The new UCL wallet is even worse. It’s supposed to be launched within the next few weeks. It made me lose $2000 worth of iota because of a loop in the code that resent transactions if you put the app in a background state. You know, a violation of the one canonical rule of using iota, I.e reusing an address. The iota foundation is a nefarious and bad intentioned bunch of crooks.

You lost $2000 with the UCL wallet? How did you do that if the wallet hasn't even been launched yet? Were you dumb enough to put $2000 into a beta wallet? Then I'd say you deserved it.

One of the developers for the UCL wallet here. Can you elaborate more on how did you lose money using a wallet that is not released publicly yet and is available only for a closed group of alpha testers who all have been instructed not to use the wallet with their accounts holding significant amount of iotas?

  Lol, of course he can't elaborate. He's a troll. HN has really gone down the drain in the past couple years.

So then it goes without saying that you reported this bug, before calling people nefarious, bad-intentioned crooks?

Why would you use a wallet that is in active development and has an alpha group working on finding bugs and huge issues like this with your REAL seed/account? This sounds like either you were tricked into using this wallet because someone said you would be better off, or you just went against all the warnings the devs have repeatedly made.

Do you have any transaction hashes to prove claims of such a magnitude? Why did you use $2000 on a wallet in alpha testing despite being warned against doing such a thing? > that resent transactions if you put the app in a background state This is absolutely false. There is no resending in the background. As a developer who asked to work on the project AND had access to the repository, I'm surprised you don't know the difference between reattaching and resending. Without the transaction hashes to prove your loss of such a sum, your claims are considered fictitious.

  Also, I happened to take a look at the TestFlight statistics. You’ve logged the 4th most sessions for this build, which you installed Dec 8. Why would you use a wallet 101 times in the past 10 days if it caused you to lose money?
