[Notice] The TRX Distribution Code has been removed.
Hi everyone,
The TRX distribution code has been removed in wallet and condenser project.
And it has been deployed.
You can refer these Pull Requests (PR-245, PR-3926) to get more detail.
If there is any issue, feel free to @ Me.
FAQ:
1. Why was the other function of TRX removed?
Because of the lack of combition of TRON key system and Steem key system, we removed the other function of TRX. The Steem key system is complex now. The extenal TRON key system will confuse the new Steem users who registered after the TRX distribution offline.
2. Does my TRX balance lost?
No. The balance of your TRX is still on your TRON account. This edition just removed the display of your TRX balance. Because the distribution active is ended. The best way to access your TRX balance is to install TronLink. The TronLink is the most professional wallet tool on TRON blockchain.
Hi @ety001 I have a issue, now that the TRX wallet as been removed "but hopefully will be reconsidered placed back" from the SteemitWallet how do I excess those funds that I had there without a password to excess it from TronScan?? There should of at least been some kind of warning period or something for people to be able to move their earned TRX before this removal.
I was able to import my TRX wallet into TronLink yesterday, so I can verify that the suggestion from @ety001 does work.
But yeah, some advance warning and published instructions would have been ideal. That was a bit of a scare. On the plus side, once you get the wallet imported, you can do staking and voting and begin earning interest.
Thank you @remlaps for trying this and for verifying that this is thankfully possible, it was indeed quite the scare 😵. What are your thoughts on it's removal? I still think it would be of more value if SteemitWallet had a Tron Wallet I even managed to get a few users on Steemit just for that reason alone.
Personally, I hardly ever used it, so I'm content to hardly ever use TronLink in the future😉.
As a feature for the web site: I could argue for keeping it or removing it. I don't really have a strong preference. On one hand, you're right that it might attract a few new users - and the development cost was already spent. But, on the other hand, Steemit doesn't seem to have a deep developer pool, so it makes sense for them to focus on their core capabilities. After TRX rewards were disabled, the Tron wallet adds unnecessary complexity, because it isn't really a core function any more.
An open question is whether Steemit has development plans, and whether that additional complexity was slowing/blocking them from moving forward on something else. History would suggest that this is unlikely, but there has been some sort of recent github activity relating to bringing back a testnet, so it's not impossible.
Yes, we should give more information about this.
I suggest you could use TronLink. That is the profressional wallet tool on TRON blockchain.
Thank you @ety001 for sharing that solution and for adding the "FAQ section" here I think that will really help a lot who are going to be in for a scare. However I feel sorry for those who will return and not see their TRX, some will be angry and some will forget they even had any which feels a bit wrong. I think we can all agree that the removal of the rewards was a great move for Steemit's users, however like I said myself I'm seeing mostly users saying we should keep the TRX wallet functional.
I think it's better as it has been removed. It was deceiving to still show all these while...
The reward for TRX being removed is good, but the wallet for trx could still be there
Yes, especially since sending TRX from user to user was very convenient, rather than forwarding from address to address. But probably no one used it :(
The suggestion is that we could use TronLink which is the professional wallet tool on TRON blockchain.

How can I reach my TRON account which was on Steem Wallet? @ety001
Hi, you could visit your TRON blockchain account by TronLink which is the wallet of TRON blockchain.
But I don't have private key or key store @ety001
The key is in your PDF file which was generated after you created account.
If you lost the PDF file, you could not get touch those TRX.
We were not store your Private Key.
Done thank you very much!
The rewards for TRX being removed is good, but the wallet for trx should still be there, many have collected TRX from when it was being distributed, removing it is going to cause confusion, please consider returning the wallet. Some have also got accustomed to using the wallet from that page removing it takes away functionality that was offered by having a SteemitWallet in the first place.

It is looking good to remove the code so that we can't see them in the claim rewards as we do not receive them in our wallet. Good work
@ety001 need your help my friend today I noticed that in my community wallet more than 2700 trx gone, as I was busy couldn't get time to notice this post, just saw your post. Thank you I will try to recover the trx, if failed will contact you
Hi, the https://steemitwallet.com just removed the UI about TRON. Your TRX is still in your TRON wallet. It suggests to download TronLink as the wallet for TRON blockchain.
