluephoenix/proposal-to-recover-iota-wallet-seed
What a nightmare.
In July, I bought IOTA on Bitfinex and then transferred it to my local Light Wallet on MacOS.
1) Transaction #1:
Date: 16th July
Adress: WJ9BXB9PUODPFCVLCMWLA9LYYVCNALBPOYYYDTIGSUTQLPANEEJBBRGSZLXWVGLO9OSEDFIVUMLSBH9GSOEHYUDRY9
TXID: MDZ9YPKDQJAOZRSPUHCGLKDKYLEGEOSBFYUWHCQAAYEWXSQUT9V9WFYAPORRVNVLTKITFRTGFNAQ99999
2) Transaction #2:
Date: 31th July
Adress: ATQYWKEYQVPOARAUAHCXUJCVHXVROWSVGSBURKKTA9HSFAGJYWFGEBDNJBUIERIGGSRPKHLSZLOGZIECWSRKJRXJPV
TXID: 9XPRIJTXOA9NPCKMBIEOZXZLLVSXSMVWYRSEVTPLNR9O9ZNDMHPYCUTJASKDPGEVRWXMVMJPGKOO99999
I completely missed the "transition".
I never made outgoing transactions from my local wallet.
None of the two adresses show up in https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmeb4B5AEi5MWTreKPRtufBFRFWRVTpZkBpX6FeaXCAe3B.
In order to get my IOTAs, beginning at 9th November, I attached 25 adresses to the old seed. Balance zero. (When logging in with this old seed, I do not see a checksum, but an exclamation mark next to the input field for the seed.)
On 18th November, I underwent the reclaim process as described. I also attached 6 adresses to the new seed. Process went fine. Balance still zero.
After days of reading FAQs, Reddit, blogs and the forums, trying every node available, I am completely clueless. Many people seem to have similar problems. No one seems to know a solution.
Do I have to consider my IOTAs lost? If not, where are they?
to be on the safe side you could use the keepass android keyboard when typing the seed which is open source and doesn't store stuff
For me the main obstacle is the poor wallet experience. How disconcerting for someone new to get the wallet, deposit their IOTA into it, and then discover the next day a zero balance!! They then go post to the discussion boards. Sure, it is a simple enough fix of attaching addresses to the tangle until the balance reappears, but the result is anyone who is first checking into IOTA from https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iota/ and goes to the message board sees a barrage of messages that makes it look like the whole IOTA world is falling apart!
I understand the M2M focus, and I applaud the team for all the amazing things they are doing, but I do wish more time could be devoted to making a wallet with a great user experience.
In the about section: "Files are uploaded on a distributed file system named IPFS. Logs and metadata are stored on an immutable distributed ledger named IOTA. IPFS allows files to be shared in an immutable and distributed way and IOTA makes sure that nobody can delete or alter the logs and metadata."
Bolshoi is already developing a hardware wallet for IOTA
https://steemit.com/iota/@bolshoi/bolshoi-comprehensive-iota-wallet-insert-your-bolshoi-wallet
Would be nice if IOTA was implemented in Mastodon, making it easy to send a tip etc. Mastodon is a decentralized and federated micro-blogging service built on Ruby on Rails, and is quite popular among tech savvy people (first adopters).
Yeah, it's a typo. It has been fixed, but iota.org does not have the updated version. Updated version is listed in the sidebar on the right:
I'll start with one I've recently started.
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff
It discusses the hold that the social media and tech giants have over our data, and a quest to predict and control us. Just a few pages in and it is eye-opening.
Perhaps, but focus on the market cap of the asset, not the price. It is not like the value of IOTA's technology is worth 1/1000 of Ethereum's.
https://coinmarketcap.com/ Always go by total marketcap when dictating value. Also note that this is just the markets perception of value, IMO IOTA market cap should be around 8B+, but one step at a time haha
For python, you can check out this free course for beginners. You can follow it in an app on your mobile device, or in a browser.
It Goes through Python step by step with community support (comment section in Every step of the coarse), which is helpful if things get hard.
It’s a really good start if you’re unfamiliar with the language and also programming in general.
Warning! Do not use any of the binaries (.exe or .msi files) as they may contain backdoors or pregenerated seeds. You are better off not using this seed generator all together.
Stick to the official links: https://matthewwinstonjohnson.gitbooks.io/iota-guide-and-faq/getting-started/dl-wallet/what-is-my-seed.html
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdqTgEdyKVQAVnfT5iV4ULzTbkV4hhkDkMqGBuot8egfA
Please DO NOT USE this app. ~~It is NO OFFICIAL wallet from the IF = FAKE (funds 100% LOST)! Maybe this is also the reason why they can't delete it.~~
Please use Trinity. Link for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iota.trinity
I suggest we make a strong, concerted effort to request that Ledger Nano S support IOTA.
https://trello.com/b/5nQ1mdzt/ledger-roadmap
Concern is appropriate now, more than joy at the prospect of a dip. This is the ONLY safe way to store coins.
>You literary teach yourself in a university. No one is standing behind you, no one is checking your homework. In fact not a single Prof. I had checked if you are present or not.Nobody cared. It is fully you responsibility to visit lectures, to force yourself to study etc, because if you dont, you lose.
And you feel you needed to pay for that? You do know that most every subject available has the necessary books and lectures online? So what exactly did you pay for if you could force yourself to get through the lectures and courseware on your own? Seems like you are making my point for me.
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bolshoi/bolshoi-comprehensive-iota-wallet-hello-world
Plus the IOTA wallet they offer on their site. I don't know if I want to go the VPN route with Bitfinex. Just hoping that Bittrex picks up IOTA much sooner than later.
The files are currently uploaded on IPFS and downloads are logged on IOTA. This way it’s immutable and decentralized (you could use any public ipfs gateway like https://ipfs.io/ipfs/your_hash to request the files. IOTA also makes sure that nobody can delete the logs. (Of course currently, they are still removed after a snapshot.) Furthermore, we are using the Web Crypto API to fully encrypt the files in your browser (not on the server like most other solutions).
- Open AWS account https://aws.amazon.com
- Download the Cloudformation template by going to this page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iotFab/iota-aws-full-node/master/cloudformation.yml and hitting cmd/ctlr+s (or save from your browser menu)
- In AWS, go to Cloudformation > Create stack. Select "Upload a template to Amazon S3" and upload the file you just saved.
- HIt "next", name your stack and then keep hitting "next" and eventually "create"
That's it
These are the only known exchanges. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iota/#markets
Bit520 is in China. And IOTAexchange looks complicated. Trying to figure it out now. Look like you have to ask for invite via Slack.
No, the correct generator is the specific IPFS link mentioned:
The fraudulent phishing style malware is designed to look like the same thing, but the URL does not link to the above IPFS file.
iota-help is a scam site. It should be reported to Google.
Your IOTA seed is like your private key (similar to bitcoin and ethereum). It is 81 Characters in length. With it you can open your wallet on any computer and generate addresses on which to receive IOTA.
How to create a seed

Much less expensive from www.pin64.org if you want to do the install yourself (almost half the price).
Everything but the SSD is $82.83 USD
Same SSD is $38.68 USD on Amazon... If you only need a 64GB SSD, you can pay as little as $25.
I'm testing the IOTA beta client on android, seems to work very similar to the windows light wallet, haven't extensively used it but so far I haven't had an issue with it

IOTAPAY is a concept developed by me (https://dribbble.com/scandicdesign). IOTAPAYs purpose is to make cryptocurrency more accessible and user-friendly for the end consumer. IOTAPAY is a mobile based app which makes is possible to transfer the crypto via smartphones. The idea behind it is to have an application which has a creditcard registered + your personal user information. If you want to send... Say $50 to a stranger which you do not know the name of, but you know their SEEDid (Also IOTAPAY concept) you can make a transfer via the IOTAPAY application. The money will be drawn from your bank account, converted to IOTA, sent to the tangle as a registered transaction, converted back into $ and sent to the individual you wanted to send it to. The receiver will not know your name or anything els other then your personal SEEDid. If the receiver wishes to "request sender information" he or she can do this - but you will have the option to cancel this request if you wish not for him to know who you are.
I am waiting for this one:
https://medium.com/iota-ucl/the-iota-wallet-time-for-a-refresh-d4207a16ea5f
But work on a hardware wallet goes on too:
Nobody seems to know. The initial Bitfinex announcement in August seemed to allude to the fact that the announcement was targeted at Verified US customers. But the October announcement wording was usually just "US Individual" customers, and the word "verified" was only in the document once:
https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/227
I'd be reluctant to hold anything on the exchange. Mind you, I don't think it's a good practice to hold any significant amounts of coins/tokens on exchanges anyway. But for an event like this, I'd just take the precautionary option of moving away if I'm American. There are lots of other exchanges out there. A combination of Binance and Bittrex will allow you to buy just about everything that Bitfinex trades, I believe.
The above link is a referee link which will give Schwa142 the opportunity to earn money if you use it to create a new account. He is spamming this link all over reddit and always forgets to mention that he is trying to make money. Nothing wrong with referee links in general, but trying to trick people into using them is not nice.
This, is my referee link. If you use it to make an account I might earn a small amount of money. You will have no disadvantages or advantages by doing so.
Here is a solution for you my friend. IOTA can operate offline and it has bluetooth so it can connect to other Internet connected devices as mobilephone etc when available. Use remote PoW and you would have a cheap portable device that they have a wallet in, can call with,flashlight etc. We also have internet sharing projects ongoing in IOTA, so adoption could go faster then you think.
If you use my #africanegg idea you can even help them get going with IOTA.
​
:)
Here is the actual announcement: https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/216
I would imagine it is 90 days after the August 11th announcement. Just move your IOTA to a wallet and you are good. They are no longer accepting verification requests but are still allowing accounts to be made. If you already have an account that is verified, I am not sure how that is being handled. I have an unverified account. I am still trading but I am moving my funds to wallets.
Bitfinex still has your IOTAs and they will probably keep an old DB running so they can verify such claims that people send them through tickets at https://www.bitfinex.com/support.
You don't need to worry, just create at ticket and wait. :-)
I think we are progressing really well on the translations. https://crowdin.com/project/iota-ucl-wallet/
If you can support any major languages, reach out to Navin or Rajiv on discord #trinity channel.
Thanks, for your remarks, I edited the translation! This was translated with DeepL an AI-based web translator. It's really good, and I guess it detected the words "Reichsbank" and "Krone" as proper nouns correctly, and thus didn't translate them to english, which in this case would be what the original author did in the german article (from swedish to german).
Unless you used uncommon spellings (not real words and not found in any hacker word lists), then the sentence can be composed and tested rather quickly. But with enough words, then it is going to take longer ... how long depends on how many words.
If the dictionary is a good one with ones from many languages ... say 1,493,677,782 words from all languages and books ever printed, and the words had some sort of ranking to determine the ones worth checking first ... like this list https://crackstation.net/buy-crackstation-wordlist-password-cracking-dictionary.htm ... then it might take a long time.
The problem is that with 81 characters, it is easier to eliminate many words from being checked to meet the length of each test.
I'd imagine that's the the worst way to make something quantum proof.
Instead, I would make the SEED from a secure random generator, then pass it through a BIP39 converter to provide a BIP39 word list as a backup that is easy to read and hard to mess up entering somewhere.
I wonder what the forum at https://hashcat.net/hashcat/ would answer to your question?
Every crypto is stored in a wallet and every wallet has a private and public key. The public key is the address everyone sees and you can share with people to send and receive funds. The private key in iota is used to generate the public wallet, so all you need to create a new wallet (something you can give as a gift) is the private key.
To generate a key go to https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdqTgEdyKVQAVnfT5iV4ULzTbkV4hhkDkMqGBuot8egfA (this is generator linked in the side bar). It generates iota compatible private keys. You can disable your internet and change swap a letters in the generated key to make it more random and secure.
Punch that private key into the official iota wallet (use your computer or phone to dl the wallet). Generate a new public address from your private key using the receive button. That output is what you can paste into the gift card template and also paste the private key. You need to make a new private key for every gift card you want to make.
This generator generates a private and public seed in the browser so you dont have to dl the wallet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Iota/comments/6xltil/iotapaperz_new_paper_wallet_generator/
Once you have your wallets, go to binance and withdraw iota. Withdraw/send it to the public addresses you created. You should be able to track the wallets on the tangle explorer.

I just had to google to find out what the hell you are talking about.
Found a great explanation of ternary processors here: https://dev.to/buntine/the-balanced-ternary-machines-of-soviet-russia
Interesting read, thanks for taking me down this rabbit hole!
I'm pretty sure I had used the Android Iota wallet beta to generate my seed way back when (link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.iota.wallet)
should I be generating my own seed if this is the case? Or is it fine??
Don't think there is a compatible wallet for ChromeOS (except you want to compile it yourself). But afaik it is possible to run Android Apps on it, right? In that case you could use the android wallet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.iota.wallet
Hey, Airbnb is up to 20% fee actually. https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1857/what-are-airbnb-service-fees That being said, we have a system that is laid out to lead to 0% fees after just a few transactions. Every user starts at a 5% fee level, which is then lowered by 0.2% with every booking and positive review. So let's say you host someone and get a positive review and then take a trip yourself and get a positive review, this means your fee level has just dropped to 4.2%. I know it's not perfect that we don't start out at 0% fees, but it's our way of bootstrapping this project and an alternative doing a nonsensical ICO.
Ha ha, glued for only 5 hours? Call me when you've been there 30 hours. I'm still going. It's really a terrible thing all of this.
Vote for Ledger Nano to support IOTA. If we survive...
That's not unique to cryptocurrency. Each USD banknote has its own unique serial number. Rarely, that can lead to real differences in value.
The issue date can also cause problems:
>Before going to Indonesia and Vietnam with Zegrahm Expeditions in early 2010, they said the Indonesia tourism office told them we had to have “new money.” I checked at our bank and found out that what was acceptable was clean, unmarked, untorn bills printed in 2006 or later, those with the Secretary of the Treasury signature of either Henry Paulson or Timothy Geithner.
Despite these exceptions, paper money is fungible for the most part, so it doesn't make very much sense to dwell on the fact that not every banknote is guaranteed to be perfectly fungible for all time.
Ohhhhh... Ok... Snapshots basically hack out unnecessary history while preserving balances in order to keep the Tangle lightweight... Every full node has the snapshot locally then builds on top of it...
Being that the snapshot was still on my node... I technically didn't have to shut down because my node isn't public... I use it for testing and to get a better understanding of how IOTA works... I can still send/receive, etc. . . Check out for a better understanding of snapshots:

The market capitalization is the number of outstanding tokens (or shares when talking stock) times the price of one unit.
For example, if token x has 1 million tokens outstanding, and you can get one of those tokens for $1, the market capitalization of that token is $1 million.
https://coinmarketcap.com/ - Here are current market caps in the crypto world.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketcapitalization.asp - definition and more examples.
People often make the mistake of looking at the price of a crypto or equity without thinking, "ok, that's how much one costs, but how many of these things are out there?" Remember, all of these prices are simply based on supply and demand.
They paid me back in full after last year's hack, but they don't even know my first name. So I trust 'em.

Thought about testing out the Chinese one, but we share the same 24-hour trade volume for IOTA... so non merci.
Peace.
You can use wiki, watch lectures or even participate in online courses for free, also there are usually forums dedicated to a topic where you can ask questions. Most Ivy League schools offer free lectures, so there's no reason that you can't get an equal footing as someone with more access--some professors will even answer questions or give feedback if you email them or join a study group. The internet is a massive resource and all you need to do is look for answers, once you gain an understanding, you usually have more questions, so you just keep looking...
*Also, it's sometimes a good idea to buy the book(s) in the syllabus so you can follow along, but usually you can find the same material online--and though that is usually more time consuming, it also opens you up to ideas that aren't necessary inline with the professor's views.
So basically, IOTA and the tipbot will directly compete with Steemit (where you can earn crypto based on the popularity of your content)... should I sell my STEEM and buy more IOTA ?
Thanks again, the slack channel gave me some pointers (switch node) and an instruction, and i have my iota back. @TS, i changed host to node03.iotatoken.nl:15265 and also activated my graphics card (https://steemit.com/iota/@tector/iota-light-wallet-2-5-1-dealing-with-invalid-transaction-hash).
Yes your Seed is all you need to login to use your IOTA stash on the IOTA network. You can login using any of the wallet clients that are currently updated to work on the network. (Android and GUI desktop client are only ones working right now to my knowledge IOS coming soon)
There is a hardware wallet coming by BOSHOI hopefully soon. https://steemit.com/iota/@bolshoi/bolshoi-comprehensive-iota-wallet-insert-your-bolshoi-wallet
Theres already a hardware wallet in progress for IOTA by BOLSHOI there was a post on this just the other day.
https://steemit.com/iota/@bolshoi/bolshoi-comprehensive-iota-wallet-insert-your-bolshoi-wallet
That being said, there is some work being done on the wallet front...
https://medium.com/iota-ucl/iota-wallet-refresh-onboarding-2f5ccd5e467a
And also a hardware wallet too:
https://steemit.com/iota/@bolshoi/bolshoi-comprehensive-iota-wallet-insert-your-bolshoi-wallet
Coinex also offers Iota, and as far as I recall, they are available in all 50 states. Unfortunately, their wallet is down, so they have locked deposits and withdrawals for several months.
Selfish mining in bitcoin leads to centralization issue, whereas selfish nodes in IOTA lead transactions to not being validated. This is not comparable.
Here are the ressources about selfish mining in btc: https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/guides/what-is-bitcoin-selfish-mining/ https://arxiv.org/abs/1311.0243

Meh, as long as David doesn't reach the leve of Linus Torvalds, we'll be fine.
Yep. IOTA is the only thing I have on there anymore. The UI is visually appealing, but not very intuitive and often buggy.
But mostly, they stole users BCC, and instead gave out 0.85 : 1 instead of 1 : 1 like Bittrex etc under the reasoning that a large volume of traders had BTC locked up in margin trading... Like WTF!?! You're stealing low risk traders BCC to cover high risk margin lenders that tied up their BTC around a well known and publicized fork? That's fucked up!
Also, made me think that they may actually have ~15% less BTC in cold storage than their users have deposited, meaning they got hacked again or are fractional reserving in some way. Either way, I will stop using Bitfinex entirely when IOTA is available elsewhere.
EDIT: Found the Bitfinex BCC blog post & updated the ratio in this comment
>The intent of the BCH distribution mechanism was to protect lenders who were already locked into loans at the time of the announcement and to avoid distributing negative balances to shorts on an uncertain value of an unproven digital asset.
>With this intent in mind, the BCH tokens were distributed with an adjusting factor to account for long/short imbalances in gross margin positions. Accordingly, as shorts would not have to ‘pay’ BCH, we believe it was fair and symmetrical to not credit margin longs, yielding an adjusting factor that historically seldom varies more than 10% when compared with gross balances.
> Heard rumours that bitfinex may remove it from the exchange.
Nope. US customers may not be able to buy/sell (but withdraw to wallet still allowed, most likely) after 60 or so days, but everyone else on Earth can still buy/sell.
From what I know as of now, you can't purchase IOTA outright with fiat currency (e.g. USD). You have to buy one of the bigger coins like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and then trade for iota on an exchange that lists it. The two major ones right now are Bitfinex mentioned above and Binance. I used Binance with no issues.
Here's a list of folders used by Trinity that can be deleted when you uninstall:

>Also remember, even with high random read speeds from disk a larger database takes longer to search and has higher RAM requirements.
The next version of IRI will introduce the cuckoo filter. It reduces the need for expensive database queries by using a set membership test. In a nutshell the cuckoo filter allows us to understand if data to be queried is in the DB in the first instance, and if not, avoids a DB query.
I wouldn't had guessed it's an outcome from a translation program ;) But there is always room for improvement regarding translators. Try this one
https://www.deepl.com/translator
It translates exceptionally well. Better than google.
There is no need to use the reclaim tool. If your wallet shows zero balance after a snapshot, just successfully reattach as many addresses as you previously had tokens on. So if you had 1 Giota on 3 addresses, just reattach 3 addresses until they're confirmed and your balance will show up again.
This is why it's beneficial to write down the addresses that you have tokens on. I recommend Keepass for that.
No hard wallets support Iota at this point in time so unfortunately no luck there.
This is the wallet that I use: https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/latest
It's the official one (also linked from eragmus' link).
When it comes to generating a seed (81 characters using only uppercase letters and the number 9), use keepass to generate and store your seed (I use the ver 2 variants). https://keepass.info/
Another alternative is to put your Iota into Bitfinex and enable all of the security features on those accounts. Probably not quite as secure as generating and storing your own seed, but handy from the point of view of not needing to transition balances when wallet upgrades come through. Iota is at beta stage so things get a bit buggy and frustrating from time to time.
Whatever you do, do not generate your seed online. There seems to be plenty of sites that are generating and storing seed combinations which are looting unsuspecting iota holders afterwards...
That's literally what Proof of Work was invented for, the paper from dwork and noar is 26 years old [1]. Not exactly revolutionary today. Hashcash by Adam Back [2] even combined it with a token to "pay" for unmetered resources (first published in 97)

Even with 1% inflation reward it does not provide enough incentive for other miners to move to mining IOTA compared to other coins.
Consensus in blockchain and DLT is different, IOTA uses the ‘gossip’ protocol in validating transactions thus, having miners storing transactions history to achieve consensus with whole network would slow down the network significantly and would not achieve scaling , same as the problems with other blockchains At this point it would already be called a hybrid blockchain
On the other note, here is something inspired by IOTA https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUy4jh5mGNZvLkjies1RWM4YuvJh5o2FYopNPVYwrRVGV
Your IOTA seed is like your private key (similar to bitcoin and ethereum). It is 81 Characters in length. With it you can open your wallet on any computer and generate addresses on which to receive IOTA.
How to create a seed
Generate your seed on linux:
cat /dev/urandom |tr -dc A-Z9|head -c${1:-81}
Generate your seed on Mac:
Open Terminal and type or paste the following then press enter:
cat /dev/urandom |LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'A-Z9' | fold -w 81 | head -n 1
Generate your seed online:
You can generate your seed online using this website https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdqTgEdyKVQAVnfT5iV4ULzTbkV4hhkDkMqGBuot8egfA
- Be extremely careful when using online services.
Warning:
Keep your seed private, do not share this with anyone.
Did you have balance in them before October 23rd? In that case your balance may have moved to the IOTA foundation's wallet.
Check: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmeb4B5AEi5MWTreKPRtufBFRFWRVTpZkBpX6FeaXCAe3B to see if your addresses are in here.
If so follow this to claim your balance: https://blog.iota.org/gui-v2-5-2-latest-release-with-iota-reclaim-tool-32d364d6241a
It's best if you choose a truly random seed. One of the most trusted ways to do so is going on this website https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdqTgEdyKVQAVnfT5iV4ULzTbkV4hhkDkMqGBuot8egfA , turning off wifi, generating the seed, copying it to some other app, changing 5-10 digits randomly, and using that as your seed.
Not just October list, but also September list. Both lists, right?
How do you mean creating your own seed? Unless it’s cryptographically secure and truly random, then it is an insecure seed.
This produces secure seeds:
If you use a tool like this, it can show the security of the created seed:

Do you know one of your addresses that should for sure have funds on it? Check if you find in this list : https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmeb4B5AEi5MWTreKPRtufBFRFWRVTpZkBpX6FeaXCAe3B
Note: It may be necessary to remove the last 9 characters of your address to be able to find it in the list.
If you found it, check the "category" behind it. If it says "curl_unused" or "key_reuse", your funds got moved to a address controlled by the foundation.
In that case you have to wait until they release their claim tool / the next wallet version.
Your coins are not lost.
Remember, you have to do it as many times as the number of addresses and transactions you had before the snapshot. Could be 10 times, could be 50 times.
Also, search for the first 5 letters of your address with balance in this list: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmeb4B5AEi5MWTreKPRtufBFRFWRVTpZkBpX6FeaXCAe3B
is it in the category KEY_REUSE or CURL_UNUSED? Then wait for the recovery tool of the next wallet version to get it back.
Look for the "destination" or "to" address in bitfinex and then search for that address here. If you find it, it is currently in the hands of the IOTA foundation and as I understand it, the process for withdrawing your funds will be made available soon.
the ternary system with the jinn has 3 states oszillating around zero so - 0 + this gives a big advantage for self-regulating networks like the tangle is. a good read is this: https://dev.to/buntine/the-balanced-ternary-machines-of-soviet-russia
You can chose one of the two transactions you want to reference (usually indirectly) in some cases, by promoting or passing a reference for the random walk to start from. Also this is worth the read ;) https://hackmd.io/s/Skow-8Hb7#
Just in case someone else makes the same mistake I did and confuses it with the official new wallet, it´s not the official new wallet (doh) - this is the official new wallet:
https://medium.com/iota-ucl/iota-wallet-refresh-onboarding-2f5ccd5e467a
carrIOTA is an ambitious 3rd-party project by semkodev.com
If I'd qualify to give you any tips I'd strip about 99% of the features right now and just concentrate on the wallet + auto-attach feature to release that first. Like I said before make the system modularized and pluggable and you have a good base to start. Take your time to design the system properly, don't hurry the code (even if it´s a throw-away prototype).
Beside the public GitHub repo you might want to set a collaboration platform up for the community even before it to help with the conception and planing (or maybe just for yourself) - I'd personally recommend Taiga for that:
Written in Python with Django, you should feel at home here.
Just my 2 cents. Cheers! :)
After a google search I came upon this:

Looks like a lovely minimalistic chat app, but after following the QR code above, the person on the other end never messaged me back.

Edit: Also, can I have mine with a side of onion rings (TOR ��)!
I use Bitdefender Mac Total Security, LittleSnitch, NordVPN and WPA2 for my internet security.
Also keeping all my keys on encrypted USB flash drives and Nano, so I don’t have that information saved in the cloud or on my Mac.
Not sure if this is the best setup though, so I too would appreciate tips and feedback if anyone here are cybersecurity experts.
All websites where you can buy IOTA merchandise are being added here: https://trello.com/b/sSu81r4C/iota-community-developments
@ElGrobiaciano Let me know when your website is up and I will add to the list :) #IOTAstrong
IOTA is now being added to Ledger Nano S, see the progress of the implementation on the official "Ledger roadmap trello board" trello.com/c/wsK0myEm/52-monero-support!

I don't know if you can migrate using this app, you may need to migrate on a PC using desktop version, but the only functional mobile wallet for IOTA currently is TanglePay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cat.iota
Hello everyone, I always use Binance to purchase most of my Crypto and specially IOTA
But once if i get this suspended withdraw issues i always seek to plan B and it's : https://changenow.io
I know they charge a quite more for fees but they don't ask you for any KYC or such, one of the fastest platforms for me for emergency withdraw cases, I hope this helps
Yes definitely. I cant be certain that that large wallet is an exchange though as it hasn't moved funds in a long time other than for chrysalis. I was also doing some further research and came across this website:
https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/miota/overview
Supposedly some exchanges are doing cross-exchange transfers and large whale wallets could be confusing people of what is and what isn't an actual exchange wallet. Difficult to track when you can only go back so far on tangle explorer.
The ~ symbol means "around", so around 50 cents. This thread is more about the difference between the two units of measurement rather than the price, which changes frequently anyways.
EDIT: And it's definitely MIOTAs which are worth 0.55$ each, not IOTAs. Check out #9 on Coin Market Cap here and notice how they refer to the number and value of MIOTA.
I don’t know where you got bitpanda from but if you go on binance then you can trade your other crypto for 0.1% https://www.binance.com/en/fee/schedule
Combine this with a possibility to convert your fiat into BTC/ETH for 0% on pro.coinbase, I would say you pay nowhere near 2% for an IOTA tx.
