Complete Newbie, I apologize in advance if I offend anyone.
I obtained a 2.4 Wallet a week ago and successfully sent a bunch of Iota there and it did display the correct balance, and under History it did display the correct History as to Transfer History and Addresses History.
Of course, now a week later there shows No Balance, 0 History Transfers and 0 Addresses History.
That begs the first question, since now I find out that literally thousands of wallet holders are experiencing the same problem, why would such a Wallet ever have been released in the first place?? And we know this is not something particular to 2.4 Wallet, this situation has been going on since the beginning AND it's still going on with the newest Releases!! WTF
The Slack and here are inundated with Iota holders wanting answers and no one seems to provide any concrete solutions and yet they just keep issuing new Wallet updates. How about testing the Wallets before you actually release them, you think!
Okay, now I have Zero Balances in my Iota Wallet...... when I have a BTC address I can just look at the History of that particular Address through Blockexplorer/blockchain.info/etc., and see all the History/ transactions /Balances of that particular Address, But apparently that's too difficult to do here with Iota? Really? And please don't suggest Iota.tips, that does no good at all. Put an all purpose Iota BlockExplorer right on the front page of your main website so everyone has the same ability to look at their Wallet Address.
Devs and Founders, if you ever want have a really viable and mainstream coin that the general public can take to as an investment or useful asset/currency etc., then these simple enormous oversights have to be solved Before you move forward with other developments.
If I understood correctly, a wallet that solves these issues will be released soon(TM).
Do you prefer the devs focus on the core tech or on marketing, fancy website and wallet? Think about this.
Many people have the issue. As I have learned reading the last pages there is a wanted reason The tangle was completely deleted because it was like a hard fork. It has been taken a snapshot of all balances at a particular point. Technically, unconfirmed transactions at the time of snapshot do not belong to one or another account. Thus they had to transferred to a special account what is controlled by the foundation I guess. Read the previous pages. There is information that helps you to get it better.
