Trinity Wallet (Desktop / Mobile) ** DEPRECATED **

… Download Trinity https://trinity.iota.org/ - it still works

Correct. That would be the Trinity Wallet to receive the funds from Pionix. And then Firefly to do the migration to the new network. The funds will then show up in Firefly tomorrow and Trinity will have no use anymore.

Add deprecation warning (#3275, #3341) Add migration alert (#3341) Allow login even if nodes are not responsive (#3275)

I just tried to transfer the money into a trinity wallet and it arrived after 10 minutes. You can download the trinity wallet here https://trinity.iota.org/

It think it's weird IOTA still refers to Trinity as "The new user-friendly IOTA wallet"

https://trinity.iota.org/ is the official wallet until the migration starts April 21

If you'd rather avoid exchanges, then first you'll need to get a wallet. The official wallet made by the IOTA project is Trinity, so I recommend that. You can then use services like ChangeNOW to buy IOTA with a credit or debit card, and they'll send the IOTA directly to your wallet address.

Downloaded the latest version of Trinity from https://trinity.iota.org/ and it says it needs to update so I click update and click OK and then nothing happens. I opened it in Admin mode.

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.
