It's the factual answer. If you bought something you don't understand you should not make any claims whatsoever about anything pertaining to it. Then to say that it is 'blackmail' to say that we need to test the software before release is just so mind-numbingly insane that I have to conclude you're a troll.

Did someone just say they were blackmailed for being asked to test the software they bought? Is this real life? You bought Internet-of-Things tech but can't even participate in testing? That means you're a pure speculator with zero interest in IOTA itself, only a fast profit, in which case: fuck off.

Thanks, indeed made a mistake.

I like "Giota" instead of GI or whatever.

Oh shit, right.

The other way around.

maybe Tera suits better then.

I don't think so but it will be easy to do once the wallet is 1.0


Find the last beta wallet somewhere in the discussion here : http://chat.iotatoken.com/channel/iotatesting
Or look on different IOTA threads if someone posted the link. Be careful about who is posting the link.


Good question.
1 old IOTA = 0.00277952 Giota
1 Giota = 359.7730552 old IOTA

So 1 Giota is how many old IOTA?

Yes, we should all use the SI prefixes.

10^15    peta  P
10^12    tera  T
10^9    giga  G
10^6    mega  M
10^3    kilo  k
10^2    hecto  h
10^1    deka  da

When you say 2.8 million GI, you are mixing a long/short scale word with the SI prefix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

The total supply is 2779530283277761 iotas = 2.779530283277761 petaiotas  ~= 2.77 PI

please double check your numbers. 1 btc / GigaIota seems a bit high

WTB 10 000 GigaIotas for 10 btc  
Or smaller amounts at a rate for 0.001 btc/ GigaIota

If we come to an agreement, we can do the IOTA <> Bitcoin transfer as soon as Iota is stable and its sure that a role back is not going to happen again.

I think that more information and/or reminders need to be shared officially and in a coordinated manner from all now ...I say this because the majority of posts in this thread and in the ANN thread now are mainly either:
--
ppl wanting to know when the main-net will be up and stable
OR
non official talk about 'it's coming soon'
---
and the only official talk coming is 'please test' and 'please start projects, start promoting, donate to foundation' and everything is in the hands of the community now - That's an understandable pov, however, I also think that this is also being communicated a bit poorly maybe under the assumption that everyone will understand/know what to do. Let's be real..there are some just here to turn a profit or just to build projects.. and the fact is we need both persona types. However if little information is shared then people can't promote effectively nor can they build projects..the tangle is still something many devs would need to wrap their head around.

I'm not a crypto dev but I've been doing my part with testing and talking to people about it in my region but where I'm from it's to much to wrap their heads around...generally it's probably years behind IoT progression. It's extremely hard to get bitcoin here far less for any other crypto technology to adopt in businesses etc..I only have a tiny portion of IOTA and still pledged. All that to say that I'm still trying to do my part. I want to see this succeed and add technology value..not only monetary value.

A few suggestions:

-Email to the mailing list as mentioned in my other post above.
-Setup the foundation and deal addresses even though we're still in beta..hopefully we won't have to rollback/repeat those txns - We don't need pledges now..we need real actionable IOTA transfers to accounts towards these goals.
-Try a shorter term positive reinforcement strategy..e.g inform us of a small bit of not so cryptic info of plans/easter eggs/whatever and the only way we can hear the next piece of nugget info is for the community to do X or Y in Z timeframe -- for instance 200k txns = info nugget 1, 500 txns = info nugget 2 etc. It can hopefully psychologically increase urgency to the situation.

I could be wrong but maybe those things might help..

Let's not get stuck in a chicken/egg scenario here..we can all do this together

We should maybe all use GigaIotas (GI) for trading here. Giga or Mega will most likely be used by the exchanges I would guess.

How do you calculate how much GI your Iotas are: "your Iotas" / 1 000 000 000
Put that in a calculator and you will get your balance in GI

By the way, the total supply of iota is 2779530283277761. In GigaIotas that  is 2 779 530.28328
So a total supply of around 2.8 million GI

Over 80 community members already voted for the foundation by pledging iotas.

Please tell us the donation addresses as soons as the network is relatively stable, and we will start funding.

That being said, there will be one problem: Many users commited to donate the profits from the deal to the foundation, so you'll have a hard time reaching the foundation goal without the deal.

We're only about 62% of the total foundation goal...that said, not everyone may be following this thread or on rocketchat...how about sending out something to all the mailing list as well to inform everyone of this and the importance of meeting the remaining ~38%

It may seem redundant but in the end, it's humans we're dealing with and we all need reminders to put things into perspective and priority
