Description
If you have never had anything to do with IOTA, you just need to do 5 steps and in a few minutes you’ll be the owner of your first IOTA with no hassle, expertise, money and you also can participate in the “Test The Tangle Text” event. Follow these 5 steps (below, these steps are described in more detail):

  1. Trinity Wallet Download: Here you can download the official IOTA Trinity Wallet
  2. Set a seed for Trinity Wallet: Never use a foreign online seed generator for IOTA and secure your seed well.
  3. Getting IOTA: There are always a few people in the IOTA community who are giving to newcomers a few IOTA to test for free. Of course, you can also register on a exchange and buy IOTA.
  4. Now you can join our “Test The Tangle Test” event. For this you send one or more IOTA with your message and your IOTA adress to the following address: MYFMYSC9JAUIKUTDOU9FJPHCMHRZE9CBMOBFRMQCTF9WGFYUHEWBZSPUDWYGDIDP9WSQFAZWBUGRATTJWVZIFBUWJX
  • Your IOTA address is important because someone likes your test, who can also send you IOTA in return. You agree that we may post your message on social media. Your message and the speed of your payment will be displayed in the tangle explorer https://thetangle.org/ by entering our IOTA address
  • Please “like” and “retweet” or forward the associated tweet and this article. Because we want to reach as many people as possible.

Now you’re the owner of IOTA within a few minutes. You can already see some positive features of IOTA and the Tangle when you join in: a really great simple wallet, data transfer and — that is important - no transaction fee even for the smallest payments. Speed is also displayed, but please note that in a few weeks the transaction speed will increase tremendously by more than 100 times due to the Coordicide. Here you get more information about Coordicide. Be there when something really big happens. Here you can get more information. In a few days / weeks the test network will start. Just test it!

For those of you who are not familiar with the cryptocurrency IOTA and the Tangle technology this video is recommended as an introduction:

Here are a few more explanations to the above points:

1. Trinity Wallet Download:

You need a wallet to secure your IOTA. Each wallet is identified and protected by a unique access key known as a ‘seed’. The seed is an 81-character string, comprised of capital letters A-Z and the number 9. It’s important to note that while we call them wallets, they do not actually store tokens. They are better thought of as keychains that provide access to the tokens. The user-friendly Trinity-Wallet is available on mobile and desktop. The Trinity Wallet has many advantages

  • Paramount Security: Safe seed storage with strong encryption and two-factor authentication helps to protect your funds.
  • Easy Management: Access multiple accounts with a single password. Your transactions and balances are updated automatically.
  • Fast Transactions: Quick transfers and automatic promotion make transactions smoother than ever.
  • Market Watch: Trinity keeps you up-to-date with the current value of IOTA across a range of currencies.

If you need more informations, than read this article: The IOTA Trinity Wallet at a glance”

2. Set a seed for Trinity Wallet:

  • Open Trinity
  • To create a seed in Trinity, click Yes, I need a seed. If you already have a seed, or if you created a seed outside of Trinity, click No, I have one.
  • Enter an account name for your seed
  • You can choose to rename your account later in the Account management
  • Select an option to back up your seed and enter a login password. You will need this password every time you log into Trinity.

Never use a foreign online seed generator for IOTA and secure your seed well.

If you need more information then go to: https://docs.iota.org/docs/trinity/0.1/how-to-guides/create-an-account or have a look at this youtube:

The seed is the key to your wallet and needs to be well secured. If the seed is compromised, forgotten or misplaced, there is no recourse. I would like to create a sensitivity with this. It should be clear to everyone how important the safety of the seeds is and that there are actually people who have lost their seed and therefore their IOTA. The topic is very important for newcomers. For example, hard disks can be broken, messages sent over the Internet can be intercepted … Bitcoin is believed to lose about 20% forever and, for example, Elon Musk is said to have lost its seed and millions of dollars(to todays equivalent value).

We’ve done a Twitter survey on the topic, showing that there are some people who have lost IOTA’s. That does not have to be. https://twitter.com/publicIOTA/status/1148856428716859392

Here is a link that will help you with the security https://blog.iota.org/the-secret-to-security-is-secrecy-d32b5b7f25ef

Please secure your seed very well !!!

3. Getting IOTA:

The IOTA community is fantastic. There are always a few people in the IOTA community who are giving the newcomers a few IOTA to test for free. I’ll give you some addresses and we’ll also put in a telegram accout that you can contact if you need some IOTA to test. Just write that you have installed the Trinity Wallet and now you need some IOTA for testing. Please do not forget to enter your IOTA address. I would be very surprised if you do not have IOTA in your wallet within a very short time.

!!! Important: send only your address and never your seed. The seed must be protected forever, because the one who has the seed has access to your IOTA wallet !!!

Try the following options:

Of course there are also exchanges where you can buy IOTA. But you have to register and legitimize yourself first. I have listed some links here:

You can also search for Exchanges in our Tangle Universe project.

I would like to give you an important hint. Please do not leave your IOTA on the exchanges if you do not want to trade with it anymore, but keep it save in your wallet.

4. Join our “Test The Tangle Text” event:

Send one or more IOTA to this address: MYFMYSC9JAUIKUTDOU9FJPHCMHRZE9CBMOBFRMQCTF9WGFYUHEWBZSPUDWYGDIDP9WSQFAZWBUGRATTJWVZIFBUWJX

This action is not intended to generate much revenue, it is meant to demonstrate the capabilities of IOTA and the Tangle. In addition consider that 1 IOTA currently only has a value of $ 0.00000030. If you would like to support this event yourself, you are welcome to do so with the IOTA address at the end of the article.

Should there be a significant amount (what we don´t think) of IOTA in this action, we will donate it to a charity. Only to your information at the moment 1 IOTA = $ 0.00000030

For a participation in the even you send one or more IOTA with your message and your IOTA adress to the following address:

You agree that we may post your message on social media. Please keep the format in the picture exactly.

… write a short message of your choice. Like that:

https://thetangle.org/transaction/IXHBACZVJFXREHNZY9TZA9RJOQARRYZVXJUZJTBJBWISAAOAME9CTPCZN9JUMVXMPPCLLNR9IPAWA9999

Basically, you can write anything, for example a short message about IOTA, about your buisness, about your ideas … but importantly: It must not violate any laws and not spread hate and sexist. You agree that we may post your message on social media. We will soon be creating a page listing the best messages with the appropriate addresses.

A selection of Tangle texts is published here: https://tangleuniverse.publiciota.com/test-the-tangle-text

Our goal is to get thausends of messages to bring many people closer to the new Tangle technology.

You can also track your transaction. For this you can use the Tangle Explorer: https://thetangle.org This great tool has also another advantage. If, for some reason, a transaction gets stuck or takes a little longer, you can attach it with reattach somewhere else or speed it up with promote. Try it!

We will continue to introduce other interesting applications that will allow you to test IOTA and the Tangle in the next weeks.

5. “like” and “retweet”

Please “like” and “retweetor forward the associated tweet and this article. Because we want to reach as many people as possible. We want that it goes around the world and we would be happy if many people are more concerned with IOTA and Tangle technology.

We hope that you, perhaps inspired by this action, could make a first impression of IOTA. But we would be even more pleased if you now even more deeply concerned with the great possibilities of this technology.
