hey guys,
i'm new to the forum and iota is one of the coins i'm most excited about
what really sold me on iota is this interview with one of the founders - https://soundcloud.com/arthurfalls/ether-review-69-iota-the-post-blockchain-era
he seems like a solid guy and explains the tech quite well.
i'm surprised that upon searching for posts on iota in this forum, there are many posts from 1 to 2 years ago of people thinking iota is a scam and being very frustrated. can someone explain to me why?

lots of people thought Bitcoin was scam in the early time too. Even today, some people still think so. Same to Ethereum. People's hearts go with people's treasures and people's intelligence goes with people's hearts.

What is wrong with IOTA?  I have bought some some days ago and I wrote down my seed....
Should I do something with ?

If you were not using the newest client 2.4.0 when you created your seed, you should upgrade to 2.4.0 and create a brand new seed with 2.4.0 and transafer your coins to the new seed. It is mandatory to do so. The new GUI client can help you to do this transition. The step by step guide is here -
https://matthewwinstonjohnson.gitbooks.io/iota-guide-and-faq/getting-started/guide-transition.html

If you used android wallet before,  you have to do this transition on the GUI desktop wallet. To my best knowledge, you can't do the transition on the Android wallet.

Yes, you have to do the transition with the PC wallet if you can't do it with the android wallet.
Now that I've got all the information for the transition (I do not want to make any mistakes, because it's a big sum for me), I wonder if there is a time limit until the transition has been done? I could not find any information about this. I mean with time limit, if I do not conduct a transition by day x, then my coins will be lost.

I believe that it is mandatory and everyone should do it as soon as possible.

I updated the Android wallet but after attaching several addresses (30+), still no sign of my balance. Perhaps it takes some time before the old balance shows up again?
did you do the transition with the official GUI 2.4.0 after the snapshot?
This is the Android Wallet, not the PC wallet. Or do you mean that I have to process my Andoid seed with the migration service of the new PC wallet as well?

Yes, you have to do the transition with the PC wallet if you can't do it with the android wallet.

IOTA Foundation about to announce partnership with Volkswagen?? - https://youtu.be/EXjCqT-oK9M?t=34m31s
maybe.
Thats what hes talking about I think.

'CarPass and the digital twin was first built using ethereum as the prototype, but the team eventually shifted to a newcomer platform called IOTA for the proof-of-concept.'

This is VW's big picture of car to car communication in which Innogy and IOTA can play some key roles - https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2017/06/pwlan.html

Hi all,
is there a site that collects news regarding IOTA anywhere?
Would be great to have a site where things like the VW cooperation would be listed.
Thanks!

now that the IOTA network has upgraded successfully after the snapshot, we have prepared a new GUI release for you all to guide you through the transition phase.-

GUI Download:  https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/tag/v2.4.0
- Instructions: https://blog.iota.org/new-gui-transition-phase-explained-b536ed80f412  (there is even a video)

For GUI wallets that run as a full node, please be advised that you have to delete your local database.

Hello friend.
I am presently running Iota Light Wallet 2.3.0 - IRI 1.3.0 and would like to upgrade.
To clarify, do I now run v2.4.0 to update. 
Sorry for the newbie question.

Yes, you need to upgrade to v2.4.0. Just follow the installing guide.

hi anyone kind enough to explain this
Iota does not seek to replace the blockchain entirely, it also acts as a supplementation to the current blockchain ecosystem by acting as a oracle for smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Rootstock. Additionally it increases security of blockchains by enabling the ability to include checkpoints for transactions.
cant understand how this acts as an "oracle"

For instance, a sensor can run IOTA. The outside real time data collected by a sensor such as weather or vehicle data can be stored in Tangle which is IOTA's distributed ledger and transferred through IOTA to other systems like Ethereum and Rootstock. All you need is an interoperable bridge between systems. Basically it means that IOTA can feed immutable data to Ethereum and Rootstock in the place where Ethereum and Rootstock are not able to operate and collect data.

I tried it but had no luck.

Maybe check if you have the latest Java.

Since I downloaded the light wallet (windows 8.1) I'm not able to "attach to tangle". When it says "attaching to tangle" it just hangs forever.
I set the correct nodes.
I found an entry on github, too. So it seems that I'm not the only one with this issue.

Try to change a server host IP address. Maybe the host is too busy.

is snapshoting, like form a of centralization?

No. Snapshotting is like blockchain pruning in Bitcoin. It is a way to reduce database (the distributed ledger) size. In the future, the snapshotting will be locally and automatically done and some nodes with capacity can still store the whole history of transactions.
