Hi everyone, Has anyone had the same problem with the new upgrade to 2.4 The upgrade has not gone well for me so heres the problem. Followed the instructions on the blog exactly. Completed the transition and entered new seed but when i login to iota version 2.4 with new seed, it shows no balance even after generating over 250 addresses.
Any ideas what not right. i was connected using lite wallet with bitfinex server.
I also notice that the history in my new seed shows 0 addresses and 0 transactions Any help will do
I am using the new version 2.4 lite wallet and tried several nodes but after I do the transition from my old seed to new one the wallet just says transitioning and the wallet window goes black. Any help please

The transition window does not say it was sucessfull.
The new seed does not show any incoming transactions as well when i login in to the new seed.
Thanks

While i was away i had this little idea.
Wouldn't it be better that iota devs or someone with the iota skill create a site where all iota token holders can transition from old seed to new seed everytime there is an upgrade.
I suppose something like this:
User can logon onto website:

1 Enter old seed
2 Get all balances linked to old seed
3 Transition balance to new seed.
Is it possible for anyone to create something like this that is open source

too easy..they only know difficult things as tangle or building new versions to improve security
allowing simple users with a old seed to recover their previous balance looks too easy for these genius

GMK Hi,
A simple interface is drastically needed if iota is to scale to millions of people without losing their iota's. maybe a few thousand might get the wallet thing but try millions. How many millions will have the time to sort out software issues.
Take this scenario: If some people go on holiday or get ill or are too busy involved in some other life matters and come back too late only to find that they have lost their iota balance then how many millions of users are we going to have using iota.

Iota will only build a bad reputation.
i think this early stage is where we dont want lots of people losing money.

exactly, at the moment Iota is dramatically superficial and not user friendly; their support is a ghost, they never reply
I can not recover my Iota balance because they decided to "improve" security..so improved that at this moment I have lost all haha
