Tutorial: How to get back missing balance in IOTA wallet
Recently due to the awakening of altcoins IOTA is getting a decent pump too. This leads me to check out the long resting IOTA wallet since I set it up a few months ago, only to find out I got a 0 balance.
We are conducting another snapshot in IOTA which is intended to finalize the Curl to Kerl upgrade and introduce a newly improved IRI release to the community.
The balance went missing is a result of IOTA network snapshot from 22nd September. Don't worry, you fund is still safe inside the Tangle. Follow the simple steps below to reclaim all your balance.
Get the latest wallet from iotaledger: https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases. The latest version is v2.5.4, download whatever is applicable to your operating system. I'm using windows so I'm going to use the exe file.
Login the wallet using your old seed. You don't have to generate a new seed for this. Always backup the seed and keep it safe.
After login, you will notice you still have the 0 balance. Access the Edit Node Configuration under the Tools.
Change the Min Weight Magnitude to 14 and make sure Curl Implementation is Webgl 2 Curl Implementation. Save it.
Then Generate Address and Attach to Tangle. The balance shall reappears under the Receive tab.
You may want to do this repeatedly until all the fund is fully claimed. If you previously have received 5 transaction into this wallet, you should at least to see same number of transfer under the History tab.
If you are still having issues please try changing nodes, rebooting wallet and redo the process again. You can also try to get help from https://iotatangle.slack.com. If you need an invite see https://slack.iota.org.
This "fund missing: incident might be frightening to the non-techie person. But as long as you keep your seed well-kept you will always be fine. Do not share it with anybody else or store the seed in digital form. Tangle technology is something very new compared to the blockchain. I believe IOTA is still in its infant phase like what Bitcoin was in 2009. To the moon!

Holy shit, now that could generate quite the scare if happened to someone and they didn’t know what was up!
Yeah man, Iota has some of the strongest fundamentals out of any projects coming out recently. This one’s likely a gold mine.
