is it safe now to use the light wallet for claiming and regular use, or is it still not a final release and intended just for testing?

At the moment i know 2 people that successfully claimed with the light-wallet (1 on linux and 1 on windows). I never heard of a problem with claiming  Smiley

Its really easy:
Go to "Tools" and click "Claim Process"


Then simply enter your old seed and a new seed. Wait until PoW is finished. Login with your new seed Smiley


Take care of your seeds! Make sure you dont lose them in any way (create backups, print them or do whatever is needed that they dont get lost)


Are there any known bugs in this release? I have installed it and tried to finally claim a remaining portion of my Iotas, but what I got is pretty strange.
Opened the "Claim process" dialog, entered old seed, then the new seed (different one) two times. The button indicated "Claiming" for some time, then it showed something like "The seed contains 212 Gi", then after some time button changed to "CLAIM COMPLETED" in nice blue color.
However when I login using the new seed, I see balance is zero.

Well, I logged out, and did the claiming once again, absolutely the same procedure, just with different new seed. Both the process and result were again the same - it reported "The seed contains 212 Gi" (regardless of the fact I already claimed them!), and "CLAIM COMPLETED". Then again, I logged in by new seed and saw zero balance.

Am I doing something wrong? The procedure is extremely simple, I cannot see what I can do wrong there.
BTW, I used http://service.iotasupport.com:14265 as the node, just in case if it makes difference.

Would appreciate any help, or RTFM if needed Smiley
