If my last IOTA transaction was Sept 5th using wallet 2.5.1, should I follow the above directions to retrieve my IOTA or would it be easier to wait for the new wallet to come out next week. Currently, I get "NO CONNECTION" on wallet 2.5.1.
Thanks for the help!
You get "NO CONNECTION" because after the last snapshot the tangle has changed and the previous doesn't work anymore.
Install versione 2.5.3 and retry, starting with the old seed.
