I note the release of yet another new wallet - and still no word of any form of help from anyone from the dev team who decided to "appropriate" IOTA in the form of a snapshot.
For all the FanBoi's here who are screaming support of this - wait until your IOTA dissapear in the next snapshot and see how great you feel about IOTA then.
Can you just imagine if you replace IOTA with Bitcoin, or Ethereum and the official story was that the Devs did a snapshot - They have your Bitcoin/Ethereum - and there is seemingly no way of getting them back - despite following what crappy instructions are put out.

Has anybody used the new wallet 2.5.6??? is it anygood?
I have. It’s fine. Only let’s you put in your seed, not your pass phrase. It’s really plain. My friend is willing to redesign it.
Still no payment from devs. Iota is a shit token run by thieves.
Ahhh kids wanna get rich , invest @ $5 , cash out @ $5k lol , all this coins is a joke

If IOTA devs are thieves then you shouldn't wait for your tokens. Why would a thief return something?
IOTA selected by Tokyo Metropolitan Government Program
We are really happy to announce that the IOTA Foundation has been selected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to participate in their accelerator program, aimed at helping IOTA get established in Japan and connect with local companies to work together on innovative new solutions for the Japanese and the global market.
Official Website: http://www.seisakukikaku.metro.tokyo.jp/bdc_tokyo/english/bizcamptky/blockchain/index.html
Official Press Release: http://www.seisakukikaku.metro.tokyo.jp/bdc_tokyo/assets/pdf/en/news-events/2017/20171222_2_blockchain.pdf
With the rapid growth of IOTA in Asia and the increasing interest of Asian companies to work with IOTA, we think that this is a unique opportunity for the Foundation to setup a dedicated, staffed office in Tokyo with support from the government and start working with the local ecosystem. Several of the Founders and Core Developers will frequent Japan during the program and the Foundation will setup several Meetups and Events to help kickstart IOTA’s growth in the Japanese community.
The program will last for 2 months, with several events on January 15th, February 23rd and March 16th. More than 18 Japanese companies are participating in this program and will be mentoring the selected companies. We are incredibly excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to work with the various stakeholders.

I'm testing the IOTA wallet and wow, I've had several instantaneous transactions, some have taken no more than 6 hours, considering it's free, it's amazing, I see it quite well after having tried many other purses, even with btc I've had transactions more than one day pending.
In the IOTA wallet, we must insist a lot on the search for a good node in the light purse for a good connection, it's amazing, great project.
Keep going !!!!

Stop scamming people.
IOTA is good for whales, whales are strong holders, not like general weak hands. I think liquidity of IOTA is quite good because it is listing on major exchanges.
Do you think whales trust their big money to alpha level technologie that might take weeks to transfer to an exchange if at all?
I know and can confirm whales don't care about temporary network congestion, wallet difficulties at all, since they aren't day trading but investing in future, and they do it after due diligence with full confidence, they are not in hurry to take funds out.
just in case if you are into crypto since early days, can you recall beginning of ethereum and monero?
I personally spent like 3 days taking my funds out of monero just because [mymonero] wasn't working and I had to go through downloading whole blockchain and do a lot of stuff to get my funds out of wallet via CLI/CMD.
I am here since quite a while but under a different account which I lost. I was mining bitcoin on CPU, lost some to the first MtGox hack in 2010 or so and unfortunately did not really believe in bitcoins success
Whatever...But even in that times bitcoin transfers have always been reliable and I understood the crypto behind it good enough to know the funds cannot get lost once they are in the blockchain. In the moment I do no have the same trust in IOTA. If it would work, the concept is great, but I do not see that it works like it should. And I am not sure if the current problems can be overcome or if it is a more general problem of the concept, not the implementation.
Not sure about that. I downloaded (IOTA Wallet-2.5.4.dmg) mine last night and did a test transaction from Binance without issue.
Can I get confirmation that this site: https://iotaseed.io
Is the official seed generator and SAFE? Also, I’m assuming it’s recommended to generate the seed offline or within a secure network environment?
And thanks to bitcoin unconfirmed tx I missed the big dip 😢

Don't use random online seed generators, too many people have been scammed. The only one, that is recommended is the one on this site and even then I would change some characters by hand: https://matthewwinstonjohnson.gitbooks.io/iota-guide-and-faq/getting-started/dl-wallet/what-is-my-seed.html
A lot of people use keepass to generate their seed, which is also fine.
@Come-from-beyond : while I can't assist the person claiming for repayment/stolen funds, would you be able to comment if my IOTAS are safe in my wallet [assuming that I don't look back for an year, and don't do reattachment and wallet upgrade for couple of months]
I have experienced it myself in past that when I upgrade to newer version of IOTA wallet my balance shows 0.00 at first, than I have to do generate new address / attach to tangle few times and my whole balance comes back again.
But I am concerned about the future, as I want to hold my IOTAs in my wallet for long term, is it okay to leave it as it is, without wallet upgrade/attach to tangle?

You get this zero balance thing only after a snapshot happened. With the new 2.5.5 wallet for example, your balance will show up without generating/attaching addresses, since there has been no snapshot recently. The Trinity wallet will make this an automated process afaik.
I think there is no guarantee, that you can forget about your IOTA for some time and come back and have them all available. IOTA is still under heavy development and it's nowhere near the final design in its current state. But Cfb can you give a better insight on that matter I think
Hi guys, so I finally got my iota to my wallet. I read somewhere that I had to do some maintenance? Is that true?
Not sure about that. I downloaded mine last night and did a test transaction from Binance without issue.
