Reclaim process, questions

Hi guys. I reclaimed, got my final address etc. but it never came through. Contacted the team many times. The last reply I got from them was a long time ago. Since then, still nothing.

​

Any idea what I should do now to reclaim? Does the new wallet have reclaim ability? Last time someone told me to get the old wallet and do it from there.

​

Suggestions?

When did you finished the reclaim? The last payout from IF was in february. So if you finished the reclaim after that, its normal you did got nothing yet.

Unfortunately i don't know when they will pay out the next time.

I got my reclaim address, etc. completed it over a year ago I think. But status is still unclaimed. :-/

Where do you see the status? on this github page? Thats not exactly up-to-date and inofficial.

Best would be to write a email to [email protected] or join discord, write in the #reclaim channel and ping Andrew G. [IF]. He is responsible for the handling and can check what is going on.

I was making progress and then suddenly Andrew went silent. I sent several follow-up emails over months and no reply. Last I heard from him was last Fall. That's one of the reasons I have been trying alternative methods. I have gone on discord, forums, everything. Actually my issue now is the seed format from my original wallet is not being accepted by trinity wallet. Even though I received all confirmation I was told to redo the reclaim since it has been so long. Then he stopped replying.

I remember vaguely that you can just add 9s to the end of your seed till its the needed lenght.

Trinity seeds need to be 81 characters long. If your old seed is shorter, add 9 to the end until you have 81 characters. But that will not help you much if the reclaim never worked. The seed will be empty.

So yea, you should probably do the reclaim again. Maybe first time something went wrong and it never reached the IF. The old light wallet still works but it can be tricky to find a working node. You can check this list and try some: https://iota-nodes.net/

Do the process again until you get a receiving address, and best write down all transaction hashes you get along the way.
