I can clarify that I have got access to my IOTA wallet. IOTA not scammy and great because they take care and respect their investors.

Amazing though that so many people here are willing to accept a "go fuck yourself" attitude when investing. Protecting wallets of dormant users should be a priority also.

What if you went to jail for a year you lose all your money or your parents are cross and ground you from access to internet for a year? you lose all your money. Too easy.
I think I can get access to my EOS I haven't bothered to try yet cos I've only 500euro invested but should be ok, i will clarify in due course.
Shift however I think from a general look I won't be able to access my coins but I didn't invest much there cos I suspected they scummy.
Remember if you accept these standards now of losing wallets on a whim then continue that course and crypto will never be main stream.

That is good to hear. And you do bring up a good point, it should not be impossible to access your funds, should you step away for a reason. Like the BTC forks, all you need is your pk to access the new funds at any time. But most of the time when there is a time limit as was your case, the network is switching to a new network and this is generally communicated and planned from the ICO. If a project were to switch randomly and without notification, then I would call them scammy. They also wouldn't last long. A huge part of crypto is personal responsibility, as you already know.
