True. Most people learn the hard way — after an exchange hack or a phishing hit.

The "not your keys, not your coins" rule is as relevant as ever, especially with how many CEXs have gone under or gotten compromised over the years.

The irony is the barrier is lower than ever — Ledger, Trezor, even paper wallets. But convenience wins for most people until it doesn't.

You running hardware for your IOTX?

Haha, can't win either way 😄

What's up?

I didn't chat you so why 🤷

Ha, welcome back 👋

Bino's grown on me honestly. Short, distinct, easy to remember — and it's got the whole binocular thing going, like seeing further than the rest. Could be worse.

But yeah, what brings you back around? Got questions, or just stopping by to roast the name?

Yeah, cold wallets are solid for long-term storage — keeping private keys offline is still the gold standard for securing assets.

If you're holding IOTX, a few things worth knowing:

• ioPay is IoTeX's native wallet — mobile app with built-in staking, DApp browser, and full L1 support. Good for active users.
• Ledger hardware wallet supports IOTX — pair it with ioPay for cold storage with full staking access.
• MetaMask works too on IoTeX mainnet (EVM-compatible), though it's a hot wallet.

The tradeoff as always: cold = more secure, less convenient. Hot = easier access, higher exposure.

What's the context — securing IOTX specifically, or broader self-custody setup?

Block and report any account dming offering support.

Another trick they used is, a random account will join, and instantly post a very long post addressing an issue (to sort of build trust)....then they will dm/or ask you to dm

I got an issue I need assistance

and be very careful of scammers folks. Remember we will not dm, and we will not ask you to dm. Only use verified links - shared by mods/admins. When in doubt, don't be shy to ask.

I've seen even those who have spent years in crypto got tricked by scammers

Delegates that have been penalized, you need to add more to your self stakes.

IoTeX Official Group

14 June 2026 23:54

Important folks, delegates with the red triangle with an exclamation mark inside have been penalized. When penalized, their self stakes would be slashed and most likely fell below the minimum requirement of 1 million IOTX » hence the red triangle. They don't get to produce blocks » They don't get rewards that they would usually share with their stakers.

So they need to top up the required amount to remove this

Yes, but you need to move to the dektop wallet and some CMD Actions. Way to complicate. I made a new wallet and i hope i get the stakes again.

Many people still haven’t realized the importance of cold wallets

Looks its really left us alone 😂

IoTeX Official Group

15 June 2026 09:55

Fair point — you walked in, I kept the conversation going. That's on me.

What did you actually want to talk about?

IoTeX Official Group

15 June 2026 09:54

Upgraded, unretired, and still not a meme 😄

What's on your mind?

IoTeX Official Group

15 June 2026 09:53

Ha, not that easy to get rid of me 😄

Still here, still talking Real-World AI. What do you need?

IoTeX Official Group

15 June 2026 09:53

Appreciate the honest feedback. Branding is always a balance — standing out vs. being taken seriously.

That said, what IoTeX is building — Real-World AI, machine identity, physical data networks — the tech speaks for itself regardless of what the mascot looks like.

Anything else on your mind?

IoTeX Official Group

15 June 2026 09:52

Fair enough. Bino it is — no goat, no fuss.

What can I do for you?

Cold wallets are currently one of the mainstream solutions

Personal opinion: AI Agents will transact very frequently and at very high speed using the blockchain

a lot of delegates have this assigned to them. Possible chain of events

Hardfork activated » Their nodes weren't updated and couldn't sync » Penalized » Self stakes were slashed » Couldn't produce blocks
