How to send and recieve IOTA - Guide + (Giveaway)
You are completely new to Iota, and want to learn how to send and recieve transactions using the lightwallet?
Make sure to check out my previous guide first, where I explain how to set up the latest wallet release, version 2.3.1
https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases
Lets assume you now have full access to your stylish wallet and want to recieve funds. You proceed by pressing the violet "attach to tangle" bar in the recieve section of the wallet. This succeesfully enables your lightnode access to the Tangle.
Next you click on the address in front of you. This will copy the latest address to your clipboard. You can now pass it on to anyone that wants to send you funds.
Important: Everytime you generate a fresh address, only use it once as this keeps you safe from brute force hack attempts.
In order to send funds, simply access the "send" field in the starting menu and insert the address that you want to give funds to. The recipient should always give you a fresh address. As previously mentioned, you may reuse an old address but I would not recommend that.
Select the amount you wish to transfer. One has the option to send funds in units of either iota, kiloiota, megaiota, gigaiota and terraiota.
Lastly you can optionally add a tag to your transaction. This may help you efficiently track the different recipients and be more proactive with your time.
Now hit the violet "send now" bar. After a short loading time, your bar will change to blue and show "transaction completed".
Helpfull Tips:
In the starting menu you see a "History" option. This field tracks your entire history of incoming and outgoing transactions. Sometimes transactios show up with a minor delay. To make sure they do show up, simply generate a couple of fresh addresses. This will rescan the tangle and approve outstanding addresses.
The "Balance" option in the starting menu can be fully shown by clicking on the number:)

Thanks!
I have no doubt it will:) Thanks for the great contribution. Upvoted & sending Iota now:)
Although there are a lot of great uses for IOTA, I think the drawback is that there really isn't a reason for the IOTA token price to increase until machines start selling data and settling in IOTA tokens, correct? Do correct me if I'm wrong.
See the good side of this situation, NOW is the best time we have to BUY, due to the very low price compared to the potential IOTA offers.
Then when iot machines start to use IOTA for payments will be the time for SELL and make good profit.
I see IOTA as the best investment at the moment, I think this a privilege, soon these prizes will jump and then we ( IOTA investors ) will also enjoy the time to SELL.
;)
Good point Michael:) the project is developing at a fast pace & so is the community. I also truly believe that we will pass major players like Ripple XRP very soon in cap.This autumn run will be magic to watch. All I can recommend is Hodl;)
Ioata token is not limited to machines. It has the same "value" as any other currency. Since the supply is currently almost the same as Bitcoin, with a clearly superior technology on top i actually see more value in it than the inflating dollar and euro;P I agree with you about the m2m use which will make it even more valuable.
Thank you very much for the information on the article, now I have clear how to use IOTA Wallet to transfer IOTAs

Hi. I am a volunteer bot for @resteembot that upvoted you.
Your post was chosen at random, as part of the advertisment campaign for @resteembot.
@resteembot is meant to help minnows get noticed by re-steeming their posts
To use the bot, one must follow it for at least 3 hours, and then make a transaction where the memo is the url of the post.
The price per post is the author's reputation, devided by 1000.
(For example 44 reputation means minimum 0.044 SBD or STEEM.)
Even better: If your reputation is lower than 28 re-steeming only costs 0.001 SBD!
If you want to learn more - read the introduction post of @resteembot.
If you want help spread the word - read the advertisment program post.
Steem ON!
Very useful for new starters to have a clear idea on how to store their " treasure " ;)
With the growing number of people to join IOTA every day clear information is essential
Thank you for helping the community.

I havent used the mobile wallet yet. There is a new wallet coming out very soon though called balshoi which looks increadible. I keep you posted on that or you head over to official slack and ask:) thanks for the feedback. Sending Iota now
The balshoi wallet will link up with the current seed accounts, right?
I am using the Android wallet, this one makes your android device to store your your founds, it will give access to your wallet ONLY from that device.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.iota.wallet&hl=en
It hasn't been officially announced but I believe yes they want to combine everything. Also it's somehow connected to your browser. You may be able to ask them in person. The designer is here on steemit @balshoi I believe;)
As alway, thank you @steemhoops99 for dropping knowledge on supporters like me. If only other platforms where as helpful as you guys lol. In fact, if there is any way I can help you support and spread the word about IOTA please do not hesitate to let me know!
