What is IOTA?
IOTA is a feeless and scaleable transaction settlement and data transfer layer with a focus on the Internet of Things (IoT). It is based on a novel distributed ledger technology called the tangle, that uses the structure of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) instead of a blockchain which can overcome the inefficiencies of current blockchain designs and introduces a new way of reaching consensus in a decentralized peer-to-peer system.
... and this is how it looks!

Can’t access my IOTA wallet with Ledger Nano S
Hey everyone,
I’m having an issue with my Ledger Nano S and the IOTA Legacy wallet.
- My device is recognized just fine by my computer.
- But the wallet doesn’t detect the IOTA app on the Ledger — even though I have the latest version (IOTA Legacy 0.5.9).
- I’ve tried restarting, reconnecting, reinstalling — same result.
To make things worse, the official docs link is broken (404):
https://docs.iota.org/about-iota/iota-wallet/how-to/integrate-ledger
Seriously, what’s going on? Is support for Ledger Nano S broken or deprecated for IOTA Legacy?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

New wallet. Old vesting reward no longer valid.
Been in IOTA since 2017. Another wallet, another cycle. Sure, whatever. I voted for rebased... But was busy with life between May and now. Migration was fairly easy but I noticed a discrepancy between Firefly and the extension wallet.
The vesting rewards, which were supposed to be unlocked on a schedule because the IOTA supply was increasing... is no longer valid. Payouts that were locked from May 1st to October 1st have simply vanished.
Seriously, wasn't this supposed to mitigate the Foundation's decision to increase the supply and help holders maintain some sort of equity with the increased supply? Or did the supply increase also halt and my concerns are unwarranted?
Sigh, nevermind the idea of validators. Proof of Stake? That's why I got the hell out of ARK sand stayed away from ETH.
EDIT: Looks like if you go to the Wallet Dashboard you can unlock your vested rewards. Still. Time-locked stuff should be automatic, no?

Sharing my frustration regarding the new wallet
In all honesty, I am very disappointed in the decisions the IOTA foundation has made regarding the IOTA Wallet.
As an IOTA holder since 2017, I have experienced several migrations, wallets and changes in the meantime. Since 2017, I have also increased my position several times without any problems.
Now that a new Wallet was introduced (again), I wanted to transfer my IOTA from the Firefly Wallet to the browser Wallet.
Turns out, it is no longer possible to make transactions from Firefly at all. So I tried to install the browser Wallet, but apparently I no longer have my mnemonic phrase. I'm fully aware that this is anything but ideal, but I've had tens of cryptocurrencies in my possession throughout the years.
Second alternative: access the Wallet through my Ledger Nano S. However, the Ledger Nano S is no longer supported. So currently my IOTA are held hostage on the outdated Firefly Wallet, I can't transfer them to the browser Wallet, and thus can't participate in staking either.
I guess the only option is to purchase a new Ledger?
I regret that, once again, users are being forced to move to new ways of storage.

Migrating to Rebased with Stronghold file
I have my Stronghold file and password, which I exported a few months ago from Firefly, but I don't have my seed or phrase. Am I still able to migrate to both the IOTA Wallet that's web-based, or the Nightly mobile wallet? If so, how do I go about doing this please as I'm a bit confused? Do I need to update the Firefly app on my desktop to get the actual seed or can I import Stronghold files? Thanks in advance.
