goshimmer VS explorer

I highly recommend searching for "IOTA 2.0 devnet" - it's a *public* test net running for an year with a new OTV consensus entirely without Coordinator. This is the result of literally years of research (link to research papers: https://www.iota.org/foundation/research-papers ). This is the exact link to the git repo of IOTA 2.0 devnet node software: https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer The purpose of Shimmer is to test out these solutions (that already exist) in a real live network - Coordicide will land on Shimmer in a series of modules, which should start happening in the next few months.

Who cares about discord and twitter. He is working even on weekends. https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer/commit/3e27a8cb7f128c67244c3d44914b62c078febbd1

That's exactly what the iota foundation is doing, they have built a network where there are no blocks, no commission fees, no miners, the protocol is leaderless, everyone can write on the ledger with their own node. Essentially the network is not competitive (miners trying to mine the block first) but contributory, like bittorrent. Notable fact about congestion, the network exchanges messages that can be only data or economic transactions, the exchange of messages is so fluid that they had to implement a complete congestion protocol in the node with algorithms similar to the TCP layer and a message scheduler. If you're interested in learning more about the technical side, here's a link to their wiki. https://wiki.iota.org/goshimmer/welcome

GOSHIMMER (Coordicide Testnet)

As far as the IOTA ecosystem as whole, we primarily use Rust. Go is being used for prototyping IOTA 2.0 with the GoShimmer node along with some other projects I believe, but Rust is used in the main ones (e.g. client libraries (iota.rs and wallet.rs), Streams, Identity).

[GoShimmer 0.8](https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer/releases/tag/v0.8.0) is now out, which means that a working prototype of the final "OnTangleVoting" consensus mechanism is now running on the DevNet.

I made my wallet with Firefly so I could participate in the staking for Assembly and Shimmer. But when I copy and paste the wallet address from that Firefly wallet into thetangle.org, it says there are no results for it. Similarly if I go to explorer.iota.org, it brings up a wallet, but it says that the balance is zero. I should have about 98.89 Mi. Does anyone have any idea why I can't look it up on these explorers? It's inconvenient because my Koinly thinks I have a balance of 0 in that wallet.

Most likely issues connecting to that node, but you can search the transaction on https://explorer.iota.org and see if it’s been referenced.

under explorer.iota.org my first test address contains my test amount, the new one is empty.

IOTA Tangle Explorer

https://explorer.iota.org does not seem to show it, or did I miss it?

Use https://explorer.iota.org, switch to legacy network and enter the addresses you want the transaction history for.

Although this gives you some insurance that everything worked correctly, you can never check the "final" address without defeating the purpose of cold storage. Using https://explorer.iota.org/ is not sufficient, because we are not doubting that the IOTA has reached the address, but we are doubting that our saved key belongs to said address.
