# IOTA Moonpay ownership verification process

### Security
Never share the seed, private key, Ledger passphrase with 24 words with anyone - including members of the IOTA Foundation.

IOTA Foundation members and moderators will never ask for your seed, your private keys, or your Ledger passphrase of 24 words. “Never” really means “never”. There are no exceptions, **ever**.

---

[TOC]

## What do you need
* Your **ORIGINAL SEED** with the stolen funds (`81 characters from A-Z and number 9`)
* **ONE ADDRESS WITH CHECKSUM**
* A **NEW ADDRESS** generated with Firefly (starting with `iota`) which has been sent to Antonio to doublecheck the address

If you already have this information at hand please go straight to [Moonpay ownership verification process](#Moonpay-ownership-verification-process)

## The receiving address with Firefly

- Download and set up the latest version of the [Firefly wallet](https://firefly.iota.org). Version **1.1.0** as of this writing
- Create a new wallet
- Walk through the *Secure you wallet procedure*
- Make sure to back up the 24 words recovery mnemonic and the Stronghold password. The **24 words mnemonic** are the **new seed** and these will always give you access to the tokens on the Tangle. **Make sure to secure them accordingly**. Here our [blog post](https://blog.iota.org/security-during-token-migration/) with security tips.
- After the initial Firefly set up click on **Receive** to generate a receiving address
- Click on **Copy Address** to copy that address (*Note*: the new addresses now start with `iota`)
- Copy this address to be used during the *Moonpay ownserwhip verification process*

## Chrysalis tool MacOS

The tool is a terminal/command line tool and it needs a little preparation to get it started on MacOS

- Download the *Reclaim Simplified* tool `iota-reclaim-simplify.mac` from here:
https://github.com/iotaledger/reclaim-simplified/releases/tag/v0.0.4
- Open the Terminal ([This guide explains how to open the Terminal app](https://www.howtogeek.com/682770/how-to-open-the-terminal-on-a-mac/))
- Use the `cd` command to get to the `Download` or `Desktop` folder. In this example the chrysalis reclaim tool was downloaded to the `Desktop`
- Now make the tool *executable* so that it can be run with `chmod +x iota-reclaim-simplified.mac`
- Now run the tool for the first time `./iota-reclaim-simplified.mac` (**NOTE** It will fail and give an error)
- This is the error message. Click on **Cancel**
- At this point go to the **System Preferences** here go to **Security And Privacy**. Verify that `iota-reclaim-simplify.mac` was blocked and click on **Allow Anyway**
- 
- Now back to the Terminal and run the command again, this time a new pop-up will appear
- Now click on **Open** to run the *reclaim tool* and start following the instructions on the next section [Moonpay ownership verification process](#The-Chrysalis-reclaim-process)

## Moonpay ownership verification process

Now that we have
* The **ORIGINAL SEED** with the frozen stolen funds (`81 characters from A-Z and number 9`)
* **ONE ADDRESSES WITH CHECKSUM** with the frozen funds
* A **NEW ADDRESS** generated with Firefly (starting with `iota`)

it is possible to start the reclaim process.

Download the *Reclaim Simplified* tool from here:

https://github.com/iotaledger/reclaim-simplified/releases/tag/v0.0.4

*NOTES*:
- GNU/Linux users make sure to make the file executable `chmod +x iota-reclaim-simplified.linux`
- MacOS users please follow this guide first: [Chrysalis tool MacOS](#Chrysalis-tool-MacOS) if you have not done so already

Open the command line or terminal, run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions.

- Type or paste the **Address with the stolen funds** including the checksum (90 characters)
- Press **Enter** on the keyboard
- Now type or paste the **New receiving address** generated with Firefly
- Press **Enter** on the keyboard
- Now type or paste the **original seed** that controls the frozen funds. **NOTE:** Should be the seed shorter than 81 characters, add the number 9 until it reaches 81 characters
- Press **Enter** on the keyboard
- This will be the output
- Make sure to scroll **UP** and copy all the text starting from
`=================================CUT HERE=====================================`
- This is how the complete text looks like
- Now either send this content to Antonio Nardella in a private message on the [IOTA Discord](https://discord.iota.org) or via e-mail to [e-mail]

# Troubleshooting

## Error ERROR: The entered Claimed address is invalid: [...] at index 0 (not length of 90 trytes): invalid hash

### Reclaim tool with error

### The inserted Address is missing the checksum.
- To find the address + checksum go to the [IOTA Explorer](https://explorer.iota.org/legacy-mainnet) and Search for you address there
- The Explorer will show the Address and the checksum
- Copy the address from here and use it in the reclaim tool
