I will say that they don't make it easy and there were lots of bumps along the way, but I did get my IOTA to show up again. Get on the IOTA slack and someone will help you eventually, but you have to have a lot, and I mean a lot of patience with IOTA. That being said, I wouldn't say they've stolen any crypto from anyone.
I want everyone to try to contemplate how IOTA would look if the number one priority was to help people who didn't bother to claim in time and do hands on daily tutoring rather than actually create the technology... It is *us* not *you* who has to have an insane amount of patience with people who didn't bother to follow the right procedures in the first 4 months and thus ended up costing us tens of hours of manual work that could've been much better spent on doing productive things.
ok I understand that but:
1) I was not aware of the need to convert the iotas again to a new address (re-claim). (There is no information letter)
2) This conversion process seems not easy to do (you write "tens of hours of manual work") I did not know that.
ok I apologize for having used the word dishonest to qualify the iota team.
What is the process to make this conversion ? Can I do it myself ?
Others are in the same situation as you. Unlike the "4 months" that David claims people had, people who DID follow the first claim process got an email 2 weeks before the launch. So people had 2 weeks, not 4 months. For some reason, this email went out 10 days after the information was already in the forum, not sure why.
Now David aka Iotatoken makes guilty people for missing 2 week window after the patiently waited for a long time. He think anyone not technical is a pleb and beneath him. So unprofessional. He ignores people messages and never responds. He should not be a face of IOTA if he is so degrading. People may never get the IOTA they are owed while David and his buddies sell tokens on OTC.
