Can someone help me?

I have updated my Iota wallet to the latest version and now it won't accept my password (seed)...Huh

Did you reinstall it already?

Yes I have install the latest wallet and now I cannot log into my wallet...has it happen to you? is there a way I can revert back to the old version because this is not good...

Strange. Maybe an old seed? What version is your old wallet?

How can I claim my IOTA with an old Seed?

If your Seed contains special characters (such as #!@ etc.) and is not comprised of only capital letters and the number 9, then you probably have an old Seed.


Edit2:
What kind of wallet do you use?  Light?  Are you connected to a server?

My previous wallet isn't that old its: IOTA.Wallet.Setup.2.3.0 and its light. I don't think I'm connected to a server? You mean which host I chose? If its the host then I probably chose bitfinix.

I follow the instructions so adding special characters are not allow. It's all lowercase and has #9. 78 characters in total. I have no problem logging into my old wallet but since i did this upgrade to version 2.3.1 i cannot. it doesn't accept it and says its invalid. in the FAQ section in the new version 2.3.1 in creating an account:

Creating a new account is as easy as generating a new, unique seed (consisting of 81 characters, only uppercase latin letters and the number 9 are allowed). You do not need to make your seed 81-chars long, but that is suggested. If you already generated a seed before you can enter it and access your account directly.

My seed should qualify, for exception of not meeting the 81 characters but its not a major requirement and not uppercase. I will try type it out in uppercase and see if it works. I still have the old IOTA.exe install file. I'll install it if it doesnt work.

I'll let you know if it works


It work!

I just have to input my seed in caps! For anyone that falls into the same scenario as I have. Please read the FAQ and input your seeds in caps for the new version IOTA wallet: 2.3.1

Thanks for your input/help Cryptory

Wow this sound very awesome. This and the roadmap definitely convinced me of IOTA. I will sell some Alts and invest in IOTA. The permanodes also mean that IOTA is in direct competition with projects like StorJ, Maidsafe or Siacoin? Of course IOTA uses a different approach but in principle one can do the same as with the named projects.
This project is literally the jack of all trades device.

Thanks for your extensive response. It answered my question. However a new quesiton arose. What is the maximum size of data which could be stored in the tangle with one single transaction? Since there are no fees I could theoretically store a mass of data without paying anything. If I got it right, it is just enough to confirm two other transaction to attach my transaction to the tangle.


There will be a size limit for Tangle. IOTA will use automatically local snapshotting to handle it. The full Tangle data can be stored in permanodes for long term storage. The Permanodes are like a storage marketplace on top of IOTA. But you have to pay for it. In this case, tangle is more like a transit real time data storage place like what happens in this use case - https://www.coindesk.com/trust-odometer-blockchain-test-aims-turn-tide-car-tampering/

I'm waiting for IOTA to actually go to bittrex or kraken trading sites, at least maybe other traders want that, hope we get it soon.

Why not using Bitfinex?

I still have an eye on IOTA since months, but I am too much into Byteball. It definitely makes more since to hold all my btc (or even buy more) and get free byteballs, than sell a little bit and buy IOTA instead.

But I think, when the Byteball giveaway ends, there can be a little switch over to IOTA. And that will be the point where I maybe start to invest a little bit.
Is there a date for the ending of the giveaway?

So far they have distributed around 36.6% percentage of coins, but they are planning to have more rounds until they distribute all 98%. You can find more details on their site. Yes, it is a good way to get some free coins of byteball. But if one wait to until they receive all free coins to invest in IOTA may be too late and end up paying more for IOTA. Best is buy small quantities whenever prices go down.

Since there are no fees I could theoretically store a mass of data without paying anything. If I got it right, it is just enough to confirm two other transaction to attach my transaction to the tangle.

I consider to buy IOTA, but I still have problems to understand it fully. I read about Carpass project and about Satoshipay what plans to switch from Bitcoin's blockchain to IOTA's tangle.
If I got it correctly, Carpass allows to observe cars by writing data into tangle, but how can data be stored? And if there is no need to pay fees, what value does IOTA tokens have? If I create a transactions with no fee, why do I need to own IOTA tokens then?

The data is stored in the Tangle which is the distributed ledger for IOTA. Basically you can do two things with IOTA, transferring data and transferring values(coins) with no transaction fees for both. When you do economic and business activities such as buying and selling resources (like data, storage, computing power) in the IOTA network which you can look as a marketplace, you need the iotacoins as the currency to settle the transactions (make the payment) although there is no transaction fees. So the more business activities, the higher demand of iotacoins, the higher value of iotacoins, based on the supply and demand relationship.

Netherlands energy giant Enexis to use IOTA store real time solar panel data  

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6296458243787104256/

Quote - “ Storing data (realtime production of my solar panels) in the Tangle #IOTA (IOTA Foundation). Awesome to see how it works, and how it can be done this easily. This really shows the capabilities of the tangle, and the opportunities it provides us: smart meters, charge points (eichrecht?), all kinds of other measurements in the (power) grid, along with all kinds of other metrics.

It depends on the amount of linked BTC, which is growing rapidly in the last rounds. I think last distribution round will be in October.

BTW: With 1 BTC you get around 30 to 70 $ worth of GBYTE. So a 1-3% dividend per month. With the current volatility of BTC this is not a good reason to wait three months till buying IOTA.
