Iota has good project but in the real world it doesn't work.
I lose 1127 iota, at current price 0.26BTC by hacker that exploited the tangle.
Wasn't my fault, i didn't expose my seed, i just stored my coins at tangle and someone stole it.
Tangle is totally unsecure, don't trust it.
You're full of shit. The network has never been hacked. The security on a seed is higher than Bitcoin, so unless you reused an address or created a seed with low entropy, your IOTA are fine. My guess is you didn't reattach your address after a snapshot and didn't bother to troubleshoot.
What's your address?
I didn't said that network has hacked, but exploited.
My seed was ok, but some problem with reattach, i did dozen times and didn't work, some one did that wasnt't me and stole my funds from 1 address not from entire balance from seed:
https://forum.helloiota.com/Topic1814.aspxFrom the linked thread, and what you were told by those trying to help you, you reused an address and revealed part of your address to the world--that's not an exploit, that's someone using brute force after you revealed part of your seed. The same thing that keeps IOTA quantum resistant is why you don't reuse adddresses, sorry you had to learn that the hard way, but it's not a network insecurity--and that's the way you were trying to frame it. If you don't understand the technology, you shouldn't be using it--it's not a BTC clone and you can't assume it works the same. Luckily the newer wallets won't allow you to make this mistake, but the early wallet was released as barebones and was explained as such to the community who demanded after the devs weren't going to release one at all. TBH, I wish they had only released a CLI, as Monero did early on, so noobs wouldn't even be able to use it and create this type of negative feedback based on their false assumptions about BETA technology.
I didnt reuse the address. My balance gone to 0 because of tangle shit and i just tried to retrieve by reattach it, but didn't work, in this time i got hacked. Reattach in the iota is very bugged and doesn't work as should be.
Anyway, so, lets spread to the 99% of people to avoid IOTA, because 99% dont have dev skills and i'm sure that dont understand how the technology works, about reattach, keyreuse, bruteforce, retrieve from snapshot or how to avoid a reveal of half of seed, etc.
Crypto was suppose to be user friendly. The truth is that blockchain is 100% secure until now and even basic users can use it safely and tangle is a unsecure bugged technology that is only for experts.
The idea of the project, about Internet of Things is very good, is really amazing. 1st time that i read about, i really thought that if someday some coin could defeat bitcoin, it could be IOTA, but in the real world it never gonna happen because tangle is shit.
So people, if you aren't a programmer/dev/expert, don't use buggIOTA.
