Announcement: IOTA Tangle Protocol Update
I just came across this announcement via Bitfinex:
Announcements > IOTA Protocol Upgrade
August 08, 2017
The IOTA Foundation released an announcement yesterday detailing immediate improvements and upgrades to IOTA. The upgrade requires Bitfinex to temporary suspend IOTA deposits and withdrawals until approximately Wednesday, August 9th, 12:00 UTC.
We regret the temporary inconvenience, but the safety of customer funds is our number one priority.
We strongly advise users that have one or more recent IOTA withdrawals showing as completed on Bitfinex but still pending on the Tangle to keep “reattaching” it in the IOTA wallet until the snapshot occurs. Please note that following the upgrade, prior IOTA deposit addresses will no longer be valid transaction targets - we will be generating new addresses for all user wallets.
We believe that the IOTA Foundation improvements - and an improved Bitfinex IOTA wallet manager - will substantially improve user experience with transactions on the IOTA Tangle.
This sounds like good news. As soon as they announce that everything is fine I will try to send a transaaction and see whats happening...
Looking forward for IOTA moon in 2018 =)
bitfiniex und poloniex haben glück dass die schon so lange auf dem markt sind und einen gewisse zuverlässigkeit bieten, würden die heute einsteigen und alle 2 tage einzahlengen und auszahlungen blpcken wären die ganz schnell weg vom fenster
ich glaube auch das sind eher gute Neuigkeiten. Werde heute das Update von Wallet ziehen und testen.
Let's hope what these new wallets and wallet management will be like.
It looks like it is going to be better but we will see.
Thanks for the update @blocklab
hope so, too. I will test the new wallet today.
At least seems like they care about the users. Hopefully your transaction will be successful :)
IOTA is a great investement , to the Moon IOTA
It looks like the market has reacted positively to the news. IOTA is up 6.66% compared to USD today...
Thanks for sharing
@ronni
Atleast bitfinex sends the email regarding it but poloniex does not care about it and even do not respond to our tickets, that is totally ridiculous.
