#Should Not Have to Move Assets Off Cold Storage To Play

Feedback for the Team:

I am unhappy about not being able to play my land plots from my wallet.

Same goes for Illuvitars, I should be able to keep them in my cold wallet and be able to fill the album.

I get that we want to make this easy to onboard but the security of my assets are more at risk transferring them from cold storage to this Passport account, yet that is the only way I can use them as intended.

I hope that the ability to self-custody on a cold wallet is something that the team is working on giving back to us. I am very uncomfortable about this current system. Not your keys, not your coins.

I am sorry to be complaining the day before launch. I hope you all know that I do appreciate the hard work you have put in and the game itself is looking incredible, which is why my assets are so important to me.

ETA: Since writing this I have been told that Kieran said it would be about 2 weeks for cold wallets to be functional. That isn't that long to wait to play for those of us who are moreconcerned with security.

Totally agree with @faint verge . I am often jumping to defend the team when someone fuds/attacks them but this is a big fckup from the imx/illuvium team (whoever is responsible for not getting this done in time for launch).

Never once was this possibility mentioned earlier, Kieran always said in ama's that we will have the option to attach a wallet to the passport and it can read what's on it.

Now 1 day before launch, out of the blue, you are forcing us to move our landplots to a wallet with only an email password protection. So even if this function gets ready in 1-2 weeks, it's already too late because we can't transfer them back without losing our builders.

We now have the choice between not playing our plots (we have invested in 3 years ago) during the first weeks and missing out on income during the busiest period
OR
moving them to a less secure wallet where we have to keep them in order to not lose the builders we pay for
OR
not using builders and fall behind others, meaning loss of income again...

Blows my mind that we’re at this point right before launch. Asset ownership for the IBG is one of the hallmarks of Illuvium but we can’t use or play them if we don’t want to move our assets off cold storage. There is an external wallet option for passport, so why is this not supported for launch?

make sure u guys set 2FA on your google account

I agree 100%.
The most important thing about Web3 is security.
To ignore that and start the game is really the worst thing you can do.
It's too late for someone to lose assets.

#

I agree with all the points above—like, who audited the „hot wallet“ to ensure our assets are safe there?!

You must be joking announcing a day before launch that we need to transfer our lands and Illuvitars to a hot wallet to be able to use them, for real - who had this genius idea getting this information to your community just less than 48 hours ahead of launch to us?!

That's an awful joke and dumps the vibes even more.

Its definitely a problem, a lot of people will also unknowingly move it on cold wallet when they can without knowing they will reset everything

I wish there would be an option to sell/transfer a land while keeping the progress. This would also increase value for lands played on

the passport does have "read-only" fearure

#

ur supposed to link your cold wallet and the game can read the assets

#

i remember they only supports 1 linked wallet, idk why its not ready for launch yet

# inland plover Should have practised sound investing, you had 1095 days, and markets going down...

At least don't be a troll to OG investors, smartass! You were not even here during those 1095 days so you have no idea what was said before. How do you practice sound investing when you are presented with a situation that was never in the cards 1 day before game launch?

Never was it said that we have to move land plots to hot wallets, never was it said that we lose builders when a plot is transferred. Now everyone who bought multiple lands with the goal of having someone manage it for them are screwed. Easy for you to laugh, not so funny for us!

I was, I been in the IMX space and building, but didn't invest, were you not aware of Passport wallet and how it works? What did you think a passport wallet was when they introduced it to the community? Did you not think that security aspect might be lost to factor in easier adoption by players and login in.

These are all the factors investors research and don't get overdramatic about. I would wait it out until Passport external feature works and you can play with cold wallet.

You are still not getting the point dude. It was specifically said that we can pair our metamask with a passport and it can read what's on it. So no, I did not think that they sacrifice security when there is a solution like that with passport.

You are super smart that you would wait it out, congrats! And give up fuel income in the busiest period at the same time, which you just don't give a damn about.

Same also here since the beginning and the first time I am not happy about how this was handled.
Nearly nobody wants to send their valuable assets if it is Illuvitars, Illuvials or Land to a hot wallet. And if, only temporary to transfer them back to the cold wallet.

Especially if we know our emails have been leaked a year ago and it's only secured over our email account which can be hacked quite easily.

I hope we can find a solution asap as many people won't know some information and could loose all their beloved assets and trust into Illuvium.

Maybe the best thing at the moment is to hold back on Zero ... wait for the external wallet link to be available and launch Zero then. Maybe even they would have time to add more features to it and eliminate most bugs.
As for fuel the DAO should 'sell' and give 5% to landholders until Zero would be ready

if i link my cold wallet to imx passport for view only, will i be able to play my land? can someone verify?

guys I get that you're upset but remember IZ was about to get delayed to after launch. We got it ready for launch but not in an ideal state. I'm sure the team will keep on improving it and things will get better. Just give them time. They've been working their 4sses off.

I thought it would link through my cold wallet, similar to what has been happening with Illuvidex up until now.

@digital nest is there any way of getting even an approximate time that we will have cold wallet functionality available?

That is 100% mandatory, but assets are still at risk on a hot wallet with no self custody, guarded only by email

Good to know. 2 weeks isn't that long to wait. I think I will just play with my fuel crates and wait it out in that case.

I mean we do not even have the "seed phrases" of these hot wallets. Who stores these seed phrases/private keys - on which database are they?!

Am I in the wrong movie or what. That's what we all was waiting for, for that long?! Just to find out that our lands are on a hot wallet were we do not even own our own seed phrase nor have full control (via ledger) over our security=!

Not to forget that fuel is not on-chain neither are blueprints (both wiped once transferred).

It is not okay for the team to allow people to risk their assets at launch

ancient wolf

#

Well then all of this has nothing to do with real asset ownership (web3). How is it possible Illuvium went with this to launch on mainnet when literally all your assets are at risk on this hot wallet.

But the problem is most are not aware of the risks which come with this hot wallet - and might cry louder then most want them to. (aka PR disaster).

#

I just think that we should have been informed earlier that this was a problem.
Because I really was not aware that a wallet can't be connected to our Passport.

I think Aaron mentioned it someday so maybe we could have guessed it.

Just saying that I will not be putting transferring anything for launch.

Would love to know if I play OW T0 runs would I lose the progress if I can later use my self custody wallet on the passport thing

@grizzled pollen Do you know when people transfer plots to Passport together with 15 blueprints for this plot will we still have an advantage in scanning or doesn't this help at all? On the other side facts are always lost if we transfer assets back so we need to search again for them back in our cold wallet once it's available?

I think i m waiting for the external feature tbh

# ancient wolf ye, but i mean the team has given there ETA, i think we should just let it rest....

Yes everyone needs now weight the risk and take the decision.
I think important is just that if you have an old email just do the effort to make a new account and additionally secure your email to be more or less safe.

For me I will not risk it maybe I will still send a plot or two behind my wifes back at least not to miss out on what I waited for so long. Lucky she doesn't know how to check the blockchain yet 😄

it's absolutely unacceptable to reset progress between passport and linked secondary wallet. team should fix their fault of not providing secondary wallet solution on time and handle this correctly

Is it confirmed that the progress would be lost after transferring back the lands to the hardware wallet then?

glad I found this thread... I do not think web 3 people will be willing to transfer funds to this IMX wallet, when we had illuvium beyond sales etc, we had control over that IMX wallet while this one, it seems like a trap of some sorts. Why do we even call ourselves a web 3 game. It seems a Web 2 one is even less complicated than what is happening here...

Does anyone has a solution for: My Metamask is covered by my Ledger, but Ledger removed "blind signing" for whatver reason! @quartz rapids - could you help me with this, or someone technical from the team.
Since I do not get the message on my ledger to sign the transaction and authorize the migration due to the fact that "blind signing" doesn't exist on ledger anymore.

Okey, so I will ask here. Are you using a ledger yourself and have you updated it to the newest firmware and run into the same problem that there is no more "blind sigining" in the settings?

One would hope IMX would be aware of imminent impactful changes such as a the primary hardware wallet deprecating a signing feature it relies on. But to be painfully honest, it would not surprise me if they hadn't even contemplated it until they're forced to...

My assets are basically locked as long as the IMX thing is not solved, since I cannot sign any messages since my ledger doesn't receive any.

Like being punished for having security as a priority. That's a joke - that's nothing to do with "self custody" when they restrict you of doing some stuff in dAPPs or Web3 just because some kids or no brainers have messed stuff up in the past and lost funds.

I think you just need to avoid their Ledger suite (whatever they call it) as much as possible.

So what I would need to do is setting them up with the same seed phrase my current ledger has, then simply not update them and trying to get on them somehow the ETH apk which is any version prior to 1.11.0 - the question I'm asking myself is, does Ledger Live allow me that without updating my firmware and if so does it get me a version prior to the mentioned above one.

faint verge

#

And would it kick my existing ledger with the newest firmware out of everything, or would they co-exist - one with an older firmware and the other one with the newest?

#

It has been so long since I set up a Ledger but I am pretty sure you don't need internet. You can have the same seedphrase on multiple ledgers. I'm almost 100% sure on that....

Unless they changed that too. 😂

Yeah it was a "funny" surprise for me as well today as I wasn't able to "activate" -> "Blind Sigining" / make sure you aren't updating your ETH apk, everything with 1.11.0 and beyond will not support blind signing anymore - only "clear signing".

Good. Fuel is expensive, it won't come down in price until land is producing and many won't put land on Passport. We need this feature fast.

I put on a couple of my lower tiers so I could play a bit, but not all and not my city. I'm producing no fuel right now.
